An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More)

The Dark Command, the 1940 Raoul Walsh Kansas post-Civil War cowboy western ("A drama of undying love"; about a band of renegade Confederate guerrillas who go around looting; loosely based on the real William Quantrill; they even named the character "William Contrell"!) starring Claire Trevor, John Wayne, Walter Pidgeon, Roy Rogers, George 'Gabby' Hayes, Porter Hall, Marjorie Main, and Raymond Walburn. Note that even though Roy Rogers had starred in many B-westerns at the time of the making of this movie, he was fourth billed, and was not pictured on any of the posters (except the insert and the style B 1SH [where he is barely visible!]), or the title lobby card (although he was pictured on one of the publicity stills, perhaps Republic was trying to distinguish this movie as an "A" picture, and did not want to give prominent billing to Roy Rogers, who they perceived as a "B" western star?).

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that we were consigned four half-sheets and two inserts that have been folded, and because they are in lesser condition, can't possibly be rolled. Therefore, they will be sent in a standard size flat package (and that is why they are in this set of auctions, with other items that will be sent in standard flat packages).

Condition: fair. The poster has completely separated on the top and bottom folds and has many other condition issues (see our image). Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects or are willing to pay to have them properly restored.
