An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Great Lie, the 1941 Edmund Goulding romantic love triangle adultery melodrama ("There are some things a woman has to lie about ...to a man!"; "'Sometimes there's a terrible penalty for telling the truth...'"; "From a novel by Polan Banks"; about a woman who marries, but her husband quickly dies in a plane crash, and then she finds out that his ex-girlfriend is pregnant with his child!) starring Bette Davis ("is better than in 'The Old Maid' in her new triumph"), George Brent, Mary Astor (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Lucile Watson, and Hattie McDaniel NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster had an extra vertical foldline 1" to the left of the regular vertical fold and some small tears and tiny areas of paper loss in the bottom half of the vertical foldline and in the bottom horizontal fold, with some discoloration and smudges along parts of some foldlines. There were many pinholes in the corners and someone put a piece of paper tape over the pinholes in the top right corner. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was not well backed at all, by someone who did not know what they were doing, and there is bubbling in some areas where it was improperly glued down. They also did no restoration, not even removing the tape in the top right corner. If I owned this poster, I would certainly have a talented restorer remove it from the backing and properly linenback it and restore it, and afterward it would look pretty nice. But bear this added expense in mind before placing a bid on this poster. Learn More about condition grades
