An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Movie Lobby Card #2 (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Fort Apache, the 1948 John Ford U.S. Cavalry Native American Indian cowboy western ("John Ford's Masterpiece of the Frontier!"; based on the James Warner Bellah story, "Massacre"; about a Civil War hero who is transferred to a western regiment, obviously based on General Custer, and he wants to have added glory by killing Cochise, but the local captain, played by Wayne, does not feel the Indians are in the wrong, but the Colonel persists, and many of his men are massacred, similar to what actually happened at Little Big Horn) starring John Wayne, Henry Fonda, Shirley Temple, Pedro Armendariz, Ward Bond, George O'Brien, Victor McLaglen, Anna Lee, Irene Rich, Dick Foran, Guy Kibbee, Grant Withers, Mae Marsh, John Agar (billed as "and introducing John Agar"), Miguel Inclan (as Cochise), and Jack Pennick. Note that this was the first of the three John Ford/John Wayne cavalry movies (the second was "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon" in 1949, and the third was "Rio Grande" in 1950). Note that George O'Brien had been a World War I soldier and Navy boxing champion, and after he left the Navy, he worked as a stuntman, and in 1924, John Ford picked him to star in his silent epic "The Iron Horse". He became a major silent star, and worked consistently in the 1930s, and then he re-enlisted at the start of World War II, when he was over 40 years old! After the war, his old friend and mentor John Ford gave him parts in three westerns, including this one! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Harold Von Schmidt Important Added Info: Note that this card shows a scene that does not appear in the actual movie! We imagine that they first filmed the scene with John Wayne in it, and then revised the script and re-filmed that scene, and that the person who chose the lobby card images accidentally chose one from the original version! Also note that this lobby card has been paperbacked. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. Prior to paperbacking, the card had all of its borders trimmed off, including the small writing at the bottom. It also had pinholes and tears around the edges, with a few pinholes, creases, and smudges scattered in the image. Someone paperbacked the card and either they used the borders from another card, or recreated the writing at the bottom (or a combination of both), but the bottom small writing is not from the original card. The card displays pretty well, but please read our description above and look at our super-sized image before placing a bid on this lobby card. Learn More about condition grades
