Turner. Note that this movie includes a romantic sequence where Valentino has a torrid love affair with a married woman, and there is a scene where they dance the tango together (which at the time was the "forbidden dance"), and it was this scene which made him a major romantic star!

Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster was folded down the center. It had many creases, stains, and pinholes around the edges, with a few tears. It had a horizontal crease in the middle of Valentino's face, going through his cheek and the top of his nose. It had tiny surface paper loss in the girl's cheek, with small paper loss in the chest of the man between the two stars, and some tiny bits of paper loss in the background between that man and the girl. There was a faint diagonal crease in the top right of the image, and some creases and scuffs scattered throughout the image. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. If I owned this great poster, I would immediately have it removed from the old linen and properly re-backed. After proper restoration, it will look great! Learn More about condition grades
