Carrol Naish, Scotty Beckett, and C. Henry Gordon NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good. Someone found two incomplete jumbo window cards from this classic movie. One was missing much of the top of the poster and the other was missing most of the bottom, but together they made up slightly more than a complete poster. Someone took the two pieces and trimmed them along a line running through the inset image, leaving slightly extra of each one (so there would be an overlap). They then taped the two pieces together with clear tape from the reverse. The card also had nail holes in the corners, a square of paper loss in the upper part of the right blank border, surface paper loss across the bottom of the title and the top of the credits area, and some paper loss around the edges of the poster. There is a nail hole between the "L" and "I" of "OLIVIA" and four tack holes in the shoulder of the image of Flynn riding a horse. While this poster has considerable defects, they are really the type that are very "restorable". A talented restorer could slightly trim the two parts of the card so that they match perfectly, and then paperback them together on to a new backing. After restoration of the above defects, the poster would look great, and the only place there would be much actual restoration would be across the bottom of the title and in the top of the credits.
