An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41 1/2" [69 x 105 cm]) (Learn More) Wanted For Murder, the 1946 Lawrence Huntington English romantic detective mystery crime thriller ("From the stage play by Percy Robinson & Terence DeMarney"; "Screen Play by Emeric Pressburger & Rodney Ackland"; basically a precursor of both Hitchcock's "Dial M For Murder" and "Frenzy", about a pair of men suspected in a series of strangling killings, and the police have the wrong one as their prime suspect, which mirrors "Frenzy", and once the police zero in on the right suspect, they have to trick him into trapping himself, because they have no evidence, which exactly mirrors "Dial M For Murder") starring Eric Portman, Dulcie Gray, Derek Farr, Roland Culver, Stanley Holloway, Barbara Everest and George Carney NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the top crossfold and minor wear on the folds. It had a minor printing defect that caused horizontal lines in the top left corner, including in the woman's hair. It had some scuffs in the lower left solid black area and a few tiny bits of paper loss in the blank borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good 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, but they are really not very distracting (and a talented restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster). 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.
