Condition: very good. The poster has separation at the bottom two crossfolds and someone put a piece of tape on the back of each of those areas. It also had pairs of tiny staples scattered in the image, and when they were removed, some left two tiny holes, but one pair in Cagney's hair left tiny paper loss in his hair, and one in Sheridan's neck left a small tear extending into the very top of the "F", and there is another tear in the background below the "QU" of "CONQUEST", and some tiny paper loss in the bottom left credits area. Someone put a small piece of tape on the back of the tear in Cagney's hair and the tear in Sheridan's neck, and performed slight restoration to the front of that area. The poster can certainly be displayed as it is (and other than the above, it is in really nice condition), or certainly, one could choose to perform a simple linenbacking.
