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!

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had darkened somewhat. It had a 1/4" x 1" area of paper loss in the middle of the image, starting in the left of Simon's eye and down into her cheek. There were other tiny areas of paper loss above and below that area, with some tiny tears (this was between the middle and bottom crossfolds). There was a 1 1/2" x 2" oval area of paper loss in the right of the middle horizontal fold, in the shoulder of the old lady and in her cheek and hair. There were some tears and tiny areas of paper loss on parts of other foldlines and many pinholes and small tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
