Auction History Result 4p432 UNDERCURRENT linen 1sh '46 Katharine Hepburn wonders where Robert Taylor's brother is! Date Sold 4/7/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Undercurrent, the 1946 Vincente Minnelli romantic family relationship crime film noir ("Please don't tell the terrific ending!"; "Based on a story by Thelma Strabel"; about a woman who impulsively marries a man, and then discovers he has a brother who has mysteriously vanished, and she comes to suspect that he has murdered the missing brother) starring Katharine Hepburn ("Never so exciting!"), Robert Taylor ("He's back! And it's his greatest role!"), Robert Mitchum, Edmund Gwenn, Marjorie Main, Jayne Meadows (in her first movie role!; on some stills she is referred to as "Jayne Cotter"), Clinton Sundberg, and Dan Tobin. Note that the tagline after Robert Taylor's credit about him being "back" refers to this being his first movie after he finished his military service during World War II. Also note that Lorraine Day had agreed to to appear in the movie "Keep Your Powder Dry" on the condition that she star in this movie, but then MGM reneged on the deal, and Day asked to be released from her contract and MGM obliged. Finally, note that there was a long-standing story that Katharine Hepburn felt Mitchum was a poor actor who only got by on his looks, and that she told him so to his face, but when Mitchum appeared on the Dick Cavett TV show, he said that this was a complete myth, and that he and Hepburn got along really well!

The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and tiny tears and tiny dots of paper loss in the vertical foldline between the top and middle crossfolds and in the left half of the top foldline. There was a lesser amount of wear on the other folds. There were some pinholes, creases, tears, and tiny areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. At some point after the poster was backed, it was roughly handled, and there are now tears and a small area of paper loss in the left of the top border of the poster, which is lifting from the linen. Any restorer could re-attach this area and perform some restoration without re-backing the poster. Learn More about condition grades
