An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Style A Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Winchester '73, the classic 1950 Anthony Mann revenge cowboy western ("The Gun that Won the West"; about a man who wins a very special repeating rifle in a shooting contest, only to have it stolen from him, and his quest to regain ownership of it, and the many hands that it passes through) starring James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart), Shelley Winters, Dan Duryea, Stephen McNally, Millard Mitchell, Charles Drake, John McIntire, Will Geer (as Wyatt Earp), Jay C. Flippen, Rock Hudson (in a small role as a Native American Indian), Tony Curtis (in a small role as a young soldier; billed as "Anthony Curtis"), and Steve Brodie 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 first release movie paper from this classic western has always been somewhat difficult to obtain. This is likely both because the movie was given a quick re-release in 1958, and also because it has obvious strong appeal to anyone who owns or has owned one of these rifles! But the first release half-sheets are even more rare than the one-sheets. We have only once previously auctioned this 1950 first release half-sheet! 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. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thicker paper backing, it CAN'T be sent rolled (someone could conceivably roll it or try to do so, but we think it would have a strong chance of lessening its condition, so we will only send it in a large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage). What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had paper loss in the top right corner, extending slightly into the green background. It had very minor wear on the folds and some creases and small tears around the edges, with a 2" tear near the center of the bottom border, extending into the bottom of the credits. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
