20th Century Fox, 1952

This attractive poster from director John Ford's Academy Award-winning drama is folded as issued. It has pinholes, fold and border wear, a few tears, minor stains and a Dutch censor stamp. This example would make a great candidate for restoration if desired.

When one thinks of John Wayne, one typically recalls his Westerns or his war pictures. But somewhat surprisingly, his most beloved picture was neither. It was, in fact, this film, a romantic comedy-drama directed by longtime Wayne collaborator John Ford and set in Ireland, in which Wayne plays Sean Thornton, a retired boxer who returns to his homeland to buy the family farm and settle down. This was a significant departure for Wayne, Ford, and Republic Studios, as the studio had been known for its solid B-Western line. With an all-star cast, this lavish production was the only film from Republic to be shot in Technicolor and the only release from that studio to receive an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture.

Estimate: $400 - 800
