An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (27" x 41") (Learn More) Ocean's Eleven, the classic 1960 Lewis Milestone Las Vegas Nevada Rat Pack multi-million-dollar multi-casino hold-up gambling crime caper thriller ("That Big One!!"; "Nobody else would have dared it because nobody else would have the nerve!"; "You wouldn't call it a gang. Just Danny Ocean and his 11 pals - the night they blew all the lights in Las Vegas!..."; about 11 Army veterans joining together to rob five Las Vegas casinos at once!) starring Frank Sinatra (in the title role as Danny Ocean), Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford (the preceding were called "The Rat Pack" because they were real-life friends who socialized regularly), Angie Dickinson, Richard Conte, Cesar Romero, Patrice Wymore, Joey Bishop (who surprisingly was given very low billing, under that of Patrice Wymore!), Akim Tamiroff, Henry Silva, and "Guest Stars" Red Skelton, George Raft, and Ilka Chase. Note that several Las Vegas casinos agreed to allow filming within their casinos, and without that, the movie could never have been made for a reasonable price. This might seem odd, given that the premise of the movie was a massive robbery of the casinos, but it would be next to impossible to accomplish in real life, because Las Vegas is in the middle of a giant desert, so even if such a robbery could be successful, how would the perpetrators escape with the money?

This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some 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!). The poster had many creases, smudges, tears, and stains around the edges of the poster, across the left half of the bottom foldline, and across much of the bottom credits area. Overall, the image area of the poster (including the big credits underneath the image and the title) was in pretty good condition prior to linenbacking, but the rest of the poster was in much lesser condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, and you don't really have a sense of most of the restoration in the bottom area of the poster, because mostly the white background was affected, and only a little bit of the writing and small images at the bottom were affected. I think most collectors would be happy to display this poster on their wall, but please do not bid on it unless you have carefully read the above, and can accept the restoration it has had!
