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.
The Goodbye Girl, Herbert Ross romantic Broadway stage play melodrama ("Thank you, Neil Simon, for Richard Dreyfuss"; "Thank you, Neil Simon, for 'The Goodbye Girl'"; "Written by Neil Simon"; about two struggling actors who work in the theater, and one has a ten year old daughter, and they hate each other, but they are forced to share an apartment, and naturally, they fall in love; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award)

This hit movie had a very troubled background! It originally had Robert De Niro as the leading man and Mike Nichols as the director (it was loosely based on Dustin Hoffman's life as a struggling actor, and supposedly the studio turned down Hoffman for the lead!). There were major differences between De Niro, Nichols, and writer Neil Simon, and then two weeks into filming, De Niro and Nichols were fired! Other actors were then candidates for the lead role including Jack Nicholson, James Caan and Tony Lo Bianco. Finally, Richard Dreyfuss was brought in to test opposite Marsha Mason and Neil Simon liked their chemistry, so Dreyfuss was cast and Herbert Ross was brought in as director, and ultimately, the movie proved to be a big hit!
