An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Pursued, the 1947 Raoul Walsh cowboy western ("Produced by United States Pictures for Warners"; "Up out of the land of the lawless storms, this story of love and lust for revenge!"; "A Love as Bold, as Beautiful, as Wild as the Hills that Hid Their Story!"; "Heart-moving magnitude are two wonderful stars in the story of a lonely caress - a story filled with the fears and all the wild fury of the West!"; moody and psychological; kind of a film noir western!) starring Teresa Wright, Robert Mitchum, Judith Anderson, Dean Jagger, Alan Hale Sr., and John Rodney (billed as "and introducing John Rodney"). Note that this movie was produced by "United States Pictures" for Warner Bros. (that's how the credit reads on the poster). United States Pictures was a company founded the year before this movie was made by Milton Sperling, who was coincidentally Harry Warner's son-in-law, and it allowed him to produce movies using Warner Bros. resources and studio, and then sell them the completed movie! It made a number of movies between 1946 and the early 1960s. Of course, in later years, this setup became much more common, as more and more independent production companies made movies that they then released through the major studios, but this was one of the very first.
