Ellery Queen and the Murder Ring, the 1941 James P. Hogan detective crime mystery thriller ("Watch radio and fiction's ace amateur sleuth run rings around a murder ring!"; "See the ace amateur sleuth of radio and fiction solve the strange slaying of Wall Street's richest widow!"; "That's why Nikki's even dizzier than usual!"; "Ellery's breathless - and you'll be, too!"; "...and this flatfoot's having foot trouble!"; "See him solve the slaying of Wall Street's rich widow!"; "Did the doctor order a killing?"; "Did the son commit murder... for his mother's millions?"; "Did this nurse do away with the woman she hated?"; Did the mob muscle in on murder in the surgery?" It's Ellery's biggest case in years... Your biggest thrill of the season!"; "Story by Ellery Queen"; based on the classic character created by Frederic Dannay and Manfred Lee, who together wrote under the pseudonym Ellery Queen) starring Ralph Bellamy (in the title role "as Ellery Queen"), Margaret Lindsay ("as Nikki Porter"), Charles Grapewin (billed as "Charley Grapewin"), Mona Barrie, Paul Hurst, James Burke, and Blanche Yurka. Note that this classic series of novels first came to the screen in 1935, as a Monogram movie, called "The Spanish Cape Mystery", starring Donald Cook in the lead role. They followed it with a sequel the next year, repl4acing Cook with Eddie Quillan. Neither movie did that well at the box office, and Monogram dropped the series. Columbia bought the rights in 1940, when they made "Ellery Queen, Master Detective", with Ralph Bellamy taking over in the lead role, and six more movies were made the next two years, and then the series stopped again. A TV series "The Adventures of Ellery Queen", began in 1950 with Richard Hart in the lead role. The next season he was replaced by Lee Bowman, who lasted three years and then was replaced by Hugh Marlowe, who played the character for five years, and then the series ended. After a two year gap, "The Further Adventures of Ellery Queen" aired on TV starring George Nader for one season, and then Lee Philips for another season. The character was not revived until 1975, when Jim Hutton played the lead role in the TV series "Ellery Queen", but it only lasted one season.

Condition: good. The poster has varying amounts of separation in most of the fold edges, the crossfolds and ends of the vertical foldline, and most of those defects are backed by conservation tape. There is small paper loss in the crossfolds. It is otherwise "all there" and after proper restoration the poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
