A 1950 Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81" [104 x 206 cm]) (Learn More) City Lights, the classic 1931 Charlie Chaplin silent romantic comedy melodrama (written and directed by Charles Chaplin; Chaplin is a Tramp who befriends a blind flower seller, and he loves her, but is afraid she can't return his love; the movie includes a memorable boxing scene, and a wonderful final scene where the girl is cured of her blindness) starring Charles Chaplin, Virginia Cherrill, Florence Lee, Harry Myers, Al Ernest Garcia, and Hank Mann. Note that Charlie Chaplin stood alone against the coming of sound to movies, and he made this movie as a silent movie, although it had a soundtrack which included the song "Smile", which Chaplin himself wrote. He would release another silent movie, "Modern Times", in 1936, and then finally agreed to make sound pictures! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

The poster had small paper loss at some crossfolds and some creases, tears, smudges, scuffs, and tiny paper loss on parts of some foldlines. The poster had faint ink transfer from the title in the white background area above it (caused by the poster being folded too quickly after being printed). Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, but the restorer did not address the faint ink transfer described above (see our image).
