An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More)

Follow the Sun, the 1951 Sidney Lanfield golf sports biography melodrama ("The real-life love story of two kids from Texas!"; "The Story of Valerie and Ben Hogan"; "based on an article by Frederick Hazlitt Brennan published in the Reader's Digest"; a fictionalized biography of superstar golfer Ben Hogan, who was injured in a car crash, yet came back to have great success as a professional golfer!) starring Glenn Ford (as Ben Hogan), Anne Baxter (as Valerie Hogan), Dennis O'Keefe, June Havoc, Larry Keating, Roland Winters, and Nana Bryant. Note that at this time, Hollywood studios were reluctant to advertise sports biography movies from the sports angle, and so, for this movie, as they did for so many other sports movies, the poster does not mention the word "golf" at all, and there is only a tiny inset image that shows Ben Hogan golfing!

Important Added Info:

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It had pinholes, faint stains and a few small tears around the edges, and some creases near the center of the title. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above.
