ROSE OF THE RIO GRANDE

Original Argentine 29 inch x 43 inch Poster for the 1938 William Nigh Western ROSE OF THE RIO GRANDE, based on the story by Johnston McCulley and starring John Carroll, Movita, Antonio Moreno, Don Alvarado, Lina Basquette, George Cleveland and Duncan Renaldo.

It is Mexico in the 1830’s…a Mexico torn by warfare, whose rightful aristocratic rulers are trying to wrest it back from its conquerors. The efforts are in vain as the rebels, headed by the bandit, Captain Lugo, ravage the countryside, burning, looting, spreading terror and death. But….HOPE lives again as a new leader rises, with a song of victory on his lips. He is “El Gato” —champion of the oppressed, unmerciful to those without mercy…and ruthless in his determination to rid his native land of her spoilers.

The poster is in good to very good folded condition with slight edge wear and a few extra soft horizontal fold lines.
