This was the first (and only) adult movie to win a Best Picture Oscar. Dustin Hoffman not winning the Best Actor Academy Award is certainly the biggest mistake in the history of the Academy Awards! 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 when this movie was first released, it had an "X" rating. But because many theaters refuse to show an "X" rated movie (simply because of the rating itself), the movie was very slightly re-cut and given an "R" rating. The poster offered here is from the very first "X rated" release! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and fine surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines (typical of high-gloss posters of this period). It had an 8" diagonal tear starting in the top center of the poster and running through Voight's hat and the left edge of his face, and ending in his shoulder. There were scuffs in the black background at the bottom of the poster, and pinholes in the corners. 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. Learn More about condition grades
