An Undated (probably 1947) Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Riders of Destiny, the 1933 Robert N. Bradbury romantic cowboy western ("A great western star in a Whirlwind of Action!") starring John Wayne (as Singin' Sandy), Cecilia Parker, Forrest Taylor, George 'Gabby' Hayes, Al St. John (billed as "Al 'Fuzzy' St. John"), and Yakima Canutt. Note that this was the beginning of the era of "singing cowboys", and they tried to make Big John one of them by calling his character "Singin' Sandy" and having him sing a (obviously dubbed in) song, but fortunately, they didn't persist in this effort! 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 undated, but it has a litho number, and comparing this number to our massive database of litho numbers taken from actual movie posters, we can determine that this poster is almost certainly from 1947! Apparently, some company in 1947 re-released several or many of the John Wayne Lone Star western films, and instead of doing what most companies did, which was to create a single stock poster for all of them, with blank areas or overprinted titles, this company created a different poster with different design for each of the movies they re-released. To date, we have auctioned posters from a number of the Lone Star titles, and they may well have re-released all of them. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.
