Important Added Info: Note that this movie was re-released by MGM in both 1948 and 1954, and it seems that the same plates were used for the two re-releases. But the 1948 re-release poster had NSS information, and the 1954 posters do not, so we believe this poster to be from 1954. Also note that the poster says "A METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER MASTERPIECE REPRINT" at middle left. This was a terminology used by MGM at this time for some re-releases, and it has caused some collectors to be confused! This poster is an original poster from the 1954 re-release of this movie, and is NOT a "reprint"! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at several crossfolds and some smudges and tiny bits of surface paper loss on parts of several folds, with two small areas of paper loss in the right border. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
