Cain; about a man who works for an insurance company who meets the wife of a rich man who seduces him into helping her kill her husband, but they have to make it look like an accident so that they can collect double on his life insurance policy!) starring Fred MacMurray (as Walter Neff), Barbara Stanwyck (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; as Phyllis Dietrichson), Edward G. Robinson (as Barton Keyes), Porter Hall, Jean Heather, Tom Powers, Byron Barr, Richard Gaines, John Philliber, and Fortunio Bonanova NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the middle and bottom crossfolds and a series of creases, tiny tears, and a few tiny areas of paper loss in most of the vertical foldline (fortunately, there was no paper loss in Stanwyck's figure). There were extra creases above and below the right half of the top and bottom horizontal foldlines. There were some creases in the background areas, pinholes in the corners, and some creases, smudges, and tiny tears in the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was backed on to a very thin linen backing, and the restoration was not the kind of first rate restoration commonly done today. While the poster could absolutely be displayed and enjoyed exactly as it is, if I owned the poster, I would likely have it re-backed and have slight additional restoration done to the above basically minor defects. After proper re-backing, this great poster would look fantastic, and there would be little paint restoration anywhere in the image! Learn More about condition grades
