An Undated (probably 1964) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked French One-Panel Movie Poster (measures 46" x 62"; known as a 'grande' poster in France) (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.

The poster had creases and tiny tears on some foldlines, and tiny paper loss at the crossfolds. There was some minor border wear. At some point (and if I was guessing, I would say after the poster was linenbacked), there was surface paper lost from the top of the credits area removing much of the "Y" of "WAYNE" and extending above and below that letter. I would think that any talented restorer could almost certainly touch up this area without re-backing the poster, and after that, the poster would display pretty well.
