Important Added Info: Note that first release 1928 movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have never sold even a single movie paper item from this movie until we received this half-sheet! A talented restorer gel backed the poster (meaning they backed the poster onto a gel material) and they then performed excellent restoration to the defects described below, and then removed the gel backing, so that the poster still exactly looks and feels like an original poster (and it is!), with no backing at all. The restoration was done really well, and the poster displays really well! Condition: very good. The poster was gel backed (see above). This particular poster was never folded. It had a 7" vertical tear in the left of the bottom border, extending into the lady's neck. There was a 10" slightly semi-circular crease or tear in the left of her hair running to the top border. There were a few creases in the middle left of the image, entering the man's chin and the bottom left of her hair. The poster had a few small tears, pinholes, and tiny bits of paper loss in the borders. The poster was gel backed by a talented professional and expert restoration was performed to the above defects. The poster looks fantastic, and it has had truly minor touch up, and best of all, it still completely looks and feels like an unrestored poster! Learn More about condition grades
