Important Added Info: Note that the domestic release of this movie prior to the Academy Awards was handled by Embassy Pictures (the non-U.S. release was handled by United Artists). There are two styles of pre-Awards one-sheets that each have a large blank section at the top (we strongly suspect that the producers were certain the movie would win multiple Academy Awards, and they left that area so they could quickly print new posters referencing the Academy Awards right after the ceremony). But in addition to those pre-Awards one-sheets with large image areas, Embassy also made this reviews one-sheet, prior to the Academy Awards, but after Mike Nichols had won the New York Film Critics Best Director award, and after the first critics had seen the movie, and the poster references that. Since the Film Critic Awards were held in January and the Oscars were held at the start of April, this poster could only have been used during that brief time. This is an extremely rare poster, far more rare than the other pre-awards one-sheets for this movie. We have only auctioned three examples of this poster, and only one in the past 16 years, and that one was in terrible condition. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and very minor fold and border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
