Samson and Delilah, the classic 1949 Cecil B. DeMille Biblical religious sword-and-sandal doomed romance adventure epic ("The staggering story of strength... And seduction... Of the mightiest mortal who ever lived!"; "Based upon the history of Samson & Delilah in the Holy Bible, Judges 13-16; The greatest love story since the beginning of man... and woman!"; "Cecil B. DeMille's Masterpiece") starring Hedy Lamarr (in the title role as Delilah), Victor Mature (in the title role as Samson), George Sanders (as The Saran of Gaza), Angela Lansbury (as Semadar), Henry Wilcoxon, and "a Cast of Thousands" (usually this is a major overstatement, but in the case of this movie, it is surely accurate!)

Important Added Info:

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster was folded once vertically and several times horizontally. It had many tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss scattered in the lower part of the vertical fold, with fine surface paper loss in parts of the rest of the vertical fold, including in Lamarr's face. It had a much lesser amount of wear on the horizontal folds, and it had pinholes, tiny tears, and some tiny paper loss in the blank borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did little restoration to the defects described above. If I owned this great poster, I would surely have additional restoration performed, with or without re-backing it, but that will be the decision for the new owner of this poster.
