An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Thirty by Forty Movie Poster (30x40; measures 27 1/2" x 38" [70 x 97 cm]) (Learn More) The Left Handed Gun, the 1958 Arthur Penn outlaw cowboy western ("This is William Bonney, a juvenile 'tough' from the back-alleys of New York... a teenager wanted dead or alive throughout the West."; "This is the screen's first real story of the strange teen-age desperado known to legend as 'Billy the Kid'..."; "'I don't run, I don't hide, I go where I want, I do what I want.'"; "All of a sudden, just for the 'kicks' Billy would slip down to Mexico...") starring Paul Newman (as Billy the Kid), Lita Milan, John Dehner, Hurd Hatfield, James Congdon, James Best, Colin Keith-Johnston, John Dierkes, Bob Anderson, and Wally Brown. Note that this film was originally intended to star James Dean, but after he died, the part went to Newman. 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 this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 27 1/2" x 38" [70 x 97 cm]. Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Also note that this 30x40 is a silkscreen printed poster with an actual black & white photo which has neatly been "tipped in" (glued to the upper left of the poster). This is how almost all 30x40s were made at this time! Paper banners were also commonly made in this way at that time, and it makes for a striking poster, and few people would realize that it is not printed on a single piece, unless they examine the poster closely. Note that the silkscreen portions of this poster usually pick up scuff marks far more easily than other posters of this period (this was caused by the method of silkscreen printing, and is very common on these posters, and is not considered a major defect, unless it is very noticeable or distracting). Condition: good. The edges of the poster have been trimmed (no doubt to make the poster fit in a one-sheet display). There are creases, smudges, and scuff marks throughout the poster and there are several tack holes scattered throughout (more so around the edges). There is a 3" tear in the right of the top edge of the poster that has been repaired with tape from the back. Learn More about condition grades
