An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) The Caribbean Mystery, the 1945 Robert D. Webb Trinidad tropical island mystery crime thriller ("From the novel 'Murder in Trinidad' by John W. Vandercook"; with dialogue by Nicholas Ray) starring James Dunn, Sheila Ryan, Edward Ryan, Jackie Paley, and Robert Shaw NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: fair to good. This poster has been linenbacked, but it was not very well done, either because the restorer did not do a very good job, or because the years since it has been linenbacked have not been kind to the poster. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. Generally, it had creases, tears, and areas of paper loss on parts of most of the foldlines in the top half of the poster, and some tears and areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster. The poster was not that well backed, because you can see signs of the above general defects and the restoration of the defects (in some cases, as should be immediately evident in our image, the linenbacker did no restoration to some of the defects). I would think few collectors would want to display it as it is, without someone performing some additional restoration. Certainly, a talented restorer could perform additional restoration (either with or without re-backing the poster), but it might be fairly expensive to have this done, so bear that in mind before you place a bid.
