Important Added Info: Note that this re-release poster appears to have been printed from the exact same plates as the original, but with different coloring. Whereas the original 1946 poster had a solid black background, this poster has a light blue background, and the color of Hayworth's dress has changed. Many find this orange, yellow and blue design very striking, given the iconic sexy smoking image of Rita. And this poster (which was made only thirteen years after the original release) is certainly an attractive alternative to the gazillion dollar original 1946 release poster with the same image! Also note that the poster says "A COLUMBIA REPRINT" in the lower right corner. This was a terminology used by Columbia Pictures at this time for some re-releases, and it has caused some collectors to be confused! This poster is the original poster from the 1959 re-release of this movie, and is NOT a "reprint"! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and minor fold and border wear. There was faint scuffing in the solid blue background area, mostly along the foldlines, and in the upper right. There was a 1/2" vertical tear in Hayworth's chin, but no paper loss. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
