Note that the mount of Maid Marian is played by none other than Trigger the Horse, before he was purchased by Roy Rogers! Finally, note that anyone who saw this movie remembers well the archery contest which comes down to Errol Flynn in disguise and Owain the Welshman, but few people know that Owain was played by the world's greatest archer, Howard Hill, and that he also did Flynn's bow and arrow stunts shown in the movie!

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this 1945 re-release title card, and the last one was 7 years ago (and it has the same image as the 1938 title card)! Note that when this classic movie was first released in 1938, the lobby cards were printed on a "linen-like" paper that Warner Bros. used from the mid 1930s to the early 1940s. Toward the end of World War II, when all of their top stars were away in uniform, Warner Bros. started re-releasing many of their classic 1930s titles, but because they had switched to printing lobby cards on the regular paper stock, those re-releases can be easily distinguished from the first releases (they often have exactly the same images otherwise). This title card is from the 1945 re-release, just seven years after the original. Given that the first release title card sells for huge amounts of money, this very early re-release (with the same image) is a great alternative! Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The card had pinholes, creases, tears, and faint stains around the edges, with some creases, scuffs, and a few tiny dot stains scattered in the image. Overall, the card was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. The card was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Also, the person who did the linenbacking left 1/4" excess border on all four sides, and the lobby card slightly "stretched" during the linenbacking process, so that the card itself now measures 11" x 14 1/4".
