A Circa 1940s (probably 1949) Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 40 3/4" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) a 1940s (probably 1949) John Wayne stock poster used by theaters to advertise re-released John Wayne serials from American Films. Theaters would order this poster, which has a large blank area where the title of the specific film being shown could be added (either through a snipe or through overprinting), thus getting many posters for the price of one (but the only examples of this poster we have seen have been overprinted, with just two titles, Shadow of the Eagle and Hurricane Express, both serials, so we suspect that this poster was solely used for re-releases of these John Wayne serials). Note that, in the U.S., after John Wayne achieved major stardom in 1939 with Stagecoach, distributors rushed to re-release his many 1930s B-westerns to theaters.

Condition: poor to fair. The poster is in much lesser condition. There are several defects scattered along the edges and foldlines/crossfolds and there are several significant areas of foldline and/or crossfold separation. Many of the defects have been repaired with tape from the back that may bleed through to the front. Much of the poster is being held together by tape and it is VERY fragile. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid and please do not bid unless you can accept the defects described above, or you are willing to pay to have them properly restored.
