An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Don't Bother to Knock, the 1952 Roy Baker mental illness psychological thriller ("You've never met her type before... ...a wicked sensation as the lonely girl in Room 809!"; "Based on a novel by Charlotte Armstrong"; about a mentally unstable beautiful woman, who has a major breakdown in a hotel; this movie showed that Marilyn had real acting ability, and it seems likely that she might have had a long, successful career in her later years, had she lived) starring Richard Widmark, Marilyn Monroe, Anne Bancroft (in her first movie role!), Donna Corcoran, Jeanne Cagney, Lurene Tuttle, Elisha Cook Jr., Jim Backus, Verna Felton, Willis B. Bouchey, and Don Beddoe NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster was displayed and had faded. The red of the dress was originally much more red, and Monroe's skin had more "pink" to it. It is much more evident when the poster is compared to an example that did not fade. Also, the poster had paper loss at the middle crossfold and small paper loss at the top and bottom crossfolds, with some tears and areas of paper loss on the vertical fold, and a lesser amount on the horizontal folds. It had pinholes, tears, and paper loss around the edges. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to linenbacking (in strong part because of the fading). The poster was nicely backed, and the above defects were well restored, but the restorer did not address the fading, because that would have required adding a lot of paint to the poster. The poster displays pretty well (see our image), but the fading is important, so please bear that in mind before placing a bid on this poster. Learn More about condition grades
