An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Search, the 1948 Fred Zinnemann (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) Swiss/U.S. post-World War II (WWII) orphan/soldier relationship melodrama ("Everybody agrees MGM's The Search is a wonderful motion picture!"; about an American soldier in post World War II Berlin, who helps a lost Czechoslovakian boy find his mother, and deeply bonds with him) starring Montgomery Clift (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; his first released movie!), Aline MacMahon, Jarmila Novotna, Wendell Corey, and Ivan Jandl. Note that this was Montgomery Clift's first released movie (technically Red River was shot first, but it was released after this film), and MGM had no idea of how audiences would react to his new style of male hero, and so he was not even pictured on the posters! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and creases, scuffs, and a few small tears on parts of some foldlines. There were pinholes and some tears around the edges and some smudges and scuffs scattered in the image. Overall, the poster was in good to very 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 the restorer left a tiny bit of excess linen around all four sides of the poster (they left a small border in order to protect the poster from handling damage, but they did not leave a larger border, to allow it to more easily fit in a frame).
