It's Ellery's biggest case in years... Your biggest thrill of the season!"; "Story by Ellery Queen"; based on the classic character created by Frederic Dannay and Manfred Lee, who together wrote under the pseudonym Ellery Queen) starring Ralph Bellamy (in the title role "as Ellery Queen"), Margaret Lindsay ("as Nikki Porter"), Charles Grapewin (billed as "Charley Grapewin"), Mona Barrie, Paul Hurst, James Burke, and Blanche Yurka. Note that this classic series of novels first came to the screen in 1935, as a Monogram movie, called "The Spanish Cape Mystery", starring Donald Cook in the lead role. They followed it with a sequel the next year, repl4acing Cook with Eddie Quillan. Neither movie did that well at the box office, and Monogram dropped the series. Columbia bought the rights in 1940, when they made "Ellery Queen, Master Detective", with Ralph Bellamy taking over in the lead role, and six more movies were made the next two years, and then the series stopped again. A TV series "The Adventures of Ellery Queen", began in 1950 with Richard Hart in the lead role. The next season he was replaced by Lee Bowman, who lasted three years and then was replaced by Hugh Marlowe, who played the character for five years, and then the series ended. After a two year gap, "The Further Adventures of Ellery Queen" aired on TV starring George Nader for one season, and then Lee Philips for another season. The character was not revived until 1975, when Jim Hutton played the lead role in the TV series "Ellery Queen", but it only lasted one season. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Important Added Info: Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster was hand-folded off center of the original machine folds which has caused some tearing and creasing along the folds, with a few small tears of varying lengths scattered in some areas (one of which affects the image of Lindsay's face at center.) Several of the tears, including some around the edges, have been repaired with tape from the back. It is otherwise in pretty good condition and after a simple paperbacking the poster will look great!
