Venturini Texas/Mexico south-of-the-border cowboy western ("Wells Fargo & Co's. Express $1000 Reward for information concerning The Llano Kid"; "Adventure!"; "Romance!"; "Music!"; "Based on the Story 'A Double-Dyed Deceiver' by O. Henry"; about a couple of a con artists who persuade a Texan bandit to impersonate the long-lost son of a rich Mexican widow, and they pan on cutting him out, but he figures out a better way to double-cross them!) starring Tito Guizar (in the title role as Enrique Ibarra aka The Llano Kid), Gale Sondergaard, Alan Mowbray, Jane Clayton, Emma Dunn, and Minor Watson. Note that this O. Henry story was the basis for the 1930 movie "The Texan" starring Gary Cooper and the plot was also partially used in other movies! 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: This was printed by Associated Displays Corporation which was a company based in New York City, and it has an artwork image, while the studio-issued one-sheet has a much less interesting photographic image. Before it was discovered by noted poster dealer/historian Walter Reuben, collectors did not know the name of this company (and thought it to be located in the Midwest), and it is often referred to as the "other company" (and we will continue to refer to it that way, since collectors know it that way). From 1936 to roughly 1941, this company printed its own one-sheets and lobby card sets (and a very few inserts, half-sheets, three-sheets, 40x60s and stills) for three major studio movies (Warner Brothers, Paramount and United Artists, but no other studios). The items almost always feature a tiny legal disclaimer and cast credits only. The posters and lobby cards are from the original release of the movie, and almost always have completely different artwork from the regular studio release. They did this by combining elements from different film scenes onto one poster or card. Sometimes, "other company" posters have images that are the equal of those from the regular studio release posters. Note also that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 27" x 39" [69 x 99 cm]. Condition: fair to good. The poster has creases, scuffs and tiny surface paper loss scattered throughout with a 5" tear in the right of the bottom border and separation in the bottom of the vertical foldline and both have tape on the back. Otherwise no restoration was performed. Learn More about condition grades
