Auction History Result 7z682 HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES 25x37 1sh R1975 Sherlock Holmes, artwork from the original poster! Date Sold 8/1/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A 1975 Re-Release Theatrical Unfolded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 24 1/2" x 36 3/4" [62 x 93 cm]) (Learn More) Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles, the 1939 Sidney Lanfield crime detective mystery thriller (based on the novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) starring Richard Greene, Basil Rathbone (as Sherlock Holmes), Wendy Barrie, Nigel Bruce (as Dr. Watson), Lionel Atwill, John Carradine, Barlowe Borland, Beryl Mercer, Morton Lowry, Ralph Forbes, and Eily Malyon. Note that this was the very first of the Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes movies, produced by 20th Century-Fox. It was followed by a same year sequel, "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes", also from 20th Century-Fox. Fox did not make anymore of these, but in 1942, Universal bought the rights to the character and released "Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror" (which brought Holmes out of the Victorian age and into the present, which greatly reduced production costs), and they quickly turned out a number of sequels in what proved to be an extremely popular series.

Important Added Info: Note that this poster was created for a 1975 theatrical re-release by a Seattle-based film distributor called Specialty Films. It was created from a collector's copy of an original one-sheet with the full knowledge and approval of Twentieth Century Fox. The poster was specifically printed in a smaller size to distinguish it from the original 1939 one-sheet. Specialty Films also produced a black & white version of the one-sheet and a black & white window card. Because the film was re-released in smaller "art house" theaters, these posters are far more rare than posters for major studio releases. Condition: good to very good. The poster has some glue stains on back at upper right that very slightly bleed through to the front in Greene's art but it is not very noticeable or distracting at all except upon close inspection. It has tiny blank border loss at upper right. The poster was never folded and is otherwise in nice condition, and it will certainly display quite well on its new owner's wall!
