An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Style A Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More)

The Curse of the Cat People, the 1944 Robert Wise & Gunter von Fritsch feline fantasy horror thriller ("Strange, Forbidding, Thrilling -"; "The black menace creeps again!"; "- Slinking into the heart of a little girl who could not see the evil behind the smiling lips that could snarl, and feline fingers that could rip young flesh to shreds!"; "The beast-woman strikes!"; "Sensational return of the Killer-Cat-Woman!"; "Ready to kiss or claw to shreds - the brooding beauty who changed into a killer-leopard!... Strange, weird thrills that you'll never forget!"; produced by Val Lewton) starring Simone Simon, Kent Smith, Jane Randolph, Ann Carter, Elizabeth Russell, Eve March, Julia Dean, Erford Gage, and Lancelot Victor Edward Pinard (billed as "Sir Lancelot"). Note that this movie has the same lead actors as "Cat People", but is in no way a sequel, but the studio insisted on making it sound like one, in order to try to trick people into thinking it was!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that half-sheets on this classic Val Lewton movie are far more rare than the one-sheets or inserts, for unknown reasons. It is also interesting that this style A half-sheet (which we have never auctioned before) has a completely different image from that of the title card!

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfold and minor wear on the foldlines. There was paper loss in the top left blank corner and a few faint smudges around the edges. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
