An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Miracle on 34th Street (released in other English-speaking countries as "The Big Heart"), the classic 1947 George Seaton New York City Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade heart-warming Christmas holiday family romantic legal lawyer melodrama ("Story by Valentine Davies"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about a man who insists he is the one and only Santa Claus, and he ultimately proves that he is!) starring Maureen O'Hara (as Doris Walker), John Payne (as Fred Gailey), Edmund Gwenn (winner of the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; as Kris Kringle, the real Santa Claus!), Gene Lockhart (as the judge who would be committing political suicide if he rules there is no Santa Claus!), Porter Hall (as Mr. Sawyer), William Frawley, Jerome Cowan (as the District Attorney), Philip Tonge (as Julian Shellhammer), Natalie Wood (as Susan Walker, the little girl who doesn't believe in Santa Claus), Alvin Greenman (as Alfred), Harry Antrim (as Mr. Macy), Herbert Heyes (as Mr. Gimble), Thelma Ritter (as Peter's Mother), Jack Albertson (as the Post Office mail sorter), and James Seay (as Dr. Pierce). Note that in an ironic twist, this all-time Christmas favorite was not viewed favorably by studio chief Darryl F. Zanuck. He did not think it would do well, and so he had it released in June, rather than the obvious December, and he instructed the publicity department to "hide" the fact that it was a Christmas movie!

The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of some foldlines, and extra creases on the right half of the top and bottom foldlines. There was slight darkening along the bottom foldline (there was likely once tape on the back of that area that bled through). There were pinholes, tears, and some small paper loss around the edges, and the top edge of the poster had darkened, and also in the top right corner. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but the restorer did not address the darkening issues described above, or the border defects, but the poster displays pretty well in spite of them (and of course, additional restoration could be performed, with or without re-backing the poster).
