An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Lifeboat, the classic 1943 Alfred Hitchcock (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) World War II (WWII) shipwreck survivor suspense melodrama ("Out of man's rawest emotions - comes the most amazing drama life ever staged!"; based on the story by John Steinbeck; set entirely on a lifeboat adrift on the Atlantic ocean, which has eight survivors from a ship torpedoed by a Nazi U-boat, and it also has a German sailor from the U-boat, but the other eight survivors don't know that!) starring Tallulah Bankhead, William Bendix, Walter Slezak, Mary Anderson, John Hodiak, Henry Hull, Heather Angel, Hume Cronyn, and Canada Lee. Note that Alfred Hitchcock was famous for having cameo roles in his movies, but because this movie had no other characters other than the lifeboat survivors, he could not appear in the usual way (but he included a scene where a floating newspaper is shown that has his picture on it)! 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 to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and a 4" tear in the top center extending into the top right of the "F" and the top of the "E" and into the background to the left of the "F". It had some tiny paper loss on parts of some folds. The poster was used in Denmark and it has a Danish stamp in the bottom white background area next to Anderson's credit. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. Someone backed it onto linen with slight restoration and left the Danish stamp alone, and they left no excess around the edges. The poster is lightly rippled in the top and bottom borders, both the poster and the linen. It can certainly be displayed and enjoyed as it is, or one might choose to have it re-backed.
