Auction History Result 7w002 ALL MY SONS 1sh '48 art of Burt Lancaster choking Edward G. Robinson & kissing pretty girl! Date Sold 10/15/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) All My Sons, the 1948 Irving Reis post World War II (WWII) dysfunctional family crime melodrama ("New York Critics' Award Play... Now a prize motion picture"; "Only the screen could make it greater!"; "New York's Critic's Award Play becomes the screen's prize motion picture!"; "From the play by Arthur Miller"; about a son who discovers his father cut corners in his business during World War II and cost the lives of many Americans) starring Edward G. Robinson (reprising his Broadway role), Burt Lancaster, Mady Christians, Howard Duff, Louisa Horton, Frank Conroy, Arlene Francis, Lloyd Gough, and Harry Morgan. Normally, I am willing to "suspend disbelief" when it comes to casting very different people as close relations, but it struck me as REALLY odd that big tough Burt Lancaster was cast as the son of small Edward G. Robinson! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. Condition: fair. This poster has been paperbacked, but it was not very well done, likely both because the restorer did not do a good job at all, and because the years since it has been paperbacked have not been kind to the poster. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to paperbacking. Generally, it had paper loss in the top left corner and at the crossfolds, and small paper loss around the edges of the poster. The poster was not well backed at all, because you can still see some or all of the defects generally described above (in some cases, as should be immediately evident in our image, the paperbacker did no restoration to some of the defects), and if there was restoration of the above defects, it was not done very well. Certainly, a talented restorer could perform additional restoration (either with or without re-backing the poster), but it might be fairly expensive to have this done, so bear that in mind before you place a bid.
