Cobb, and Henry Silva. Note that this was originally going to be filmed in 1932 with Joel McCrea and Dolores Del Rio, but the project never got made. In the 1950s, Vincente Minnelli originally started making this movie with Pier Angeli and Edmund Purdom starring, but MGM chiefs hated the early footage, and cancelled the production. Mel Ferrer revived it for his wife Audrey Hepburn, and she turned down the lead role in "The Diary of Anne Frank" to make this. Sadly, it was a massive flop, losing around $2.5 million, a massive amount of money at that time! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Joseph Smith Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had a penny-sized area of paper loss at the top and bottom crossfolds, with slightly larger paper loss at the middle crossfold. It had some tiny bits of paper loss along parts of most folds and pinholes, tears, and paper loss around the edges. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to linenbacking. Given the poster's defects, the restorer did a pretty nice job, and the poster displays pretty well, but you can see signs of the restoration. Learn More about condition grades
