An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Movie Paper Banner (measures 24" x 82" [61 x 208 cm]) (Learn More) Old Yeller, the classic 1957 Robert Stevenson Walt Disney family relationship canine dog melodrama ("All the heart, all the excitement of a great frontier adventure!"; "Walt Disney's most dramatic motion picture!"; "Based on the book 'Old Yeller' by Fred Gipson"; about a family whose father has to go off on a cattle drive, leaving a mother and two sons, and the older son has to "take his father's place", and he finds a dog that he initially hates, but grows to love!) starring Dorothy McGuire, Fess Parker, Jeff York, Tommy Kirk, Kevin Corcoran, Beverly Washburn (best remembered for her role in this movie!), Chuck Connors, and Spike (in the title role as "Old Yeller"). Note that Spike, the dog that played the title role, had previously appeared in the low budget B-horror movie "The She-Creature". Oddly, this movie did not lead to major stardom (or even starring roles) for Spike, and while he did appear in a total of 11 movies and TV shows over a 12 year period, none were very memorable, and he retired in 1969!

Important Added Info: Note that we have only once before auctioned this paper banner (and now that very same poster has been reconsigned to us for this auction, so it is still the only example we have ever auctioned!). Note that this banner is a silkscreen printed poster with an actual black & white photo which has neatly been "tipped in" (glued to the left side of the poster). Paper banners were sometimes 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). Also note that this poster is very long, but because it is not very wide, it can be sent in a regular size tube. However, it can NOT be combined with other rolled posters, and must be either sent by itself (or combined with other items that are exactly like this). Please bear this in mind before bidding on this poster. Condition: good to very good. The banner has some scuffs scattered throughout the title and credits area, typical of paper banners of this era.
