An Undated (probably 1950s) Re-Release Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 28" x 41" [71 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Son of the Sheik, the 1926 George Fitzmaurice Arabian silent desert romantic adventure melodrama sequel ("Hail now! 'The Son of the Sheik'"; "A sequel to 'The Sheik'"; "From the novel by E.M. Hull - Adapted to the screen by Frances Marion"; the son has his way with a dancing girl, and her father captures him and tortures him as payback) starring Rudolph Valentino (in a dual title role as both Sheik Ahmed Ben Hassan and Ahmed, the Sheik's son; in his final movie role!), Vilma Banky (as Yasmin), George Fawcett, Montagu Love, and Karl Dane. Note that this movie was a sequel to Valentino's wildly successful 1920 "The Sheik". Unfortunately, he passed away when filming was completed, and it was not released until after his death. 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: It is certainly not from the first release of the movie, and we have seen the 1938 re-release, which is from Artcinema and this is not that, so what is it? It is printed on paper similar to that used for roadshow movies in the late 1940s and 1950s, so we are guessing it is from the 1950s. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that this one-sheet measures 28" x 41" [71 x 104 cm]. Condition: good. There is light rippling and slight discoloration scattered in portions of the poster due to exposure to moisture and there are some pinholes around the edges. Certainly the poster could be restored and linenbacked and it would look great, but please bear in mind its defects and cost of restoration before placing a bid. Learn More about condition grades
