SANTA FE TRAIL (1940) 28121 Movie Poster Errol Flynn Olivia de Havilland Michael Curtiz Art by Giorgio Olivetti

Original Italian 39x55 Poster Re-release of 1962 Art by Olivetti

Original Italian 39x55 Poster for the re-release in Italy of SANTA FE TRAIL (1940). The year of release was 1962, and the distributor was United Artists. The poster has the look of an original-release poster, but it is actually from 1962. The film stars Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, Raymond Massey, Ronald Reagan, Alan Hale and Gene Reynolds. Several films have been centered around the history of abolitionist John Brown. To say the film is fanciful, in terms of its historical accuracy would be an understatement. Warner's was trying to make a film that would ride on the success of THEY DIED WITH THEIR BOOTS ON, and in doing so they took great liberties with the facts about characters like Jeb Stuart (Flynn), and George Custer (Reagan). But the movie is deftly directed by Michael Curtiz, and has the trademark Warners affinity for swash and buckle. The art is quite different from the first Italian release, and is by Giorgio Olivetti.
