An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked British Quad Movie Poster (BQ; Quad Crown; measures 30" x 40" [76 x 102 cm]) (Learn More)

The Hitch-Hiker, the 1953 Ida Lupino serial killer crime film noir ("Who'll be his next victim... You?"; "-there's Death in his upraised Thumb!"; "Screenplay by Collier Young and Ida Lupino"; based on a true story, about two men who go fishing and pick up a hitchhiker on the way, but he turns out to be a crazy psychopathic killer, and he plays a bizarre game of cat and mouse with them) starring Frank Lovejoy, Edmond O'Brien, William Talman, Jose Torvay, and Sam Hayes. Note that nowadays the word "hitchhiker" is written as a single word, but back in 1953, it was hyphenated, so that is how the title was written on the posters and in the movie itself.

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was folded in half an extra time. It had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some tiny bits of paper loss on parts of some foldlines. It had some pinholes around the edges and some scuffs scattered in the solid colored areas. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
