An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Australian Daybill Movie Poster (measures approximately 13" x 30") (Learn More) 1984, the 1956 Michael Anderson English futuristic science fiction (sci-fi) dystopian future melodrama ("Sex Outlawed... In the terrifying world of tomorrow!"; "The Anti-Sex League is Watching You... Even in the intimacy of your own home!"; "Will ecstasy be a crime... In the terrifying world of the future? Amazing wonders of tomorrow! Nothing like it ever filmed! From the startling George Orwell novel!"; "Most horrifying glimpse into the future ever filmed! From the shocking George Orwell novel!"; "From the Book by George Orwell") starring Edmond O'Brien (as Winston Smith), Michael Redgrave (as O'Connor), Jan Sterling (as Julia), David Kossoff (as Charrington), Mervyn Johns (as Jones), Donald Pleasence (as Parsons), John Vernon (uncredited, as Big Brother), and Anthony Jacobs (uncredited, as the voice on the telescreen). Note that in 1949, when this prophetic novel was first written, and in 1956, when this first movie adaptation was made, it seemed the height of fantasy that people would have devices in their home where the public could see and hear everything they did. In today's world, that has come to be true, and most surprisingly, it is the public that have brought those devices into their home, in the form of their phones and computers!

This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the restorer did a good job, but you can see signs of the restoration from inches away (since most people look at posters framed on a wall from at least a few feet away, we don't feel this is a defect, but we feel it should be noted). OR you can't see the restoration because it was so well done, but the poster had fairly significant defects. OR no restoration was performed, but the defects are not major, and restoration could be done to the poster without re-backing it. See below for its pre-restoration defects (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). Poster had creases on some foldlines. It had a few very minor smudges and creases, as well as some minor border defects, including small paper loss at the right of the top foldline. The poster is well linenbacked, and the restored defects are not very noticeable. Learn More about condition grades
