Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 22" x 28") (Learn More)

El Dorado, the 1967 Howard Hawks Texas cowboy western ("It's the big one with the big two!"; "They were friends. They were enemies. A passerby could not tell which was who."; "This was the seething sultry Old Southwest. Where loyalties and labels shifted with the sands, the winking of an eye, the wavering of a gun!"; "In a story of the elements. Wind, Earth, Sky, Loyalty, Redemption, Man, Woman, Gunfire!"; "They came for the gold. They stayed for the adventure."; "Based on the novel 'The Stars in Their Courses' by Harry Brown"; "Screenplay by Leigh Brackett"; a virtual re-make of Hawks' own "Rio Bravo") starring John Wayne ("is the Gunfighter"), Robert Mitchum ("is the Sheriff"), James Caan (in his fourth credited movie role!), Charlene Holt, Paul Fix, Arthur Hunnicutt, Michele Carey, Edward Asner, and Johnny Crawford. Note that this movie was virtually a remake of John Wayne's great success, "Rio Bravo"!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Condition: good to very good. paper loss in the upper right edge extending into the tagline at top (partially repaired with tape from the front and back of the poster with the tape extending almost all the way across the top blank border). Note that this poster has never been folded! Most half-sheet posters were folded twice (once horizontally and once vertically) right off of the printing press. It is very difficult to find an unfolded copy of most half-sheets, especially from before 1970!

small stains in the upper left edge in the tagline area as well as some around the edges of the poster; 2" tear in the middle left edge as well as a few smaller tears around the edges of the poster (some repaired with tape from the back); 6" diagonal crease at upper left as well as minor creases, smudges, and scuffs throughout the poster (mostly around the edges)
