A 1960 Re-release Vintage Theatrical Folded Italian Photobusta Movie Poster (measures 18 1/2" x 26 1/4") (Learn More) Stagecoach, the classic 1939 John Ford (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) cowboy western ("A powerful story of 9 strange people"; "Excitement That Rises To A Fever Pitch - and never lets you go!"; "A Strange Frontier Incident of 1885"; "2 Women on a desperate journey with 7 Strange Men"; "Nine oddly assorted strangers start out by stagecoach for Lordsburg, New Mexico. Each has his own personal reasons for wanting to get there. Then strange things begin to happen. The telegraph is mysteriously cut... the way station burned to the ground. Danger grows steadily more menacing... until... as convention breaks down, the lives of the travelers are tangled together... you live with them this strange adventure... tense, full of action... deeply moving..."; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about a stagecoach that is carrying a group of people across the plains through Apache territory and personal differences) starring Claire Trevor (as Dallas, the "marked" woman), John Wayne (as The Ringo Kid), Andy Devine (as a babbling driver), John Carradine (as a gambling "gentleman"), Thomas Mitchell (winner of the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; as a drunk doctor), Louise Platt (as a pregnant upper class lady), George Bancroft (as a sheriff), Donald Meek (as a whiskey salesman), Berton Churchill, Tim Holt, and Tom Tyler (in a small but key role). Note that John Wayne had received the starring role in "The Big Trail" in 1930, and it had done poorly, and his starring days seemed to be over! In the mid-1930s, he successfully starred in a series of low budget B-westerns, but was not considered for major productions. But in 1939, when Gary Cooper turned down the lead in "Stagecoach", John Ford took a chance on John Wayne, but the studio thought so little of him that he wasn't pictured on the one-sheet or most of the advertising!

Important Added Info: Note that this movie was surely re-released in Italy at least twice in the 1960s, and maybe more. There are very similar posters, locandinas, and photobustas, some of which are dated exactly 1960, and others which have a 1950 copyright in Roman numerals. Some have a studio of Colombus, some have United Artists, and most have no studio! So we are calling all these undated posters 1960s re-releases (and the ones dated 1960 as R1960), and we imagine they come from more than one re-release. It would also seem that that some of them might possibly date from before 1960, and we don't know for certain when the movie was first released Italy (the IMDb says it was released there in 1940, which is certainly possible). If anyone knows more about any of this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good. creases and scuffing along the horizontal fold across the middle as well as small creases, smudges, and scuffs throughout the poster; 1/2" tear in the left of the top edge as well as a few tiny tears around the edges of the poster Learn More about condition grades
