Original Belgian Poster (14×22) for the Edward Ludwig action adventure, WAKE OF THE RED WITCH (1948) starring John Wayne, Gail Russell, Gig Young, Adele Mara, and Luther Adler. Set in the Dutch West Indies around 1860, the story revolves around a bitter rivalry between sea captain Wayne and ship owner Adler. Wayne plays one of the most sinister and cruelest characters of his career. He is alternately charming and broodingly malevolent, given to alcohol-fueled bouts of violence and self-loathing, his motivations often morally ambiguous. This original Belgian poster is linen-backed and in very fine plus condition.

Original Belgian Poster (14×22) for the James Edward Grant romantic western, ANGEL AND THE BADMAN (1947) starring John Wayne, Gail Russell, Harry Carey, and Bruce Cabot. In this first film produced by Wayne, he plays a gunslinger and Russell plays a Quaker woman. When Wayne gets wounded in a bank robbery, he ends up knocking at the door and is nursed back to health by her. Wayne gives one of the best performances of his career, and Russell’s natural “angelic” qualities are memorable as well. Beautiful art on this Belgian poster. Linen-backed and in very fine plus condition.
