Auction History Result 2z793 HANG 'EM HIGH 1sh '68 Clint Eastwood, they hung the wrong man & didn't finish the job! Date Sold 12/8/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Hang 'em High, the classic 1968 Ted Post cowboy revenge western ("The hanging was the best show in town. But they made two mistakes. They hung the wrong man and they didn't finish the job."; "Written by Leonard Freeman & Mel Goldberg") starring Clint Eastwood, Inger Stevens, Ed Begley, Pat Hingle ("as Judge Fenton"), Alan Hale Jr., Dennis Hopper, L.Q. Jones, and Arlene Golonka. Note that this movie was Clint Eastwood's first American movie after his trilogy of Italian spaghetti westerns (and the other movie he made in Italy, "The Witches"). He returned to the U.S. and wanted Sergio Leone to direct this movie, but he had already committed to make "Once Upon a Time in the West". The producers wanted many other famous directors to direct this movie, but Eastwood insisted on Ted Post being hired (Post had directed him in many episodes of TV's "Rawhide"). At one point after filming started, one of the producers clashed with Ted Post, and Eastwood told him to leave the set and not return, or the movie would not continue filming, and the producer did as Eastwood told him! Eastwood would show this kind of loyalty to people like director Ted Post and actors he liked working with, hiring people he had worked with in the past to work with him over and over again throughout his film career.

Artist: Sandy Kossin Important Added Info: Note that all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction were consigned to us by legendary French dealer/collector Dominique Besson. Dominique Besson started collecting movie posters in 1981, and became a dealer in French and European posters in 1994, and has remained as a top dealer ever since! But in addition, 30 years ago, Dominique began collecting U.S. one-sheets, first those with Saul Bass art, and then adding Alfred Hitchcock posters, then Humphrey Bogart, and he finally ended up collecting in an amazing total of 47 different categories, purchasing the posters from all over the world! Now the time has come to sell this wonderful collection, and Dominique has chosen eMoviePoster.com to do so, through our auctions! As noted above, all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I come from this more remarkable collection (the 28 that do not were consigned to us by other collectors, and are clearly marked). This is not all of the Dominique Besson collection we are auctioning. In addition, there are approximately 200 more folded one-sheets that will be in Part IV of this special auction (ones from the 1970s to present), and there are approximately 100 unfolded one-sheets that will be in Part III (including many great ones). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase folded one-sheets (all of which have had no professional restoration) from one of the greatest one-sheet collections assembled! Note that this one-sheet is from the category that Dominique Besson collected on that he labeled "Clint Eastwood". Condition: fair to good. The poster has fold and border wear and someone touched up some of the wear with black marker and white out. There is a semi-circular tear at upper center to the right of Eastwood's ear that has been repaired with tape from the back. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid and please do not bid unless you can accept the defects described above, or you are willing to pay to have them properly restored.
