BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! Original One-Sheet Movie Poster for The Cimarron Kid Starring Audie Murphy, 1952
This is an original theatrical one-sheet movie poster for the 1952 Technicolor Western film The Cimarron Kid. The poster features promotional artwork including a primary illustration of lead actor Audie Murphy holding a revolver, smaller character portraits of Yvette Dugay, Beverly Tyler, John Hudson, James Best, Leif Erickson, and Noah Beery, and an action scene depicting a train raid in the upper left. Text at the left margin reads He Led the Last GREAT OUTLAW RAIDS!. The bottom credit block identifies the film as a Universal-International Picture directed by Budd Boetticher and produced by Ted Richmond, with a screenplay by Louis Stevens. Markings on the lower margin include Copyright 1951 by Universal Pictures Co., Inc. and Country of Origin U.S.A. National Screen Service (NSS) numbers 42631 and 52/28 are printed in the lower right corner. The reverse of the poster bears a stamped identification reading 14 C CIMARRON KID 52/28. Partial NSS licensing text is visible along the lower right vertical edge, stating the poster was licensed for exhibition and must be returned.
Condition report:
The poster is in fair to poor condition. It is currently in two separate pieces due to a complete horizontal split along the central factory fold line. Significant edge wear is present along the right margin, including chipping, small tears, and irregular paper loss. The original factory fold lines exhibit heavy creasing, pinholes, and paper loss at the cross-fold intersections. The paper displays general age-related toning, surface scuffs, and multiple handling creases throughout. This item is a candidate for professional restoration and linen backing.
