An Original 1946 (from the first release of this movie in Argentina) Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Argentinean Movie Poster (measures 29 1/2" x 43 1/4" [75 x 110 cm]) (Learn More) Velikiy Perelom (released in the U.S. as "The Turning Point"), the 1945 Fridrikh Ermler Russian World War II (WWII) military melodrama (about the turning point in the war between the Russians and the Nazis, where the Russians gained information about the Nazi plans, and they were able to weaken them with advance attacks, but it was still unclear who would win the decisive battle) starring Mikhail Derzhavin, Pyotr Andriyevsky, Yuri Tolubeyev, Andrei Abrikosov, and Aleksandr Zrazhevsky. Note that this movie received a prize at the first Cannes Film Festival for Best Script, and the crew was awarded the "Stalin Prize" when it was made in 1945. It was made when the U.S. was still allies with Russia during World War II, and many pro-Russian movies were released in the U.S., including this one. Just a short time later, the Russians and the U.S. would become bitter enemies, and there were no more movies that were pro-Russian! Artist: Gerasimovich Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this Argentinean poster, and that was 9 years ago (and the ONLY movie paper item from this Russian World War II movie we have ever auctioned). That poster has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still the only movie paper item from this movie we have ever auctioned! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had small paper loss at the top crossfold and minor wear on the foldlines. The poster had a pinhole in each blank corner, with small paper loss by two of the pinholes. The entire poster had darkened. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not very distracting (and a talented restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster).
