Fraker cowboy western ("Monte Walsh is what the West was all about."; "A Real Western"; "Based upon the novel by Jack Schaefer" [the author of "Shane"]; "'The Good Times Are Comin' Sung by Mama Cass") starring Lee Marvin (in the title role "as 'Monte Walsh'"), Jeanne Moreau, Jack Palance, Mitch Ryan, Jim Davis, and G.D. Spradlin 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 in the 1910s through 1930s, studios would make large cloth banners that movie theaters could hang up above their lobbies (or above their entrances). In the early 1940s, they changed to making paper banners (perhaps there was a cloth shortage during World War II). At first, they were made of one-sheet-like paper, and they didn't survive very well, and they apparently were not very popular, because very few survive. At some point around 1946, they changed to making them out of a heavy paper stock, similar to that used for 40x60s, but measuring 24" x 80". Many people think these became very popular at drive-in theaters, which were then expanding at a major pace throughout the country. The paper banners were very popular until the late 1960s, and then far fewer were made (perhaps corresponding to the decline in popularity of drive-in theaters). We have been consigned a wonderful collection of 133 of these paper banners, and we are auctioning them all, in 133 separate auctions. This is a great opportunity to acquire one or many of these rare posters! Condition: good to very good. There are some scuffs and dot stains scattered throughout the poster (see our image).
