An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Desire Me, the 1947 George Cukor (who was so disappointed with the production of this movie, he had his name taken off of all credits; this was the first movie MGM ever released without a director's credit) post-World War II (WWII) romantic melodrama ("From a Novel by Leonhard Frank"; about a married French couple held prisoner in a Nazi camp in World War II; they make a good male friend in the camp, and the husband is killed, and the friend comes to his widow to tell her the news, and does not know how to tell her that he loves her and wants to make a new life with her) starring Greer Garson (billed as "Greer Garson's great in M-G-M's 'Desire Me'"), Robert Mitchum, Richard Hart, Morris Ankrum, and George Zucco NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: fair to good. This poster has been linenbacked, but it was not very well done, likely both because the restorer did not do a good job at all, and because the years since it has been linenbacked have not been kind to the poster. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. Generally, it had tape on the back of each crossfold and on the back of each corner, all of which bled through to the front, and there were stains in the bottom credits area. The poster was not well backed at all, because you can still see some or all of the defects generally described above (in some cases, as should be immediately evident in our image, the linenbacker did no restoration to some of the defects), and if there was restoration of the above defects, it was not done very well. Certainly, a talented restorer could perform additional restoration (either with or without re-backing the poster), but it might be fairly expensive to have this done, so bear that in mind before you place a bid.
