Auction History Result 6p109 BILLY THE KID WC '30 King Vidor, great artwork of Johnny Mack Brown on horse with gun! Date Sold 8/18/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22") (Learn More) Billy the Kid, the 1930 King Vidor outlaw cowboy western ("All talking picture!") starring Johnny Mack Brown (billed as "John Mack Brown"; in the title role as William H. 'Billy the Kid' Bonney), Wallace Beery (as Pat Garrett), Kay Johnson, Karl Dane, and Wyndham Standing. Note that this was the first screen version of this classic story, and in this version, Billy the Kid is best friends with Sheriff Pat Garrett, and that story line was reused in many future versions, including in 1941's Billy the Kid with Robert Taylor and in 1941's The Outlaw (with Jack Buetel, but it wasn't released until 1946 because of censorship issues with Jane Russell). 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 card measures 14" x 22" but has next-to-no left or right blank borders, but it has NOT been trimmed (this was done at a time when MGM was experimenting with having as few borders as possible). This window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: good to very good. There are some smudges and faint stains scattered throughout the card, more so in the background areas. They are not that distracting, and of course, any restorer could touch them up, with or without re-backing the card. Learn More about condition grades
