An Undated (probably 1970s) Re-Release Theatrical Folded International One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27 1/2" x 39 3/4" [70 x 101 cm]) (Learn More) Howard Hawks' Rio Bravo, the classic 1959 Howard Hawks romantic cowboy western ("You've seen nothing like 'em together...and in the heat and hate of Rio Bravo nothing can tear 'em apart!"; "They caught all hell - and hurled it back - at Rio Bravo!"; "...and Dean and Ricky sing too! 'My Rifle, My Pony and Me' 'Rio Bravo' 'Cindy'"; "Hear Dean and Ricky Sing..."; "John Wayne The big guy with the battered hat... and Dean Martin the ragged woman-wrecked castoff called Dude... and Ricky Nelson the rockin' baby-faced gunfisted kid... And time was running out through bullet holes at 'Rio Bravo'"; "Dean and Ricky sing, too!"; about a western town where the sheriff arrests the son of the richest man in town, and the family tries to break him out, and the sheriff only has an old man, a drunk, and a teenager to back him up!) starring John Wayne ("The big guy with the battered hat..."; as John T. Chance), Dean Martin ("Dude - the wreckage piled up by a fast woman..."; "the ragged woman-wrecked castoff called Dude..."), Ricky Nelson ("The rockin' baby-faced gunfisted Kid..."; as Colorado), Angie Dickinson ("Feathers.. The one girl who could give the big guy a hard time..."; as a female professional poker player!), Walter Brennan ("Old Stumpy... no teeth... one leg... but all the rest was guts..."; Brennan really stole the show in this movie!), Ward Bond ("Wheeler... a chunk of solid granite now crumbling with age..."), John Russell (billed as "John 'Lawman' Russell"; "Burdette... he was the knife poised at the throat of Rio Bravo..."), Pedro Gonzalez Gonzalez, and Estelita Rodriguez. Note that many people consider this to be virtually a "perfect" western, and it is surely one of the best John Wayne movies there is! Also note that in 1967, Howard Hawks and John Wayne virtually remade this movie as "El Dorado", with Robert Mitchum and James Caan replacing Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson, but that movie pales in comparison to this one.

Important Added Info: Note that we have only auctioned one example of this poster before, but what exactly is it? It has been trimmed and it now measures 27 1/2" x 39 3/4" [70 x 101 cm]. We auctioned it in 2018 as an "international" style one-sheet (meaning it was printed in the U.S. for use in non-U.S. countries), but it measures large than a one-sheet, does not have a ratings box, and it is not printed particularly well. This example has foreign writing on the back, and this may not even be a U.s. poster, but we cannot tell for certain. If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: fair to good. The poster has been trimmed (see above and our image). It has many tape stains around the edges (the original tape was not used for any restoration purpose) and there are ink smudges at upper left. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid and please do not bid unless you can accept the defects described above, or you are willing to pay to have them properly restored (and as noted above please do not bid on this poster if you are not comfortable as to its origins.)
