An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Style A One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) True to Life, the 1943 George Marshall radio romantic love triangle comedy ("Paramount's Side-Splitting Laugh Riot!"; about a radio show writer who rents a room from a typical small town family, and writes about their life on his show, but he falls in love with their oldest daughter) starring Mary Martin, Franchot Tone, Dick Powell, Victor Moore, Mabel Paige, and William Demarest NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: fair to good. This poster has been linenbacked, but it was not very well done, likely both because the restorer did not do a good job at all, and because the years since it has been linenbacked have not been kind to the poster. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. Generally, it had some tears within the artwork, including in Martin's face and body, pinholes, tears, and stains around the edges of the poster, and stains and smudges scattered through the poster. The poster was not well backed at all, because you can still see some or all of the defects generally described above (in some cases, as should be immediately evident in our image, the linenbacker did no restoration to some of the defects), and if there was restoration of the above defects, it was not done very well. Certainly, a talented restorer could perform additional restoration (either with or without re-backing the poster), but it might be fairly expensive to have this done, so bear that in mind before you place a bid. 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
