An Undated (probably 1950s) Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Belgian Movie Poster (measures 14 1/2" x 21 1/2" [37 x 55 cm]) (Learn More) Red River, the classic 1948 Howard Hawks Texas romantic family relationship cattle drive cowboy western ("Fighting like you've never seen before!"; "Cattle-drive, the longest in the history of the West!"; "Stampede as thousands of fear-crazed cattle run"; "Indian massacres and attacks from the Panhandle to Missouri"; "Love as deep and tender as their hearts were bold!"; "Manhunt with no quarter asked or given"; "Gun-play as breath-taking as a coyote's howl at night!"; "Not since 'The Covered Wagon' and 'Cimarron' has there been a motion picture like 'Red River'"; "There was glory at one end - fury at the other - and nothing but danger in between!"; "Howard Hawks who gave you 'Scarface' and 'Sergeant York' now brings you The Greatest Story The West Ever Told!"; "In 25 Years - Only Three! Covered Wagon, Cimarron, and now... Red River"; "Blazing in its action - thundering in its drama - stirring in the sweep of its fabulous production!"; "From the original Saturday Evening Post story 'The Chisholm Trail' by Borden Chase") starring John Wayne, Montgomery Clift, Walter Brennan, Joanne Dru, Harry Carey Sr., Coleen Gray, John Ireland, Noah Beery Jr., Harry Carey Jr., Paul Fix, Mickey Kuhn, Hank Worden, and Hal Taliaferro. Note that this movie was filmed in 1946, but was held back so as to not interfere with the major delayed 1946 release of "The Outlaw", co-directed by Howard Hawks (although Howard Hughes took all the credit!). It was intended to be Montgomery Clift's first movie, but this delay caused it to be released after "The Search", making it his second movie. Also, Clift and Wayne had very differing political views, and did not take to each other at all, but that likely helped the movie, since their characters were at odds with each other through almost the entire movie.

Important Added Info: Note that while this poster could theoretically be rolled in a very wide tube, we fear it would almost surely damage it, so we will be sending it in a very large flat package. Please bear this in mind when bidding on this poster, because we will only roll it if the new buyer insists and if they will accept responsibility if it is damaged because it is rolled. Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. What IS paperbacking?

Prior to paperbacking, the poster was folded across the middle and the top blank area, the left blank border, and the bottom blank border were trimmed from the poster (the right border was not trimmed). Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was well backed, and the restorer replaced the missing border areas, perhaps with borders from a different poster.
