An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Style Z Thirty by Forty Movie Poster (30x40; measures 30" x 40" [76 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Gun Crazy, the 1950 Joseph H. Lewis bad girl crime film noir ("Thrill crazy... Kill crazy..."; "The Flaming Life of Laurie Starr [the lethal blonde]"; "...her violent loves! ...her vicious crimes! ...her wild escapes!"; "Notorious Laurie Starr! ...wanted in a dozen states... hunted by the F.B.I.!"; "She was more than any man could handle!"; "From The Saturday Evening Post Story by MacKinlay Kantor") starring Peggy Cummins, John Dall, Berry Kroeger, Russ Tamblyn, and Don Beddoe. Note that in 1949 Joseph H. Lewis had released this movie as "Deadly Is the Female". In 1950 he re-titled this movie "Gun Crazy" and gave it a full-scale release under that name. There are posters of all sizes and lobby cards for both titles (which is why we list them as two separate titles), and the "Gun Crazy" paper has never been called a "re-release" within the hobby, although technically it is. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that (for unknown reasons) the one-sheet poster from this movie has survived in fairly sizable quantities, but this 30x40 is certainly extremely rare (it is the only example of this poster we have seen)! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster was never folded. There was semi-circular paper loss in the bottom left corner that started 6 1/2" above the bottom corner and went in a semi-circle through the man's pants, and slightly into the girl's dress, ending 4" from the bottom left corner (fortunately, most of the missing paper was the blank white border, and part of the man's pants, which were easy to replicate). There were creases and small tears around the edges of the poster, but primarily in the blank borders. There were two partial horizontal creases in the middle of the left of the poster, extending into the top of the "CR" of "CRAZY". There were some faint smudges and scuffs scattered in the poster, more so in the background areas. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The person who backed the poster re-created the slight missing art in the bottom left corner, and performed slight touch up to the other defects described above. I think this poster displays well, and will look great on the new owner's wall! Learn More about condition grades
