Auction History Result #013 HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES 13x22 WC R1975 Sherlock Holmes, with art from the original poster! Date Sold 8/28/2001Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A 1975 Re-Release Theatrical Unfolded Movie Window Card (WC; measures 12 3/4" x 21 3/4" [32 x 55 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 window card measures 12 3/4" x 21 3/4", but it has not been trimmed. It is clearly taken from the original one-sheet or window card, and it is nicely printed, but it is in black & white. Like the similar R75 one-sheet, it was produced by a Seattle-based film distributor called Specialty Films. It was created from a collector's copy of an original poster 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 version. Because the film was re-released in smaller "art house" theaters, these posters are far more rare than posters for major studio releases. Condition: good to very good. This window card was folded in half at one time and there is surface paper loss along the fold. There are creases and folds throughout the poster. Learn More about condition grades
