An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41 3/4" [69 x 106 cm]) (Learn More) The Speed Champion, the 1925 Albert S. Rogell silent boxing sports movie-making action thriller (a clever story of a boxer who lost a title match, and the winner got a Hollywood contract playing a boxer in a movie, so the losing boxer gets a job playing his opponent in the movie, but when they start filming, the staged match for the movie, he turns it into a real fight) starring Billy Sullivan, Kathleen Myers, Johnny Sinclair, Virginia Vance, Eddie Diggins, and Joe Moore. Note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. Also, note that the IMDb says that this movie was called "The Goat Getter", and that "The Speed Champion" is a re-release title. But we strongly suspect that they are wrong and that the title of the movie when it was released was "The Speed Champion", because this poster matches up in every way, and has no indicating of being a re-release. Perhaps "The Goat Getter" was an alternate title or a working title. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
