For your consideration is this original, limited edition "War of the Wildcats" movie poster from 1959. This movie poster is a 1959 Republic Pictures re-release one-sheet poster for "War of the Wildcats", intended for theatrical display. The design contains dramatic mid-century artwork focused on a big portrait of John Wayne, as well as graphic action sequences inspired by the film's oil-boom backdrop. The arrangement and color selections follow the studio's normal reissue approach of the late 1950s, giving the film a cleaner, more modern appearance than its 1943 debut materials. Originally released in 1943 under the title In Old Oklahoma, the picture stars John Wayne as Daniel Somers, a rancher who becomes embroiled in early Oklahoma oil wars while fighting against an established tycoon. The film was one of Republic Pictures' more ambitious wartime Westerns, and it helped Wayne establish himself as a key figure in the genre. In 1959, Republic republished the film as War of the Wildcats, with redesigned promotional graphics designed to appeal to audiences at the height of Wayne's success. This movie poster shows three crease lines, one towards the top, one in the middle and one towards the bottom. It shows good condition overall with wear present from its age and use over the years, but no major signs of damage or tears is noted. The poster measures 41" L x 26 3/4" W and weighs 1 pound and 4 ounces.
