A 1975 Re-Release Theatrical Unfolded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 24 1/4" 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: very good. There is some minor tattering in the very outer edge of the upper right and lower left blank borders only. It is otherwise in pretty nice condition and it displays well!
