Show Boat, the 1951 George Sidney epic romantic riverboat gambling musical ("MGM'S Glorious New Show Boat"; "All Star!"; "It's New! Hundreds in the cast!"; "It's the 'Gone With the Wind' of musicals!"; "Spectacular in color by Technicolor!"; "Famed Jerome Kern - Oscar Hammerstein, II Musical"; "From the Immortal Musical Play 'Show Boat' by Jerome Kern & Oscar Hammerstein, II"; "Based on Edna Ferber's Novel") starring Kathryn Grayson, Ava Gardner, Howard Keel, Joe E. Brown, Marge & Gower Champion, Robert Sterling, Agnes Moorehead, and William Warfield (who sings "Old Man River", which had been sung by Paul Robeson in the 1936 version, which also starred Irene Dunne, Allan Jones, Charles Winninger, and Helen Morgan). There had been a 1929 version, but that was initially filmed as a silent, and then some music was hastily added just before it was released.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and minor wear on the foldlines. There were pinholes scattered in the image with paper loss in the corners. There was a tear in Gardner's teeth at upper left and a long diagonal tear at lower left. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
