An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Red River, the classic 1948 Howard Hawks Texas romantic family relationship cattle drive cowboy western ("Fighting like you've never seen before!"; "Cattle-drive, the longest in the history of the West!"; "Stampede as thousands of fear-crazed cattle run"; "Indian massacres and attacks from the Panhandle to Missouri"; "Love as deep and tender as their hearts were bold!"; "Manhunt with no quarter asked or given"; "Gun-play as breath-taking as a coyote's howl at night!"; "Not since 'The Covered Wagon' and 'Cimarron' has there been a motion picture like 'Red River'"; "There was glory at one end - fury at the other - and nothing but danger in between!"; "Howard Hawks who gave you 'Scarface' and 'Sergeant York' now brings you The Greatest Story The West Ever Told!"; "In 25 Years - Only Three! Covered Wagon, Cimarron, and now... Red River"; "Blazing in its action - thundering in its drama - stirring in the sweep of its fabulous production!"; "From the original Saturday Evening Post story 'The Chisholm Trail' by Borden Chase") starring John Wayne, Montgomery Clift, Walter Brennan, Joanne Dru, Harry Carey Sr., Coleen Gray, John Ireland, Noah Beery Jr., Harry Carey Jr., Paul Fix, Mickey Kuhn, Hank Worden, and Hal Taliaferro. Note that this movie was filmed in 1946, but was held back so as to not interfere with the major delayed 1946 release of "The Outlaw", co-directed by Howard Hawks (although Howard Hughes took all the credit!). It was intended to be Montgomery Clift's first movie, but this delay caused it to be released after "The Search", making it his second movie. Also, Clift and Wayne had very differing political views, and did not take to each other at all, but that likely helped the movie, since their characters were at odds with each other through almost the entire movie.

Important Added Info: Note that United Artists decided to promote this movie with an advertising campaign that compared it to two early western classics, "The Covered Wagon" and "Cimarron", and much of the first release posters were used promoting that idea. The first release one-sheet is especially disappointing, because so much of the poster is used in this way that there is only tiny artwork at the bottom of the poster, and the great stars of the movie are barely seen. This insert has a much superior image, because while half of the poster is devoted to that "in 25 years - only three!" ad campaign, the bottom half of the poster has much larger images of the stars than the one-sheet, including of course, John Wayne. Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good. The poster was folded by hand slightly above the middle, and there are some partial horizontal creases scattered in the poster. There are some creases and faint smudges scattered around the edges of the poster. There is a tiny tear in the bottom center of the poster above the "OD" of "PRODUCTION", and a few small tears in the borders. There are three pieces of tape on the back of the left border, mending small tears. Learn More about condition grades
