Auction History Result m103 NO ROAD BACK linen Italian two-panel movie poster R64 Sean Connery Date Sold 10/11/2005Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A 1964 Re-release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Italian Two-Panel Movie Poster (measures 53" x 77 1/2") (Learn More) No Road Back, the 1957 Montgomery Tully English crime thriller ("A tigress of in crime in the night-club jungle!"; "-with the crimson stain of murder on a fortune in stolen gems!"; "Night-club crime ring ruled by queen of evil!"; "From the play by Falkland L. Cary and Philip Weathers") starring Margaret Rawlings, Eleanor Summerfield, Skip Homeier, Paul Carpenter, Patricia Dainton, Norman Wooland, Alfie Bass, and Sean Connery (very young and unbilled in this role!). Note that this was Connery's first real film role after having appeared as an extra several years before! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Renato Casaro Important Added Info: Note that, in a massive case of deceptive advertising, the distributors of this obscure 1957 movie re-released it in 1964 (after Sean Connery's great success as James Bond) as a Sean Connery starring spy thriller (when Connery had actually had a small part in the movie), and the Italian poster designers even had the nerve to put "007" on the poster! It was incredibly unfair to moviegoers in 1964, but it made for a great poster! Also note that this Italian one-panel measures 53" x 77 1/2" and is linenbacked. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some very minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had extra horizontal foldlines and creases along most of the folds. There was paper loss in the right crossfold at the middle of the poster and some paper loss in the foldlines in that area. There was small paper loss at some other crossfolds, and some tiny tears and tiny paper loss on some other foldlines. There were some creases, smudges, and tears around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see some signs of the restoration. Learn More about condition grades
