Original Vintage Theatrical Belgian Linenbacked Movie Poster (measures 15" x 22 1/4") (Learn More) John O'Hara's BUtterfield 8 (the title IS "BUtterfield 8", not "Butterfield 8", because phone numbers back then had the first two letters capitalized, because those were the ones you dialed!), the 1960 Daniel Mann Manhattan New York City call girl romantic love triangle prostitution melodrama ("The most desirable woman in town and the easiest to find... Just call... BUtterfield 8"; "This is Liggett... who called Gloria whenever his wife was away!"; "This is Steve... who knew that no one man owned Gloria!"; "The glamor girl who wakes up ashamed!"; "John O'Hara's Butterfield 8 ...the best seller that tells Gloria's story ...from first man to last"; "Screen Play by Charles Schnee and John Michael Hayes") starring Elizabeth Taylor (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Laurence Harvey, Eddie Fisher (in his final movie role), Dina Merrill, Mildred Dunnock, Betty Field, Jeffrey Lynn, Kay Medford, and Susan Oliver 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: This poster has been professionally linenbacked. It now looks great, and most dealers would describe it as "fine (or mint) on linen". We have noted the defects that were restored below (and feel everyone should always do this!). Many collectors would not be aware of the restoration this poster has had unless it was specifically shown to them! Condition: very good to fine. The top blank area was tattered and new paper was carefully laid over it (99% of collectors would never realize this). There are minor tears and pinholes around the edges of the poster that were restored well.. Most of the linenbacked posters we sell were restored by the finest professionals. An expertly linenbacked poster will often appear "mint", as its defects have been made to "vanish". We are the only seller we are aware of who always tries to describe the condition of the poster prior to being linenbacked, so you are fully aware of what restoration was performed.
