The Face Behind the Mask, the 1941 Robert Florey romantic crime thriller ("What weird madness turned an ordinary man into a monstrous cold-blooded killer?"; "Is this the face that caused a thousand crimes?"; "Weird drama!"; "Why did a simple, ordinary man... Become the underworld's phantom terror?"; "What terror lurks behind this mask? What dark deeds are being hatched? What strange vengeance is brewing?"; about a European immigrant who is disfigured in a fire, and turns to crime, because everybody shuns him) starring Peter Lorre, Evelyn Keyes, Don Beddoe, George E. Stone, and John Tyrrell

Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!).

The poster had tiny paper loss at each crossfold and tiny paper loss across the middle of the center foldline. Otherwise, the poster only had very minor fold and border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, and displays well! Note that the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster.
