An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (released outside the U.S. as "A Yankee in King Arthur's Court"; apparently they felt non-U.S. people would not know where Connecticut was!), the 1949 Tay Garnett medieval time travel science fiction fantasy musical comedy ("His newest, greatest romantic musical with Bing singing hit after hit!"; "with New Bing Song Hits!"; "From the Famous Classic by Mark Twain", which was written in 1889) starring Bing Crosby, Rhonda Fleming, William Bendix, Cedric Hardwicke (billed as "Sir Cedric Hardwicke"), Murvyn Vye, Virginia Field, and Henry Wilcoxon. Note that this was somewhat of a remake of the 1931 non-musical Will Rogers movie, but that was simply called "A Connecticut Yankee". 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: good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and fairly minor fold wear. It had pinholes, tape stains, and small paper loss in the corners and a few tears and stains in the rest of the borders. Overall, the poster was in 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. Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame.
