This poster is currently unbacked. At check out, you will be given the opportunity to add backing which would cost $185 and take approximately 6-8 weeks.
Linen backing is the industry standard of conservation. Canvas is stretchered and a sheet of acid free barrier paper is laid down. The poster is then pasted to the acid free paper using an acid free paste. This process is fully reversible and gives support to the poster. A border of linen is left around the poster and can be used by a framer to mount the poster so that nothing touches the poster itself. Backing is what we recommend for framing, and for any poster needing restoration.

Carry On Cleo, the 1964 (released in the U.S. in 1965) Gerald Thomas English Egyptian historical sexploitation comedy ("Bedlam on the Nile!"; "She had lotions... And potions... And motions!"; "The funniest film since 54 B.C."; "The greatest comedy since 54 B.C."; "Special Roar Show Engagement"; "While the characters and events in this story are based on actual characters and events, certain liberties have been taken with Cleopatra"; "in Exoticolor"; "He came ... he saw... he tinkered!"; "He wanted to rest... on his laurels"; "Cleopatra's philter made him smoke!"; "The Forum was against him!"; "Cleo shows Antony her asp!"; "He guarded Caesar, with a mean and angry look!"; "He had notions.. about her motions!"; "'Watch it Cleo..... if anyone should grasp your asp - they could be badly bitten!!!'"; very loosely based on the play by William Shakespeare) starring Sidney James (as Mark Antony), Kenneth Williams (as Julius Caesar), Kenneth Connor, Charles Hawtrey, Jim Dale, Joan Sims (as Calpurnia), Amanda Barrie (in the title role as Cleopatra), and Tanya Binning (billed on Australian posters as "with Australia's own lovely Tanya Binning"). Note that this was one of a very popular series of 30 "Carry On..." sexploitation movies that were made in England between 1958 (the first one was "Carry On Sergeant") and 1978 (at that point, it became a TV series, and there was one final theatrical movie in 1992)!
