Date Sold 5/3/2016Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably 1960s) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Danish Movie Poster (measures 24 1/2" x 33 1/2" [62 x 85 cm]) (Learn More) Touch of Evil, the classic 1958 Orson Welles Mexico drugs crooked policeman revenge crime film noir thriller ("The story of the strangest vengeance ever planned!"; based on the novel 'Badge of Evil' by Whit Masterson) starring Charlton Heston, Janet Leigh, Orson Welles, Joseph Calleia, Akim Tamiroff, Marlene Dietrich ("She felt his touch - once, and never forgot it!"), Zsa Zsa Gabor (Dietrich & Gabor billed as "'With Guest Stars' Marlene Dietrich, Zsa Zsa Gabor"), Joanna Moore, Akim Tamiroff, Valentin de Vargas, and Victor Millan. Note that this movie was re-released in 1998, finally re-edited to satisfy the changes Orson Welles requested in a memo he wrote to the studio right after its first release when he found out the film had been cut. It took 40 years, but Welles' original vision was mostly restored. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that, for unknown reasons, Danish posters from this title are INCREDIBLY rare! We have never seen even one Danish poster from this movie prior to being consigned this one. We think it is more likely a re-release from the 1960s, but it is possible it is from the 1958 first release (especially because we had never seen another poster that would predate this). However, there is no printer information and the Universal credit is in block text with no logo, and also, Orson Welles is not prominently pictured as he was on the first release campaign in the U.S. and other countries. But maybe that is how they chose to promote this in Denmark! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. What IS linenbacking?

The poster had small paper loss at the top crossfold and some small tears and creases scattered down the vertical fold, with minor wear on the horizontal folds. It had pinholes in the corners and some scuffs in the solid black areas. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Learn More about condition grades
