An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Rafael Sabatini's Scaramouche, the 1952 George Sidney swashbuckling romantic adventure thriller ("MGM's Spectacular Technicolor Masterpiece!"; "The big word in entertainment is Scaramouche pronounce adventure!"; "The mighty novel of love, laughter, adventure, even mightier on the screen!"; "Only MGM... Producer of 'Quo Vadis' ...could do it!"; "The Company that made "Quo Vadis" brings the world another spectacular romantic triumph!"; "With laughter on his lips and a sword in his hand, he plunged into the most perilous exploits of a romantic era!"; "He flung a challenge into the face of fate when he kissed the lips of enchanting women who conspired against him!"; "Based on the novel by Rafael Sabatini") starring Stewart Granger, Eleanor Parker, Janet Leigh, Mel Ferrer, Henry Wilcoxon, Nina Foch, Lewis Stone (in one of his final roles; who played a different role in the earlier 1923 Scaramouche!), Richard Anderson, Robert Coote, and Henry Corden (uncredited in the title role as Scaramouche). Note that the title refers to an Italian character that was a clown who pretended to be a hero in stage plays, and the lead character in this movie sort of plays that role at one point.

This poster has been linenbacked, but it was not very well done, either because the restorer did not do a very good job, or because the years since it has been linenbacked have not been kind to the poster. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. Generally, it had pinholes, creases, tears, and areas of paper loss around the edges, and creases, tears, and tiny paper loss along the foldlines. The poster was not that well backed, because you can see signs of the above general defects and the restoration of the defects (in some cases, as should be immediately evident in our image, the linenbacker did no restoration to some of the defects). I would think few collectors would want to display it as it is, without someone performing some additional restoration. Certainly, a talented restorer could perform additional restoration (either with or without re-backing the poster), but it might be fairly expensive to have this done, so bear that in mind before you place a bid.
