It had some scuff marks in the background to the left of Cagney, with one extending into his hair. It had a tiny mark in Cagney's nose and in Sheridan's upper lip. There was a scuff mark in the background to the right of Sheridan's hair. Someone put pieces of tape on the back of the pinholes and taped a piece of paper to the back of the paper loss in the bottom right corner. They also performed slight touch up to the scuff marks on the front without backing it.
