An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) The Sky Dragon, the 1949 Lesley Selander Asian detective mystery crime thriller ("Suggested by Earl Derr Bigger's character") starring Roland Winters ("as Charlie Chan"), Keye Luke (as Lee Chan), Mantan Moreland, Noel Neill, Tim Ryan, Iris Adrian, Elena Verdugo, Emmett Vogan, Milburn Stone, Lyle Talbot, and Louise Franklin. Note that the very first Charlie Chan movie was "House Without a Key" in 1925, with George Kuwa as Chan. In 1927, "The Chinese Parrot" (directed by Paul Leni) starred Sojin Kamiyama as Chan. In 1929 came the third movie, "Behind That Curtain", starring E.L. Park as Charlie Chan. 1931 brought "Charlie Chan Carries On", starring Warner Oland in the first of many movies with him as the Asian detective, and he was later replaced by Sidney Toler and then Roland Winters (there would ultimately be 47 Charlie Chan movies!). Of course, Charlie Chan is one of the most memorable literary creations ever, from author Earl Derr Biggers, but because politically correct-minded people have viewed the character as outdated, the movies are rarely shown, which is a shame! 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 this poster has never been machine folded! Most half-sheet posters were folded once horizontally and once vertically right off of the printing press. It is very difficult to find an unfolded example of most half-sheets, especially from before 1970! Condition: very good. There are several tears in the top border that are repaired with tape from the back (two of them extend into the image). There are some tears, smudges, and faint stains in the other borders, but otherwise, the poster is in pretty nice condition, and it has never been folded! There is some tape residue on the back of each of the four corners, which has left the poster "sticky" in those areas. Learn More about condition grades
