An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Style B One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Johnny O'Clock, the 1947 Robert Rossen romantic gambling crime film noir ("Johnny was smart... Too smart to tangle with women!"; "Johnny's no good... but that's how women want him!"; "Johnny's go a date with a killer"; "Johnny's dangerous... but that's how women like him!"; about a police inspector who thinks he has found a man guilty of murder, and he does all he can to "break" him, but he is actually not guilty) starring Dick Powell (in the title role as Johnny O'Clock), Evelyn Keyes, Lee J. Cobb, Ellen Drew, Nina Foch, Thomas Gomez (billed as "S. Thomas Gomez"), and John Kellogg NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: fair to good. This poster has been linenbacked, but it was not very well done, either because the restorer did not do a very good job, or because the years since it has been linenbacked have not been kind to the poster. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. Generally, it had a significant area of paper loss at the bottom crossfold and small paper loss at the other two crossfolds, with many creases and tears down the vertical fold and across the bottom foldline. There were some other creases and tears scattered in the image, and the entire poster had darkened somewhat. The poster was not that well backed, because you can see signs of the above general defects and the restoration of the defects (in some cases, as should be immediately evident in our image, the linenbacker did no restoration to some of the defects). I would think few collectors would want to display it as it is, without someone performing some additional restoration. Certainly, a talented restorer could perform additional restoration (either with or without re-backing the poster), but it might be fairly expensive to have this done, so bear that in mind before you place a bid.
