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

Downhill Racer, the 1969 Michael Ritchie Winter Olympics skiing sports melodrama ("How fast must a man go to get from where he's at?"; "Written by James Salter"; based on the novel by Oakley Hall) starring Robert Redford, Gene Hackman, Camilla Sparv, Joe Jay Jalbert, and Tom J. Kirk. Note that early publicity items on this movie refer to it as "The Downhill Racer", yet we have never seen any poster reference it as anything other than "Downhill Racer".

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that there are many collectors who consider this poster to have one of the very finest poster images of the 1960s! Also note that this poster is not marked, but since we know that there IS a style B poster on this title, and this poster has a different image, we assume that this poster is the style A, so we are referring to it in that fashion.

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The top and bottom borders of the poster were trimmed off and it had fine surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines (typical of high-gloss posters of this period). Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The person who backed the poster replaced the top and bottom borders with paper from another poster. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
