Auction History Result 3j0932 DICK TRACY linen chapter 6 1sh 1937 Ralph Byrd, great Chester Gould art, Dangerous Waters! Date Sold 12/20/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Chapter #6 (Dangerous Waters) One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Dick Tracy, the 1937 Alan James & Ray Taylor detective mystery crime action serial ("A Republic Serial"; "Ace G-man... Waging a One-Man war on crime!"; "15 action episodes"; "Based on cartoon strip by Chester Gould"; "Original Story by Morgan Cox and George Morgan") starring Ralph Byrd (in the title role as Dick Tracy), Kay Hughes, Smiley Burnette, Lee Van Atta (as Junior), Francis X. Bushman (as Chief Clive Anderson), and John Picorri (as Moloch). Note that this was the very first Dick Tracy movie! It is surprising that it took six years for it to reach the screen, but once it did, it proved very popular and was followed by three more serials over the next four years, and then after a four year break, the first Dick Tracy feature film was released, which again proved extremely popular, and there were three sequels to that. There were animated cartoons on TV in the 1950s and in 1990, Warren Beatty made a live action movie! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had small tears and tiny paper loss on parts of many folds, with pretty minor border wear. Someone many years ago linenbacked the poster with no excess, and they likely did a pretty good job at the time. However, since that time, the restoration paint they put on the orange areas has aged differently than the rest of the orange areas, so it is quite noticeable in parts of the folds and in the bottom of the "C" of "TRACY". If I owned this poster, I would surely have it removed from the old linen and re-backed, but bear all this in mind before bidding on this poster. Learn More about condition grades
