An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Christmas in Connecticut, the 1945 Peter Godfrey post-World War II mistaken identity food cooking newspaper journalism romantic holiday comedy ("From an Original Story by Aileen Hamilton"; about a female newspaper columnist who pretends to be a homemaker and who runs recipes provided by her friend, but then her publisher decides to have a returning war hero spend Christmas at her home, eating her delicious home cooked meals, when actually, she can't do any of that, and she puts on a massive deception to fool everybody!) starring Barbara Stanwyck, Dennis Morgan, Sydney Greenstreet, Reginald Gardiner, S.Z. Sakall, Robert Shayne, Frank Jenks, and Betty Alexander. Note that the IMDb says that this movie was released in England under the title of "Indiscretion", but we have seen a U.S. title card with that title. We wonder if Warner Bros. released it both ways (especially because it was a Christmas movie that oddly opened in August!). If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. Someone drew on the faces of the stars with an orange crayon (including an "X" on each of their cheeks, a circle on Morgan's forehead, and marks on Stanwyck's lips and her eyes). There was also small paper loss at the crossfolds and some tiny paper loss on parts of the folds, with pinholes around the edges. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to linenbacking. The person who backed the poster did the best they could, but you can still see signs of where the marks were on the stars' faces (see our super-sized image). Obviously, a restorer could perform additional restoration to the poster, either with or re-backing it, but bear this in mind before placing a bid on this poster. Learn More about condition grades
