Jayne Russell 'The French Line' Original, Vintage 1953 US film poster

The French Line is a 1953 American musical film starring Jane Russell made by RKO Radio Pictures, directed by Lloyd Bacon and produced by Edmund Grainger, with Howard Hughes as executive producer. A Texas heiress is left speechless when her wealth scares away her fiance. The fun begins when she decides to take a trip to France to find true love without exposing her true identity.

It is a US One sheet, measuring 27 x 41", and is linen backed, ready for framing. 

The French Line was in was in very good condition before backing, and the colours are bright and crisp. There was minor wear on the folds, which have been corrected in the backing process.

All our film posters are original, and most have been used in cinemas. This means that they may show signs of use, including fading, creasing, holes and staining. We endeavor to list these if they are significant, but there may be minor, age -related wear that is not detailed. Posters from this era were printed onto cheap, thin paper, which over time can become brittle and discolored. Folding the paper caused further damage, and the posters may have split along the fold lines, along with damage caused by tape and drawing pin holes. During the linen backing process, the poster is cleaned to remove dirt and marks, where possible, and de-acidified to neutralize the paper and prevent further decay. The poster is pasted onto a layer of Masa paper and linen fabric, which flattens it, fixes tears, prevents further damage and brings the wonderful artwork back to life.  

The film poster presents very well, and is ready for framing. It will be mailed rolled in a cardboard tube.
