Auction History Result f280 BIG SHOT linen insert movie poster '42 great Bogart w/gun image! Date Sold 4/3/2007Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36") (Learn More) The Big Shot, the 1942 Lewis Seiler crime film noir ("'The Big Shot' Returns! Up from the gutter to make Gangland shudder!"; "Humphrey Bogart as the last of the Racket Barons.... The Big Shot of 'em all! The saga of the rise and fall of a gang lord and his lady!"; about a criminal who is a "two time loser", and his crooked lawyer wants him to take part in a robbery, but he knows getting caught would mean life in prison, so he refuses, but he ends up framed for the crime anyway) starring Humphrey Bogart, Irene Manning, Richard Travis, Susan Peters, Stanley Ridges, and Joe Downing. Note that this was the last film in which Bogart played a gangster (a part he had played many times!). The following movie he made was "Casablanca", which of course made him a giant star and drastically changed the roles he was able to take (and he showed his great diversity as an actor)! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good to very good. The poster was never machine folded. It had some scattered horizontal creases (caused by rolling and unrolling). There were creases, smudges, pinholes, and tears around the edges of the poster. There were some smudges in the yellow of the letters at the center of the poster and smudges in the white background areas in the bottom half of the poster. There were tears in the lower left and right borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The person who linenbacked it pretty much just backed it "as is" (this is often referred to as the "European fashion"). I could imagine collectors framing this poster as is, as most of the defects are in the borders, and would not show very much after the poster is framed, and of course, the poster can have additional restoration performed (either with or without re-backing it).
