Now bring a pounding new temp to screen entertainment!"; "Screen Play by Raymond Chandler and Czenzi Ormonde"; based on the novel by Patricia Highsmith; about a man who meets a somewhat unbalanced man on a train, and they fantasize about how each has a person that makes their life miserable, and the unbalanced man says that they could each kill the other's problem, and would never get caught!) starring Farley Granger, Ruth Roman, Robert Walker, Leo G. Carroll, Patricia Hitchcock, Kasey Rogers, and Marion Lorne NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Grinsson Condition: good. The poster had creases and tears on parts of some foldlines and a 10" horizontal tear near the exact center of the poster in the middle of the front of the train, with tiny paper loss in the middle of the tear. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was not very well backed, and the poster is "lifting" from the linen in many places, and it appears that the small paper loss in the tear at the center of the poster occurred after it was linenbacked. If I owned this poster, I would surely either attempt to have a restorer re-glue and re-touch up the poster on its current linen, or have it re-backed completely. Learn More about condition grades
