Auction History Result 8w1208 SHE WORE A YELLOW RIBBON 1sh 1949 wonderful art of John Wayne & Joanne Dru, John Ford Date Sold 5/27/2021 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) She Wore A Yellow Ribbon, the classic 1949 John Ford romantic U.S. Cavalry cowboy western ("Epic Frontier Drama, John Ford's New and Finest Picture of the Fighting Cavalry!"; "Brave in every line! Thrilling in every scene! Romantic in every feature!") starring John Wayne, Joanne Dru, John Agar, Ben Johnson, Harry Carey Jr., Victor McLaglen, Mildred Natwick, George O'Brien, and Arthur Shields. Note that George O'Brien had been a World War I soldier and Navy boxing champion, and after he left the Navy, he worked as a stuntman, and in 1924, John Ford picked him to star in his historic epic "The Iron Horse". He became a major 1920s star, and worked consistently in the 1930s, and then he re-enlisted at the start of World War II, when he was over 40 years old! After the war, his old friend and mentor John Ford gave him parts in three westerns, including this one! Note that the song that is the basis of the title of this movie was written for this movie (and became very popular in the decades after), but variations of it as a song and poem had been around for four centuries! The first copyrighted version of this song was in 1917, and it was similar to this one. The yellow ribbon (originally "yeller") referred to the yellow neckerchief worn by members of the U.S. Cavalry in the 1800s, although earlier versions referred to different yellow ribbons. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Harold Von Schmidt Condition: good. The poster was slashed with a purple crayon in a large "s-shape" at left (from the upper left area of and through the left center credits, to just right of Wayne's chin) and there is some pencil drawing in Agar's face in the inset art at lower right (see our image). There are tack holes around the edges and some tiny pinholes along portions of the vertical foldline and a tiny amount of the lower blank border was folded back at one time. There is tiny paper loss at the center crossfold and there is some vertical separation and paper loss at the bottom crossfold. The poster is otherwise "all there" and still is colorful, and after linenbacking with proper restoration to the above-mentioned defects the poster will display well, but please see our super-sized image and bear in mind the poster's defects and cost of restoration before placing a bid.
