An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Let's Make Love, the 1960 George Cukor musical romantic mistaken identity comedy ("It's all about what you can't get enough of! [Fun! Joy! Laughter! And Love! Love! Love!]"; "Meet that man Montand! He's dedicated to the new Monroe Doctrine!"; "Written for the screen by Norman Krasna"; produced by Jerry Wald; about a billionaire who learns that he is going to be parodied in a stage play, and he pretends to be an actor so he can learn what the play is about, and while doing so, he falls in love with the beautiful star) starring Marilyn Monroe, Yves Montand, Tony Randall, Frankie Vaughan, Joe Besser, Wilfrid Hyde-White, and David Burns. Note that Gregory Peck was originally cast as the lead in this movie, but Marilyn Monroe's then-husband, Arthur Miller, re-wrote the script so that she had a bigger role, and that caused Peck to leave. The studio tried to hire Rock Hudson, but couldn't get him, and then they got Yves Montand, who was Marilyn Monroe's pick. That was especially unfortunate and ironic, because Monroe had an affair with him during the filming of the movie (after unsuccessfully attempting to have one with Frankie Vaughan).

This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had minor wear on the folds and in the borders. It had a thin red mark in the background to the right of Montand's credit. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. 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).
