The Couch, the 1962 Owen Crump psychiatrist serial killer horror thriller ("The most astonishing venture into the mind of murder any motion picture has ever dared."; "Some time ago, Hollywood began whispering about a picture without a name. The word was out that no one was to be allowed on the set of Warner Bros.' super secret Project Icepick. Absolute secrecy prevailed while the cameras were turning. The doors were locked. The public was barred. The performers were asked not to divulge the mystery that en-shrouded this unique film. Now we are ready to tell you the name of Project Icepick. It is The Couch. It is the most astonishing venture into the mind of a murder any motion picture has ever dared."; "So startling it had to be made in secret with the doors bolted - with the public left out"; "The picture that had to be made in secret! The doors were bolted. The public was kept out. Bonded guards rotated in 24-hour duty. It is the most astonishing venture into the mind of murder any motion picture has ever dared."; "Written by the master suspense author of Psycho-- Warner Bros.' super secret 'Project Icepick' now daringly unveiled for the screen."; "Written by the author of Psycho"; written by Robert Bloch; about a serial killer who wants to stop killing, and he seeks the help of a psychiatrist, but in between sessions, he continues killing!) starring Grant Williams, Shirley Knight, Onslow Stevens, William Leslie, and Anne Helm

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had an extra horizontal fold just below the regular top one, with some small tears and tiny paper loss on parts of some folds. It had tears and tiny paper loss in the top blank border and some writing on the back that bled through to the front in the bottom of the image next to the title, and some other writing that bled through to the front in Knight's credit. Overall, the poster was in 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.
