An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Lifeboat, the classic 1943 Alfred Hitchcock (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) World War II (WWII) shipwreck survivor suspense melodrama ("Out of man's rawest emotions - comes the most amazing drama life ever staged!"; based on the story by John Steinbeck; set entirely on a lifeboat adrift on the Atlantic ocean, which has eight survivors from a ship torpedoed by a Nazi U-boat, and it also has a German sailor from the U-boat, but the other eight survivors don't know that!) starring Tallulah Bankhead, William Bendix, Walter Slezak, Mary Anderson, John Hodiak, Henry Hull, Heather Angel, Hume Cronyn, and Canada Lee. Note that Alfred Hitchcock was famous for having cameo roles in his movies, but because this movie had no other characters other than the lifeboat survivors, he could not appear in the usual way (but he included a scene where a floating newspaper is shown that has his picture on it)!

The poster had tears and areas of paper loss scattered down the vertical fold, with a lesser amount on the horizontal folds. There were pinholes, tears, and paper loss around the edges, with tears and paper loss in the "OA" of "LIFEBOAT" in the title, and small tears and paper loss in the right of the 20th Century-Fox logo, and two tiny areas of paper loss in the cheek and neck of the woman to the right of that. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed by a talented professional and displays really well. From any reasonable viewing distance, it looks great, and even from close up, the restoration is not very noticeable at all. Learn More about condition grades
