An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Gigi, the 1958 Vincente Minnelli (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) romantic musical comedy ("The First Lerner-Loewe Musical since 'My Fair Lady'"; "Based on the Novel by Colette"; "Screen Play and Lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner"; "Music by Frederick Loewe"; winner of the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Leslie Caron (in the title role as Gigi), Maurice Chevalier, Louis Jourdan, Hermione Gingold, Eva Gabor, Jacques Bergerac, and Isabel Jeans NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some very minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). Note that we gave this condition grade to a very few posters that were in pretty good condition prior to linenbacking, but which were not all that well linenbacked, and which could be fairly easily re-backed with only minor additional restoration. The poster had tears and small areas of paper loss in the white background area to the left of Caron's hair, extending slightly into the left side of her hair. There were pinholes, creases, and tears around the edges of the poster and some on the foldlines. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but in order to restore the above defects, the restorer had to use a fair amount of paint restoration in the solid white background areas (although it is not very noticeable from any distance away).
