An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Letter of Introduction, the 1938 John M. Stahl family relationship father/daughter comedy melodrama ("Introducing... a truly great picture"; "Based on an original story by Bernice Boone"; about an older star actor who learns through a letter from his long ago ex-wife that he has an adult daughter he never met, and he starts a relationship with her, but he is reluctant to reveal their true relationship, which causes problems for him and his girlfriend, and his daughter and her boyfriend) starring Adolphe Menjou, Andrea Leeds, Edgar Bergen and "Charlie McCarthy" (with Mortimer Snerd), George Murphy, Rita Johnson, Ann Sheridan, Eve Arden, and Ernest Cossart. Note that Edgar Bergen played a ventriloquist friend of the long lost daughter, which should have been a pretty minor role, because it had nothing to do with the plot, but they provided all of the comedy in this movie, and they were played up very strongly in the advertising, especially Charlie McCarthy!

Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had some small tears and tiny paper loss on parts of the folds, and pinholes, tears, and tiny paper loss in the borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but likely after it was backed, it acquired some small areas of surface paper loss in parts of the borders of the poster, in the image background (see our image). This could certainly be touched up by any talented restorer without re-backing the poster. Learn More about condition grades
