An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) You Were Meant For Me, the 1948 Lloyd Bacon Roaring Twenties romantic musical ("Jeanne Craine & Dan Dailey were meant for each other... In You Were Meant For Me"; "Original Screen Play by Elick Moll and Valentine Davies"; about a Big Band leader who meets a girl in one of the towns he is performing in, and they impulsively marry, but the 1929 Stock Market Crash makes life very difficult for them) starring Jeanne Crain ("['Margie']"), Dan Dailey ("[Mother Wore Tights]"), Oscar Levant, Barbara Lawrence, Selena Royle, Percy Killbride, and Herbert Anderson. Legend has it that Marilyn Monroe was cast in this movie in a very minor role. However, according to Sheila Graham, "her part ended on the cutting room floor", but there is a scene where a face which looks like Monroe's is among those reacting on a crowded dance floor! 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: fair. The poster had paper loss in the middle right, extending into the image. It had small paper loss at the crossfolds and some darkening on parts of the folds, with some ink transfer in the light background areas, and pinholes around the edges. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. 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.
