An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Old Acquaintance, the 1943 Vincent Sherman romantic love triangle best friends melodrama ("'I know what every woman expects from love ... And What She Accepts If She Is Wise!'"; "There are certain things one just doesn't do! But I Did"; "From the Stage Play by John Van Druten"; about a pair of female childhood best friends who help each other professionally, but after a long time, one of the husbands chases after the other woman, causing much tension in their relationship) starring Bette Davis, Miriam Hopkins, Gig Young, John Loder, Dolores Moran, Philip Reed, and Roscoe Karns. Note that this movie was re-made in 1981 as "Rich and Famous". Note that Gig Young had started making movies in 1940 under his given name of "Byron Barr", but he had little success and was mostly uncredited. In 1942, he played a character called "Gig Young" in "The Gay Sisters", and he changed his name to his character's name, and he started having much greater success, playing young romantic leads (and over the next couple of decades, he continued to play romantic parts, often lecherous older men!). 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: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss scattered in the vertical fold, and a lesser amount of wear on the horizontal folds. It had some pinholes and tape stains in the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but at some point after it was backed, it acquired some tiny bits of surface paper loss in the top center, in Davis' forehead (any restorer could repair those tiny bits without re-backing the poster).
