An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Style A One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) The Narrow Margin, the classic 1952 Richard Fleischer Chicago Illinois Los Angeles California mistaken identity crime film noir ("A fortune if they seal her lips!... A bullet if they fail!"; "Death Rides The Night As Killers Stalk Mystery Girl!"; "Grim 'case history' reality in suspense-packed drama aboard the Golden State Limited- turned into a train of terror by the Syndicate's avenging gunmen!"; "Her evidence can rock gangland... And they know it!"; "Her secret can rock gangland. If she lives to tell it!"; one of the best low-budget film noirs ever made!; about a policeman escorting an important female witness on a train so she can testify against mobsters, who are also on the train, trying to kill her) starring Charles McGraw, Marie Windsor, Jacqueline White, Gordon Gebert, Queenie Leonard, David Clarke, Peter Virgo, and Paul Maxey. Note that this movie is rightly considered one of the very best of the lower budget film noir movies, even though it was made near the end of the cycle, especially because it had a great "twist ending", and top performances by B-movie stars!

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 surface paper loss and tiny creases and tears on parts of some foldlines, and staining and creases down the right side of the poster. 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.
