Important Added Info: Note that this is an unusual poster in that it shows the climax of the very exciting and very long chase scene in the movie. One would wonder why they would feature that scene on a poster that was intended to be displayed to people entering the movie, thus ruining the suspense of the scene! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had fine surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines (typical of high-gloss posters of this period). Likely before it was backed, it was displayed and faded somewhat. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but the restorer did not attempt to address the fading issue. Learn More about condition grades
