Appears in Vintage Hollywood Posters 6 CATALOG SOLD OUT The image at right appears in the auction catalog we published as shown above and was sold long ago and we do NOT have it available for purchase. Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) The Fighting Marine, the 1926 Spencer Gordon Bennet silent U.S. Marines military action adventure serial starring Gene Tunney ("The world's new heavyweight champion"; the real life heavyweight boxing champion of the world!), Marjorie Day, Jack Anthony, Walter Miller, and Virginia Vance. Note that many boxing champions have turned to movies (either while they were champ or after) as a way to "cash in" on their fame, but Gene Tunney (who was champion at the time this movie was filmed) obviously wisely realized that this was not for him, and never appeared in another movie. Also, like many serials, a feature version was edited from the 10 chapters and released to theaters separately. Finally, note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. the poster was linenbacked; prior to restoration the poster had a few tape stains in the borders and these were very expertly painted over and a few had new paper placed over them. It was expertly done and most people would not realize it was done if it were not pointed out to them. In the image area, there was an extra horizontal fold above the regular bottom fold, and there was only minor wear on the foldlines. The poster was very well restored and one can only see the restoration from inches away. From any distance, the poster looks wonderful and there is truly little restoration within the image area!
