Auction History Result p345 BORN TO THE WEST linen one-sheet movie poster '37 John Wayne Date Sold 3/21/2005Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Born to the West, the 1937 Charles Barton cowboy western (based on the novel by Zane Grey) starring John Wayne, Marsha Hunt, Johnny Mack Brown, Monte Blue, Lucien Littlefield, and Nick Lukats. Note that the IMDb claims that there was a "clerical error" that resulted in Alan Ladd's name being added to the cast (as "Inspector"), but that he was not actually in the movie (he was in just a few movies at this time in very minor roles). Apparently, this clerical error was repeated in 1950, because when the movie was re-released that year (under the title of "Hell Town"), Alan Ladd's name appeared prominently in the credits! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had small paper loss at each crossfold and some tears and tiny paper loss down the top half of the vertical foldline. There were some tears and small areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster. There was a triangular area of paper loss at the left end of the middle foldline, almost completely in the blank white area, but just touching the edge of the "B" of "BORN". There was a tear with tiny paper loss in the chin of the man at top center. The poster is in better condition than the above makes it sound! None of the above defects are really very significant, and all were very nicely corrected during linenbacking. The poster looks quite nice, and I would think any collector would be happy to display it on their wall! Learn More about condition grades
