<B>Stagecoach (United Artists, R-1944).</B></I> Six Sheet (81" X 81"). John Ford established John Wayne's place in the industry (and history) with this genre-defining film. The story, though, extends beyond the Western and its most famous star and director. In a sense, the story also set the template for modern spectacles spanning from the disaster films of the 1970s to contemporary summer fare like "Speed" and even "Saving Private Ryan." A stagecoach travels from New Mexico to a distant settlement with a diverse array of passengers on board, each representing a different stratum of society, and of course, after internal conflicts give way to an external one, the rebel/outlaw/social loner ultimately redeems himself with heroics. This stone litho six sheet dates from the early rerelease, which many collectors consider to be the better art because the original posters did not feature Wayne. This poster has undergone restoration to repair multiple tears and paper loss, and paint has also recovered areas lost to chipping. The epic design captures all of the excitement of the film, a must-have for any fan of the genre. Very Good on Linen.
