Auction History Result e255 DEBTOR TO THE LAW style A three-sheet movie poster '19 outlaw Henry Starr! Date Sold 8/15/2006Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Style A Three-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 41" x 81") (Learn More) A Debtor to the Law, the 1919 silent cowboy western starring Henry Starr (billed as "The Man Who Stole A Million"; a real-life outlaw cowboy playing himself; he made this single movie and then returned to a life of crime!), Paul Curry (who also plays himself), Patrick Sylvester McGeeney, and Karl Hackett. Note that at the time of the movie's release, the pressbook's advertising claim that Starr had completely renounced his life of crime and had said, decisively, "I'm through", and that it would surely mean that he would never rob again, because "his word had always been a sacred pledge". It also stated that he had recently been informed that land he owned was yielding a huge amount of oil and that he was now "financially independent". Yet just two years after the making of this movie, Starr returned to his former profession of robbing banks, and was shot and killed in 1921 (I guess his gusher didn't pan out!). Also, note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: This three-sheet was printed in 3 sections. Condition: good. The poster is very fragile, and there is much separation on many foldlines. Some of the blank borders are somewhat tattered and there are some light water stains along some foldlines and in some borders. But the poster is almost completely "all there", and any talented restorer can linenback this poster and the above defects will pretty much vanish, and the poster will look great, and there will be little paint restoration anywhere in the image!
