Hello,
anyone who know the name of this font?
I doubt there will be any matches for this. I am sure it was done by hand as a one off creation for the movie poster. There are a few modern day fonts that have similar properties if that is all you are looking for. But if you want exact, I think you will need to re-draw it.
Similar properties:
That’s a nice-looking typeface. It deserves to have a modern digital version made. I wonder if there are other samples of it around or if it was a one-off creation by Samuel Hyde Harris for the poster.

Where they don’t have the exact font - and probably wasn’t a font as pointed out - there are certain characteristics that are similar but not the same as the poster.
You could contact them to see if they have something
Found on this page
Also found out the poster was created by Sam Hyde Harris - and his work is stored at the Smithsonian - so you might be able to contact them to see if they have an information on record.
I’ve contacted institutes and things like that before, one place even made a photograph from a glass plate before, for free! All they wanted was credit in the book.
It never hurts to ask.
Says Sam Hyde Harris right in the OP’s link. 
I really like that font though.
