Note: Like many of the significant movies, "The Wizard of OZ" had a number of theatrical re-releases. These were only for films that were so popular, that they were re-released in theaters across the country for a short period after the original release. The Wizard of Oz had three official theatrical releases, 1939, 1949 and 1955. Some films like Casablanca and Frankenstein had more then Five theatrical re-releases. Of course this was to meet the public's desire long before the ON-Demand technology revolution.

CONDITION: Very good condition. Vintage poster has an attractive vintage sepia patina for a nice additional touch of authenticity. .
Has been professionally paper backed. What is paperbacking? "Paperbacking" is a process that is used to preserve movie posters (the best restorers de-acidify the poster during the restoration process), and to make them easier to display (it is easier and less expensive to frame a paperbacked poster, but not quite as easy as it is to frame a linenbacked poster). When paperbacking is done correctly, it adds to the value of the poster, and is NOT a defect! This poster was well backed.
