Auction History Result y236 SOUTH OF THE RIO GRANDE linen Swedish movie poster '32 Buck Jones Date Sold 9/14/2004Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Swedish Movie Poster (measures approximately 28" x 39") (Learn More) South of the Rio Grande, the 1932 Lambert Hillyer south-of-the-border Mexican cowboy western ("Fighting for love and life!"; about a man who seeks to avenge his brother's suicide after a manipulative woman and her accomplice swindle his family!) starring Buck Jones (billed as "Fearless fighting Buck Jones"), Mona Maris, Doris Hill, Philo McCullough, and George J. Lewis. Note that Buck Jones' white horse was named Silver (just like The Lone Ranger's later on!), and Silver made 73 movies with Buck Jones from 1922 until Jones' death in 1942 in the tragic Cocoanut Grove fire. But oddly, Silver was almost never billed on the posters for Buck Jones' movies as so many other famous horses (most especially Tom Mix's Tony) were! Note that many people consider the one-sheet from this movie (with a striking close up image of Buck Jones with a sombrero against a purple background) to be one of the finest cowboy movie posters ever!

Important Added Info: This Swedish poster measures approximately 28" x 39" and is linenbacked. Condition: fine. This poster was linenbacked and during the backing process, its defects were repaired and it now looks really great! See below for its pre-restoration defects (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster was in quite nice condition prior to linenbacking with only minor border wear. It was very nicely linenbacked as well, and looks great! Note that this great image is not marred by any foldlines, as this poster was never folded! Learn More about condition grades
