If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this half-sheet has an image of Kim Novak as she appeared in this movie. In 1961, she had shortened her hair to a completely different style, and when this movie was re-released that year, the half-sheet had a very similar image to that of this original half-sheet. So they changed her hairdo on the re-release poster that new shorter hairstyle, even though she did not wear it in the actual movie! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It had a 5" tear in the center of the right border that extended into the white background only. It had smaller tears scattered down the right border and some smudges and scuffs around the edges and in the white background areas. 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. 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.
