With the linen backing, it now measures approximately 27.25" x 41.90". If you need exact dimensions with the linen backing, just let me know. This poster was originally Folded. Almost all original movie posters pre 1985 are Folded. This is not considered a flaw or defect.This restored movie poster is graded C8.5, or Very Fine to Near Mint. This grade is generally the highest grade a restored original movie poster can receive. Original movie posters are graded, from the top down, as C10 (Mint), C9 (Near Mint), C8 (Very Fine), C7 (Very Good to Very Fine), C6 (Very Good), C5 (Good to Very Good), etc. It is difficult to find any C10 (Mint) original movie posters pre-1985. Prior to restoration this poster was graded a C7.5 Very minus. Restoration corrected Fold wear and pinholes and small tears along the borders. The poster now displays beautifully. The original 1945 movie poster THE LOST WEEKEND has great value and great investment value. This movie is iconic and won 4 Oscars in 1945 for Best Picture, Best Actor (Ray Milland), Best Director (Billy Wilder) and Best Adapted Screenplay. Anyone who has had trouble with alcoholism will recognize Ray Milland's performance in the movie as strikingly realistic. The high grade of C8.5 Very Fine to Near Mint also increases its value, while the linen backing will help to preserve its excellent condition.
