The Appaloosa (Siempre Hay Un Amanecer) – 1966 Original Mexican One-Sheet Movie Poster (27x41”) | Marlon Brando Western | Folded | Universal Pictures

This original Mexican one sheet poster for The Appaloosa (released in Mexico as Siempre Hay Un Amanecer) features striking artwork of Marlon Brando at the center, surrounded by dynamic scenes of action, romance, and horseback confrontations, rendered in vivid colors and bold illustrated linework. The design highlights the film’s themes of rugged frontier justice and masculine honor, popular in mid-1960s Western imports. The poster is a fine example of Mexican-market adaptations of American studio productions, often more stylized than their U.S. counterparts.

Condition Notes:

Poster is folded as originally issued. There is visible staining and water damage on the reverse, particularly along the fold lines and lower quadrants. Front image remains vibrant and frameable, though there are signs of slight discoloration near edges. Paper remains structurally intact with no major tears.

Rarity & Market Appeal:

Mexican one sheets from the 1960s featuring major Hollywood stars like Brando remain collectible, especially when tied to strong visual art. While The Appaloosa is not Brando’s most iconic film, its cult following and the striking localized poster art elevate its desirability. However, the water damage affects value for condition-sensitive collectors.

Printed in Mexico for Universal International, this piece is highly collectible due to Brando’s iconic status and the vivid local-market design rarely seen outside Latin America.
