Important Added Info: Note that first release movie paper from this movie is very rare. We have only previously auctioned one half-sheet, two one-sheets (28 and 29 years ago), a window card, and two pressbooks (and NO other first release posters, only lobby cards and stills). That half-sheet has now been reconsigned to us, so it is still the only example we have ever auctioned! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thicker paper backing, it CAN'T be sent rolled (someone could conceivably roll it or try to do so, but we think it would have a strong chance of lessening its condition, so we will only send it in a very large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage).

It had a tiny tear in the left and right borders, and just a few tiny pinholes around the edges. It had some faint smudges and scuffs scattered in the image, including in McCrea's cheek. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
