An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Style B Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) The Lady from Shanghai, the 1947 Orson Welles Asian China romantic crime film noir ("'Do all rich women play games like this?'"; "'I told you... You know nothing about wickedness.'"; "I didn't want money... she knew that when I went to work for her!"; "Soon everyone will know the Lady from Shanghai - Be sure to meet her!"; "Exciting story of a reckless & notorious woman of the world!"; "Story of a reckless woman!"; "Screenplay and Production by Orson Welles"; about an ordinary seaman who sees a beautiful woman on a yacht and gets a job on it so he can be near her, and he ends up involved in a complicated murder plot) starring Rita Hayworth, Orson Welles, Everett Sloane, Glenn Anders, Ted de Corsia, and Evelyn Ellis. Note that director/star Orson Welles was married to Rita Hayworth, and he co-wrote this screenplay as a way for him to star opposite her! Also note that this movie was originally filmed in 1946, but it was not released in the U.S. at that time. It was finally released in France in December 1947, and at that time, U.S. posters were printed with 1947 NSS numbers, but it did not finally open in the U.S. until 1948!

Important Added Info: Note that oddly, the half-sheet posters from this Rita Hayworth/Orson Welles movie are far more rare than all the other sizes! We have previously auctioned all the different sizes of posters from this movie (including three-sheets and six-sheets!), but we had never auctioned a half-sheet (either style) until we were consigned the style A half-sheet in June 2017, when a paperbacked example sold for $785, and we were consigned a style B half-sheet in December 2017, when that example sold for $925. Now we have been consigned a second example of the style B half-sheet (and its image is completely different from that of the style A half-sheet)! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It had smudges, creases, and tears around the edges, with a few smudges and scuffs in the image. 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
