An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) The Texas Bad Man, the 1932 Edward Laemmle cowboy western starring Tom Mix, Tony (Mix's horse), Lucille Powers, Fred Kohler, Willard Robertson, Joseph Girard, Bob Milasch, and Franklyn Farnum. Note that director Edward Laemmle has been largely forgotten by film history, but he has a VERY interesting biography! He is the nephew of Carl Laemmle, who persuaded him to leave his electrical engineering career in 1915 and join him at his recently opened Universal Studios. He started as an assistant director, mainly under John Ford. In 1917, he went to New Guinea to produce a movie about the natives there, and was shipwrecked, and spent two years among the Kia Kia cannibals! This adventure was re-created in the movie "Shipwrecked Among Cannibals", which became the first million dollar movie for Universal Studios. Edward Laemmle went on to direct roughly 50 movies, and had many famous assistants, including William Wyler! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good to very good. There is some staining, tattering, creasing, and small paper loss around the edges of the poster (mostly in the blank borders) and the poster is very lightly rippled (meaning it does not lay completely flat). The poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition, especially considering its age, and if one chose to have it restored it would look fantastic with very little paint restoration needed!
