Important Added Info: Note that this movie was re-released by MGM in both 1948 and 1954, and it seems that the same plates were used for the two re-releases. But the 1948 re-release poster had NSS information, and the 1954 posters do not, so we believe this poster to be from 1954. Also note that the poster says "A METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER MASTERPIECE REPRINT" at middle left. This was a terminology used by MGM at this time for some re-releases, and it has caused some collectors to be confused! This poster is the original poster from the 1954 re-release of this movie, and is NOT a "reprint"! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Condition: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at some crossfolds and separation and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of some foldlines. There were two small areas of paper loss in the right blank border. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer linenbacked 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 any restorer could easily touch them up without re-backing the poster).
