A 1952 Re-release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) The Dark Command, the 1940 Raoul Walsh Kansas post-Civil War cowboy western ("A drama of undying love"; about a band of renegade Confederate guerrillas who go around looting; loosely based on the real William Quantrill; they even named the character "William Contrell"!) starring Claire Trevor, John Wayne, Walter Pidgeon, Roy Rogers, George 'Gabby' Hayes, Porter Hall, Marjorie Main, and Raymond Walburn. Note that even though Roy Rogers had starred in many B-westerns at the time of the making of this movie, he was fourth billed, and was not pictured on any of the posters (except the insert and the style B 1SH [where he is barely visible!]), or the title lobby card (although he was pictured on one of the publicity stills, perhaps Republic was trying to distinguish this movie as an "A" picture, and did not want to give prominent billing to Roy Rogers, who they perceived as a "B" western star?). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good to very good. The poster had a 1/2" x 2" area of paper loss at the middle crossfold and tiny paper loss at the other crossfolds. There was minor wear on the foldlines and pinholes in the corners. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
