As Monroe and Mitchum meet, fight and love!"; "Only yesterday I was the honky-tonk dancer, the gambler's doll."; "He was the frontier-blazer, a man used to taking what he wanted..."; "Here, we sensed our over-powering loneliness."; "In the wonder of High-Fidelity Directional-Stereophonic Sound"; "Engulfs you in a flood of excitement!"; "And she can sing too!"; "From a story by Louis Lantz"; about a saloon singer and her gambler husband, who are rafting in Canada to register a mining claim; they are rescued by a farmer and his young son, and the cowardly gambler deserts his wife, and she, the farmer, and the son have to fend off an Indian attack) starring Robert Mitchum, Marilyn Monroe, Rory Calhoun, Tommy Rettig, Murvyn Vye, and Douglas Spencer. Note that Marilyn Monroe was injured during the violent river rafting scene, and she walked on crutches through the rest of the filming! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: R.H. Condition: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at some crossfolds and slightly larger paper loss at the crossfold that falls at the corner of Monroe's mouth in the large image. There were some creases, smudges, scuffs, and fine surface paper loss on parts of many foldlines, and creases, smudges, small tears, and tiny areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster. There were some smudges and small stains in the white background areas. Overall, the poster was in 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, and the poster has had a fair amount of restoration in the borders and solid white background areas, no doubt to "even them out", but the image areas have not had much restoration. Note that at some point after linenbacking, the poster was roughly handled and there are now minor creases in the right of the bottom border (solely in the excess linen, and not in the poster itself).
