An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Three Texas Steers, the 1939 George Sherman circus cowboy western ("Based on characters created by William Colt MacDonald") starring The Three Mesquiteers (John Wayne, Ray 'Crash' Corrigan and Max Terhune), Carole Landis, Ralph Graves, Roscoe Ates, and Ray 'Crash' Corrigan (as the gorilla). Note that oddly, the plot of this movie included a beautiful young circus owner, which allowed for the inclusion of the stock "gorilla" that seemed to appear in lots of 1930s and 1940s movies, plus "little people". Also note that the beautiful young circus owner is played by Carole Landis, in her first real role (after two more similar roles, she made "One Million B.C.", and became a major star)! Note that Crash Corrigan made a REALLY wise investment in the 1930s, when he bought a "gorilla suit". In many of the movies in the 1940s where there is a fake gorilla, it is played by Crash Corrigan, no doubt because he could supply the suit! What is really impressive about it this time is that in this case, Corrigan was one of the main stars of the movie, so not only did he have to wear a gorilla suit for some scenes, but he had to do it in between scenes where he was one of the Three Mesquiteers!

The poster had a large area of paper loss at the top crossfold, and areas of paper loss down the entire vertical foldline. There were some creases and tears in the top left corner of the poster and some writing on the back of that area that slightly bled through to the front. There were creases, tears, and areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster. The person who did the restoration put new blank white paper over all the borders to even out the appearance (but the small writing at the bottom of the poster was not covered over). This is a common technique used by several top restorers. It is done so well that the majority of collectors are not even aware it has been done, and many do not feel it to be a significant detraction (since it is only blank white area). Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was fairly well backed, but it required a great deal of restoration to repair the above defects, and several of the areas described above are heavily restored (all of the yellow letters of the title are re-painted), and the poster definitely has a "heavily restored" look to it.
