Auction History Result 9m0783 THREE TEXAS STEERS linen 1sh 1939 portrait of John Wayne as one of the Three Mesquiteers! Date Sold 8/8/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Three Texas Steers, the 1939 George Sherman circus cowboy western ("Based on characters created by William Colt MacDonald") starring The Three Mesquiteers (John Wayne, Ray 'Crash' Corrigan and Max Terhune), Carole Landis, Ralph Graves, Roscoe Ates, and Ray 'Crash' Corrigan (as the gorilla). Note that oddly, the plot of this movie included a beautiful young circus owner, which allowed for the inclusion of the stock "gorilla" that seemed to appear in lots of 1930s and 1940s movies, plus "little people". Also note that the beautiful young circus owner is played by Carole Landis, in her first real role (after two more similar roles, she made "One Million B.C.", and became a major star)! Note that Crash Corrigan made a REALLY wise investment in the 1930s, when he bought a "gorilla suit". In many of the movies in the 1940s where there is a fake gorilla, it is played by Crash Corrigan, no doubt because he could supply the suit! What is really impressive about it this time is that in this case, Corrigan was one of the main stars of the movie, so not only did he have to wear a gorilla suit for some scenes, but he had to do it in between scenes where he was one of the Three Mesquiteers!
