They called him 'Hondo'"; based on the novel by Louis L'Amour; a complicated story of a part Indian cowboy who kills a man and then feels obligated to help provide for that man's widow and child, and there is a Native American chief who is interested in the child, and much more happens!) starring John Wayne (in the title role as Hondo Lane), Geraldine Page (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; billed as "and introducing Geraldine Page"), Ward Bond, Michael Pate, James Arness, Rodolfo Acosta, Leo Gordon, and Lee Aaker 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: The poster had very funny censorship! Apparently, someone thought the chest area of the woman was too large, and they cut a portion of it away and put blank white paper in place of it! Depending on how you look at it, this is either a major defect or a very fun addition to the poster. Also note that this movie was originally in 3-D. The studios created both 3D posters and 2D posters (the 2-D posters were for theaters that lacked the 3-D equipment). This poster is from the French "3-D" release (the word "RELIEF" across the bottom of the poster was how the French described "3-D"! Note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 14 1/2" x 20" [37 x 51 cm]. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster has been altered by a censor (see above). It also had several horizontal and vertical folds, with creases and scuffs on the foldlines. It had a stamp in the bottom center background area and some tears around the edges, with paper loss in the right of the top blank border. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not very distracting (and a talented restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster).
