Appears in John Wayne Movie Posters at Auction CATALOG SOLD OUT The image at right appears in the auction catalog we published as shown above and was sold long ago and we do NOT have it available for purchase. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Texas Cyclone, the 1932 D. Ross Lederman cowboy western (about a man who shows up in a small town in Texas, and everybody thinks he is somebody who disappeared from there five years ago, including the man's wife, but he insists he is someone else, but he agrees to impersonate the missing man to help the wife stop outlaws who are trying to take her ranch; he does so, and at the end, it is revealed that he actually WAS the missing man, and that he was suffering from amnesia!) starring Tim McCoy (billed as "Daredevil Tim McCoy"), Shirley Grey, Wheeler Oakman, John Wayne (in an early role), and Wallace MacDonald. Note that the author of this screenplay surely was familiar with the case of Martin Guerre, the Frenchman who reappeared in similar circumstances in 1556, because he "borrowed" many of the elements of that story for this movie. Also note that John Wayne has a small role, playing the only one of the ranch hands who remained loyal to his former boss' wife after the boss disappeared (this was one of several supporting roles John Wayne played in Tim McCoy westerns before becoming a star).

Important Added Info: Note that this movie was made before John Wayne was important enough to receive more than 4th billing! Condition: very good. 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!). good. The poster had tears and creases along many foldlines, and some areas of paper loss in the borders (there was a fairly large area in the middle of the right blank border and in the top right corner just extending into the edge of the green background). There was paper loss at the middle crossfold and a 1" x 1/2" piece of paper loss at the bottom crossfold. The person who restored the poster did a nice job restoring the above defects, but you can still somewhat see them from close-up (mostly the restoration along the foldlines).
