Speed Crazy, the 1958 William Hole Jr. automobile car racing sports crime thriller ("The Jet Hot Age!"; "From juke joint to drag strip ...it's the livin' end!"; "Hear Slick Slavin sing 'Speed Crazy'") starring Brett Halsey, Yvonne Lime, Charles Willcox, Slick Slavin, Jacqueline Ravell, and Keith Byron. Note that posters from this movie are often purchased by fans of car racing because the posters from it all depict scantily clad Yvonne Lime waving on a series of race cars!

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster was folded in half an extra time, and it had small paper loss at the crossfolds and some creases, tears, and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of some folds, with a few pinholes and tears in the corners. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame.
