Auction History Result 8g891 SKY DRAGON 1/2sh 1949 Roland Winters as Charlie Chan, Keye Luke, Mantan, Noel Neill! Date Sold 8/2/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) The Sky Dragon, the 1949 Lesley Selander Asian detective mystery crime thriller ("Suggested by Earl Derr Bigger's character") starring Roland Winters ("as Charlie Chan"), Keye Luke (as Lee Chan), Mantan Moreland, Noel Neill, Tim Ryan, Iris Adrian, Elena Verdugo, Emmett Vogan, Milburn Stone, Lyle Talbot, and Louise Franklin. Note that the very first Charlie Chan movie was "House Without a Key" in 1925, with George Kuwa as Chan. In 1927, "The Chinese Parrot" (directed by Paul Leni) starred Sojin Kamiyama as Chan. In 1929 came the third movie, "Behind That Curtain", starring E.L. Park as Charlie Chan. 1931 brought "Charlie Chan Carries On", starring Warner Oland in the first of many movies with him as the Asian detective, and he was later replaced by Sidney Toler and then Roland Winters (there would ultimately be 47 Charlie Chan movies!). Of course, Charlie Chan is one of the most memorable literary creations ever, from author Earl Derr Biggers, but because politically correct-minded people have viewed the character as outdated, the movies are rarely shown, which is a shame!

Important Added Info: 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. Condition: fair. The poster is in much lesser condition. Portions of the poster are faded and it has much staining and many creases, smudges and scuff marks scattered throughout (especially at center). It has significant creases, defects, areas of paper loss and tears of varying lengths along parts of some edges (partially repaired with tape from the back) and in the crossfold. There are a few other defects that can be clearly seen in our super-sized image. The poster is in urgent need of restoration, and certainly a competent restorer could repair the defects described above, but please bear in mind the cost of restoration before placing a bid.
