Hondo, the 1953 John Farrow 3-D (3D; 3-Dimension) romantic Native American Indian cowboy western ("They called him 'Hondo'"; "First she was afraid he'd stay -- then she was afraid he wouldn't."; "Heat of the plains in his veins... the gunfighter's stain on his name, and now a woman's life in his hands!"; "Hot blooded with the heat of the plains that bred him, silent as gunsmoke, a stranger to all but the surly dog at this side..."; "... They called him 'Hondo'"; based on the novel by Louis L'Amour; a complicated story of a part Indian cowboy who kills a man and then feels obligated to help provide for that man's widow and child, and there is a Native American chief who is interested in the child, and much more happens!) starring John Wayne (in the title role as Hondo Lane), Geraldine Page (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; billed as "and introducing Geraldine Page"), Ward Bond, Michael Pate, James Arness, Rodolfo Acosta, Leo Gordon, and Lee Aaker

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that we have previously auctioned five examples of this Argentinean poster, but the last one was 10 years ago! Also note that this movie was originally in 3-D. The studios created both 3D and 2D posters and lobby cards (the 2-D posters and lobby cards were for theaters that lacked the 3-D equipment). This poster is from the "3-D" release.

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had darkened somewhat, more so along the folds and in the border. It had small paper loss at the crossfolds and a foreign stamp at lower right. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above.
