An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) The Arizonian, the 1935 Charles Vidor Arizona romantic love triangle outlaw cowboy western ("Law and order ride the raw frontier!"; about a stranger who comes to a corrupt Arizona town, where an English singer is about to leave; she stays because of him, but it turns out he is the brother of her fiance, so they can't have a romance; the stranger becomes the sheriff, and with the help of his brother and a reformed outlaw, is able to clean up the town, but which brother will get the girl?; if you have seen any old westerns, you will surely guess the answer!) starring Richard Dix, Margot Grahame, Preston Foster, Louis Calhern, Willie Best, James Bush, Hank Bell, Bob Kortman, and Slim Whitaker. Note that the character Richard Dix plays in this movie is essentially a composite of mostly Wyatt Earp, but also other famous western sheriffs who cleaned up towns. A few years later, movies like these would have the title characters named after those famous sheriffs! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It had many creases and scuffs scattered throughout and pinholes, tears, and tiny paper loss around the edges. There was some sort of staining on the top center of the poster, running down and slightly to the right (and it looks like it might have been grease or oil that caused it), and it showed in Grahame's nose, shoulder, and in the "AR" of "ARIZONIAN". Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed with no excess, and while you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of them from a close distance, from a reasonable viewing distance, they are much less noticeable and not very distracting.
