An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More)

They All Come Out, the 1939 Jacques Tourneur prison crime pseudo-documentary melodrama ("Inside Federal Prisons! The Tough Side! The Human Side! The Inside Stuff! First Time Told! Produced by Privilege of U.S. Government! Four Men And A Girl! Their True Story in Blue Blazing Drama! Alcatraz! Atlanta! Alderson! Chillicothe! The Camera Reveals Them All! See What Really Happens! The Real Thing! Stark! Bold! Gripping! Human!"; "The daring adventures of an ex-convict and his misfortunes!"; "Original story and screen play by John C. Higgins") starring Rita Johnson, Tom Neal, Bernard Nedell, Edward Gargan, and John Gallaudet. Note that Jacques Tourneur had made a series of shorts for MGM, and this one was intended to be a short about how the U.S. penal system made great efforts to rehabilitate prisoners, sorting them by their likelihood of re-offending (keeping first time offenders together, etc). Louis B. Mayer saw this short and thought it had great potential as a B-movie, and he asked director Tourneur to add a "back story" to it that would run at the beginning, showing why the prisoners had been sent to prison in the first place! So the beginning of the movie seems like a standard crime movie of the 1930s, and then it sharply U-turns into a documentary about the penal system! This was Jacques Tourneur's first feature, and it led to a very successful career at RKO, working with Val Lewton!

Important Added Info:

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had paper loss at the top two crossfolds, with paper loss in the top quarter of the vertical fold, and creases and small paper loss on parts of the other folds. It had some smudges around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame.
