An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Style A One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Orson Welles' Journey Into Fear, the 1942 Norman Foster & Orson Welles World War II (WWII) military crime film noir ("The master dramatist turns his hand to mystery... and gives the screen a new conception of pyramiding suspense. - The gripping, breath-taking melodrama of an American engineer in the Middle East, possessing a secret the Nazis want... snared by a night club beauty, stalked by a ruthless killer whose relentless menace mounts terror by terror to one of the most thrilling climaxes on the screen."; "Screen Play by Orson Welles and Joseph Cotten"; "From the Novel by Eric Ambler"; about a U.S. Navy engineer who ends up pursued by Nazi agents while on a ship during World War II and he is involved with the mysterious Colonel Haki, who may or may not be helping him) starring Joseph Cotten, Dolores Del Rio, Ruth Warrick, Agnes Moorehead, Jack Durant, Everett Sloane, and Orson Welles (as Colonel Haki, a character who appeared again in the 1944 film The Mask of Dimitrios). Note that there is much about this movie that is shrouded in mystery! It was made while RKO was learning how poorly Citizen Kane and The Magnificent Ambersons were doing, and by the time it was released, Welles had been fired. Before it was completed, Welles was ordered to re-cut the beginning and end, to shoot more material, and to add a voice-over by Joseph Cotten! It is a certainty that Welles was the producer and co-screenwriter with Joseph Cotten, but many people believe that Welles actually directed it as well, although others think he only directed parts of it (Welles himself said that he did not direct any of it, but he was known to not always tell the truth!).

The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds. It had a tiny bit of surface paper loss in the left of the top horizontal fold and it had tiny paper loss in the right of the fold, in Cotten's cheek. There were some creases and tiny tears on small parts of some foldlines. The borders were folded back at one time and stapled down with tiny staple holes. There were smudges and stains in the right blank border between the top and middle foldlines. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
