An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Desert Fury, the 1947 Lewis Allen romantic love triangle gambling crime film noir ("Two men wanted her love... The third wanted her life!"; "'I got a memory for faces... Killers' faces. Get away from my girl... And get going!'"; "A love story of today... in a setting as old as time!"; "Screenplay by Robert Rossen"; produced by Hal Wallis; "In Technicolor") starring Lizabeth Scott, John Hodiak, Burt Lancaster (technically this was his first role, but it was released after The Killers made him a star in 1946), Mary Astor, Wendell Corey (in his first movie role!), and Kristine Miller NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good. This poster has been linenbacked, but it was not very well done, likely both because the restorer did not do a good job at all, and because the years since it has been linenbacked have not been kind to the poster. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. Generally, it had small paper loss at the crossfolds and creases and scuffs on parts of some foldlines. There were smudges and tiny stains scattered through the poster with pinholes and areas of paper loss around the edges. There were tears in Lancaster's cheek and below his eye, and someone put a 2" x 3" piece of paper tape on the back of that area, and it slightly bled through to the front, but it is really not that noticeable. The poster was not well backed at all, because you can still see some or all of the defects generally described above (in some cases, as should be immediately evident in our image, the linenbacker did no restoration to some of the defects), and if there was restoration of the above defects, it was not done very well. 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.
