An Original (re-titled "Charlie Chan in Texas" for this Belgian release) Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Belgian Movie Poster (measures 14" x 23") (Learn More) The Golden Eye, the 1948 William Beaudine Texas Asian detective mystery crime thriller ("Suggested by Earl Derr Biggers' character") starring Roland Winters ("as Charlie Chan"), Mantan Moreland, Victor Sen Yung (billed as "Victor Sen Young"; as Tommy Chan), Wanda McKay, Tim Ryan, Evelyn Brent, and Ralph Dunn. Note that the very first Charlie Chan movie was "House Without a Key" in 1925, with George Kuwa as Chan. In 1927, "The Chinese Parrot" (directed by Paul Leni) starred Sojin Kamiyama as Chan. In 1929 came the third movie, "Behind That Curtain", starring E.L. Park as Charlie Chan. 1931 brought "Charlie Chan Carries On", starring Warner Oland in the first of many movies with him as the Asian detective, and he was later replaced by Sidney Toler and then Roland Winters (there would ultimately be 47 Charlie Chan movies!). Of course, Charlie Chan is one of the most memorable literary creations ever, from author Earl Derr Biggers, but because politically correct-minded people have viewed the character as outdated, the movies are rarely shown, which is a shame!

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 blank borders of the poster were neatly trimmed off, and they were expertly replaced by the linenbacker (it was extremely well done and I doubt hardly any collectors would realize it). The image area was in nice condition. It was folded across the middle and there were some minor fold defects. The poster was well backed, and looks quite nice! Learn More about condition grades
