Auction History Result 1h0507 RETURN OF FRANK JAMES style A 1/2sh 1940 Henry Fonda, Gene Tierney, Jackie Cooper, Fritz Lang! Date Sold 12/26/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Style A Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) The Return of Frank James, the 1940 Fritz Lang outlaw cowboy western sequel ("Again the name of James strikes terror over all the west! More spectacular and exciting than the unforgettable 'Jesse James'!") starring Henry Fonda (in the title role as Frank James), Gene Tierney (in her first movie role!), Jackie Cooper, Henry Hull, John Carradine, J. Edward Bromberg, Donald Meek, Eddie Collins, George Barbier, Matthew 'Stymie' Beard, and Ernest Whitman. Note that "Jesse James" had been one of 20th Century-Fox's biggest hits of 1939, but of course, Tyrone Power Jr. died at the end of the movie, so the only way they could make a sequel was having it star Henry Fonda, reprising his role as Jesse's brother Frank!

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned four examples of this half-sheet, and the last example has now been reconsigned to us, so it is still only one of four examples we have ever auctioned! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thicker paper backing, it CAN'T be sent rolled (someone could conceivably roll it or try to do so, but we think it would have a strong chance of lessening its condition, so we will only send it in a very large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage). What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfold and some creases and tiny bits of surface paper loss on parts of the horizontal fold. It had some pinholes around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but it was roughly handled after it was backed, which has given it some tiny creases in two corners, and tiny surface paper loss in the center of the top and bottom borders, with tiny surface paper loss to the right of the center of the top blank border.
