An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Style A Autographed One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) The Magnificent Fraud, the 1939 Robert Florey mistaken identity Latin America romantic crime melodrama ("Screen Play by Gilbert Gabriel and Walter Ferris"; "Adapted from a Story by Charles G. Booth"; about a con man who hires a character actor to pretend to be the recently deceased dictator of a Latin American country so he can cheat people out of money) starring Akim Tamiroff, Lloyd Nolan, Mary Boland, Patricia Morison, George Zucco, and Ralph Forbes NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this one-sheet has been personally autographed (signed) by Patricia Morison! Condition: fair to good. This poster has been linenbacked, but it was not very well done, either because the restorer did not do a very good job, or because the years since it has been linenbacked have not been kind to the poster. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. Generally, it had pretty large areas of paper loss at the top and middle crossfolds, and creases, scuffs, and tears in between the top and bottom crossfolds, and pinholes in the corners. The poster was not that well backed, because you can see signs of the above general defects and the restoration of the defects (in some cases, as should be immediately evident in our image, the linenbacker did no restoration to some of the defects). I would think few collectors would want to display it as it is, without someone performing some additional restoration. Certainly, a talented restorer could perform additional restoration (either with or without re-backing the poster), but it might be fairly expensive to have this done, so bear that in mind before you place a bid.
