Wellman drug addiction World War I (WWI) veterans-returning-from-war-to-find-no-jobs melodrama (which deals with the drug addiction problem among World War I veterans, a daring subject for 1933) starring Richard Barthelmess, Aline MacMahon, Loretta Young (20 years old!), Gordon Westcott, Robert Barrat, and Ward Bond (this was his 35th movie since 1929, and he was uncredited or played bit parts in all of them!; he would end up making a staggering 272 movies, and apparently, Warner Bros. directors liked to give him a part in virtually every movie they made, often uncredited or bit parts, even after he was a well established actor!; he had been best friends with John Wayne for years, as supposedly they were college roommates, and appeared in almost all of Wayne's later movies, especially those directed by John Ford; he achieved stardom at the end of his career as the star of TV's "Wagon Train", and died in the third year of that show's production in 1960) 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: good to very good. The poster had some small tears in the bottom horizontal fold with minor wear on the other foldlines, with small paper loss in the bottom right blank corner. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was backed onto a thin linen, and it was roughly handled after that, and there is now 2" of separation in the right end of the middle foldline, and the poster is slightly "lifting" from the linen in the bottom right corner. If I owned this really cool poster, I would certainly have it removed from the thin backing, and have it properly backed. It would need very little restoration, and after proper backing, it will look fantastic! Learn More about condition grades
