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 NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this movie was originally in 3-D. The studios created both 3D and 2D posters and lobby cards (the 2-D posters and lobby cards were for theaters that lacked the 3-D equipment). This lobby card is from the "3-D" release. Note that this card has been "gel backed". What does that mean? It means that a talented restorer backed the card onto a gel material, and they then performed restoration to the above defects, and then removed the gel backing, and afterward the card still looks and feels like an original card (and it is!), with no backing at all. Many collectors prefer this method of restoration to paperbacking or linenbacking, because with those methods the card no longer looks like it was not backed. Gel backing can't be used with cards that have major paper loss or other major defects, but for the cards it can be used on, it is really an excellent method of restoration! Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. What IS gelbacking? Learn More Condition: good to very good. The card had tiny staple holes, tears, and tiny paper loss around the edges. Overall, the card was in good to condition prior to restoration. A talented restorer gel backed the card and performed restoration to the above defects. You can see signs of the restoration, and the defects, but the card displays pretty well.
