Auction History Result e031 DEBTOR TO THE LAW linen three-sheet movie poster '19 outlaw Henry Starr! Date Sold 12/18/2007Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Three-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 41" x 81") (Learn More) A Debtor to the Law, the 1919 silent cowboy western starring Henry Starr (billed as "The Man Who Stole A Million"; a real-life outlaw cowboy playing himself; he made this single movie and then returned to a life of crime!), Paul Curry (who also plays himself), Patrick Sylvester McGeeney, and Karl Hackett. Note that at the time of the movie's release, the pressbook's advertising claim that Starr had completely renounced his life of crime and had said, decisively, "I'm through", and that it would surely mean that he would never rob again, because "his word had always been a sacred pledge". It also stated that he had recently been informed that land he owned was yielding a huge amount of oil and that he was now "financially independent". Yet just two years after the making of this movie, Starr returned to his former profession of robbing banks, and was shot and killed in 1921 (I guess his gusher didn't pan out!). Also, note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good to fine. The poster had tiny paper loss at some crossfolds and some tiny tears and creases on some foldlines. There were some minor border defects, and some stains in the top edge of the top blank border, and some small paper loss in the left of the top blank border. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking (even more remarkable, given that the poster is nearly 90 years old!). The poster was well backed, and looks great!
