An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Ellery Queen, Master Detective, the 1940 Kurt Neumann detective crime mystery thriller ("Ellery Queen, most celebrated sleuth of radio and fiction, solves his toughest case on the screen!"; "A statue... Strangest of clues! A versatile raven... Weirdest of pets! A jewel-handled dagger... How did it vanish?"; "You've heard him on the air! Now... see Ellery Queen on the screen!"; "It's the clueless mystery of the raven, the dagger and John Braun's vanishing body"; based on the classic character created by Frederic Dannay and Manfred Lee, who together wrote under the pseudonym Ellery Queen) starring Ralph Bellamy (in the title role "as Ellery Queen"), Margaret Lindsay ("as Nikki Porter"), Charley Grapewin, James Burke, Michael Whalen, Marsha Hunt, Fred Niblo, Charles Lane, Ann Showmaker, and Douglas Fowley. Note that this classic series of novels first came to the screen in 1935, as a Monogram movie, called "The Spanish Cape Mystery", starring Donald Cook in the lead role. They followed it with a sequel the next year, replacing Cook with Eddie Quillan. Neither movie did that well at the box office, and Monogram dropped the series. Columbia bought the rights in 1940, when they made "Ellery Queen, Master Detective", with Ralph Bellamy taking over in the lead role, and six more movies were made the next two years, and then the series stopped again. A TV series "The Adventures of Ellery Queen", began in 1950 with Richard Hart in the lead role. The next season he was replaced by Lee Bowman, who lasted three years and then was replaced by Hugh Marlowe, who played the character for five years, and then the series ended. After a two year gap, "The Further Adventures of Ellery Queen" aired on TV starring George Nader for one season, and then Lee Philips for another season. The character was not revived until 1975, when Jim Hutton played the lead role in the TV series "Ellery Queen", but it only lasted one season. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Condition: fair to good. The poster has a red paint drip stain at right in the man's face. It was folded a few extra times vertically, resulting in extra vertical folds and there are portions of separation in some of the edges and there are a few tears of varying lengths around the edges as well. A few of the tears or other defects as described above are repaired with tape from the back. 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
