Auction History Result 5p0222 LOVING YOU linen 1sh 1957 Elvis Presley playing guitar, Lizabeth Scott & Dolores Hart! Date Sold 9/1/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Loving You, the 1957 Hal Kanter rock 'n' roll (rock and roll) musical ("From a story by Mary Agnes Thompson"; loosely based on Elvis' own life, about a gas station attendant who is discovered by a publicist and a country western musician who then promote him into a rock 'n' roll star) starring Elvis Presley, Lizabeth Scott, Wendell Corey, James Gleason, Ralph Dumke, Paul Smith, Dolores Hart, Ken Becker, and Jana Lund. Note that producer Hal Wallis intended this to be the first Elvis film. However, six months before the start of production, Wallis loaned Elvis to 20th Century Fox for the 1956 film "Love Me Tender". Also, note that Elvis' parents made a cameo appearance in the movie as audience members in a theater. After his mother died, Elvis refused to ever watch the movie again, saying it was too sad for him to see his mother! Also note that this was the second of four movies that Elvis made before he went into the Army in 1958. He made no movies in 1959, and the public so wanted to see one that Paramount gave this movie and King Creole a full scale double-bill re-release just one and two years after they were made, with new posters for each, and the tagline "Elvis Presley back on the screen for the first time in a year"!

It appears that the poster was displayed behind some sort of chicken wire, because it has a grid of 1" squares scattered throughout the entire poster (where the part that was exposed to the greater light faded much differently than the part that was blocked by the wire). It also had small paper loss at the crossfolds and some small tears and tiny areas of paper loss on parts of some folds, and pinholes and tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in poor to fair condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but the restorer did not attempt to address the "chicken wire fading" described above, and it is quite noticeable, so please bear this in mind and look at our super-sized image before bidding on this poster.
