Note that this movie, Visconti's first, predated the neorealistic classics, "Open City" and "The Bicycle Thief", and was very influential in the Italian cinema that arose during the end of the Italian participation at the end of World War II.

Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed. You can see signs of the restoration of the above defects from close up, but from any reasonable viewing distance, they are not very distracting at all. Learn More about condition grades
