Artist: Saul Bass Important Added Info: Note that this poster has a copyright date of 1956, but an NSS number of "57/27". We have consulted with other poster experts, and no one (including us) has ever seen a one-sheet of this title that has a 1956 NSS number, although at least one other poster size did carry a 1956 NSS number of "56/446". Therefore, we believe that this is the first release one-sheet for this movie (we have seen similar situations occur with other titles, especially when they were released right at the end of a year). If anyone has more information about this, or if anyone has ever seen a one-sheet with a different NSS number, please e-mail us and we will post it here. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some extra creases along the top and bottom horizontal folds. There were pinholes in the corners. It had a few black stains in the bottom of the red background area. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, but the restorer did not address the black stains (or they were acquired after the poster was backed). Any restorer could touch up those areas without re-backing the poster. Learn More about condition grades
