And everybody's telling!"; "See you on Flamingo Road"; "Warner Bros.' Dramatic Triumph!"; "Based on a Play by Robert and Sally Wilder"; "New Warner Bros. Triumph!"; about a corrupt sheriff in a small town who runs it with an iron hand, and he has political plans for his deputy, but then a female carnival dancer shows up and starts a romance with the deputy, and the sheriff has her thrown in jail for prostitution, and that's only the start of this wildly entertaining movie!) starring Joan Crawford, Zachary Scott, Sydney Greenstreet (as the sheriff), David Brian, Gladys George, Virginia Huston, Fred Clark, Gertrude Michael, and M.A. Bogue (better known as Ish Kabibble!) 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: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thin paper backing, it can be sent rolled (however, it will be rolled with the image outward, because paperbacked posters should always be rolled that way, while linen posters are always rolled with the image inward), and it will likely need to be sent in a 6" tube, because rolling it more tightly might damage the poster.

Prior to paperbacking, the poster had tiny creases, scuffs, and tiny bits of surface paper loss on the folds. It had an extra horizontal fold 4" from the bottom of the poster. It had some small tears and creases around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. After the poster was backed, someone made the mistake of rolling it with the image in, and that had the effect of "bringing back" the original folds, both in the poster and in the paper backing. It can be made to lay flat (and it will if framed), and storing it under weight would probably relax those folds, but bear this in mind before bidding on this poster.
