Hondo, the 1953 John Farrow 3-D (3D; 3-Dimension) romantic Native American Indian cowboy western ("They called him 'Hondo'"; "First she was afraid he'd stay -- then she was afraid he wouldn't."; "Heat of the plains in his veins... the gunfighter's stain on his name, and now a woman's life in his hands!"; "Hot blooded with the heat of the plains that bred him, silent as gunsmoke, a stranger to all but the surly dog at this side..."; "... They called him 'Hondo'"; based on the novel by Louis L'Amour; a complicated story of a part Indian cowboy who kills a man and then feels obligated to help provide for that man's widow and child, and there is a Native American chief who is interested in the child, and much more happens!) starring John Wayne (in the title role as Hondo Lane), Geraldine Page (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; billed as "and introducing Geraldine Page"), Ward Bond, Michael Pate, James Arness, Rodolfo Acosta, Leo Gordon, and Lee Aaker

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had paper loss at the top crossfolds, all three of which fell in the yellow background, with creases, smudges, tears, and one more area of paper loss in that top fold. It had a few small tears and creases on some of the other folds, and some smudges scattered in the rest of the poster. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
