An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) The Big Shot, the 1942 Lewis Seiler crime film noir ("'The Big Shot' Returns! Up from the gutter to make Gangland shudder!"; "Humphrey Bogart as the last of the Racket Barons.... The Big Shot of 'em all! The saga of the rise and fall of a gang lord and his lady!"; about a criminal who is a "two time loser", and his crooked lawyer wants him to take part in a robbery, but he knows getting caught would mean life in prison, so he refuses, but he ends up framed for the crime anyway) starring Humphrey Bogart, Irene Manning, Richard Travis, Susan Peters, Stanley Ridges, and Joe Downing. Note that this was the last film in which Bogart played a gangster (a part he had played many times!). The following movie he made was "Casablanca", which of course made him a giant star and drastically changed the roles he was able to take (and he showed his great diversity as an actor)! 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. The poster was never machine folded, but it was roughly handled while it was rolled, and it had many light partial horizontal creases scattered throughout. It had many small tears and stains around the edges, with more staining and longer tears in the bottom of the left and right borders, and some stains and smudges over the center and bottom of the title (see our image). 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. Note that the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster. Learn More about condition grades
