An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) One Body Too Many, the 1944 Frank McDonald mystery horror comedy ("Funniest Killer-Diller Chiller!"; "Funniest who-dun-it ever filmed!"; a wacky story of a wealthy man who has died who left instructions to have all his heirs gather in his house where his body is on display, and if they leave, they are disinherited, and some of the heirs try to kill some of the others) starring Jack Haley, Jean Parker, Bela Lugosi, Blanche Yurka, Lyle Talbot, Douglas Fowley, Bernard Nedell, and Dorothy Granger NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good to very good. This poster has been linenbacked, but it was not very well done, either because the restorer did not do a very good job, or because the years since it has been linenbacked have not been kind to the poster. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. Generally, it had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds, tiny dots of surface paper loss in the vertical foldline, and some tears to the left of the middle crossfold, as well as an NSS stamp that slightly bleeds through from the back in the left of the bottom crossfold. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above general defects and the restoration of the defects (in some cases, as should be immediately evident in our image, the linenbacker did no restoration to some of the defects). I can imagine some collectors displaying this poster just as it is, and accepting the defects and signs of restoration, although other collectors would only display it if it had additional restoration.
