An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Passage to Marseille, the 1944 Michael Curtiz France World War II (WWII) military prisoners-fighting-Nazis Devil's Island action melodrama (this is the extremely convoluted movie about French convicts escaping from Devil's Island to fight for Free France in World War II, with flashbacks within flashbacks within flashbacks; "From a Novel by Charles Nordhoff & James Norman Hall", the authors of "Mutiny on the Bounty") starring Humphrey Bogart, Claude Rains, Michele Morgan, Philip Dorn, Sydney Greenstreet, Helmut Dantine, Peter Lorre, and George Tobias NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had small holes at the crossfolds and a hole the size of the head of a pencil eraser in Bogart's cheek by his eye, and a smaller hole in the bridge of Bogart's nose. There were extra creases and small tears down much of the vertical foldline and a lesser amount on the other foldlines. There were pinholes, creases, and tears around the edges of the poster. The poster was fairly well linenbacked, but you can see signs of the restoration, even from a distance away. The person who linenbacked the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges.
