DeMille's The Plainsman (released in Spain as "Buffalo Bill"), the classic 1936 Cecil B. DeMille poker gambling romantic cowboy western epic ("The raging story of the Frontier... and the daring men and women who smashed it down! Romance! Spectacle!!

Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane, Buffalo Bill Cody, General Custer who lived recklessly... dangerously... to mold an empire out of prairies... to build cities on a range!"; a combination of all the legends about Buffalo Bill Cody, Calamity Jane, and Wild Bill Hickok, including Hickok's death while gambling at poker and holding the "dead man's hand", aces and eights) starring Gary Cooper (as "Wild Bill Hickok"), Jean Arthur (as "Calamity Jane"), James Ellison (as "Buffalo Bill Cody"), Charles Bickford, Helen Burgess, and Porter Hall (as Jack McCall, the man who shot Hickok in the back). Note that Native American Indian Chief Thunder Bird was hired by Cecil B. DeMille to be the technical advisor on the movie so that the Native Americans would be authentic! 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 this is an extremely rare poster. We have only auctioned one in all our years of auctioning and that was 20 years ago! Condition: good. The poster is lightly rippled around the edges and it has some slight discoloration mainly on back of the lower quarter (where there is a partial shoe print) but the slight discoloration does not have much effect on the front. The poster was folded in half an extra time resulting in a light vertical foldline at left and right and it has some pinholes around the edges and minor crossfold separation (most of which is repaired with small pieces of white tape from the back). There is an area of paper loss at right just above the crook of Arthur's elbow, and someone performed amateur restoration to that area (see our image). Despite the defects, the poster is "mostly all there" and while one could choose to display it as is, after some proper restoration the poster would display quite well (but bear in mind the defects and cost of restoration and see our super-sized image before placing a bid.)
