Presented here is a movie poster from the 1938 film Rawhide, produced by Sol Lesser and starring New York Yankees legend Lou Gehrig. In this film, Gehrig plays a fictionalized version of himself, who decides to abscond from his life as a star ballplayer for a simple existence as a dude rancher in the wilds of Montana. Gehrig’s character is the moral hero of the film, eventually leading a posse that chases the nefarious villains out of Rawhide. This one-sheet movie poster is encased in a 45 x 32 inch frame. It is billed as chock full of “Daring Death Valley Dangers”, and surely promised a good time to the 1938 movie-goer. This poster is a tremendous antiquity of both baseball and film, and would be a welcome addition to any collection.
