An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Orson Welles' The Magnificent Ambersons, the 1942 Orson Welles historical family relationship romantic melodrama ("From the man who made 'The Best Picture of 1941'"; "'Keep away from my Mother... You're making her the Talk of the Town!'..."; "Orson Welles' Mercury Production of Booth Tarkington's Great Novel"; "The startling drama of a girl, wealthy and beautiful, who let pride break the heart of the man who adored her. A revealing challenge to every woman who thinks she can deny love!"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about the haughty heir of a wealthy family, and his comeuppance he receives over the course of his life) starring Joseph Cotten, Dolores Costello, Anne Baxter, Tim Holt, Agnes Moorehead (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Ray Collins, Erskine Sanford, and Richard Bennett. Note that many film buffs consider this movie to be similar in quality to "Citizen Kane" (made by Welles just prior to this movie), with the notable exception of the ending (the studio took the movie away from Welles, and substituted a ridiculous "happy" ending in place of Welles' somber one, and that new ending was not filmed by Welles; apparently, the original ending no longer exists, and finding it would be one of the greatest possible finds of "lost" film ever!) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster was never machine folded. There was a 4" horizontal tear in the upper right blue background area (next to the three dots after "Town!"). There was a 2" tear in the upper left border extending into the woman's dress. There was a 2" tear in the lower right border extending into the yellow background next to Welles, and a 1" tear below it, extending into the yellow background to the right of "Magnificent". There were several 1" to 2" tears in the lower half of the left border and some faint smudges and scuffs scattered throughout the poster. There was a 2" tear in the left of the top border ending in the background above Holt's head. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well from any reasonable viewing distance, but you can see signs of the restoration of the above defects from very close up.
