New Adventure! New Action! New Thrills!"; "The most stirring chapter in America's unwritten history brings you more thrills, more excitement, more action than 'Dodge City'!"; about a Union soldier who escapes from a Confederate prison, and he is sent to Nevada to stop Southern sympathizers from sending millions of dollars to help the South win the war; he meets a beautiful woman on the stagecoach West, and falls in love with her, not realizing she is in league with the sympathizers; when he gets to Virginia City, he finds that the man organizing the money shipment was the head of the prison he just escaped from!) starring Errol Flynn, Miriam Hopkins, Randolph Scott, Humphrey Bogart, Frank McHugh, Alan Hale Sr., Guinn 'Big Boy' Williams, Dickie Jones, and Moroni Olsen 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 re-release one-sheet very much demonstrates the changing popularity of movie stars! When the movie was first released in 1940, Errol Flynn and Miriam Hopkins were top billed, and Humphrey Bogart and Randolph Scott received much lesser third and fourth billing. Bogart had his major swell of popularity in the mid 1940s, and he surely would have received great billing in a 1945 re-release (if there were one), but by 1951, he had faded considerably, so when this movie was re-released then, he was still fourth billed, but he received equal billing to Flynn and Scott. By 1956, when the movie was re-released yet again, both Errol Flynn and Miriam Hopkins' stars had faded sufficiently that Humphrey Bogart and Randolph Scott were now top billed, and Errol Flynn and Miriam Hopkins received much smaller billing! Condition: good to very good. There is 1 1/2" of separation at the top two crossfolds and 1" of separation at the bottom crossfold.
