Auction History Result 5h0040 FROM HELL TO TEXAS Italian 14x39 1958 different full-length image of Don Murray w/rifle! Date Sold 8/9/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Italian Movie Poster (measures 13 3/4" x 39 1/4" [35 x 100 cm]) (Learn More) From Hell to Texas (also released as "The Hell Bent Kid" and "Man Hunt"), the 1958 Henry Hathaway cowboy western ("There never was a man like the kid they couldn't kill... From the Cimarron to the Rio Grande..."; "The West's most savage man-chase.. FROM HELL TO TEXAS"; "Every gun in the territory was hired to kill..'The Hell Bent Kid'"; "Based on the book by Charles D. Locke") starring Don Murray, Diane Varsi, Chill Wills, Dennis Hopper, and R.G. Armstrong. Note that Hollywood legend has it that this movie was the one that caused Dennis Hopper (at the time a promising young actor) to be "blackballed" in mainstream Hollywood for many years. The story goes that Hopper clashed with director Hathaway over how he delivered a single line, and that hours of shooting (with innumerable takes) were wasted, and that finally Hopper delivered the line the way Hathaway wanted, but after that, he couldn't get a job in mainstream movies. Oddly enough, he returned to mainstream movies in 1965 in The Sons of Katie Elder, directed by Hathaway (who apparently forgave him over those years), but of course, his career really took off with Easy Rider in 1969!

Important Added Info: Note that this is one of four very unusual Italian posters we were just consigned from an Italian collector! There are two different sizes (two of them measure close to 15x30 and are horizontal in format, and two measure close to 14x40 and are vertical in format). THESE ARE NOT ITALIAN SIZES WE ARE FAMILIAR WITH! The vertical posters date from 1958, and the horizontal posters date from 1974 and 1975, so we suspect this is something the Italian poster printers were experimenting with during those years, but apparently it did not "catch on", because they are clearly extremely rare! If anyone knows more about any of this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.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: very good. Learn More about condition grades
