Six Sheet (81" x 81")
Very Fine+ on Linen
Paramount, 1965

The stunning six-sheet offered is mounted on linen and ready for display. It features a great shot of the four brothers, all ready for action, with artwork that is unique to this format.

In excellent condition, this poster shows virtually no signs of restoration, as it's only been put on linen for preservation and display.

When four brothers reunite in their hometown of Clearwater, Texas for their mother's funeral, they unknowingly enter a web of deceit and trickery that not all of them will survive. The start of filming had to be delayed while John Wayne underwent surgery to remove a cancerous lung and two ribs. Undeterred, however, the 58-year-old actor returned to the set soon after, insisting on doing his stunts to prove to the public that his much-publicized illness had not slowed him down. Despite these challenges, the film opened to solid reviews and has since become one of the most popular films in the Western canon, as well as one of the most admired films of Wayne's later career.

Estimate: $200 - 400
