An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Don't Knock the Twist, the 1962 Oscar Rudolph rock 'n' roll (rock and roll) musical teen dance melodrama ("Twist along with Chubby Checker, singin' and dancin' in a big new role!"; "Written by James B. Gordon") starring Chubby Checker ("Mr. Twist Himself"; "in his first dramatic role!"), Lang Jeffries, Mari Blanchard, Georgine Darcy, and featuring Gene Chandler ("The Duke of Earl"), The Carroll Brothers, Linda Scott, The Dovells, and Vic Dana NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good. This poster was linenbacked, but it was either NOT linenbacked by a very talented restorer, OR it was linenbacked many years ago, and has received rough handling over the years, OR it had fairly significant defects that were not well restored. If it was restored, you can clearly see signs of the restoration even from a distance. This is a poster that would surely benefit from additional professional restoration. 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!). The poster had many water stains around the edges of the image and down the right 1/3 of the image. There were pinholes in the corners and creases, tears, and areas of paper loss in the top and bottom borders. Someone just mounted this poster on to a thin linen with no real attempt at restoration of its many minor defects. If I owned this poster, I would have it re-backed. After proper linenbacking, the poster would look great! Learn More about condition grades
