His only refuge was in a woman's heart!"; "From a Story by William Bowers and Andre de Toth"; about a champion gunfighter who returns to the town where his wife and son are, in the hopes of reuniting with them and "going straight", but circumstances beyond his control prevent that from happening) starring Gregory Peck (as Jimmy Ringo), Helen Westcott, Millard Mitchell, Jean Parker, Karl Malden, Skip Homeier, Anthony Ross, Verna Felton, Ellen Corby, and Richard Jaeckel. Note that some key book stills for this movie have the title entered as "The Gun Fighter". We don't know if this was an early working title, or if it was just a case of someone making a mistake! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this insert, which has a different and better image from that of the other posters! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Also note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thinner paper backing, it COULD be sent rolled, but we would MUCH prefer to send it in a large flat package (because we fear that rolling it, even into a wide tube, would have an excellent change of damaging it, so we will only send it in a tube if the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage), but otherwise, we will ship it in a very large flat package, so bear that expense in mind before bidding on this poster.

Prior to paperbacking, the poster was never machine folded, but it had horizontal creases scattered in the top and bottom from being roughly handled when it was rolled. It had small tears and tiny paper loss around the edges. It had NSS numbers written on the back of the top left that bled through to the front in the yellow background. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
