Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Style A Three-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 41" x 81") (Learn More) The Ramparts We Watch, the 1940 Louis De Rochemont patriotic 'March of Time' documentary ("SEE YOURSELF in this story of your nation's destiny"; "Sub Sinks Lusitania"; "A Saga of Modern America"; "Life, Time and The March of Time presents The Ramparts We Watch"; "A new kind of full length feature picture"; "We hope that from The Ramparts We Watch the American people may gather something - perhaps much - that shall strengthen and sustain their convictions, their faith, and their hopes during the perilous and trying days ahead.") starring John Adair, John Summers, Andrea King, Julia Kent, and Ellen Prescott. Note that The March of Time people claim that this documentary contained footage that was seized from a Nazi ship en route to South America, and that it had been shown to "Norway, Denmark, Holland, and Belgium to scare them into making way for his Blitzkrieg". They promoted it by saying "Can Hitler cast his shadow over our liberty", adding "he thinks he can... see his own film". 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 three-sheet was printed in 2 sections. Also note 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: fine. The poster was in excellent condition prior to linenbacking (it is hard to believe it is over 60 years old) and it looks wonderful!. 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.
