Important Added Info: Note that the first release one-sheet for this classic movie is extremely rare and expensive. This re-release one-sheet was made just ten years after the original, and it has a different full-color image from that of the original, and it is itself rare (likely because not that many theaters showed this movie during that 1952 re-release)!

The poster had tiny paper loss at the bottom two crossfolds and minor wear on the foldlines. It had a pinhole in each corner. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Note that there are faint grey vertical lines in the top blank border, which appear to be a very minor printing defect. Note that the restorer left a tiny bit of excess linen around all four sides of the poster (they left a small border in order to protect the poster from handling damage, but they did not leave a larger border, to allow it to more easily fit in a frame).
