An Undated (probably 1950s) Re-Release Theatrical Linenbacked French Large Movie Poster (31x47; measures 30 3/4" x 40 3/4" [78 x 104 cm]) (Learn More)

Chain Lightning, the 1950 Stuart Heisler post-World War II (WWII) military test pilot airplane aviation thriller ("There's a new Bogart thrill in the sky!"; " - with that special brand of Bogart romance"; "The screen's biggest bolt of Bogart -- from Warner Bros."; "It Hits With Thunderbolt Force!"; "What an action role! He's a test pilot for jet planes!"; "Suggested by a Story by J. Redmond Prior") starring Humphrey Bogart, Eleanor Parker, Raymond Massey, Richard Whorf, James Brown, and Morris Ankrum. Note that the producers of this movie used an unusual tagline, "with that special brand of Bogart romance", which is certainly not how you would think of Bogart nowadays, but I guess in 1950 it made sense to advertise him that way!

Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this 1950s re-release French poster!

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of most folds. It had some stains scattered in Parker's credit at upper right. It had paper loss in the border to the right of the "R" of "PARKER" and similar paper loss at the left end of the top fold, and the left and right ends of the bottom fold, with some pinholes and tears in the rest of the borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
