Parker"; the classic story of a soldier in India who gets a monkey's paw which can magically grant three wishes to its owner; the soldier tells an old couple about it, and the old man steals the paw and then makes three wishes, but each is granted in the worst possible way, and the old man realizes the old maxim about being careful what you wish for, but the movie has a "happy ending", where the old man awakens and discovers it was all a dream) starring Ivan F.

This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Condition: good. The poster was never folded. It had nail holes, creases, tears, and stains scattered throughout the poster, including in the stars' images, and there were creases, tears, and areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was well backed, but it required extensive restoration throughout, and you can see signs of the restoration (the restorer did not want to re-paint the faces at top or the body of the girl at bottom, and I agree with that decision, because that would have given the poster a re-painted look, so you can see signs of the defects and restoration in those areas, but I still think the poster will display well on the wall of its new owner, in spite of its restoration).
