An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) The Fugitive, the 1947 John Ford Mexican/U.S. south-of-the-border crime melodrama ("Betrayed ...By men of evil for a handful of silver! Befriended ...By a woman, who alone dared shield him from doom!"; "Based on the novel by Graham Greene"; set in Central America, about a priest who is wanted by the authorities who had denounced Christianity) starring Henry Fonda, Dolores Del Rio, Pedro Armendariz, J. Carrol Naish, Leo Carrillo, Ward Bond, Robert Armstrong, and John Qualen. Note that this movie deals with all Central American characters, but director John Ford chose to cast a non-Latino actor, Henry Fonda, in the lead role, thus diminishing the power of the movie. This reluctance on Hollywood's part to use Latino actors in lead roles continued for many years. In 1961, there was a new version of this movie, filmed for television under the title of the source novel, "The Power and the Glory", and once again, an Anglo actor (Laurence Olivier) played the lead role! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: very good. There are a few 3/4" and smaller tears around the edges of the poster (repaired with tape from the back). The poster is otherwise in generally nice condition.
