Straight from the shoulder, right from the heart comes Irving Berlin's There's No Business Like Show Business"; "The Musicavalcade and the Personal Story of the Greatest Business On Earth"; "Rising like a song of songs from show business' heart of hearts!"; "From a story by Lamar Trotti - Lyrics and Music by Irving Berlin"; produced by Darryl F. Zanuck) starring Ethel Merman, Donald O'Connor, Marilyn Monroe (in a small, but important role), Dan Dailey, Johnnie Ray, and Mitzi Gaynor. Note that 20th Century-Fox cast singer Johnnie Ray as one of the family members, thinking the likeable singer would move on to many more roles in their musicals, but unfortunately, he was a gay homosexual male at a time when that was not tolerated in Hollywood, and that surely greatly hurt his career.

This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. What IS paperbacking?
