Wagon Master [Wagonmaster]

Los Angeles: RKO Radio Pictures, Circa 1950. Vintage mini-banner poster for the 1950 Western film.

Two cowboys join a wagon train and find themselves forced to defend the group against outlaws, attacking tribes, and foul weather. Basis for the 1957-1965 television series, "Wagon Train," with actor Ward Bond returning to star as the wagon master until his death in 1960. A film which received tepid critical response upon release in 1950, but which was considered by director John Ford to be one of his favorites, and has since been reconsidered as one of Ford's masterpieces.

Shot on location in Arizona and Utah.

4.75 x 28 inches. Very Good plus, with light creasing at the extremities.

Rosenbaum 1000.
