An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81") (Learn More) Colt Comrades, the 1943 Lesley Selander cowboy western ("He Met the Best of the West!"; "Two-Gun, Two-Fisted Action!"; "Based on the story by Bliss Lomax and Characters Created by Clarence E. Mulford"; one of the long-running series of Hopalong Cassidy movies) starring William Boyd ("as Hopalong Cassidy"), Andy Clyde, Jay Kirby, Lois Sherman, Victor Jory, George Reeves, Douglas Fowley, and Robert Mitchum NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that there are early re-release posters of this movie that are often mistakenly sold as originals! The re-release posters do not say "Paramount Pictures" on them. Producer Harry Sherman bought the rights to the movies from Paramount in the mid-1940s and then re-released them as "Harry Sherman Presents", with no mention of Paramount on them. Condition: good to very good. The poster had a thin irregular strip of vertical paper loss starting 1" above the hat of the man with the gun at lower right, and running down through his hat and cheek and continuing irregularly into his shirt (this was the part of the foldline that was on the outside when the poster was fully folded). There was small paper loss at some other crossfolds and some creases, small tears, and tiny paper loss on parts of other foldlines. There were creases, tears, and areas of paper loss in the middle of the left blank border, and some minor defects in the rest of the borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, and the restorer did a fairly good job of re-drawing the missing area in the small figure of the man at right described above. I would think many collectors could display this poster just as it is, or certainly, a talented restorer could perform additional restoration to the above area, with or without re-backing the poster.
