A 1971 Re-Release Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Walt Disney's 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, the classic 1955 Richard Fleischer Walt Disney underwater science fiction (sci-fi) scuba diving adventure thriller ("The Mightiest Motion Picture Of Them All!"; "Based on the novel by Jules Verne") starring Kirk Douglas, James Mason (as Captain Nemo), Paul Lukas, Peter Lorre, Robert J. Wilke, Ted de Corsia, and Carleton Young. Note that the studio claimed that Kirk Douglas did all of his scenes himself, refusing a stunt double, even for the "thrilling and dangerous underwater scenes"! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that (bizarrely) the back of this one-sheet is stamped "1 SHEET 20,000 LEAGUES 26x39 R71/78" (although the poster is linenbacked, you can see it when you hold the poster up to a strong light), and yet the poster does NOT measure "26x39", but actually measures 27" x 41"! I have no explanation for why this is (but we know that this also occurred on a 1971 poster for "The Barefoot Executive", so obviously, it occurred in 1971 at the printer of Disney posters)! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster had had been displayed and the letters of the title had faded from a bright yellow to a very light yellow. It also had fine surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines (typical of high-gloss posters of this period) and some faint scuffs scattered in the image. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. SOmeone mounted it onto a thin linen with very little excess, and they only did some fold restoration. The poster is slightly "lifting" from the linen in the corners. In spite of all these defects, the poster could be displayed as it is, but certainly, bear all of the above in mind before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades
