Auction History Result M229 MELODY TRAIL linen three-sheet movie poster R43 Gene Autry, western Date Sold 4/27/2004Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A 1943 Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Three-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 41" x 81") (Learn More) Melody Trail, the 1935 Joseph Kane singing cowboy western musical ("Radio's singing cowboy in a roundup of melody"; "From the Story by Sherman Lowe & Elizabeth Burbridge") starring Gene Autry, Buck (billed as "Buck the Wonder Dog"), Ann Rutherford (in her third movie role!), Smiley Burnette, Wade Boteler, Champion (Gene's horse), and Willy Castello. Note that the dog in this movie was Buck, the very same dog who starred in Call of the Wild with Clark Gable this same year. This was his first movie after that, which is why he got such great billing. But alas, he only appeared in a total of 8 movies, and his last one was in 1940 as a "dog in a pet store", after which we don't know what happened to him.

This poster was linenbacked, and the restorer did a good job, but you can see signs of the restoration from inches away (since most people look at posters framed on a wall from at least a few feet away, we don't feel this is a defect, but we feel it should be noted). See below for this poster's pre-restoration condition (we are the only major auction company we know of that shares this information with our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). very good. Poster had small paper loss on some foldlines and at some crossfolds. It had minor smudges and creases throughout, as well as some tears on some foldlines and some minor border defects, including many pinholes in each corner. The poster is pretty well linenbacked, and the restored defects are not very noticeable. Learn More about condition grades
