Condition: This original movie poster has strong colors with great definition of the actors (Lucille Ball in a serious mood!) The majority of flaws that exist are not obtrusive to the poster. However, there is one flaw that is in the image that is a little obtrusive. There is a 4 1/2" horizontal tear at the top left corner that goes from the edge inward and upward. The paper does remain at this tear. Right below that tear along the left edge are 3 minor tears (about 1" each). There is tape on the reverse to repair these tears. At the top right corner there is a 1/4" chip. There is a 1/2" vertical tear along the bottom edge to the left of center. There is wear and creasing at all 4 corners. There is also some lite soiling along the borders. We have a 2" crease near the bottom left under the name "ALAN". And there is some minor spotting on the left side above the word "SIC". Still, this poster displays as very clean and with little impact by the flaws. Please review the photos carefully.

This is the Original (1sh) movie poster
LURED, Style B
. It was used by
United Artists
to promote this movie when it was released in 1947. It is not a reprint nor a reproduction. The movie stars
George Sanders, Lucille Ball, Charles Coburn, Boris Karloff,
Cedric Hardwicke, Joseph Calleia, Alan Mowbray, and George Zucco. It was directed by Douglas Sirk.
This unrestored movie poster is Flat and measures 22" x 28", known as a "Half Sheet".
It was previously rolled but is now being stored Flat, and will be mailed Flat.
This original movie poster is graded C6.5, Fine Plus (+).
Original movie posters are graded as follows from the top down: C10 (Mint), C9 (Near Mint), C8 (Very Fine), C7 (Fine/Very Fine), C6 (Fine or Very Good), C5 (Good to Very Good), C4 (Good), etc.    Overall, this original movie poster can be framed and displayed as is.  A majority of the flaws - tears - soiling - occur along the poster's edges/borders which can be alleviated with proper and insightful framing. The one flaw that goes into the image is the 4 1/2" horizontal tear that appears on the left side border and goes inward and upward. The paper remains at this tear, so - again - once the poster is laid flat and pressed for framing, the tear should become less visible. From a relatively short distance - say 5 feet - this tear is not obtrusive to the poster's image. Restoration and/or linen backing of this poster would alleviate all of these flaws.   And the cost of restoration - we feel - would be recaptured in the increased value of a restored
LURED
original movie poster.   We offer restoration or can refer you to the restoration company that we use. They are very reasonable priced and our restorations with this company have turned out superbly.
We believe that the original movie poster
LURED
,
Style B
, has investment value. The movie stars Boris Karloff and Lucille Ball amongst other great actors and all of their facades are displayed prominently on the poster very nicely. And we have not seen too many original movie posters of
LURED
, making it relatively rare.  If you are looking for a variation of this poster, we will also be, or already have, listing/listed the companion Style A of the Half Sheet of
LURED
on ebay.
