An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) John Huston's We Were Strangers, the 1949 John Huston Cuba revolutionary romantic crime melodrama ("Explosive in its emotional impact... it emerges as the most fascinating picture of the year!"; "An explosive story of violent lives... Lived dangerously!"; "China Valdes...a woman of violent hates and fierce love..."; "Tony Fenner...a tough guy with a conscience..."; about a Cuban revolutionary and the sister of an executed revolutionary who come together to try to kill top Cuban officials at a state funeral) starring Jennifer Jones (as China Valdes), John Garfield (as Tony Fenner), Pedro Armendariz, Gilbert Roland, Ramon Novarro, Wally Cassell, and David Bond. Note that this movie was very political, and it was unusual in that both the left wing of the United States and the right wing strongly criticized the movie, and it was a failure at the box office, and was withdrawn soon after its first release! 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. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some tiny bits of paper loss scattered in the vertical foldline, with a lesser amount of wear on the horizontal fold. It had some pinholes and smudges around the edges. Overall, the poster was in very 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, but they are really not very distracting (and a talented restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster).
