A 1953 Re-release Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36") (Learn More) Lone Star Vigilantes, the 1942 Wallace Fox Texas cowboy western ("Two big stars in one gun-blazing western!") starring William 'Wild Bill' Elliott (as Wild Bill Hickok), Tex Ritter, Frank Mitchell, Virginia Carpenter, and Luana Walters. Note that in 1938, Bill Elliot was cast as the title character in the serial The Great Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok. The serial was such a success, that Elliot portrayed Hickok in 12 other films, and even when he was not playing Hickok, his characters were often called "Wild Bill" (such as Wild Bill Saunders & Wild Bill Boone). Eventually, Elliot became so associated with "Wild Bill", that he was cast as a character named "Wild Bill Elliott" in the 1943 film Calling Wild Bill Elliott. In all, he essentially played a character of himself in over 30 films, often with both his credit and role listed as "Wild Bill Elliott"! 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 the poster says "A COLUMBIA REPRINT" in the lower center. This was a terminology used by Columbia Pictures at this time for some re-releases, and it has caused some collectors to be confused! This poster is the original poster from the 1953 re-release of this movie, and is NOT a "reprint"! Also note that this poster has never been machine folded! Most insert posters were folded twice horizontally right off of the printing press. It is very difficult to find an unfolded copy of most inserts, especially from before 1970! Condition: very good.
