Note that during filming, Montgomery Clift was in a horrific car accident after leaving Elizabeth Taylor's house one evening (she and Rock Hudson reportedly pulled him from the wreck, and Taylor saved him from choking on his own teeth!). Sadly, despite several surgeries to his face, Clift's injuries were still visible, and his health deteriorated after the crash. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: John Groth & Walter M. Baumhofer Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned ANY of these four door panels! Door panels from the 1950s are generally extremely rare, and they were often made in sets of six. Therefore, we would think that there might have originally been a set of six door panels for this movie, but it is also quite possible that there were only four, and that we are auctioning all that were made. If anyone knows more one way or the other, please e-mail us and we will post it here. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Each of the door panels had a few creases and scuffs scattered throughout. Overall, the posters were in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The door panels were well backed, and this incredibly rare set will display wonderfully on the new owner's wall!
