Important Added Info: Note that it has been established that the leg in the iconic image on this poster belongs to Linda Gray (who later went on to fame in TV's "Dallas"), and not Anne Bancroft. However, as it is clearly intended to be thought of as Bancroft's leg (Gray was an unbilled body double, or more accurately, "leg double"), we are referring to it as such. Condition: very good. 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 small paper loss at the top and bottom crossfolds. There were creases, smudges, and a few small tears on some foldlines. There were a few tears and small areas of paper loss in the borders. There were smudges and stains in the lower right of the credits area in the words "HENRY" and "TURMAN" and in the white area beneath those words. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the restoration along the folds and in the white background areas. Learn More about condition grades
