The Plainsman

Universal City, CA: Universal Pictures, 1966. Vintage one sheet poster for the 1966 film.

Based on Cecil B. DeMille's 1936 film, and a Technicolor remake. Crazy Knife (the stone-faced Henry Silva), a Cheyenne warrior, captures Wild Bill Hickok (Murray) and takes him to Chief Black Kettle (Simon Oakland), who subsequently sets him free. Hickok meets up with Calamity Jane (Dalton), only until she is captured by Crazy Knife. Hickok manages to save Calmity in time for the new office in command to arrive, General Custer (Leslie Nielsen).

Shot on location in California and Utah.

27 x 41 inches, folded. Very Good, with a long vertical crease, a small dampstain, and several short tears.
