Auction History Result v806 OKLAHOMA KID one-sheet movie poster R43 James Cagney, Bogart Date Sold 1/25/2005Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably 1943) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) The Oklahoma Kid, the 1939 Lloyd Bacon cowboy western ("From an original story by Edward E. Paramore & Wally Klein"; about two Oklahoma families, one of whom wants to bring law and order to the territory, and the other who is an outlaw gang and wants to keep law and order far away) starring James Cagney (in the title role as Jim Kincaid), Humphrey Bogart, Rosemary Lane, Donald Crisp, Harvey Stephens, Al J. Jennings, and Ward Bond. Note that James Cagney was a major Warner Bros. star at this time, but Bogart was not considered to be, in spite of his success in "The Petrified Forest" two years earlier. So Cagney got to play the "good guy", and Bogart played the "bad guy" (dressed all in black!), and Bogart was not pictured on the original release posters. When the movie was re-released in 1943 (this date is confirmed by the IMDb and handwriting that we saw on the back of a re-release poster), Bogart WAS pictured on the advertising, because he too was now a big star! 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: Note that the poster is water stained throughout and has major paper loss in the top right corner, as well as numerous other problems! Also note that on the original release of this movie in 1939, the advertising only featured James Cagney, as Bogart was not yet a star of equal prominence. By the time of the movie's re-releases, Bogart had become Cagney's equal, and so they are equally billed and pictured on the re-release posters! Condition: good to very good.
