Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this cool standee, which has a very different image from that of the one-sheet. Not only that, but other than a standee for The Quiet Man, it is the ONLY standee from ANY 1950s John Wayne movie we have ever auctioned, making it an even greater rarity (and of course, it is from what most consider one of John Wayne's best movie)! Because the standee was created on a heavy board, it will need to be shipped in a very large flat package that measures approximately 32" x 35" (because it can be folded in half, as intended when it was created), so incorporate that cost of shipping into your bidding.

Condition: good. The standee was created on corrugated cardboard and there are some scuffs scattered throughout the image, including some in the stars' faces. There is uneven water staining in the bottom 1-3" of the poster and a small area of staining between the words "TECHNICOLOR" and "MILES" at middle right. This incredibly rare poster can certainly be restored (in a variety of possible ways), so please bear all of this in mind before bidding.
