An Original 1976 (from the first release of this movie in Japan) Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Japanese "B2" Movie Poster (measures 20" x 28 1/2") (Learn More) Les Enfants Terribles (released in the U.S. in 1952 as "The Strange Ones"), the 1950 Jean-Pierre Melville French bizarre family relationship sibling melodrama (from the novel by Jean Cocteau, who was also allowed to direct for one day) starring Nicole Stephane, Edouard Dermithe, Renee Cosima, Jacques Bernard, and Melvyn Martin NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Masakatsu Ogasawara Important Added Info: What IS linenbacking? "Linenbacking" is a process that is used to preserve movie posters (the best restorers de-acidify the poster during the restoration process), and to make them far easier to display (it is much easier and less expensive to frame a linenbacked poster). When linenbacking is done correctly, it adds to the value of the poster, and is NOT a defect! Note that the specific poster in this auction was well linenbacked, but the restorer did not attempt to make the poster look "perfect". You may still see some slight evidence of the restoration and/or the defects when you look at the poster from inches away, and you may be able to see slight signs of restoration even from a distance. But the poster now looks quite nice, and I think most collectors would be quite happy to display this poster on their wall. In general, know that we received many of the linenbacked posters we are currently selling already linenbacked, but we have examined every poster EXTREMELY carefully, and we did our best to describe what condition the poster was in PRIOR to restoration, the defects the poster had PRIOR to restoration (in the "Pre-Restoration Defects & Quality of Restoration" section), any unrestored defects, and, when it seemed worth noting, something about the quality of the restoration itself. Many other auction houses claim to match what we do in this area, but EVERY person who regularly buys movie posters from major auctions can tell you this is just not the case! We never intentionally overgrade a single item, we never "accidentally" miss defects, and we never enhance a single image! Condition: very good. The poster was never folded. It had a few scuffs scattered in the solid black areas and some tiny tears in the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
