Artist: Howard Terpning Important Added Info: Note that this classic movie only had a short play date in December of 1968, so that it could qualify for the 1968 Academy Awards (held in the spring of 1969). Almost all known U.S. posters from this movie are from the "post-Academy Award release" in 1969, which prominently references the Best Picture Academy Award won by the movie. The 1968 "pre-Awards" one-sheet is extremely rare. We have only auctioned it three times before (and only two in the last 11 years), and the last one sold for $375! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had fine surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines (typical of high-gloss posters of this period). Overall, the poster was in 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
