An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Italian Locandina Movie Poster (measures 13" x 27 1/2" [33 x 70 cm]) (Learn More) Key Largo, the 1948 John Huston crime film noir ("Killer against killer, gun to gun, on the hot spot of the Florida Keys!"; "A cast as explosive as its story!"; "You'll see the performances of your life in the hit of their lives!"; set in the Florida Keys during a hurricane!; based on the hit play by Maxwell Anderson) starring Humphrey Bogart, Edward G. Robinson, Lauren Bacall, Lionel Barrymore, Claire Trevor (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Thomas Gomez, John Rodney, Dan Seymour, Harry Lewis, and Marc Lawrence. Note that this was the final movie in which Humphrey Bogart co-starred with Lauren Bacall. They first met during the filming of "To Have and Have Not" in 1944, and then were married in 1945. They re-teamed for "The Big Sleep" in 1946, and then made "Dark Passage" the following year. They teamed again in for this movie in 1948, but they did not make another movie together, likely having a lot to do with their having two children. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Luigi Martinati Important Added Info: Note that Luigi Martinati is widely regarded as one of the two best post World War II Italian movie poster artists, but his work is almost always seen on one-panels and two-panels. This locandina, which we have never seen before, has wonderful Martinati art of the top three stars! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had pinholes and smudges around the edges. It had tears and stains near the middle of the right border entering the "N" of Barrymore's credit. It had a diagonal crease running from above Bogart's credit up to the right border by the end of Robinson's sleeve. It was folded across the middle and had some tiny tears in that area. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
