An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) The Fugitive, the 1947 John Ford Mexican/U.S. south-of-the-border crime melodrama ("Betrayed ...By men of evil for a handful of silver! Befriended ...By a woman, who alone dared shield him from doom!"; "Based on the novel by Graham Greene"; set in Central America, about a priest who is wanted by the authorities who had denounced Christianity) starring Henry Fonda, Dolores Del Rio, Pedro Armendariz, J. Carrol Naish, Leo Carrillo, Ward Bond, Robert Armstrong, and John Qualen. Note that this movie deals with all Central American characters, but director John Ford chose to cast a non-Latino actor, Henry Fonda, in the lead role, thus diminishing the power of the movie. This reluctance on Hollywood's part to use Latino actors in lead roles continued for many years. In 1961, there was a new version of this movie, filmed for television under the title of the source novel, "The Power and the Glory", and once again, an Anglo actor (Laurence Olivier) played the lead role!

The poster had small paper loss at the bottom two crossfolds and some minor wear on the foldlines. There were three areas of tape bleed through on the back of the poster, in and near the credits area (one at the start of Del Rio's credit, one at the end of her first name, and one in the background to the right of Fonda's credit). There was a 4" x 1" area of paper loss in the right end of the top border, but it was blank white paper only. Other than the above exact defects, the poster was in pretty nice condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see slight signs of the restoration in the credits area (although it is truly not very noticeable or distracting). Learn More about condition grades
