If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that after Hepburn's huge success in MY FAIR LADY, Paramount re-released FUNNY FACE with a similar ad campaign to the original, but the posters had a pink background. None of the items give a re-release date, but two tell-tale signs of the re-release are that it is identified on some of the advertising as "A Paramount All Time Greatest Production!", and that a tagline on some of the advertising includes the phrase "...she's the fairest lady of all!", a direct reference to MY FAIR LADY. Sometimes, items from this undated re-release have been unknowingly sold as being from the original 1957 release, because they are undated and from Paramount, the original releasing studio.

The poster had creases, tears, and some tiny areas of paper loss in the vertical foldline and in the right half of the middle foldline, with a much lesser amount on the other folds. There were some creases and tears in the blank borders. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the restoration of the above defects, even from a distance. Learn More about condition grades
