Note that Mason was originally slated for the villain's role, but he had been a bad guy in so many of his British films, he successfully lobbied to be the protagonist in his first U.S. film.

Important Added Info:

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had a Canadian censor stamp in the middle right white background area and also a partial censor stamp in the bottom center. It had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some tiny bits of paper loss on some foldlines. It had smudges around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above.
