This is a sought after half sheet poster for the 1945 Universal film Pursuit of Algiers starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. This 23 1/2" X 36" U.S. Half Sheet is linen backed. The poster overall is in Fair Condition. There are spots of faded color spread througout the half sheet (See Photos) Most of the areas are fairly minor, but there is a sizeable area of white spots right at the top middle of the poster. Luckily, most of these spots are over the colored blue spaces in the poster and not over keep images, but they are visible. These appear that they could easily be fixed with a professional restoration. The rest of the image, credits and title are in good shape. (From Wikipedia) Pursuit to Algiers (1945) is the twelfth entry in the Basil Rathbone/Nigel Bruce Sherlock Holmes film series of fourteen. The film takes some characters and events from the 1911 story "The Adventure of the Red Circle". Elements in the story pay homage to an otherwise unrecorded affair mentioned by Watson at the beginning of the 1903 story "The Adventure of the Norwood Builder", notably the steamship Friesland. Off-camera, Watson also recounts to his audience another unrecorded affair mentioned in the 1924 story The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire, that of the Giant Rat of Sumatra, "a story for which the world is not yet prepared".
