Auction History Result 4z0575 DOCKS OF NEW ORLEANS 1/2sh 1948 Roland Winters as Charlie Chan, Yung, ultra rare green title! Date Sold 8/31/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Docks of New Orleans, the 1948 Derwin Abrahams Louisiana Asian detective waterfront mystery crime thriller ("Suggested by Earl Derr Biggers' character") starring Roland Winters ("as Charlie Chan"), Virginia Dale, Mantan Moreland, John Gallaudet, Victor Sen Yung (billed as "Victor Sen Young"), George J. Lewis, Douglas Fowley, Harry Hayden, and Carol Forman. Note that the very first Charlie Chan movie was "House Without a Key" in 1925, with George Kuwa as Chan. In 1927, "The Chinese Parrot" (directed by Paul Leni) starred Sojin Kamiyama as Chan. In 1929 came the third movie, "Behind That Curtain", starring E.L. Park as Charlie Chan. 1931 brought "Charlie Chan Carries On", starring Warner Oland in the first of many movies with him as the Asian detective, and he was later replaced by Sidney Toler and then Roland Winters (there would ultimately be 47 Charlie Chan movies!). Of course, Charlie Chan is one of the most memorable literary creations ever, from author Earl Derr Biggers, but because politically correct-minded people have viewed the character as outdated, the movies are rarely shown, which is a shame!

We have never auctioned one with this different "green title style" design in all our years of auctioning! Note also that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good. The poster has some slight discoloration in a few areas, but it was stored on or near corrugated cardboard and it has acquired a pattern on the back. There are tears around the edges (some tears at lower right have paper that was bent back and while it looks like paper loss in our image that paper remains (and we have bent it forward since the picture was taken). There is paper loss at lower left and there is a diagonal crease at upper left that it torn at upper center (and that tear is backed with tape). It is otherwise mostly "all there" and after proper restoration the very rare poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
