An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Wesley Ruggles' Too Many Husbands, the 1940 Wesley Ruggles romantic love triangle marital comedy ("This husband returned from the grave... But proved he was no ghost!"; "This husband returned from the office... To find he was no husband!"; "Just married... but to whom?"; "Which one?"; "Just Married"; "How happy she could be with either.... If the other would just go away!"; "A great director brings to the screen Somerset Maugham's hilariously merry play bout the gayest of marital mixups!"; "Based on the play by W. Somerset Maugham") starring Jean Arthur, Fred MacMurray, Melvyn Douglas, Harry Davenport, and Dorothy Peterson. This was one of many, many variations on the "Enoch Arden" theme, where a woman's husband is presumed dead, and she re-marries, and then the first husband returns from the dead, and naturally, she has difficulty knowing which husband to choose. Apparently, this version was very risque and daring, even though it was made long after the Production Code had supposedly ended that kind of behavior in movies!

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?
