The very first adaptation was by Broncho Billy Anderson in 1915's "Broncho Billy and the Baby", followed by another version a year later under the source novel's name, followed by a third version called "Marked Men" in 1919. That movie was remade twice, both times under the source novel's name, in 1936, and in 1949, that time with John Wayne, and it was not directly remade again, although other movies borrowed elements of the plot.

Our consignor is a longtime dealer who acquired this signed item among many other purchases in his inventory, and he does not have a certificate of authenticity, but we believe the signature to likely be authentic. Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 14" x 19" [36 x 48 cm]. Note that the window card was folded across the center at one time. Because the poster has condition issues, we don't want to re-fold the window card prior to mailing, because we believe that re-folding the window card would potentially lessen its condition even more. If you specifically request it, we will re-fold this window card, but you will not be able to return it.

On non-signed items, we give a "lifetime guarantee" on everything we auction, but on signed items, we give the above modified guarantee of 30 days after the auction closes. Condition: good. There are tape repairs on the back of three corners and tape on the back of the left 3" of the middle of the card, where it was separated along the fold. Learn More about condition grades
