An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More)

Christmas Eve, the 1947 Edwin L. Marin winter holiday family relationship inheritance romantic comedy ("Adapted from original stories by Laurence Stallings and Richar H. Landau"; about a wealthy woman who adopts three orphan boys; many years later, they leave her care to make their own way in the world, and they become very different people, but when her greedy nephew threatens to steal her fortune, the three adopted sons return to help her) starring George Raft, George Brent, Randolph Scott, Joan Blondell, Virginia Field, Dolores Moran, Ann Harding, Reginald Denny, Douglass Dumbrille, Clarence Knob, Dennis Hoey, John Litel, Walter Sands, Joe Sawyer, and Konstantin Shayne. Note that United Artists probably was afraid that this "family" movie might not find an audience, and they deceptively advertised it with a main image of George Raft pointing a gun, no doubt hoping people might go to it thinking it was a George Raft film noir!

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair. The poster had separation, tears, and tiny paper loss in the left half of the horizontal folds and a lesser amount of wear on the other folds. It had pinholes, tears, and paper loss around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. At some point after the poster was backed, it sustained water damage, which caused the poster to lift from the linen along the bottom and also caused the poster to lift from the linen along several of the foldlines. This is a MAJOR defect, so bear this in mind before placing a bid on this poster.
