An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) A Guy Named Joe, the 1944 Victor Fleming World War II (WWII) military airplane aviation pilot angel romantic love triangle fantasy melodrama ("A guy a gal a pal it's swell!"; "Screen Play by Dalton Trumbo"; about a WWII pilot who is killed, and who is made a guardian angel to another pilot, and then that pilot meets and falls in love with the dead pilot's girlfriend, and the angel must realize that it is right to do the noble thing and help his girlfriend forget him and find love with the living pilot!) starring Spencer Tracy, Irene Dunne, Van Johnson, Ward Bond, James Gleason, Lionel Barrymore, Barry Nelson, and Esther Williams. Note that it is likely this movie was made with this odd "love triangle" (where one of the principals was dead!), no doubt to help women who had lost their husbands or boyfriends in World War II to not feel so guilty about finding a new love afterwards! 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: good to very good. The poster had tiny surface paper loss scattered on most of the folds, and it had smudges at the end of the title and in the background above it. Overall, the poster was in good to 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. Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame.
