A 1958 Re-release Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) The Great Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok, the 1938 Mack V. Wright & Sam Nelson Native American Indian cowboy western serial ("A Columbia Serial"; "A Columbia Chapter Play"; "Adventure flames out of the golden West!"; "Look out... Injun!"; "Six-guns blaze new thrill trails in the winning of the West!") starring William 'Wild Bill' Elliott (billed as "Gordon Elliot"; in the title role as Wild Bill Hickok), Monte Blue, Carole Wayne, Frankie Darro, Roscoe Ates, Chief Thunder Cloud, Ray Mala (billed as "Mala"), Frank Lackteen, Kermit Maynard, Dickie Jones, and Art Mix. Note that this serial was such a success, that Elliott portrayed Hickok in 12 other films, and even when he was not playing Hickok, his characters were often called "Wild Bill" (such as Wild Bill Saunders & Wild Bill Boone). Eventually, Elliot became so associated with "Wild Bill", that he was cast as a character named "Wild Bill Elliott" in the 1943 film Calling Wild Bill Elliott. In all, he essentially played a character of himself in over 30 films, often with both his credit and role listed as "Wild Bill Elliott"! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Important Added Info: Note that this is a "stock" poster created by Columbia for use for all chapters of their "The Great Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok" serial. Theaters would order this poster, which had a large blank rectangle in the bottom left. They would be sent a series of large paper snipes with the titles of specific chapters of the serial, and they could paste in each snipe as needed, thus getting many posters for the price of one. There were also stock posters from this serial that were overprinted with the names of the specific chapters, for theaters willing to purchase an entire set of them. This particular stock poster has a white rectangle with the chapter title written in Spanish in red marker. Condition: fair to good. There is much tattering along the foldlines and around the edges of the poster with some tape repairs on the back that now bleed through to the front. There is marker writing in the blank area at lower left. Learn More about condition grades
