Note that director Clouzot's previous movie, The Raven, in 1943, had the unusual distinction of being banned by BOTH the French and the Nazis, and that resulted in him taking a 4 year break, and this was his next movie!

What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster originally had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off (this is commonly done with Belgian posters, similar to how the blank top is trimmed off of U.S. window cards). The poster also had a few tiny bits of paper loss and wear on the folds and some stains and tiny paper loss in the top border, where the top was trimmed, and small tears in the rest of the borders. 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
