Auction History Result 7t308 DARK COMMAND 1sh R52 great artwork of John Wayne, Walter Pidgeon, Claire Trevor! Date Sold 6/2/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A 1952 Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Dark Command, the 1940 Raoul Walsh Kansas post-Civil War cowboy western ("A drama of undying love"; about a band of renegade Confederate guerrillas who go around looting; loosely based on the real William Quantrill; they even named the character "William Contrell"!) starring Claire Trevor, John Wayne, Walter Pidgeon, Roy Rogers, George 'Gabby' Hayes, Porter Hall, Marjorie Main, and Raymond Walburn. Note that even though Roy Rogers had starred in many B-westerns at the time of the making of this movie, he was fourth billed, and was not pictured on any of the posters (except the insert and the style B 1SH [where he is barely visible!]), or the title lobby card (although he was pictured on one of the publicity stills, perhaps Republic was trying to distinguish this movie as an "A" picture, and did not want to give prominent billing to Roy Rogers, who they perceived as a "B" western star?). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that when this movie was first released in 1940, Republic chose to print a black and green poster. When it was released in 1952, they made a full-color re-release one-sheet, so this is the rare case where the first release poster is duotone and the re-release is full color (quite often it is the other way around). Condition: good. There are many tears and some tiny paper loss on the top horizontal fold. There are pinholes around the edges and a few scattered in the poster. Learn More about condition grades
