Lon Chaney in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" (Universal, 1923). Keybook Still (7.75" X 9.75").
Vintage black and white, double weight, keybook still. Although Lon Chaney had achieved fame as a character actor for his roles in such classic films as The Miracle Man (1919), The Penalty (1920), Oliver Twist (1922), and Shadows (1922), it was this picture, one of the most expensive in Hollywood history at the time, that made him a star of the first magnitude. Chaney's deformed bellringer, Quasimodo, has become an iconic figure, a testament to his skills both as an actor and a make-up artist. This exceedingly rare keybook still is a real treasure for fans of this great actor. The lefthand piece, which would have had the three punch holes to keep it in the keybook, has been trimmed to remove these holes, but that does not affect the still at all. The extreme right border has been trimmed by approximately .25", and the still displays light edge wear in the bottom border, and a corner bend in the top right. Even considering these minor flaws, this is a highly desirable piece, spotlighting one of the most memorable scenes in the entire film. Ring in and bid on this one! Fine+.

Vintage black and white, single weight, glossy still. In this intriguing behind-the-scenes still, director Wallace Worsley and an unidentified cameraman (perhaps cinematographer Robert Newhard), with the famous Notre Dame cathedral set in the background, pose with a then state-of-the-art amplification device that allowed Worsley to communicate his instructions to the entire crowd of more than 2,500 actors and extras on the set of this landmark film. A detailed snipe attached to the reverse tells the whole story. This still has some foxing and light edge wear in the right border, a small chip in the top right, and a missing corner in the top left, but is otherwise extremely attractive. A true piece of film history, this will be a valuable addition to your collection. Very Fine.

In this intriguing behind-the-scenes still, director Wallace Worsley and an unidentified cameraman (perhaps cinematographer Robert Newhard), with the famous Notre Dame cathedral set in the background, pose with a then state-of-the-art amplification device that allowed Worsley to communicate his instructions to the entire crowd of more than 2,500 actors and extras on the set of this landmark film. A detailed snipe attached to the reverse tells the whole story. This still has some foxing and light edge wear in the right border, a small chip in the top right, and a missing corner in the top left, but is otherwise extremely attractive. A true piece of film history, this will be a valuable addition to your collection. Very Fine.

Freaks (MGM, 1932). Still (8" X 10").
Vintage black and white, single weight, glossy still. This film, from director Tod Browning, was so disturbing to audiences upon its initial release that it was almost immediately withdrawn and locked away in the MGM vaults for the next several decades. Although horror films were coming into vogue by 1932, Browning shocked the public by using actual circus freaks in this picture. The still offered here, in which Hans (Earle) woos the duplicitous aerialist Cleopatra (Olga Baclanova) has some light staining in the top left of the image, small tears in the top and right borders, bends in three corners, and some border creasing. There is a typewritten notation of the title and studio on the verso as well as some pencil writing. Fine.

Vintage black and white, single weight, glossy still.

This impressive still, with some pencil writing and a date stamp on the reverse, featuring the Gill-Man in chains (most likely Tom Hennessy within the costume) is in virtually pristine condition, as clean and attractive as the day it was printed. This is one we know you'll want. Near Mint.

This lovely still, which bears a typed studio snipe on the reverse, shows some foxing at the bottom edge, a bit of wrinkling, and light creases in the right corners, but these slight flaws in no way detract from the beauty and desirability of this great piece. Very Fine-.
Boris Karloff in "The Bride of Frankenstein" (Universal, 1935). Still (8" X 10").
Vintage black and white, single weight, glossy still. In this quiet scene, the Monster (Boris Karloff) is seen sporting the burns he received in the windmill fire at the climax of the first movie. This wonderful portrait of the Creature that made Karloff a superstar has pinholes in the corners, a crease in the upper right, slight corner creases, and some very light creasing in the borders, but is, by and large, extremely clean and attractive.

Boris Karloff in "The Bride of Frankenstein" (Universal, 1935). Still (8" X 10").
Vintage black and white, single weight, glossy still. Here's one for all you Universal horror historians: a scene not included in the final print of this classic film. This is obviously part of the scene in the crypt, just before the Monster (Boris Karloff) meets Dr. Pretorius (Ernest Thesiger); one of the men in the left side of the shot is none other than Universal horror mainstay Dwight Frye. Whether this is a deleted scene, or merely an existing scene shot from a different angle we'll leave for you to decide. The still has a light corner crease in the upper left, and a corner bump in the bottom right, but these are the only defects of note in the wonderful, and historic, piece. Very Fine-.

The Ghost of Frankenstein (Universal, 1942). Stills (3) (11" X 14").
Vintage black and white, single weight, glossy stills. This film, the fourth in Universal's Frankenstein series, marked the first time in which someone other than Boris Karloff played the titular monster. In this instance, the role was taken over by Lon Chaney Jr., who had recently risen to the A-list of horror actors with his iconic title turn in The Wolf Man (1941). Also in the cast is Bela Lugosi, reprising his role as Ygor from the previous film, Son of Frankenstein (1939). These wonderful stills, with the Monster prominently pictured in each one, are in superb condition. The still that shows the Monster in the chair (confronted by a young girl and a young Ralph Bellamy), shows some creasing in the top left and in the bottom border. The other two stills have slight creases in the top left and lower right corners. In spite of these very minor flaws, the stills are extremely clean and attractive, making beautiful additions to any Universal Horror collection. Very Fine.

Vintage black and white, single weight, glossy still. Considered one of the greatest films to feature the blockbuster comedy team of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, this movie is notable for several other reasons as well. Not only was it the second, and last, time that Bela Lugosi essayed his iconic role as Dracula, but it also marked the end of the Golden Age of Universal Horror. This great still, featuring Lugosi and Glenn Strange as the Monster, shows only the slightest evidence of handling wear, but is otherwise pristine. Near Mint-.

The Mummy (Universal, 1932). Still (8" X 10").
Vintage black and white, single weight, glossy still. For lovers of Universal Horror films, this Boris Karloff masterpiece, released a year after his amazingly successful Frankenstein, is the epitome of the genre. Paper from this title is scarce, and images of Karloff dressed as Imhotep the Mummy (who only appears in one scene) are even scarcer. His make-up was done by legendary artist Jack Pierce. There is only a small tear in the left border, a corner chip in the lower right, and a light horizontal crease at the top. If you are a fan of the Mummy, this unique still is the one to have.

Boris Karloff in "The Mummy" (Universal, 1932). Still (8" X 10").
Vintage black and white, single weight, glossy still. Originally conceived as a film called Cagliostro about an immortal mystic, the storyline was altered to take advantage of a current craze for all things Egyptian. The result was a classic Universal Horror film, and another triumph for star Boris Karloff. Offered here is a publicity still issued in support of the picture. Although Karloff never appears this way in the film itself, it was common for studios to send out "glamour shots" like these, in addition to stills from the actual movie. This compelling portrait is in marvelous condition, with only a process blemish on Karloff's shoulder keeping it from an even higher grade. Very Fine+.

Boris Karloff in "The Mummy" by Jack Freulich (Universal, 1932). Still (8" X 10").
Vintage black and white, double weight, silver gelatin, glossy still. It's fair to say that make-up artist Jack Pierce created the modern horror genre. His work on Universal's Dracula and Frankenstein made the studio the most powerful force in Hollywood. Having collaborated on Frankenstein, Pierce and Boris Karloff were reunited for the The Mummy. Karloff's transformation into the Mummy, pictured here, was carried out by Pierce (standing to the right of Karloff) and took eight hours to complete! This fabulous production still has tiny chips in the top and lower left borders and minor corner bumps. The verso has writing in pencil, a piece of clear tape in the top right corner and a Freulich credit stamp. Very Fine-.

Vintage black and white, single weight, glossy still. By the time Claude Rains appeared in this picture as Sir John Talbot, father of Larry (Lon Chaney Jr.) - a pleasant young man destined to suffer the curse of lycanthropy - he was already one of Hollywood's biggest stars.

King Kong Still by Ernest A. Bachrach (RKO, 1933). Still (10.75" X 13.5").
Vintage black and white, double weight, matte still. One of the most perfect films ever exhibited on the silver screen, this thrilling story was brought to life thanks to the exquisite stop motion animation effects of genius Willis O'Brien. Painstakingly working with elaborately crafted miniatures, O'Brien made King Kong, as well as a variety of fabulous dinosaurs, live and breath, making the Eighth Wonder of the World one of the most sympathetic characters ever filmed. Paper from this landmark production is always scarce, with posters bringing record prices whenever they are offered. This exceptional still - showing Kong poised by the giant gate, with horrified natives and crewmen running for their lives in the foreground - by renowned photographer Ernest A. Bachrach, was originally provided as an exclusive to Shadoplay magazine in January 1933 and used in that magazine's March issue, prior to the film's late March general release, as indicated by notes on the still's reverse. Also on the reverse is a studio snipe (revealing that Kong has developed a "mute, inglorious fascination" for the lovely Fay Wray), and a photographer's stamp. The still shows some pinholes in the borders and in the corners, some light edge wear, and minor corner creases, but is in overall superb condition. As far as rarity and desirability go, it doesn't get much better than this! Fine/Very Fine.

Carole Lombard Still by Eugene Robert Richee (Paramount). Still (10" X 13").

Marilyn Monroe in "The Seven Year Itch" (20th Century Fox, 1955). Still (8" X 10").
Vintage black and white, single weight, glossy still. If we had to choose one iconic image to represent Marilyn Monroe for all time, it would be this one, with her white skirt billowing around her legs while standing on a subway grate. Reportedly, when this scene was originally shot on location in New York City, the wild reactions of passersby made the footage unusable. Director Billy Wilder was forced to restage the scene on the Fox lot instead. This still has pinholes in the corners and borders, a piece of cellophane tape on the reverse, and some light handling wear, but is otherwise in excellent shape. Don't miss out on this classic beauty. Fine/Very Fine.*

Mary Pickford Stills (1910s). Stills (2) (8" X 10").
Vintage black and white, double weight, matte stills. Dubbed America's Sweetheart, Mary Pickford captured the hearts of movie-goers in the early years of the twentieth century. Later, during her marriage to Douglas Fairbanks Sr., the pair reigned as Hollywood's first royal couple. Offered here are a pair of wonderful publicity photos. Although neither is dated, we suspect the image of Mary wearing a hat (measuring 7.75" X 9.75" and showing some glue residue on the reverse) is from her Biograph days, between 1909 and 1912, during which time she was working closely with director D. W. Griffith. The other image, in impeccable condition, appears to be from a slightly later period. Whatever their origins, there's no denying the incredible beauty of these rare pieces. Pickford was one of the silver screen's first superstars, and these early photos deserve a place of honor in your collection. Very Fine.

Vintage black and white, double weight, glossy keybook still. One of the biggest stars of the silent era, Gloria Swanson was also one of the few actors to make a successful transition to sound films. Indeed, her best-known role is that of Norma Desmond in the Billy Wilder classic, Sunset Boulevard (1950), about an aging silent-era starlet attempting to recapture her lost days of glory. Offered here is a beautiful early portrait of this compelling star. It appears to have been part of a keybook, with the upper portion -- where the punch holes would be -- trimmed away. This trimming in no way affects the photo itself, which is in near-perfect condition. Near Mint.

Seen here as the Virginian - the character's name is never mentioned in the movie - this early still of a young Cooper has a light crease in the bottom right, a photographer's stamp, and some black paper on the reverse from when the photo was mounted in an album. Overall, it is in superb condition, a real find for any true Cooper fan. Very Fine+.

Originally Jane was to die in this picture (as O'Sullivan wanted out of her contract), but overwhelming fan reaction saved her fictional life. This still is in excellent condition; only some light handling wear keeps it from an even higher grade. Near Mint-.

Although some have criticized it for not presenting the novel's powerful themes effectively, it is a captivating film, with strong performances by Cooper and co-star Patricia Neal. This is a fabulous large format for this film and has pinholes around the edges of the piece and had some minor wear to crossfolds but has been conserved onto linen. There has been almost no color touchup. The linen has been trimmed up to the edge of the poster. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

The Iron Mask (United Artists, 1929). One Sheet (27" X 41").
The sequel to Douglas Fairbanks's early film, The Three Musketeers (1921), the silent screen's greatest swashbuckler returns to the role of D'Artagnan in this rousing action epic.

This incredible stone litho poster has crossfold separations and some smudging in the bottom and left borders, but these minor flaws do nothing to detract from the overall beauty of this great, classic one sheet.

Captain Blood (Warner Brothers, 1935). Window Card (14" X 22").
Based on the thrilling adventure novel by Rafael Sabatini, this movie, about a dashing young doctor who becomes the leader of a band of pirates, was a star-making vehicle for a young Errol Flynn.

Fine- on Cardstock.

The Sisters (Warner Brothers, 1938). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
Errol Flynn and Bette Davis made only two films together, the other being The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex, and their pairing was dynamite for Warners as the two were the studios most bankable stars.

This beautiful poster on linen finish has been paper-backed to flatten the fold lines. Those lines have been color-touched and the borders have been airbrushed. Fine/Very Fine on Paper.

The Dawn Patrol (Warner Brothers, 1938). Jumbo Window Card (22" X 28").
One of the top action stars of any age, Errol Flynn stars here as Captain Courtney, a flying ace during World War I who must contend with the horrors of the conflict in which he finds himself.

Expert professional restoration has largely addressed these issues, returning the piece to a like-new appearance. Fine/Very Fine.

Richard III (London Films, 1956). British One Sheet (27" X 40").
Of the three Shakespearean films directed by Olivier, Richard III received the least critical praise at the time, and it was the only one not to be nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards ceremony. Many critics now consider Richard III Olivier's best screen adaptation of Shakespeare, as the film gained great popularity after its 1966 re-release. This superb country-of-origin poster has striking graphics and terrific color. There is minor edge and fold wear, and minor creases at the center horizontal fold, and there is a general vertical misfold, none of which detracts from the poster's bold appearance. Very Fine+.

The Sea Hawk (First National, 1924). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Often overlooked in favor of the 1940 Errol Flynn version, Frank Lloyd's silent-era adaptation of Rafael Sabatini's novel is more faithful to the book than Flynn's outing, and just as action-packed. Milton Sills stars as the Englishman who goes from gentry to galley slave to captain of a Moorish warship while trying to regain the woman he loves. The poster has some tears, heavy fold wear with separations and minor chips, some paper loss and tears in the image and border, as well as a missing top left corner, all of which has been repaired with exceptional restoration. Very Good on Linen.

Tarzan and His Mate (MGM, 1934). Insert (14" X 36").
This was the second film to feature Johnny Weissmuller as Tarzan and Maureen O'Hara as Jane, the sequel to the phenomenally successful Tarzan the Ape Man (1932). When Harry Holt (Neil Hamilton) returns to Africa to poach ivory and rescue Jane, she must choose between the pleasures of civilization and a life with Tarzan. This was the only film in which Jane wore a bikini-like outfit which, along with the infamous nude swimming scene, raised the ire of the Catholic League of Decency, resulting in noticeable changes in subsequent films. Offered here is a beautiful insert. Prior to expert professional restoration, including slight color enhancement, it had pinholes in the corners, foldwear, two tears in the left border and one in the right, and a missing top right corner. The restoration efforts are superb, resulting in a poster with a Near Mint appearance. You'll want to keep your eye on this one. Fine on Paper.

Tarzan the Fearless (Principal Distributing, 1933). One Sheet (27" X 41") Chapter 12 -- "Jungle Justice".
In a race to beat MGM to the punch, producer Sol Lesser obtained film rights to five Tarzan tales in 1928 and signed his own Olympic swimmer - Buster Crabbe, the only actor to play '30s comic strip icons Tarzan, Flash Gordon, and Buck Rogers - to star as the Lord of the Jungle. His take on the character was first released as a 15-chapter serial, and later as a feature.

Tarzan Finds a Son (MGM, 1939). Italian (28" X 39").
Since Tarzan (Johnny Weissmuller) and Jane (Maureen O'Sullivan) were not legally married, censors insisted Tarzan "find" a son, rather than have one in the more traditional manner. The result was the Jungle Lord's discovery of Boy (Johnny Sheffield) as an infant in a downed plane. Five years later, a rescue party shows up, searching for the infant who is the heir to a vast fortune. The beautiful piece offered here, with art by renowned Italian poster artist Leom, had foldwear with crossfold separation, an area of paper loss in the left border, chipping in the bottom left, top left corner, and bottom right, and about .75 inches of the right border replaced. Expert professional restoration has admirably addressed all these issues, making this a poster that you'll display proudly. Very Good/Fine on Linen.

Johnny Weissmuller returns as the Lord of the Apes, but this time, he's joined by Brenda Joyce in her first appearance as Jane.

You Can't Take it with You (Columbia, 1938). Pre-War Belgian (24" X 33.5").
Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart, this is the story of the decidedly eccentric Sycamore family, headed by Grandpa Vanderhoff (Lionel Barrymore), a former businessman who indulges the whims of everyone in the household. When daughter Alice (Jean Arthur) introduces the stuffy family of her fiancé Tom (James Stewart) to the Sycamore clan, hilarity ensues, climaxing in a police raid. A classic comedy, the film earned Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director (Frank Capra). The beautiful pre-war Belgian poster offered here features exceptional images of all the cast members. It shows pinholes in the right border and upper left corner, edge wear, extra folds and crossfold separations, corner bumps, and chipping in the top corners, but is overall a very attractive piece, featuring some of the greatest stars of the era. Fine+.

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (Columbia, 1939). Title Lobby Card and Lobby Card (11" X 14").
The two most popular lobby cards, the title card and the portrait card, from one of America's favorite movies! James Stewart's portrayal of the naive freshman senator, Jefferson Smith, charmed audiences, won him the first of his five Academy Award nominations, and catapulted Stewart to stardom. Though he played many memorable characters in his nearly six decades as an actor, it is Senator Jefferson Smith, perhaps next only to It's a Wonderful Life's George Bailey, with which Stewart is most identified. Co-star Jean Arthur, who had also teamed with Stewart the previous year in You Can't Take it with You, has been called "the quintessential comedic leading lady" by film historian Robert Osborne. The title card has pinholes in the field, and slight edge wear. There is a small tear at the top border with paper tape on the reverse. The portrait card has surface abrasions and a small tear on the right border. These highly desirable cards capture the essence of the Stewart charm and would be a fine addition to any collection. Very Fine-.

Great artwork of Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck highlights this Frank Capra classic.

The Whole Town's Talking (Columbia, 1935). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
With The Whole Town's Talking you get two Edward G. Robinson's for the price of one, as he plays both a tough guy gangster and a meek, look-alike hardware store clerk in this comedy directed by John Ford. Though decidedly light-hearted for the most part, the film certainly has its dark side as Ford was able to sneak some material past the Hays office that would not have been allowed in a drama. This exceptionally clean and bright title card features a collage of scenes, including several with Robinson and co-star Jean Arthur. Only small corner bends at top and bottom left keep this card from being mint. Very Fine/Near Mint.

The Whole Town's Talking (Columbia, 1935). Jumbo Window Card (22" X 28").
Directed by John Ford and based on the book by W. R. Burnett (who also wrote Little Caesar), this is the story of dull and average Arthur Ferguson Johns (Edward G.

This striking jumbo window card had two tears in the top border and a small hole in the right side, but these slight flaws have been addressed with professional restoration, returning this card to a like-new appearance. This will certainly be the gem of any collection. Very Fine on Cardstock.

Rebecca (United Artists, 1940). Insert (14" X 36").
This is director Alfred Hitchcock's first American film, having been lured to the States by mercurial producer David O. Selznick. The British director already had a reputation for making suspenseful pictures, making him the logical choice for Selznick to hire to direct Laurence Olivier, Joan Fontaine, and Judith Anderson. A rocky relationship developed between Hitch and Selznick. but that did nothing to hamper the movie's success (it was nominated for nine Oscars, winning for Best Picture and Best Cinematography), or hinder Hitch's transition to Hollywood. This insert has edge wear, tears in the top and bottom borders and two in the left border that extend into the image, a small scuff and smudge in the image, smudge on the top left corner, light dust shadow at the top right corner, and an extra crease at the top. Folded, Fine.

Suspicion (RKO, R-1954). Italian 4 - Folio (55" X 78").
Cary Grant is the gold digger and Joan Fontaine is the wealthy heiress who loves him, until she comes to believe that he's going to kill her for the inheritance.

This exceptionally gorgeous Italian 4-folio has stunning profile portraits of the two stars (especially captivating in such a large size) and very likely done by Luigi Martinati, with supple, eye-popping color. Condition issues were very minor, and included small border tears, fold wear, and a chip in the left border at the center, but these have been addressed with professional restoration. As discerning fans know, any paper on Suspicion is tough to come by, and this has to rank as one of the best posters on the title. Very Fine+ on Linen.

Spellbound (United Artists, 1945). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
Dr. Anthony Edwardes (Gregory Peck) arrives at Green Manors mental hospital to replace the retiring Dr. Murchison (Leo G. Carroll). It becomes apparent, however, that the man posing as Edwardes is an imposter, a paranoid amnesiac named John Ballantine, whom Dr. Constance Petersen (Ingrid Bergman) tries to help. When Edwardes is suspected of Murchison's murder, things get far more difficult. Making this movie particularly memorable are the dream sequences designed by noted surrealist Salvador Dali. Offered here is a beautiful half sheet featuring Peck and Bergman. It had pinholes in the corners, some slight fold wear and an extra vertical crease, and a tape lift and tear in the bottom border, but expert professional restoration has rendered these minor flaws virtually invisible. A fine piece for any fan of this classic Hitchcock film. Very Fine- on Paper.

Under Capricorn (Warner Brothers, 1949). Italian 2 - Folio (39" X 55").
Alfred Hitchcock rarely did costume drama, but when he did, he applied some of the techniques used so well in his thrillers and mysteries.

This poster has pinholes in the corners, tears to the bottom corners, pinpoint fold separations, and small touch-ups just above the faces of the cast members. Magnificent artwork by Italian artist, Alfredo Capitani.

If the plot of this, one of director Akira Kurosawa's best known films, sounds familiar - two unruly peasant farmers, Tahei and Matashichi (Minoru Chiaki and Kamatari Fujiwara) join up with General Rokurota Makabe, who is on a mission to rescue Princess Yuki (Misa Uehara) - it should. George Lucas credits this film as a major inspiration for Star Wars (1977) in both storyline and character. Just imagine General Makabe as Luke Skywalker, Princess Yuki as Princess Leia, and Tahei and Matashichi as C-3PO and R2-D2. This lovely Speed poster shows some foldwear, but is otherwise clean and attractive. Original paper for Kurosawa's films can be difficult to find; don't let this classic treasure get away from you. Very Fine+.

Sanjuro (Toho, 1962). Japanese Regional B2 (20" X 28").
Directed by Akira Kurosawa, this classic found Toshiro Mifune as a Japanese Samurai who comes to defend a group of men and their families as they are being suppressed by a superintendent of a village. Only he, with his true abilities as a samurai, can bring the corrupt officials down. This poster has been folded in half, there are pinholes in the upper two corners and tape reinforcing the top and bottom edges on the reverse. Original Japanese posters of Kurosawa's films are extremely rare and highly desirable. This regional poster was printed in extremely limited quantity as it was used in a specific region of Japan instead of the entire country. Very Fine-.

Fury (MGM, 1936). Pre-War Belgian (23.75" X 30.5").
One of Germany's truly great directors, Fritz Lang, fled his native country when the Nazis came to power and decided to create his films in America. His first effort in the USA was Fury; the tale of a man (Spencer Tracy) who takes vengeance on a mob who tried to kill him when they erroneously assumed he was behind a kidnapping. The film was incredibly powerful upon it's release and made Spencer Tracy one of Hollywood's leading actors. This is a gorgeous stone litho poster and as rare as posters are for this film, this is the best we have ever seen. The poster has had very minor color touch to the fold lines and to some minor tears in the borders. Very Fine- on Linen.

The Wife of the Pharaoh (Europaische Film-Allianz, 1922). French Grande (47" X 63").
The legendary director Ernst Lubitsch filmed this Egyptian epic midway through his career, while he was still in his native Germany. This was at the height of the craze of all things Egyptian, with all the recent discoveries of the tombs of the ancient Pharaohs. It was the world-wide notice of this film that brought Lubitsch to America in 1923 on a promotional tour. Soon he would move to Hollywood and become known for his successful run of sophisticated romantic comedies. Heading a cast of thousands is Lubistch favorite Emil Jannings, who would later star in Josef von Sternberg's Blue Angel. Dagny Servaes is featured as the daughter of the king of the Ethiopians (Paul Wegener) and is offered in marriage to Pharaoh Amenes (Jannings) to keep the peace between their two countries. Prior to professional restoration, this French grande had chips at the top border, one in the top left corner, and fold wear with small chips. This rare and historically important poster has spectacular stone litho artwork that few can match! Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Sunrise (Fox, 1927). Window Card (14" X 22").
F. W. Murnau's landmark production is one of the most culturally significant films in movie history. This was Murnau's first film in Hollywood after his successful career in Germany with the masterpieces Nosferatu and The Last Laugh among many others. Sunrise won four Academy Awards at the first Awards ceremony in 1929. The film, which stars George O'Brien, Janet Gaynor, and Margaret Livingston is a moral tale of a married farmer who is lured by a woman from the city to contemplate murdering his wife. His journey of redemption with his wife is both artistically portrayed and heart-breaking. The card has a pinhole in the right side, edge wear, stains in the snipe and along the right side, and some tanning. Three corners have been reattached with archival tape on the reverse and there is a minor chip in the lower left corner. Although there are issues with the card, the central image is not affected, remaining clean and bright. Paper on this title is extremely rare and we have offered only one poster in a previous sale. This important window card features spectacular stone litho artwork of the two stars. Very Good/Fine.

Repulsion (Compton Films, 1965). Italian 2 - Folio (39" X 55").
Considered by many to be one of the best films directed by Roman Polanski and certainly one of Catherine Deneuve's best performances. This striking Italian poster using psychedelic colors is considered the best poster on the film and is arguably the best poster for any Deneuve film ever made. The poster has foldwear with slight paper loss at the crossfolds and some chipping in the lower left fold as well as toning within the folds. There is cellophane tape on the reverse of a couple of the folds where there was separation. Fine+.

E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (Universal, 1982). One Sheet (27" X 40.5") "Bicycle Style."
Although this is sometimes referred to as the "Style B" poster, it was never released to theaters, that we are aware of. As rumor has it, director Steven Spielberg had this special poster created specifically for the cast and crew of the film, and liked the image so much, he adopted it as the logo of Amblin Entertainment. Whether or not that is the case, there's no denying that this is, by far, the most visually attractive poster depicting the most iconic moment from the film. This particular example is in perfect condition, with no visible flaws to mention. If you've been looking for an opportunity to pick up a copy of this elusive beauty, now is your chance! Rolled, Mint

The Wedding March (Paramount, 1928). Lobby Cards (2) (11" X 14").
A pair of scene cards from Erich von Stroheim's silent era classic The Wedding March. Slated to be part one of a two-part series, Paramount forced von Stroheim to create a second film (The Honeymoon) out of the footage. Ironically, the Wedding March is the only surviving film of the duet as the only existing copy of the sequel was destroyed in a fire. These cards are exceptionally clean and retain their vibrant color. Very Fine/Near Mint.

Citizen Kane (RKO, R-1950s). Polish One Sheet (24" X 34").
Orson Welles's masterpiece featured many of the Mercury Theatre Players that he had worked with on stage and radio, including Joseph Cotten, Everett Sloane, Ray Collins, and others. Welles co-wrote, directed, produced, and starred in this important epic tale based loosely on the life of newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst. Paper for this beloved feature is highly prized, and we are happy to offer this rare poster, from the first Polish release of 1948, with its striking artwork. It has a crossfold separation, a minor chip in the right border, small chips in the top border, and one in the left corner, which do not go into the field. A remarkable poster from this top film! The poster was described in the catalog as original release when it has come to our attention that this is believed to be a 1950s re-issue. Very Fine- on Linen.

Citizen Kane (RKO, 1941). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style B.
Considered one of the greatest films of all time, this is the alternate Style B one sheet from Orson Welles's brilliant masterpiece! It offers a wonderful alternative to the artwork of most of the film's original campaign, with a beautiful painting by William Rose portraying a young Orson Welles as Kane, with lovely images of Dorothy Comingore and Ruth Warrick facing him. This poster sold the film as a more conventional love story. It is considered, by far, the more desirable style for the original American release on this title. We sold another copy of this glorious poster for $57,500 in our July 2006 auction! This copy shows almost no fold wear other than evidence of the most minor tape lifts from the backside of the three crossfolds, which is not apparent from the front. Otherwise this poster is in magnificent condition with amazingly vibrant colors! Very Fine+ on Linen.

Othello (United Artists, 1959). Polish One Sheet (23" X 33").
Orson Welles created a rich and powerful film with an extremely small budget when he finished this Shakespearean tragedy. The film took several years to make, as production stopped as the money frequently ran out, and Welles took on various other acting jobs to pay for its completion. This beautiful original release Polish poster had pinholes in the corners and was designed by artist Mroszczak. Very Fine+ on Linen.

Touch of Evil (Universal International, 1958). One Sheet (27" X 41").
An Orson Welles classic, beautifully captured in all its dramatic impact with magnificent Bob Tollen art! Featuring a cast that included Charlton Heston, Janet Leigh, and Marlene Dietrich in addition to Welles, who also wrote and directed the film, Touch of Evil is considered by many to be among his very finest. Ironically, at the time, Welles's reputation in Hollywood was at a low ebb, and he was paid only for his acting. His writing and directing contributions, as monumental as they were, earned him no additional payment. Bright and clean, this one sheet has only pinholes and small stains in the corners, a small stain in the top right field, and a bottom right corner. This highly desirable one sheet certainly belongs in the collection of any Welles fan, as well as any lover of film noir, as a fine example by one of the genre's true masters. Very Fine.

Touch of Evil (Universal International, 1958). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
This gritty film noir grabs the viewer from the very beginning with its long opening sequence that follows a car with a bomb for several minutes as it makes its way across the U.S./Mexico border and explodes. In the film, which was written, directed, and stars Orson Welles, we witness the dark and seedy side of the border towns where corrupt police captain Quinlan resorts to desperate methods to pin the bombing on a young Mexican named Sanchez. The only person standing in Quinlan's way is Mike Vargas (Charlton Heston). With a plot full of desperate characters, Vargas's wife Susie (Janet Leigh) is an easy target for revenge. With an amazing supporting cast and cameos by Joseph Cotten, Marlene Dietrich, and Zsa Zsa Gabor, this is a real tour de force. There are staple holes in the image area, small corner bumps and smudging, a minor dust shadow, and a small stain in the bottom border. This would be a highlight to any noir collection. Folded, Very Fine.

Sunset Boulevard (Paramount, 1950). Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style B.
Perhaps no film has delivered such enduring lines as this masterpiece. Considered by many to be one of the greatest movies ever made, Sunset Boulevard is a dark and disturbing look inside Hollywood, captured through the brilliant direction of Billy Wilder and the extraordinary performances by William Holden and Gloria Swanson. Swanson is the archetypal aging former star, living in near seclusion, still a big Hollywood star in her own mind but forgotten by everyone else. Holden turns in a career-transforming performance in his role as the young, "kept" screenwriter. Nominated for 11 Academy Awards, including Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Picture, it won three, and was included in the first group of films selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. It ranks highly in the American Film Institute's list of the 100 best American films of the 20th century. This dramatic half sheet has edge wear, creases in the top right and lower left corners, and some smudging in the white field, but displays beautifully; a striking piece from one of Hollywood's most lauded films. Rolled, Very Fine.

From the fertile mind of director Roger Corman, this is definitely a genre classic. The half sheet presented here has staple holes in the borders and the corners, a tear in the left border that goes into the image area, and two small chips in the right border.

A chilling film from director Roger Corman, this is the story of a dedicated scientist (Ray Milland) who discovers the secret of x-ray vision with tragic results, culminating in one of the most horrifying last scenes ever filmed. A tense and gripping film, Don Rickles is superb as an oily carny.

The titular Man from Planet X lands on a remote Scottish island, near an observatory, in order to pave the way for the arrival of others of his race.

There were pinholes in the corners of this insert, a tear in the top left corner, a minor hole in the center, with small chips in the borders. Professional restoration has addressed these issues and rendered them nearly unnoticeable on this outstanding image. Fine+ on Paper.

The War of the Worlds (Paramount, 1953). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Producer and animator George Pal, a big fan of H. G. Wells, adapted several of the novelist's stories to film, including this 1898 science fiction tale of a Martian invasion, with stunning results. Starring Gene Barry, Ann Robinson, and Les Tremayne, this gripping story of civilians and soldiers hopelessly doing battle against the invaders' disintegrator rays and war machines, ends with the Martians dying from Earth's bacteria and viruses. The film's terrifying tale of evolution played out on a large scale is powerful and shown with Oscar-winning special effects. This professionally restored one sheet had fold wear, a horizontal tear below the center fold, and pinpoint crossfold separations. The striking graphics make this poster one of the most sought after of the 1950s sci-fi classics. Fine on Linen.

The War of the Worlds (Paramount, 1953). Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style B.
George Pal's classic adaptation of H. G. Wells's science fiction novel is considered one of the top sci-fi films of all time. Unfortunately for poster collectors, most of the imagery used on the original release posters did not depict the Martian warships as seen on this fabulous half sheet. Considered by most collectors to be one of the most desirable posters of the 1950s, this rare half sheet, which was rolled and not folded, had some fading and pinholes in the borders. There were also a couple of small staple holes in the image and slight wear and minor tears in the borders. There was no missing paper. All of these defects have been professionally restored, returning this poster to all of its former glory. Fine- on Paper.

The War of the Worlds (Paramount, R-1973). Italian 4 - Folio (55" X 78").
Certainly one of the most notable science fiction films of the 1950s--and perhaps all time--The War of the Worlds . Produced at a time when the public was growing increasingly concerned about the "Red Menace" and Civil Defense education was becoming a part of American life, the film enthralled audiences. The Academy Award-winning special effects still look great! There are censor punches on the bottom, edge wear, fold wear with some separations, light wrinkling in the credits area and a chip on the bottom. Very Fine-.

The War of the Worlds (Paramount, R-1965). One Sheet (27" X 41").
This reissue poster for one of the most important science fiction films of the 1950s is especially desirable among collectors as it features the Martian war machines, unlike the original 1953 one sheet. Much of the credit for the success of this adaptation by George Pal of the H. G. Wells classic should go to art director Albert Nozaki who provided concept drawings, key storyboards, and perhaps the most important element, the design of the Martians and their weapons. This science fiction collector's essential had pinholes in the corners, tears on the right border, a small hole on the left side, and one below the title, all addressed through expert restoration to create a stunning display.

With the fantastic artwork by Reynold Brown this colorful sci-fi classic is a must have. Very Fine.

This Island Earth (Universal International, 1955). Insert (14" X 36").
One of the best sci-fi films of the 1950s, this movie has it all: a great cast, including Jeff Morrow, Faith Domergue, Rex Reason, and Russell Johnson; a thoughtful and compelling script; and wonderful special effects, such as the Metaluna Mutant, which quickly became one of the great monsters in Universal's legendary stable.

The Blob (Paramount, 1958). One Sheet (27" X 41").
An iconic 1950s sci-fi thriller, this teen flick was a favorite at the drive-ins, and its theme song "The Blob," written by a young Burt Bacharach, was an instant hit.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Allied Artists, 1956). One Sheet (27" X 41").
One of the 1950s' truly classic horror/science fiction films, it chills not through a grotesque monster, but rather through the idea that the enemy is with us and could be anyone. The invasion begins with seed pods sent from a far away galaxy to take over the Earth by duplicating its citizens. While the shape-changing aliens are, by all outward appearances, exact copies of their human victims, they lack all emotion, and coldly go about their destruction of humanity. The American Film Institute selected Invasion of the Body Snatchers as one of the ten best science fiction films. This extraordinarily clean, bright one sheet had only minor fold wear and pinpoint crossfold separation addressed through expert restoration. A terrific addition to any science fiction collection!

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Allied Artists, 1956). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
In a day when people were seeing Communists under every bed and enemy agents around every corner, it's no surprise that the film industry would respond with paranoia pictures such as this one. One of the best of that frightening genre, this was a story about alien pods who came to Earth to create soulless duplicates of people worldwide. The resulting hysteria made for a gripping film. Paper from this popular title has always been avidly sought by collectors, and this classic image, variations of which were used on other posters for this release, is widely considered one of the best designed of the era. This poster had some foldwear and paper chipping in the yellow field at the junction of the two panels below the hand print. There was some paper loss within the hand and upper fingers as well as in Wynter's face, shoulder and legs. The poster has had some slight sun fading. The poster will display nicely and is an outstanding design. Very Good- on Linen.

The Wasp Woman (Film Group, 1959). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Roger Corman's cult favorite is a tale of the scientific horrors that result from experiments using wasp jelly to find eternal youth and beauty. With obvious homages to the 1958 hit The Fly, this movie stars Susan Cabot, in her final film, as cosmetics firm owner Janice Starlin who hires scientist Eric Zinthrop (Michael Mark). When she takes extra doses of the beauty treatment, she temporarily turns into the predatory insect. The only small issues with this one sheet are pinpoint crossfold separations, a separation at the top of the vertical fold, and minor tears at the top edge. This is one of the more desirable of the 1950s sci-fi posters due to its fantastic artwork and this is one of the cleanest copies we have ever seen! Very Fine.

Attack of the 50 Foot Woman (Allied Artists, 1958). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Nancy (Allison Hayes) is a troubled woman. An alcoholic married to an abusive philanderer, Nancy wants revenge on those she feels have wronged her. Following an encounter with aliens - and her sudden growth spurt - she gets to go on the rampage she's always dreamed of! As far as sci-fi poster collectors are concerned, this classic beauty stands head and shoulders above most of the competition, and you can see why!

Before restoration, the poster had fold wear with an extra horizontal fold at the top, but was otherwise unmarked. Only our strict policy of not awarding a higher grade than VF+ to posters on linen keeps us from giving this beauty an even higher grade. Very Fine+ on Linen.

The Amazing Colossal Man (American International, 1957). French Grande (47" X 63").
Producer Bert I. Gordon made a career of turning normal sized objects into giants in his pictures, and with The Amazing Colossal Man he churned out one of his better efforts.

This exciting French poster has pinholes in the corners and within the border. There is minor crossfold separation and some slight soiling on the borders. Wonderful artwork by Constantin Belinsky.

Jack Arnold, the man who brought us Creature From the Black Lagoon and Tarantula, directed this film about a man who is exposed to a strange mist, causing him to shrink.

It becomes a race against time to kill the ant population before they migrate and reproduce. This Cold War-era film was ground-breaking in its social concern for man's effect on the environment. Most of the cards in this set have three sets of staple marks in the upper right corners. A couple have some minor tears in the upper border, but overall, these cards are in very nice condition. Very Fine.

Them! (Warner Brothers, 1954). Japanese B2 (20" X 29").
Giant ants invade the New Mexico desert, and only James Arness can save the day! Despite corporate cold feet and last-minute budget-cuts (the movie was originally to be shot in color), this was Warner Brothers' highest-grossing film of 1954, and has taken its place as a classic of the giant monster genre. This vivid Japanese B2 has colorful graphics that aren't quite accurate to the action of the film. Condition issues include edge wear with small chips, foxing in the title, scuffing at the folds, fold wear, and wrinkling. Very Good/Fine.

Tarantula (Universal International, 1955). Six Sheet (81" X 81").
Science fiction master Jack Arnold's first foray into "big bug" territory (he would later launch a memorably menacing spider at The Incredible Shrinking Man) has a nicely arid atmosphere and terrific special effects. The first-rate cast includes John Agar, Leo G. Carroll, and Mara Corday. This eye-popping six sheet will stir the arachnaphobia in just about anyone! The poster had pinholes in the top corners, fold wear and crossfold separation with some minor chips out, all of which has been addressed with professional restoration. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Doctor Cyclops (Paramount, 1940). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
The first science fiction film to be shot in a three-strip Technicolor process, this is the gripping story of four scientists in the Peruvian jungle who run afoul of mad Doctor Thorkel (Albert Dekker), who, with the use of a deposit of radium, shrinks the scientists to one-fifth their normal size. The dramatic half sheet offered here has pinpoint crossfold separations, pinholes in the left and right borders, a tear in the right border, and a tear in the bottom border that extends into the image area, a corner bump in the lower left, and some minor scuffing in the image area. These flaws are easily overlooked, however, when considering the exceptional eye-appeal of this classic poster. Folded, Fine+.

A wonderful, complete set of lobby cards for this sci-fi classic, with the original envelope. One card has pinholes to the corners, two have small tears, and all have minor corner bumps and bends to the top left corners. Very Fine.

Tarantula (Universal International, 1955). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Classic 1950s science fiction thriller of an experiment gone awry. Starring John Agar, Leo G. Carroll, and Mara Corday, the film is helmed by the talented Jack Arnold. Amazing poster artwork by Reynold Brown, and a giant mutated spider, made for a sure fire hit. This poster is printed on a heavier and better paper stock than other posters from the period, and is as clean as the day it was printed fifty-four years ago. There is a very slight bit of lower crossfold separation but is otherwise unused and near mint! Near Mint-.

Tarantula (Universal International, 1955). Insert (14" X 36").
When a lab experiment goes awry, a spider escapes and grows to enormous size, cutting a swath of death and destruction through the Arizona countryside. After a dynamite attack fails to stop the still-growing spider, a young (uncredited) Clint Eastwood leads a jet squadron that attacks and finally kills the monster arachnid. The insert features wonderful 1950s horror art, and has pinholes in the corners and a few in the borders, light creasing on the left border, and a punch mark with no paper loss at the top. Very Fine.

Godzilla (Toho, 1954). Japanese B2 (20" X 28.5").
Inspired by several very real events -- the atomic bombing of Japan at Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War II, the hydrogen bomb explosion at the Bikini Atoll in March 1954, and the subsequent irradiation of the fishing boat Daigo Fukuryu Maru -- Gojira made his silver screen debut in this eponymously-titled film on November 3, 1954. A modern-day metaphor for the horrors of the nuclear nightmare that had been unleashed upon the world, the film struck a responsive chord in the Japanese public, the only nation ever to suffer through an atomic attack. Gojira, or Godzilla as he was rechristened when he made his Western film debut, was an instant hit, and has since starred in the most successful film franchise in movie history. Offered here is the very rare country-of-origin Japanese B2 poster, the holy grail for any dedicated Godzilla collector. The photomontage not only features the King of the Monsters, but also his human co-stars Akira Takarada, Momoko Kochi, Akihiko Hirata, and Takashi Shimura. In superb condition, this cool poster had a misfold on the left side, and a small tear in the bottom center, but professional restoration has rendered these minor flaws all but invisible, resulting in a truly stunning, and highly desirable, piece of movie history. These posters are rarely offered at auction, so don't miss your chance to add this glorious treasure to your collection. Very Fine on Linen.

Godzilla (Trans World, 1956). French Petite (23.5" X 31.5").
Notoriously, special effects artist Eiji Tsuburaya originally wanted Gojira to be a giant octopus, but fortunately, cooler heads prevailed, and the 'Zilla-god made his impressive debut in 1954, the biggest baddest nuclear metaphor ever to hit the silver screen. In 1956, the Big G was introduced to Western audiences, complete with new scenes featuring Raymond Burr. This superb French petite shows the main monster in all his green glory, with terrific artwork by A. Poucel. The unrestored poster has minor edge wear, pinpoint crossfold separation, minor tanning at the edges, and some creasing at the center horizontal fold line. Very Fine+.

The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (Warner Brothers, 1953). One Sheet (27" X 41").
The terrifying result of man's nuclear weapons testing is the release of the Rhedosaurus dinosaur from his frozen home in the Artic Circle in this spectacular sci-fi thriller. One of most popular creature films of the 1950s, it is based on a short story by Ray Bradbury that ran in the Saturday Evening Post, although in later reprints he changed his title to "The Fog Horn." The great special effects genius, Ray Harryhausen, brings the creature to life. Paul Hubschmid, Paula Raymond, Cecil Kellaway, and Lee Van Cleef also star. There were pinholes in the corners and borders, a chip in the middle of the left border, one under the title, and a chip in the lower right corner. The restoration work is professional and spotless. Although the beast never breathes fire in the film, it makes for a dramatic image on this very desirable poster. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (Warner Brothers, 1953). Australian One Sheet (27" X 40").
For once, a nuclear explosion doesn't make an animal grow wildly out of proportion, but actually thaws the beast out of the arctic icepack. Stop-motion animator Ray Harryhausen created the dinosaur for the production and had it stomp down the Great White Way of New York City. This Australian one sheet has pinholes to the corners, foxing to the top and bottom borders, fold separations at the borders, and a bend to the bottom right corners. Very Fine-.

It Came from Beneath the Sea (Columbia, 1955). Lobby Card Set of 8 (11" X 14").
A giant six-tentacled octopus is disturbed and made radioactive by atomic testing, which sets it off on a spree of mayhem that lays waste to the Golden Gate Bridge, the Ferry Building, and Market Street. Finally, an atomic torpedo sends the creature to the bottom of the sea. It Came from Beneath the Sea is notable for the special effects genius of Ray Harryhausen in one of his first visual effects credits. All cards have staple holes, minor corner bumps, and light smudging in the borders, two cards have light pencil marks, one card has a hole on the left side, but all cards are bright and clean and display well.

Earth vs. the Flying Saucers (Columbia, 1956). Insert (14" X 36").
While the plot of this sci-fi classic is fairly straightforward (aliens come to Earth seeking to invade and conquer, while a beleaguered mankind fights back as best they're able), what sets this film apart from most of its contemporaries is the special effects work of stop motion wizard Ray Harryhausen. The scenes of the saucers attacking various Washington landmarks have become genre classics. This exceptional insert has light edge wear with small tears in the right border, masking tape on the reverse, and a smudge in the top right corner, but is still a wonderful piece, sure to be a cornerstone of any sci-fi collection.

Earth vs. the Flying Saucers (Columbia, 1956). One Sheet (27" X 41").
This is one of the most unforgettable of the alien invasion films of the 1950s, due in large part to the marvelous special effects work of stop-motion genius Ray Harryhausen. While similar in plot points and themes to both The War of the Worlds and The Day the Earth Stood Still (even going so far as to use stock footage from this film) the thrills are heightened by painstakingly created scenes of flying saucer-caused devastation, including a saucer crashing into Union Station, the destruction of the Capitol building, and the collapse of the Washington Monument. Hugh Marlowe, Joan Taylor, and Donald Curtis star as helpless humans fighting off the alien invasion. This one sheet has staple holes in the corners and a few in the black field, edge wear at the right side with a small tear, a crease in the lower left corner, and anextra vertical crease. These issues do not detract from the fantastic artwork. Very Fine-.

Alien (20th Century Fox, 1979). One Sheet (27" X 41") Advance.
A hard-to-find advance one sheet from one of the most talked about genre films of the 1970s. Alien is the story of the crew of the USCSS Nostromo, revived from hypersleep and sent to investigate a beacon emanating from a desolate planet. Upon arrival, they encounter an aggressive, indestructible alien organism that nearly wipes them out and, in the process, produces some of the most memorable scenes in modern science fiction. This hard-to-locate poster is in virtually mint condition. Rolled, Near Mint/Mint.

Aliens (20th Century Fox, 1986). Lenticular Poster (32.5" X 47").
After the amazing success of James Cameron's sequel to Alien, 20th Century Fox licensed the movie's monsters and plot lines to Granada Studios - an entertainment complex in Manchester, England. The studio wanted an adventure ride based on Aliens and had one created for MotionMaster- essentially a motion simulator synchronized to a five minute film. In order to advertise the ride, Granada Studios had a prototype poster created using the 3D lenticular process. This is one of two posters created by Kodak to "pitch" the concept to Granada. The other copy was given to the company executives in England. For the Alien collector, there may not be a better poster ever created as the Alien Queen from Aliens is depicted in 3D, standing among the blazing fires of a military compound. The poster shows light wear to the corners where there is some minor chipping, rounding and minor separation of the lenticular base. You truly have to see it to believe it. Very Fine.

Destination Moon (Pathé, 1950). One Sheet (27" X 41").
A science fiction classic, Destination Moon producer George Pal brought together giants in the field including writer Robert Heinlein and preeminent space artist Chelsey Bonestell to create a film that was well ahead of its time. Bonestell, who was to become Hollywood's highest paid special effects artist, made a major contribution to the film with his sketches, studies, and designs of spaceships, and his efforts helped the film win an Academy Award for Special Effects. This classic one sheet had pinholes in the corners, staple holes in the field, fold wear, and a small tear in the top center, all professionally repaired. The linen has been trimmed to the border. Very Fine on Linen.

World Without End (Allied Artists, 1956). Six Sheet (81" X 81") Style B.
Alberto Vargas, Esquire and Playboy illustrator, designed the brief outfits worn by the women of the future in this revision of H.G. Wells's The Time Machine. To capitalize on the renown of Vargas, Allied Artists created a special style B six sheet for the advertising campaign which utilized his famous pin-up art (we are also offering the other style (the A) six sheet in this auction). For years, no copies of this B style ever turned up, and many collectors assumed that it had never been produced - even though it had been shown in the original pressbook. Finally, a few years ago, Heritage managed to find two of these rare and beautiful posters and put them up for auction. Now it is once again being offered, and this one is in incredibly nice condition. This is some of the finest work done by Vargas for a movie poster, so don't let this rare opportunity to acquire it pass you by! The poster has been mounted on linen and undergone minimal repair, only to patch slight fold line separation and a couple of crease marks. Very Fine+ on Linen.

World without End (Allied Artists, 1956). Six Sheet (81" X 81") Style A.
On the way back from their mission to Mars, the crew of the first manned exploration rocket is shaken by intense turbulence that causes the ship to accelerate to incredibly high speed. The crew loses consciousness as the rocket plummets through a planet's atmosphere and crashes into a snowbank. When the crew explores their new home, they discover they have been propelled some 600 years into the future and are seeing an Earth in the aftermath of an atomic war. This beautiful six sheet has only some minor fold wear and crossfold separations that do not diminish the impact of this unique piece. Very Fine+.

2001: A Space Odyssey (MGM, 1968). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style C.
A rare Style C poster for arguably the greatest science fiction film ever made. Of the three original one sheets issued for the initial release of the film, the Style C (Centrifuge) is by far the rarest. This one sheet was not issued in two versions (70mm and Cinerama) as the other two styles were. It was strictly issued in a Cinerama style, sent only to theaters equipped for that format. At first glance this poster appears to be photographic, but upon closer inspection, it is artwork, executed by Robert T. McCall, and his printed signature appears at the lower left in the image. McCall is one of the foremost illustrators of space related images; he was commissioned by NASA to document the space program. The poster has light fold wear, a tear in the left border, and crossfold separations. Very Fine.

At first glance this poster appears to be photographic, but upon closer inspection, it is artwork, executed by Robert T. McCall, and his printed signature appears at the lower left in the image. McCall is one of the foremost illustrators of space related images; he was commissioned by NASA to document the space program. The poster has light fold wear, a tear in the left border, and crossfold separations. Very Fine.
2001: A Space Odyssey (MGM, 1968). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style A.
One of the most significant science fiction films ever produced, this epic saga was based on Arthur C. Clarke's story, The Sentinel. The story of humanity's evolution, with the help of a mysterious black monolith, this film set the standard for virtually all science fiction films to follow, with its top-notch special effects and deeply philosophical storyline. The Style A one sheet offered here, with iconic art by Robert McCall, is highly collectible. Some light fold wear is the only defect we note, rendered virtually invisible after expert professional restoration. Very Fine+ on Linen.

2001: A Space Odyssey (MGM, 1968). Lobby Card Set of 8 (11" X 14").
A complete set of lobby cards for Stanley Kubrick's groundbreaking science fiction epic. Of particular interest is card #8, which features an upside-down image of the Discovery One spaceship. Two of the cards have light tanning, and there a few instances of corner bumps. Very Fine+.

2001: A Space Odyssey (MGM, 1968). Subway (41" X 54").
MGM geared up their entire marketing department to produce as many promotional items as they could for Stanley Kubrick's visionary adaptation of Arthur C. Clarke's novel. This is the first subway for this classic title we've offered and the poster has had restoration to the bottom 2.5 inches of the entire poster. The restoration was extremely nice and the poster appears Very Fine. None of the NSS clauses or inventory numbers are evident. All the same, this is an exceptional poster that is extremely rare. Very Good/Fine on Linen.

Star Wars (20th Century Fox, 1978). Polish One Sheet (26.5" X 38").
Initially, George Lucas meant C-3PO to be a fast-talking and agile machine, but when Anthony Daniels secured the role; his interpretation changed the character. C-3PO was filmed alongside his buddy R2-D2, and since R2-D2's "lines" were dubbed later, Daniels has difficulty timing his lines. This poster had light fold wear and edge wear along the bottom and right side. This Polish poster features C-3PO solely by himself, encompassed by a galaxy of stars, and artwork by Jakub Erol. Very Fine+ on Linen.

Godzilla (Trans World, 1956). One Sheet (27" X 41").
One of the biggest monsters in film history tramples the landscape in this classic one sheet. Originally conceived as an allegory for the nuclear nightmare Japan had suffered at the end of World War II, the film's message was totally lost when it was re-cut for American audiences. This poster has pinholes in the corners and several along the central vertical fold, crossfold separations, light wrinkling along the borders, a light extra horizontal crease, a small tear in the right side and a small tear on the top right corner. Fine/Very Fine.

Destroy All Monsters (Toho, 1969). Japanese Lobby Cards (6) (10.75" X 14.5").
The monster mash-up to end all monster mash-ups! No kid (or kid at heart) can resist this Godzilla classic, which also features Mothra, Ghidorah, Rodan, Anzilla, Baragon, Goro, Mina, Varan, and others. Directed by the legendary Ishiro Hondo, the story features an alien race using the Earth's monsters to attack mankind, so the aliens can easily take over the planet. This stunning collection of country-of-origin lobby cards features four multi-monster cards, and plenty of rubber-suit action. These are in glorious condition, with only faint toning to the edges. No Godzilla collection is complete without these stunning cards! Near Mint/Mint.

Godzilla vs. Gigan (Toho, 1972). Japanese Lobby Card Set of 8 (10.75" X 14.5").
Alien cockroaches plot to conquer Earth by controlling the world's monsters (an oft-used plot in this series), and utilize a kid's amusement park as their base. Original Japanese lobby cards have traditionally been very, very tough to come by, so this near-pristine set is reason for celebration. Add to that the fact that seven of these eight cards feature at least two monsters (only one card is given over to the puny humans), with multi-daikaiju (or "giant monsters") on most. Very Fine/Near Mint.

The Day the Earth Stood Still (20th Century Fox, 1951). One Sheet (27" X 41").
One of the most eagerly sought after posters of any genre, this iconic one sheet from The Day the Earth Stood Still is certain to become the centerpiece of any collection. Acclaimed as one of the greatest science fiction films of all time, this is a moving and intelligent story urging the citizens of Earth toward peace. Interestingly, Director Robert Wise has claimed that the War Department would not cooperate with the filming of the picture and provide needed equipment because it disagreed with the movie's message. There was light fold wear, pinpoint crossfold separation, a chip at the bottom left, and surface paper loss on the top left, all addressed in the restoration process. Very Fine on Linen.

The Day the Earth Stood Still (20th Century Fox, 1951). Insert (14" X 36").
The insert offered here shows light edgewear, a small chip in the left border, a minor tear in the right border, and a stamp on the lower reverse that slightly bleeds through to the front, but expert professional restoration, which includes small pieces of Japan paper on the reverse, have rendered these slight flaws virtually invisible.

One of the most desirable titles in the poster collecting hobby, the window card offered here had a chip in the bottom right and one in the right border, small chips in the image area, and a vertical crease in the center.

Tobor the Great (Republic, 1954). One Sheet (27" X 41").
For fans of the science fiction genre, it doesn't get any better than having a poster with a giant robot on it. Tobor, while a minor entry in the genre, is considered one of the great posters due to incredible "must have" graphics. This poster has had very minor color touch to the fold lines. Very Fine+ on Linen.

Target Earth (Allied Artists, 1954). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Giant killer robots from Venus invade Chicago, spreading death and destruction in their wake. The script called for a robot army, but the budget only allowed for one to appear onscreen, making for a meager invasion force. Posters featuring robots on them are some of the most collectible of the science fiction genre, and this one does not disappoint. The poster has pinholes in corners and borders, edge wear with minor tears, tears along the right border that extend into the image, cloth tape on the reverse. This is a wonderful example of this rather scarce science fiction poster. Very Fine-.*

Forbidden Planet (MGM, 1956). Animation Art (12.5" X 30").
In this highly innovative 1950s sci-fi, which was nominated for an Academy Award for special effects, one of the main characters is the Monster of the Id, which threatens all human life on the planet Altair IV, in the year 2200. The creature is only seen when it comes in contact with an electric fence, or when it is hit with blaster fire, so instead of relying on traditional cell animation, in which pencil drawings are transferred to clear acetate sheets, then inked and painted, Disney animator Joshua Meador decided to shoot the pencil drawings themselves using a high contrast film, then composite a negative image on top of the positive image, resulting in a bizarre, flickering effect that had never before been seen. Offered here is one of the orginal pencil drawings. The paper has tears and creases on the right edge, three missing corners, edge tears, and light wrinkles, but the drawing is sharp and clean. A truly horrific monster created from man's subconscious, this is one of science fiction's greatest creations and an important collector's piece. Fine.

Forbidden Planet (MGM, 1956). Animation Art (12.5" X 30").
The monster from the Id, the repressed fury of the extinct super race of the Krell, was animated by the Disney studio in one of the most, if not the most, impressive special effects sequences in a 1950s science fiction film. This film set the bar high for all others of its genre with its top-notch effects and great story, but the Id sequence really stands out as a brilliant piece of work. It was animated by Joshua Meador and his team who used the innovative technique of shooting directly from the original graphite drawings in both positive and negative. Offered here is one of these hand-drawn animation frames. The drawing has small edge tears, a chip out of the bottom edge, a 6" tear at the bottom edge that goes into the image, and a crease on the upper left side. What a unique opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind piece of science fiction and animation history. Very Fine-.

Forbidden Planet (MGM, 1956). One Sheet (27" X 41").
With wonderful performances by Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis, and Leslie Nielsen, and state-of-the-art special effects, this film is one of the most beloved sci-fi classics of all time. Based loosely on the Shakespeare play The Tempest, the story, set in the early 2200s, involves the crew of a United Planets cruiser who find Dr. Morbius, his daughter Altaira, and Robby the Robot living on what they thought was a deserted planet. This one sheet is in extremely nice condition with professional restoration that has addressed the minor issues of pinholes in the top corners of the green field and pinpoint crossfold separations. Do not miss out on this beauty. Very Fine+ on Linen.

Forbidden Planet (MGM, 1956). Australian Daybill (13.25" X 30").
Robby the Robot starred in this full color spectacular from MGM about a professor and his daughter who are stranded on a planet while studying an extinct race called the Krell. What set this film apart from so many of the other science fiction pictures of the 1950s was the superior script, the high-quality production, and the flawless special effects! We have never offered this rare Australian, stone litho poster before and it is a beauty. Folded, Near Mint-.

The Day the Earth Stood Still (20th Century Fox, 1951). French Affiche (22.5" X 31.5").
A great French one sheet for the classic '50s science fiction film, one of the most sought after and collectible titles from that era. Robert Wise ushered the genre into the mainstream with this thoughtful thriller about an alien who visits Earth with an ultimatum for mankind. The poster had pinholes in the corners, fold wear with crossfold separations, minor chips at the top corners, and small chips to the left border. Fine+ on Linen.

The Day the Earth Stood Still (20th Century Fox, 1951). Australian Daybill (13.5" X 30").
Michael Rennie is featured as the alien Klaatu who arrives with a message for the people of Earth, do they heed his warning or do they suffer the consequences? . This daybill has been folded and is in extremely clean condition with only a small chip with a minor stain on the left edge. The graphic on this Australian piece, though based on the original American release material, is a beautiful stone-litho rendering. The colors and artwork make this one of the strongest visual posters from the film. This is an original release Australian daybill printed in Sydney by W.E. Smith and is very rare. A similar poster was reprinted in the 1960s when the film was reissued by a different printer with a different censor code. Very Fine+.

Forbidden Planet (MGM, 1956). Lobby Cards (4) (11" X 14").
The huge success of the film was mostly due to its mechanized performer, Robby the Robot, who became so popular with audiences that he went on to star in another feature films. Posters featuring robots represent the pinnacle of collecting for the 1950s sci-fi genre, and are the most desirable and sought after images in the hobby. These lobby cards have a few minuscule edge tears and minor corner bumps. Very Fine.

Forbidden Planet (MGM, 1956). Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style B.
It should come as no surprise, that paper from this picture is highly sought after, especially as the poster campaign included such great shots of Robby, as seen in the gorgeous half sheet offered here. This lovely poster had a stamp in the top right, tape lifts in the bottom border, creases on the left side, a 1" section of missing paper along the top border, large chips with paper loss along the left side, and a chip in the right side of the image, but professional restoration has rendered these flaws virtually invisible. With a high degree of eye-appeal and displayability, this will be a prize piece in your collection. Very Good+ on Paper.

The Invisible Boy (MGM, 1957). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
The credits may say that the film stars Richard Eyer, Philip Abbott, and Diane Brewster, but clearly the star of this 1950s science fiction charmer is Robby the Robot, making his first (and last) big screen starring appearance after Forbidden Planet. Though Robby was the film's focus, as this exciting three sheet clearly illustrates, youthful Richard Eyer turns in a winsome performance as the boy who builds Robby from spare parts and who ultimately saves the day. This stunning three sheet has only a minor pinpoint crossfold separation while retaining all its lustrous color and dramatic impact. A very choice and highly desirable item for any collection. Near Mint.

Popeye (Paramount, 1940s). Argentinean Poster (29" X 43").
A great promo poster for the Popeye franchise, featuring numerous images of the spinach-fueled sailor man and his "goyle", Olive Oyl. In the 1930s, Fleischer studios began producing Popeye cartoon shorts for Paramount; they proved to be popular enough for the studio to continue producing them until 1957. The poster had edge wear, a dust shadow to the left border, edge tears, and crossfold separations with minor paper loss.. Very Fine-, on Linen.

Popeye in "The Ace of Space" (Paramount, 1953). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Popeye made his film debut in Popeye the Sailor, a 1933 Betty Boop short, for Fleischer Studios (which was bought out by Paramount in 1941), and he has been a hit with audiences ever since. In this romp, Popeye, voiced by Jack Mercer, is abducted by Martians and fights off their attempted experiments with the power of his canned spinach, of course. This animated short was the only Popeye to be shown in 3-D. There were minor crossfold separations, fold wear, and some paper loss on the reverse in the title, all of which has been addressed by professional restoration. This prize poster features a superb image of the sailor man. Very Fine- on Linen.

Cock-a-Doodle Dog (MGM, 1951). One Sheet (27" X 41").
After a long hard day of being a dog, Spike wants nothing more than to get some shut-eye. Unfortunately for him, the barnyard rooster just wants to crow all night, and the noise is keeping Spike up! Thrown shoes, two-by-fours, hand grenades, nothing seems to shut that rooster up, so what's a dog to do? This hilarious cartoon was directed by the irrepressible Tex Avery, and is one of his classics. There is a light extra crease on the bottom fold, a small stain and light smudge on the left border, and small edge tears on the folds. Very Fine/Near Mint.

Mighty Mouse (20th Century Fox, 1943). Stock Poster (27" X 41").
Terry-Toons' most successful creation, Mighty Mouse, enjoyed a long run in a series of theater cartoons as well as several TV and comic book series. Initially released as "Super Mouse," the studio made the change to "Mighty" upon discovering that there was already a comic book Supermouse. This colorful one sheet had pinholes in the borders, small tears at the top center, fold wear, crossfold separations with small paper loss, and a small piece missing on the right border at a fold, all expertly repaired through the restoration process to create a bright display piece.

Warner Brothers Cartoon Stock (Warner Brothers, R-1959). One Sheet (27" X 41").
This delightful one sheet is a virtual who's who of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies stars. Most of these beloved characters got their start in the late 1930s-early 1940s and quickly became favorites of movie-goers. This stock poster is from the late 1950s when the cartoon shorts were still being shown in theaters before a feature film. The only issue with this professionally restored poster was a 4" tear in the upper right corner. With all the favorites included, this is one of the best animated stock posters we have seen.

Mickey's Nightmare (United Artists, 1932). One Sheet (27" X 41").
The most sought after movie posters, other than those from the horror films of the 1930s, are the Mickey Mouse cartoon one sheets created by United Artists from 1932 to 1933. United Artists produced thirteen individual Mickey Mouse one sheets before they went to a stock format from late 1933 to 1937. These thirteen one sheets are considered to be among the "Holy Grails" of the hobby. One of the best of these posters, Mickey's Nightmare, was also the first; released in August 1932. When United Artists took over distribution of Disney's cartoons, they decided to produce a full color one sheet as opposed to the monotone sheets produced by Columbia. Some collectors feel that this poster is one of the best of these because Mickey is shown not once, but nine times! There are three copies of this poster known to exist. This is the better of the two in private collections, and has been placed on linen to replace the upper right and lower left corners which had been torn off within the white borders. There is also minor color touch to the fold lines with a bit more to the white area of the center point. Heritage is proud to offer this spectacular one sheet that will appeal to collectors of Disneyana, movie posters, animation, and Americana. It has had the linen trimmed up to the edge of the poster.

Some collectors feel that this poster is one of the best of these because Mickey is shown not once, but nine times! There are three copies of this poster known to exist. This is the better of the two in private collections, and has been placed on linen to replace the upper right and lower left corners which had been torn off within the white borders. There is also minor color touch to the fold lines with a bit more to the white area of the center point. Heritage is proud to offer this spectacular one sheet that will appeal to collectors of Disneyana, movie posters, animation, and Americana. It has had the linen trimmed up to the edge of the poster. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.
Hawaiian Holiday (RKO, 1937). Poster (30" X 40").
In this Disney classic, Mickey Mouse takes the whole gang on vacation to Hawaii. He serenades Minnie with his ukulele, Pluto chases crabs, Donald manages to burn his hula skirt and tail feathers,and Goofy learns to surf. In fact, the cartoon could have been the first in the Goofy series of "How To's". The beautiful thing about this 30x40 is that it captures Walt Disney's two greatest characters on the surfboard, which should make this poster especially appealing to surfing enthusiasts, animation collectors, Disneyana fans and movie poster aficianados. The poster has had minor airbrushing around the edges to restore some minor flaking and chipping. This particular format (30"x 40") is among the rarest size for any Disney poster and, in fact, this is the only copy of this particular poster known to exist. It was printed in eight colors- an expensive process in 1937. Also, during this time, RKO didn't create one sheets for their short subjects so many theatres wouldn't order the 30x40 format making this item or any Disney poster from this era almost impossible to find. Very Fine on Paper.

Donald's Garden (RKO, 1942). One Sheet (27" X 41").
There's no doubt that this cartoon was issued during World War II as Walt Disney's most popular Duck plants his Victory Garden in the shape of a "V" to support the war effort. The condition of this one sheet is breathtaking as it has been linen-backed just to remove the fold lines. There is minimal color touch to the fold lines, and even then, in only a few spots. Near Mint- on Linen.

Two Weeks Vacation (RKO, 1952). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Lovable but dimwitted Goofy began his career in the 1930s, created by Disney animator Art Babbitt. Voice actor Pinto Colvig gave life to Goofy with his aw-shucks attitude and oft repeated "Gawrsh." Colvig, who was also the voice of Grumpy and Sleepy in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, had a falling out with Walt Disney and left in 1937, but returned to the studio in 1941 where he stayed until the 1960s. In this wonderful short, Goofy takes a vacation where everything goes wrong, including a flat tire, a motel room near the railroad tracks, and a runaway trailer. This restored one sheet only had fold wear and crossfold separations, and displays beautifully. Very Fine+ on Linen.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (RKO, 1937). Insert (14" X 36").
Considered at the time to be "Disney's Folly," this animated feature length film - the first ever produced in the United States - was a considerable gamble for the studio. Although both his brother, Roy, and his wife, Lillian, tried to talk Walt out of undertaking this expensive project, the legendary creator believed in it so much that he actually mortgaged his home to finance it. The film spent three years in production, racking up a cost of more than $1.5 million, and revolutionized animation in the process. The result was a fantastic success, quickly becoming the highest-grossing feature ever at the time (it was supplanted in 1939 by Gone With the Wind). It remains today one of Disney's finest achievements, a perennial favorite for generations of fans. The beautiful insert offered here, featuring glorious art by Gustaf Tenggren, had pinholes in the corners, staining in the borders, small edge tears, a tear in the bottom right corner, small holes in the lower left border and in the image area, chips in the bottom right border and the top left corner, and light fold wear. Professional restoration has expertly addressed these issues, making this a poster that any collector will be proud to own. Fine- on Paper.

Pinocchio (RKO, 1940). Insert (14" X 36").
Walt Disney's second full length animated feature, was reportedly the end result of more than 2,000,000 drawings, in part because Disney, determined to get it exactly right, discarded more than 2,300 feet of film--representing more than five months work by his animators. An Academy award winner for best score, best song and best music, the film remains one of the studio's most popular productions. Prior to restoration, this original issue insert had some light wrinkling, edge wear with tiny chips and edge tears, a small chip in the top left corner, a crease in the bottom right corner and horizontal creases in the field. A beautiful poster from the era of classic Disney animation. Fine on Paper.

Pinocchio (RKO, R-1954). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Based on the classic children's fable by Carlo Collodi, this was an ambitious production for the still-young Disney Studios. Although it was a box office disappointment upon its initial release, the film became a hit in later years, eventually earning distinction as a true animated classic. The picture won two Academy Awards, one for Best Original Score, and the other for Best Original Song (the immortal "When You Wish Upon a Star"), and continues to be popular with each new generation. Posters from this picture are extremely desirable. The one sheet offered here had fold wear with some crossfold separation, a small chip in the top right corner, a corner bend in the top left, and light edge chipping in the top border, but these slight flaws are barely noticeable thanks to the expert restoration that this poster has enjoyed. For anyone who is young - or young at heart - this is a poster you'll treasure forever. Very Fine- on Linen.

Bambi (RKO, R-1948). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style A.
The original one sheet, and for that matter most of the posters, from the first release of this Walt Disney classic are seen today as some of the least visually appealing paper that the studio would issue during this hey-day period. This first re-release one sheet, with its wonderfully evocative artwork, is far more attractive than it's original counterpart, and is almost as difficult to find. The copy offered here has pinholes in the top corners, very light edge wear, creasing in the bottom right corner, and pinpoint crossfold separation, but is still extremely fresh and attractive, a glorious sheet for any fan of this classic film. Very Fine+.

Peter Pan (RKO, 1953). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Nearly 20 years in the planning, Walt Disney's vision of J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan finally hit movie screens in 1953 and the final product was certainly worth the wait. The story of the boy who wouldn't grow up, his adventures in Neverland, his encounters with the Darling family, and of course, the villainous Captain Hook, are beautifully rendered by Disney's famed "Nine Old Men," the animators who were responsible for the distinctive, lush Disney animation style. It was the final film in which all nine members would work together as directing animators. The one sheet has enlarged pinholes in the corners, edge wear with minor tears, cross fold separation, and a small chip on the top left corner. Very Fine.

Victory Through Air Power (United Artists, 1943). One Sheet (27" X 41").
The film that persuaded FDR to pursue strategic bombing against the Axis powers was produced as a WWII documentary by Disney Studios.

Some of the animation from the film is pictured on this poster which shows minor tears in the borders and small amount of crossfold separations. The poster also has a small chip in the top vertical fold. Fine+.

Here is one of the wartime Disney animated propaganda films that was not seen for years after World War II.

The film is rarely shown today, but it is featured on the DVD Walt Disney Treasures: On the Front Lines, a compilation of Disney's wartime shorts released on May 18, 2004.

This is an amazing stone litho cartoon poster for one of the very early Mickey and Minnie Mouse talking cartoons.

This extremely clean sheet has only very minor touch-up to folds and a very minor tear in the upper right border. Very Fine/Near Mint on Paper.

A Hard Day's Night (United Artists, 1964). One Sheet (27" X 41").
The first and many would say best film from the Fab Four, A Hard Day's Night was thrown together on a rush schedule at the height of Beatlemania. Shot in pseudo-documentary style, the film purports to show a typical day in the life of the group. Called "the Citizen Kane of jukebox musicals," the film earned accolades from Robert Ebert who has cited it as one of the best films of all time and Time magazine who included it in the Top 100 films of the last 80 years. This very nice copy has light ghosting in the credits, a smudge on the letter "H," faint foxing in the right corners, and fold wear. Very Fine+.

Head (Columbia, 1968). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style A.
The Monkees' only feature length film, the avant-garde Head, was a commentary on the manufactured mania that made them stars.

Jailhouse Rock (MGM, 1957). Six Sheet (81" X 81").
Regarded as one of Elvis Presley's best films, this musical presents Presley as a rebel imprisoned for accidentally killing a man. Behind bars, a friendly convict (Mickey Shaughnessy) convinces Presley to perform in the upcoming prison show. He likes it so much that he starts up a record label with a new love (Judy Tyler -- who would die in a traffic accident shortly after completing this film), but when success goes to his head, Elvis must learn a lesson in loyalty. The plot grows as thick as the Presley head of hair, and the songs swing like Presley on a prison pole.

Elia Kazan directed one of the greatest films in movie history; a gritty, hard-hitting expose of the mob and their attempts to control the dockyard unions in this Marlon Brando thriller.

On the Waterfront (Columbia, 1954). One Sheet (27" X 41").
One of the most powerful films of the 1950s, On the Waterfront is a gritty tale of corruption, mob violence, and murder. The "naming names" theme of the film is seen by some as an allegory of the era's anti-Communist investigations. Waterfront features a number of strong performances including Marlon Brando in his riveting "I coulda been a contenda" role, Eva Marie Saint in her screen debut, and a host of others. Nominated for a dozen Academy Awards, the film captured eight Oscars including Best Picture and Director (Elia Kazan), Best Story and Screenplay (Budd Schulberg), Best Actor (Brando), and Best Supporting Actress (Saint). Lee J. Cobb, Karl Malden, and Rod Steiger also received Bust Supporting Actor nominations. Interestingly, this was the only non-musical for which Leonard Bernstein provided the score. This striking one sheet has slight fold separations, fold wear, edge wear and an extra vertical fold. This one sheet with a striking image of Brando in one of his most famous roles is destined to be a prize acquisition for the discriminating collector. Fine/Very Fine.

Paul Newman is Fast Eddie Felsen, who pits his skills against the legendary Minnesota Fats (Jackie Gleason) in this taut drama directed by Robert Rossen. This excellent Japanese STB is superior to much of the American paper, and features a great shot of Newman at the table. The poster has edge wear with small tears, foxing in the right border and a few specks of foxing in the image. Rack 'em up, and get your bid in early for this beauty. Folded, Very Fine.

The Hustler (20th Century Fox, 1961). Six Sheet (81" X 81").
The penultimate film directed by Robert Rosson before his death five years later, The Hustler is shot through with terrific performances (George C. Scott, Jackie Gleason, Piper Laurie), most of which were nominated for Oscars and didn't win. Ironically, Paul Newman did win an Oscar as "Fast Eddie" Felson -- but not until 1986's sequel The Color of Money. This impressive six sheet has great images of the cast, and is especially eye-catching in this size. Very light edge wear was the only condition issue, and the linen has been trimmed to the edge of the poster. Very Fine on Linen.

Cool Hand Luke (Warner Brothers, 1967). Italian 4 - Folio (55" X 78").
Paul Newman was handed the role of "Luke", which would eventually leave his mark in cinema history, and he gives a great performance in this comedy-drama about a man's resistance to the prison system he is locked up in. Cool Hand Luke gave the the audience the infamous line said by Strother Martin, "What we've got here is a failure to communicate?". This poster has some ghosting in the credits area and minor fold and pinpoint crossfold separations. Excellent artwork of Newman. Very Fine.

Cool Hand Luke (Warner Brothers, 1967). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
It's almost hard to believe that the title role in this film was originally offered to Telly Savalas, especially after Paul Newman's unforgettable performance. His outcast character cemented his place in Silver Screen history, and director Stuart Rosenberg's movie remains an American classic beloved by millions. This three sheet has pinholes on the border and in the image, a tear from top to tag line on the right side, fold wear with centerfold separations and slight paper loss, minor chips and tears around the borders. This is an impressive image to behold, and the large formats posters are rare for this title. Very Good/Fine on Linen.

Cool Hand Luke (Warner Brothers, 1967). Lobby Card Set of 8 (11" X 14").
It is perhaps the late Paul Newman's most memorable role, that of a stubborn redneck who turns a stint on a chain gang into a one-man war on conformity. Two of the cards bear dust shadows, and another has some small scuffs -- in short, a remarkably clean set of lobby cards. Very Fine+.

Cool Hand Luke (Warner Brothers, 1967). Japanese B2 (20" X 29").
Paul Newman stars in his Oscar nominated performance as Luke; a man who rebels against anything and everything in his society; an attitude that puts him on a prison chain gang. This Japanese poster captures the iconic actor exuding a cocky arrogance with a smirk on his face. The poster has a pinhole in each corner and has several creases and bumps to each corner as well. Rolled, Fine/Very Fine.

Bullitt (Warner Brothers, 1968). French Grande (47" X 63").
Bullitt, the film for which Steve McQueen is best remembered it's his personal favorite as well, features one of the best car chase scenes in film history. More importantly however, the film also deserves credit for influencing the action film genre that was to emerging at the time and which is still with us today. This large size poster features a stark image of McQueen as Frank Bullitt, and has staple holes in the borders and image area, two tears on the right edge, a small stain on the left border, a crease in the top left corner and ghosting in the credits.

Pickup (Columbia, 1951). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Hugo Haas directs and stars in this lurid tale of an older railroad worker who is enticed into marriage by a sultry vixen (Beverly Michaels) interested in his money. Things heat up when she falls for the younger, hunkier Allan Nixon. Haas directed several other sensationalized pictures in the 1950s, with similar themes of busty dames leading men astray. This one sheet has pinholes in the corners, edge wear, fold and crossfold separations, a 1" tear on the left edge, and a slight stain in the lower black field. A sizzling shot of Michaels makes this poster a winner. Fine+.

A perfect representation of the 1960s, both in form and content, this is the famous poster designed by John Van Hamersveld for Bruce Brown's legendary documentary about two young surfers (Mike Hynson and Robert August) in search of the perfect wave, and some of the colorful characters they meet along the way.

All About Eve (20th Century Fox, 1950). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
One of the cinema's greatest dramas featured Bette Davis as an aging star and her understudy who plots to take over her mentor's world. Marilyn Monroe made a brief appearance in the film and fortunately, Fox decided to feature their ingénue on one -- and only one -- lobby card for the Joseph L. Mankiewicz classic. This card is rarely available, and when it does show up, it sells fast! The card has small tears to the right and upper left borders, tape on the reverse behind the tears, and corner bumps. Fine/Very Fine.

The April 7, 1952 issue of Life magazine featured Marilyn Monroe's first cover appearance, which was advertised with this promotional poster used at newsstands across the country.

Niagara (20th Century Fox, 1953). Lobby Card Set of 8 (11" X 14").
By holding her own opposite Joseph Cotten and Jean Peters in this atmospheric film noir, Marilyn Monroe proved to be as strong a dramatic actress as she was a comedic one. Monroe appears on all but one of the cards in this set, and card #4, the "record scene," is one of the most sought-after Monroe lobby cards. Card #7 has a chip out of the bottom border, the title card has surface abrasions to the bottom right corner, and all have pinholes in the corners. Fine/Very Fine.

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (20th Century Fox, 1953). Poster (40" X 60").
"Two Little Girls From Little Rock," Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe, wind their way across the Atlantic to Paris on an elegant ocean liner, all the while searching for rich husbands. Under the direction of Howard Hawks (and with the minor help of famed substitute singer Marni Nixon), Marilyn has one of her best-known screen moments with her rendition of "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend." This very rare and unique poster is the far superior image from this musical. These 40" X 60"s were printed on a heavy stock and far fewer copies were printed. Since they were somewhat fragile to handle, this format has survived less frequently. This poster had edge wear and two small tears in the top border and tears at the bottom border and top center that extended into the field or art, all of which have been repaired. Fine/Very Fine

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (20th Century Fox, 1953). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Although this picture was originally slated to star Betty Grable, the success of Niagara (1953), starring Marilyn Monroe, caused the studio to reconsider (the fact that Grable was making $150,000 per picture as opposed to Monroe's $18,000 probably had something to do with it as well). The "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" number would become Monroe's signature tune. Offered here is a beautiful one sheet featuring Monroe and co-star Jane Russell. It had foldwear, a top left corner chip, and an extra vertical fold at the top, but these slight defects have been rendered virtually invisible after the application of expert professional restoration. Very Fine- on Linen.

Some Like it Hot (United Artists, 1959). One Sheet (27" X 41").
A genuine comedy classic - the American Film Institute selected it as the greatest American comedy film of all-time - Some Like it Hot is the rollicking tale of two Twenties-era musicians (Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis) who witness a gangland massacre and escape by donning women's clothing and joining an all-female band. Marilyn Monroe is delightful as the ukulele-playing Sugar Kane, complemented by a supporting group including Joe E. Brown, George Raft, and Pat O'Brien. The film earned Lemmon and director Billy Wilder Academy Award nominations, and appropriately enough the Oscar for Costuming. This wonderful one sheet had a small tear in the bottom right corner, a paper lift on the lower left, a small chip in the left border, and a chip in the right bottom border, all meticulously addressed in restoration to create a spectacular display piece.

Marilyn Monroe was never hotter or more hilarious than in her role here as Sugar Kane Kowalczyk. It's a wild ride with Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis cross-dressing and tango-dancing while escaping from George Raft and the mob. The insert has pinholes in the top corners of the yellow field, faint smudges, and small tears in the right border. None of these minor issues distract from how spectacular this poster displays.

The Misfits (United Artists, 1961). French Grande (47" X 63").
The final film for both Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable (who suffered a heart attack just one day after filming concluded), this is the story of a sexy divorcee who takes up with two men, both of whom fall for her. The script was by Monroe's then-husband Arthur Miller, and John Houston was in the director's chair. The French, with the help of artist Roger Soubie, produced a much prettier campaign for this film than the lackluster American effort! This lovely poster, which keeps to the same design as the elusive International release one sheet, with the jigsaw puzzle design, is magnificent in that the colors and design are striking! The poster had some small amount of fold wear but was beautifully restored onto linen. There was a small bit of original overprint in the yellow field above the Gable image. Very Fine on Linen.

British author Ian Fleming studied several languages and traveled the world with school and military service during WWII (British Naval Intelligence), before eventually settling in to Jamaica to write.

This classy insert, with artwork by Mitchell Hooks, had pinholes in the bottom corners and one in the lower white field, tape stains in the top corners, and fold wear before being professionally restored. Very Fine on Paper.

Sean Connery sets the style for the suave, thrilling British secret agent, along with Joseph Wiseman as Dr. Julius No, the first evil mastermind to cross paths with Bond, and Swiss bombshell Ursula Andress as bikini-clad Honey Rider. This stunning country-of-origin quad has been professionally restored to address light fold wear, minor pinholes in the corners, and a minor chip in the left border at the fold. One of the best posters from this blockbuster, the smoking artwork is by Mitchell Hooks. Very Fine+ on Linen.

The Devil's Brother (MGM, 1933). Pre-War Australian Daybill (15" X 37").
Stan Laurel often stated that of all the Laurel and Hardy films, this one was a top favorite. Set in early eighteenth century Northern Italy, the boys aptly enough play "Stanlio" and "Ollio," the two 18th century bunglers who pose as Fra Diavolo, the singing bandit. When they attempt to rob the real Diavolo, he sets the boys straight, quick! The film is noted for Stan's increasingly rapid game of Earsy-Kneesy-Nosey. This wonderful early Daybill with artwork by Al Hirschfeld, is lovely in its simplicity and featuring a great image of Thelma Todd! The film was released in the U.S. as The Devil's Brother. The poster had some small holes in the image beginning in Laurel's chin and extending into the title box. There was also a hole in Hardy's cheek and some wear within the yellow title box. These issues were expertly restored making for a magnificent display piece. Fine+ on Linen.

You Can't Cheat an Honest Man (Universal, 1939). Mini Window Card (8" X 14").

Love (Paramount, 1919). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
One of the great Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle's comedy shorts produced by his own company, Comique, where he had complete control, both writing and directing.

Arbuckle was extremely popular at the time, as evidenced by the small bottom border logo, "As Well Known as the Face of the Man in the Moon." There is a pinhole, and a minor corner chip in the lower left of this very desirable card. Very Fine-.
One of the great Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle's comedy shorts produced by his own company, Comique, where he had complete control, both writing and directing. It was distributed by Paramount, who, in the same year, would talk Arbuckle into signing with them and appearing in feature length films. That's perky Winifred Westover, Arbuckle's love interest, at his side. A delightful find, with nice photo insets on the sides, with Arbuckle and Westover both holding farm animals. Arbuckle was extremely popular at the time, as evidenced by the small bottom border logo, "As Well Known as the Face of the Man in the Moon." There is a pinhole, and a minor corner chip in the lower left of this very desirable card. Very Fine-.
Modern Age (1980-Present)
The Champion (Essanay, 1915). One Sheet (27" X 41").
This film, Charlie Chaplin's third for Essanay, was certainly (up to that time) one of his best as far as plotting, characterization, and humor goes. Chaplin plays a down and out tramp who becomes the gym's champ with the help of his lucky horseshoe and his faithful bulldog. Edna Purviance and Bud Jamieson co-star, with Bronco Billy Anderson, a founder of Essanay and the cinema's first major cowboy star, and comedian Ben Turpin making cameo appearances. Original posters from this early Charlie Chaplin film are extremely scarce, and this style one sheet is, as far as we know, one of only two known to have survived since its release 94 years ago. Another style one sheet from the original release also exists. The beautiful stone lithography still retains its original vibrancy. Prior to restoration, there was fold wear with some chipping, crossfold separations, extra vertical creases with two v-shaped creases at top and bottom, staining on the left and right sides, slight paper loss along the right border, corner bends, and tears on the borders. Very Good+ on Paper.

Movie Posters
Pay Day (First National, 1922). Lobby Card Set of 8 (11" X 14").
Comedian Charlie Chaplin plays an under-paid bricklayer who must contend with his brute of a wife if he wants to keep any of his hard earned money. Mr. Chaplin wrote and directed this comedy short. All cards from this set have several pinholes, as well as age stains. The cards, at first glance, appear to have been trimmed, but we believe are not, but irregularities inherent of this age. The card of Charlie and the girl with the basket is mounted on card stock. Lobbies from Chaplin's early films are getting tougher to find. A full set of lobbies from one of his comedy shorts is a treasure in any condition. Very Good/Fine.

A Dog's Life (First National, 1918). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
Called "His First Million Dollar Picture" on the poster, this was Charlie Chaplin's initial film for First National Pictures and, clocking in at 40 minutes, his first three reeler. Chaplin's contract with First National gave him unprecedented creative control over his work for the studio and he used it to create some of his best short comedies. Scraps the dog co-starred in this delightful comedy, along with his regular co-star, Edna Purviance. There were several tears in the borders and field of this poster, a large tear from the top through Chaplin's head, considerable paper loss on the borders, chips in the fold lines, and large holes in the body of the poster. All this has been beautifully restored, giving this extremely rare poster a wonderfully fresh appearance. Airbrush work is apparent throughout. Good+ on Linen.

The Circus (United Artists, 1928). Window Card (14" X 22").
Perhaps because of problems during production -- a studio fire, a divorce, a nervous breakdown -- The Circus is the only Charlie Chaplin film not mentioned in his autobiography. However, the Motion Picture Academy considered his last true silent film good enough to award a special Oscar. This window card had tack holes, surface abrasions, and paper loss in the left border, small edge tears, and two holes next to Chaplin's head. Some of these issues have been addressed with restoration, and the card has been mounted on linen, with the linen trimmed to the edge of the poster. Beautiful color on this fun image of Charlie. Fine on Linen.

City Lights (United Artists, 1931). Window Card (14" X 22").
Paper from this Charlie Chaplin masterpiece is incredibly rare and we are proud to offer for the first time this original release window card. Made at the beginning of the talking era, Chaplin was in a dilemma as to whether to make this film as a silent, and all audiences have been forever pleased he chose to do so, with an incredible musical score which he also composed. As only he could do, Chaplin tells the heartbreaking and amusing story of a poor tramp who loves a blind flower girl, played by Virginia Cherrill, future wife of Cary Grant. This professionally restored window card had a tear on the right edge that extends into his hat and title area, and there was a surface paper loss at the bottom border. The stone litho artwork is superb with the iconic images of the beloved Tramp. Fine+ on Cardstock.

The General (United Artists, 1950s). Polish One Sheet (23" X 33").
Originally released in 1927, this is one of Buster Keaton's masterpieces, and, reportedly, his very favorite film. Keaton plays Johnny Gray, an engineer who loves his train -- The General of the title --and his girlfriend, Annabelle Lee (Marion Mack). When the Civil War breaks out, Keaton must rescue both of his loves from the invading Union forces. Offered here is an extremely evocative Polish poster, with art by famed poster artist Waldemar Swierzy. It had some edge wear with small tears, but professional restoration has rendered these small flaws virtually invisible. For any fan of "The Great Stone Face," this is a must-have! Very Fine on Linen.

Doughboys (MGM, 1930). Swedish One Sheet (27.5" X 39.5").
In one of his first "talkies," Buster Keaton stars as a rich society loafer who falls for a girl who'll have nothing to do with him until he accidentally volunteers for the army. Luckily, Mary's signed up to entertain the troops. Unluckily, Elmer's sergeant likes Mary too. On top of that, they're all about to ship out for France during the height of the Great War. This Swedish poster has a 4" tear on top, light edge wear, corner dings. Rolled, Fine+.

Girl Shy (Pathé, 1924). Lobby Cards (4) (11" X 14").
Unquestionably one of the kings of silent comedy at his peak, Harold Lloyd was more popular than Chaplin and has been called the movie's "first nerd hero." After creating Willie Work and Lonesome Luke, two variations of Chaplin's famous Tramp, Lloyd struck pay dirt with Glasses, who sported what became his trademark round horn-rimmed spectacles. These lobby cards from the silent Girl Shy all feature Lloyd at his earnest best. The cards had pinholes in the image as well as a few edge tears, but with professional restoration they now look near mint. Very Good/Fine.

Frank Merriwell in Arizona (Tip Top, 1910). One Sheet (27" X 41").
A rare piece of early film history! Frank Merriwell is the All-American hero: a tremendous athlete who stars in all sports, a righter of wrongs, and a master detective. Of course he is also clean-living, virtuous, and an all-around nice guy. Merriwell starred in dime novels, films, and ultimately comic books. This beautiful stone litho one sheet will be a jewel in any collection with its vibrant colors. The poster had pinholes in the top corners, fold wear with several chips on the two top horizontal folds, chips on the top left and bottom right corners, and small chips in the right border, all expertly repaired to create a highly collectible one sheet. Fine+ on Linen.

Snare of Society (Lubin, 1911). One Sheet (27" X 40.5").
Florence Lawrence originally became known as the "Biograph Girl" and worked at that studio under the direction of D.W. Griffith. She left Biograph in 1909 to seek more recognizable employment at another film company and went to work for Carl Leammle, who had just started Independent Motion Picture Company, or IMP in New York. She and her husband, Harry Solter were IMP's first featured players. In 1910 Leammle decided to advertise the fact that he had signed Ms. Lawrence and the first Movie Star was born. The publicity made her famous and increased Leammle's grosses and consequently, other companies followed suit. She left IMP and moved to Lubin Studios the following year and that is where this film was made. This is an incredibly rare one sheet from one of Ms. Lawrence's early films and it is directed by her husband at the time, Harry Solter. This is the only copy of this one sheet known, that we are aware of. The poster had just minor border chipping and very minor fold and crossfold wear. This is a historical piece that should not be missed. Very Fine+on Linen.

Fighting Death (Box Office Attractions, 1914). One Sheet (27" X 41").
In the early years of the twentieth century, professional daredevils were all the rage. Men like Ormer Locklear, the first man to walk on the wing of an airplane, played to packed crowds from one end of the country to the other. It wasn't long before Hollywood noticed these daring young men, and signed the best of them to lucrative film contracts. One of the very best was Rodman "Daredevil" Law, a pioneering parachute performer whose feats of daring included a leap from the top of the Statue of Liberty, a jump from an airplane at 6,000 feet, and an attempt to ride a skyrocket over the Jersey marshes (rather than taking off, the skyrocket exploded, flinging Law quite a distance, but injuring him only slightly). Law made four films between 1912 and 1914, with this marking his last silver screen appearance. He died at the age of 34, in 1919, of tuberculosis. The stunning stone litho poster offered here, very nearly 100 years old, pictures Law performing one of his daring stunts. It had missing paper along all four borders, fold wear with crossfold separation, tears in the image area, and a tear on the right side, but professional restoration has expertly addressed all these minor flaws, returning the poster to a "Near Mint" appearance. An opportunity to add this gem to your collection may never come again. Good/Very Good on Linen.

A Film Exposure (Triangle, 1917). One Sheet (27" X 41").
In 1915, the Triangle Film Corporation was founded in Culver City, California by Harry and Roy Aitken, brothers who would pioneer the studio system that would define Hollywood for the next several decades. Considered a prestige studio, Triangle soon attracted such leading talents as D. W. Griffith, Thomas Ince, Mack Sennett, Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks Sr., Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, and Lillian Gish. Their success was fleeting, however, and in 1918, they were absorbed into Samuel Goldwyn's Goldwyn Pictures Corporation. Today, the studio is primarily remembered for some of their landmark successes, including the popular Keystone Kops pictures and Griffith's landmark epic, Birth of a Nation. Little is known about the movie represented here, save that it starred Jay Dwiggins - presumably the man in the center of the poster - an actor with nearly fifty films to his credit between 1914 and his death in 1919. Nonetheless, this is a stunning example of stone lithography. Prior to expert professional restoration, it had pinholes in the corners, fold wear with crossfold separation and some paper loss at the top fold, as well as some chipping at the fold in the right border, in the left border, and in the center fold line. Other than these extremely minor flaws, the poster is in superb condition, a fabulous reminder of a bygone age. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

The Delicious Little Devil (Universal, R-1920s). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
Rudolph Valentino was starting to make a name for himself in this, one of seven films he made in 1919, and one of only three still surviving. Originally given fourth billing, he was elevated to star status with this re-issue. There was some staining in the field and there is airbrushing in the credits area. There was fold wear with chips at the the cross folds and a piece was missing from his right hand, multiple chips with paper loss in the field, and the poster had been trimmed on all borders, but professional restoration has addressed these issue to produce a stunning stone litho poster of one of Hollywood's greatest legends. If you are fan of Valentino or an aficionado of early Hollywood, this stunningly designed poster would be a great addition to your collection. Good+ on Linen.

The Auction Block (MGM, 1926). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Leading man Charles Ray had been a star in Hollywood for a decade by the time this romantic comedy silent was filmed in 1926. He plays recently married Bob Wharton, who unwittingly becomes entangled with flirtatious Bernice (Sally O'Neil) on his honeymoon trip with Lorelei (Eleanor Boardman).

Manslaughter (Paramount, 1922). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
This Cecil B. DeMille morality production features two of his favorite actors and top stars of the silent era, Thomas Meighan and Leatrice Joy, who was married to John Gilbert at this time.

This exquisite card has pinholes, small creases, and corner bumps in three corners. There is a pinhole in the right border and one in the image, light handling wear, light edge wear at the top border, a minor chip at the left edge, and one in the lower right corner.

Alice Brady Stock (Select, 1918). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Alice Brady was an excellent actress, appearing in 33 Broadway shows from 1911-1933, including the first production of Eugene O'Neill's Mourning Becomes Electra. With Select Pictures from 1918-1919, she appeared in many romantic leads as evidenced by this stone lithograph beauty of a poster done by the venerable Morgan Litho Corp. Brady won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar in 1937 for In Old Chicago, but was unable to accept the award personally. A man walked up, accepted for her, and neither he nor the Oscar have been seen since! She was given a replacement Oscar and Heritage auctioned it for $60,000. Later in her career, Brady endeared herself to audiences with her prolific portrayals of addlebrained society matrons and world-weary matriarchs (My Man Godfrey, Three Smart Girls, etc.). There were chips and tiny tears in the folds and at the bottom border, edge wear, and mild wrinkles. This one sheet also had a 6" area of paper loss in the upper right corner and a tear in the hat. These issues have all been addressed by professional restoration, and with its rich colors, it displays beautifully. Fine- on Linen.

This was the first feature film shot in Hollywood entirely in Technicolor's two-strip color process. The card has a chop in the upper left corner and some wear to the right edge. There are pinholes in the corners and a dust shadow in the left border and lower left corner. This card is from a very important film in the history of cinema. Fine.

This film, the first feature shot entirely in Technicolor, was a major hit for Metro and launched Wong's career which would last until her death in 1961 at the age of 56. The card has a chip from the upper and lower right corners and wear to the right border. There is water-staining to the lower and left borders but the image remains untouched! This is a beautiful hand-tinted card. Fine-.
Moby Dick (Warner Brothers, 1930). Window Card (14" X 22").
John Barrymore portrays one of literature's most iconic characters in this early talkie adaptation of Herman Melville's classic novel. This was Barrymore's second take on the Ahab character as he starred in an earlier adaptation, a silent version entitled The Sea Beast. Posters on this title are extremely rare (we have never sold anything on this title before), so don't miss your chance to acquire this unique item. There is light smudging on the borders, corner damage on the bottom left and top right, and a corner chip on the bottom right. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Eternal Love (United Artists, 1929). Pre-War Belgian (24.5" X 33").
The great Ernst Lubitsch directs his last silent film, and his only film with John Barrymore. This film was recently restored for DVD release with the original pre-synchronized sound music tracks. Critics were unanimous in their praise of this long unseen masterpiece. This is a very rare pre-war Belgian poster and lovely example of stone lithography at its finest! The poster had some chips in the borders, one in the lower right and one in the upper left which extended into the artwork. The poster had the upper imprint area trimmed and that has been replaced. The restoration work was well done and now looks as if near mint. Fine+ on Linen.

Hollywood (Paramount, 1923). Six Sheet (81" X 81").
This spectacular and very rare six sheet poster, with its colorful stone litho artwork by Fronder, is one of the most beautiful examples of poster art that celebrates the early days of Hollywood. With an all-star cast full of cameos, the film is a real who's who of early Hollywood cinema, including: William and Cecil B. de Mille, Douglas Fairbanks, Fatty Arbuckle, Charles Chaplin, Mary Astor, Gloria Swanson, Mary Pickford, Pola Negri, Richard Dix, and many more. It also features the classic Hollywood story of the girl who comes to Tinseltown to make it big in the movies. This extremely rare and highly prized six sheet, the only one known to exist, would undoubtedly be the centerpiece to any cinematic poster collection. The poster has been professionally restored to address fold wear with some paper loss in the credits area, crossfold separations with small chips, creases, and a few tears in the blue field. The one sheet for this title, with entirely different art, sold in 1993 for a extraordinary amount of money, given the time frame. Here is probably your only chance to acquire this fantastic beauty.

Lights of London (Gaumont British, 1923). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
Wanda Hawley was one of silent screen's brightest stars for a short while, and her popularity was reported to rival that of Gloria Swanson. Little is known about this film other than it was produced by Gaumont British Studios in England and was distributed by the second string studio of Lee-Bradford in the U.S.. Prior to professional restoration the poster had some minor wear and tears, with some chipping in the center vertical fold. This three sheet displays gorgeous stone lithography by Morgan Litho.

The American Venus (Paramount, 1926). Title Card and Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Much has been written about the iconic Louise Brooks and the importance of her personal stamp on the 1920s in New York and Hollywood. This rare title card and lobby card are from her second film, in which she appeared as a contestant in an Atlantic City beauty contest. The movie was so popular, it toured the U.S. for two years; by the time it left theaters, Brooks had become one of the most written-about female stars in Hollywood. Though the borders have been trimmed and replaced, the restoration is high quality. Very Good.

The American Venus (Paramount, 1926). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style C.
One of the first films to use two-strip Technicolor in some of the sequences, this film was a look at the Miss America Beauty Pageant circa 1926. Esther Ralston is the star and is the woman pictured on the poster with her measurements intact! Louise Brooks had a small part in the film and is the reason why the film is well-known. This lovely one sheet is something of a "Teaser" poster as no credits are shown. The poster has small chips to the border and one small hole in the upper crossfold between the word "arm and "bust." The restoration was very well a done and the poster displays magnificently. Very Fine- on Linen.

Houdini "Buried Alive" (Otis Litho, 1926). Eight Sheet (106" X 81").
The legendary illusionist Harry Houdini managed one final feat, escaping death by shrouding his life in myth. Even as he worked to demystify magic and expose frauds who claimed supernatural gifts, his life followed an ominous path that only contributed to his legend. His death by peritonitis occurred on Halloween of 1926 in Detroit, where he was preparing to perform a stunt in which he would be buried alive. He intended for the escape to top that of another magician who had angered Houdini by boasting that he had summoned a supernatural trance to survive and liberate himself. This eight sheet promotes the feat and Houdini's revenge on the "Egyptian fakirs." Historians doubt if he ever had a chance to attempt the trick; when he died, the casket to be used in the performance was instead used to carry his body back to New York. The beautiful stone litho poster had a long vertical tear on the left side of the field, fold and crossfold wear with chips out, small chips in the image and the borders, all of which has been addressed with excellent professional restoration. Very Good on Linen.

Houdini (Paramount, 1953). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
George Marshall's thrilling Technicolor biopic -- with some artistic liberties -- about the master escape artist, featuring Tony Curtis and his then-wife, Janet Leigh, remains a favorite for all. The poster has a tear in the top border that extends into the image, slight paper loss at the crossfolds, chips from the top border, along the edges, to the right side of the image near Leigh's feet, and a missing bottom left corner. This is a spectacular image of the two stars! Fine on Linen.

Chicago (Pathé, 1927). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Here it is, the original Chicago, with Phyllis Haver playing the role of the infamous Roxy Hart! This was the first version, made at almost the time of the original scandalous murder. The story would later spawn another version in the 1940s as well as a Broadway musical and Academy Award winning film. This great scene card has the caption that reads "Grooming her for the trial." That is Robert Edson, playing the role of attorney, Billy Flynn, which was played by Richard Gere in the recent musical version. The card has just the most minor wear and a small stain in the image. Very Fine/Near Mint. .

When Knighthood was in Flower (Paramount, 1922). Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style A.
Based on the best-selling novel by Charles Major, this story was turned into a Broadway play before William Randolph Hearst purchased it as a vehicle for his mistress Marion Davies. She stars as Mary Tudor, younger sister to King Henry VIII, who loves a commoner. There was a tear on the right and left edge each extending just into the image area, a small chip in the top and lower right corner. The restoration of this poster was expertly done and these issues are not apparent; this regal gem now displays beautifully in all its glorious color. Fine on Paper.

Paid in Full (Paramount, 1919). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Like many stars of the early cinema, Pauline Frederick came from the Broadway stage to the movies and in the process created a larger name for herself than she ever did on the stage. By 1919, she was at the height of her career and the posters Paramount created for her were among their best. This image of Pauline is quite stunning. There is a slight chance that this may be a "stock" image used for several of her films as the title bears a quality similar to other stock one sheets. The poster had a chip out of the upper right corner and the upper portion of the left border. There was a tiny chip out of Frederick's back and minor color touch to the fold lines. Fine on Linen.

The Last Card (Metro, 1921). One Sheet (27" X 41").
The Last Card was loosely based on a story from the Saturday Evening Post and was Bayard Veiller's first directing gig. Elsie Kirkwood (May Allison) plays a determined wife set out to free her innocent husband (Ralph Kirkwood) who's being framed for murder. Prior to professional restoration this poster had small edge tears, a large tear in the bottom left corner, the top left corner was missing, and there were chips along the left, right, and top borders. This poster has beautiful stone litho artwork and displays nicely. Fine on Linen.

Modern Age (1980-Present)
The Rose of Blood (Fox, 1917). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style A.
Siren-eyed Theda Bara is the main attraction in this melodrama (her first film after the blockbuster Cleopatra), where she is once again paired with her best director, J. Gordon Edwards. Bara plays a governess who falls for the prince (Charles Clary) after the death of his wife, but he refuses to marry her due to her low station. She falls in with a group of revolutionaries, and when the prince later reconsiders his love for her, she carries on a double life, which can only lead to tragedy. This gorgeous stone litho poster is a picture-perfect portrait of the lovely Bara. The poster had border chips and pieces missing from the top right corner and top center, and fold wear, but professional restoration has given it a like-new appearance, all the better to appreciate the sublime artwork. Fine+ on Linen.

The Rose of Blood (Fox, 1917). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style B.
This sterling drama of class struggle and revolution was once banned in Chicago (censors of the day thought it would inspire insurgency!) and is now considered a "lost" film. A shame, because any movie starring the strikingly attractive Theda Bara is worthy of our attention. This sublime stone litho poster, with art by Eltom, features Bara and co-star Charles Clary, and boasts terrific color and sharp clarity. The poster had some small border chips and a small chip at the top vertical fold, as well as fold wear, but these issues have been addressed with excellent professional restoration, and the piece presents very well indeed. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Bronze Age (1970-1979)
Wild, Wild Susan (Paramount, 1925). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Bebe Daniels stars as the title character who is looking for thrills and laughter and gets involved with a private detective agency tailing a gang of crooks. Daniels would have a long and illustrious career in show business which began in 1910 and lasted until 1960. She made the transition to sound films easily and starred in the first version of The Maltese Falcon and 42nd Street. The poster had some paper loss in the top border, as well as the left and right corners. There was wear to the top and bottom horizontal fold with some tearing. There was a tear in the right border leading into the blue field. There was a puncture in the blue above the name Bebe. The conservation work was performed beautifully and the poster now displays magnificently. Fine on Linen.

Clara Bow Personality Poster (Paramount, 1928). Poster (14" X 17").
A great, vivacious poster of Bow, the girl who defined sex appeal for American cinema during the silent era. She managed to rise above what was often trite material and was a consistent box office draw until the advent of sound in motion pictures. The poster has pinholes, edge wear, tape to the top border and reverse edges, corner bumps, creased top and bottom left corners, and wrinkling to the right border. Fine+.

Three Week Ends (Paramount, 1928). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
British novelist Elinor Glyn wrote a series of popular racy romance novels and when she moved to Hollywood in the early 1920s, she gained the reputation as an authority on style. She coined the term "IT" as a euphemism for sex appeal, and crowned Clara Bow the "IT Girl." Bow starred in three movies based on Glyn's writing: Red Hair, It, and Three Weekends. The card has pinholes in the left corners and lower image area, smudges and stains in the top and right borders, and creases in the corners and one at the bottom edge. Very Fine-.

Early talkie that stars Clara Bow as a drugstore girl who enjoys the company of sailors, and the sailors are led on to believe that they are the only sailor in her life.

Call Her Savage (Fox, 1932). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Calling this a "daring" pre-code drama is a strong understatement as Bow plays the wildest of women in something of a self-parody of what her off-screen image had become. She returned to the screen after an absence of over a year in this melodramatic tale of a feisty half-breed girl and her attempts to find happiness in civilized society. The big secret is that Bow's character doesn't know she's a half-breed, but to demonstrate her instinctive "savageness" the script has her "yipping" quite a bit, running around scantily clothed, and getting into vicious fights. This stone litho poster offered in this lot is all Bow, and a beauty it is. A lovely H.C. Miner litho, this poster was almost mint before linen backing. Don't pass up this chance to own a great image of the ultimate Roaring Twenties flapper.Very Fine+ on Linen.

Dangerous Curves (Paramount, 1929). Title Lobby Card and Lobby Cards (2) (11" X 14").
Clara Bow stars as a circus bareback rider who is in love with a trapeze artist (Richard Arlen) who drinks too much and is under the spell of a "vamp" (Kay Francis in an early role). The title card has two tears on the bottom border, corner bends and border creasing, and a small stain on the left border. The Bow/Arlen portrait card has light stains, a bottom left corner bend, edge chips, and a small hole in the left corner. The card with Bow, Francis, and Arlen has a chunk out of the left border, corner bends, a 3" and a 1" tear on top, pinholes in the corners, creasing, and a small edge chip. All three cards have bright color and would clean up easily in restoration. Very Good/Fine.

Her Wedding Night (Paramount, 1930). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
By 1930, Clara Bow had become one of Hollywood's biggest stars. In this comedy, she created a parody of her own image: a major actress on the run to Europe to hide out from the glitz and glitter of stardom. In a case of mistaken identity, she winds up "married" to someone she doesn't know! This is a fabulous portrait of the "It" girl and is perhaps the best card in the set. There is some bending within the body of the card, visible on Bow's right wrist. This card could easily be professionally flattened, but displays wonderfully as is. Fine+.

Girl Without a Room (Paramount, 1933). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style A.

One of Louise Brooks' earliest roles - this was only her third film, now sadly lost - A Social Celebrity tells the story of a barber (Adolphe Menjou) who inherits his father's barbershop but wants a life among the socially affluent.

This lovely card has a slight water stain in the upper border which is very faint, and a break in the lower left corner with archival linen tape on the reverse. The card displays beautifully. Fine+.

Now We're in the Air (Paramount, 1927). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
A film now presumed to be lost, this was one of the last pictures made by Louise Brooks before she left America to star in several landmark German films for director Georg Wilhelm Pabst, including Pandora's Box and Diary of a Lost Girl. Brooks is pictured, along with stars Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton, on this exquisite lobby card, in all her 1920s glory.

The restoration was magnificently done and the card appears near mint. Fine+.

The Canary Murder Case (Paramount, 1929). Window Card (14" X 22").
Louise Brooks looks outstanding in this wonderful window card from this classic early talkie featuring William Powell as the detective Philo Vance. Brooks plays a nightclub singer (a "canary") who is blackmailing suitors for money until one murders her. Made without sound, the cast was recalled to dub in their voices when sound films became the rage. Brooks, who was in Europe doing films for G.W. Pabst, refused to come back to Hollywood to record her voice, a decision that ultimately ruined her career. The card has been restored with some touchup work done to the titles and background area. The borders and top imprint area have been airbrushed, and there was some creasing and a small hole in the title area prior to restoration. The restoration work has given this stunning piece a like new appearance. Fine on Cardstock.

Lillies of the Field (First National, 1924). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Corinne Griffith stars in this emotional drama based on the stage play by William Hurlburt. She was a huge star of the silent screen and starred in the 1930 sound remake of this very film. Around that time, at the transition to sound, Griffith left the screen and went on to marry and make millions in her long lifetime that lasted 84 years. This film was praised upon its release but was also noted for its lavish art deco sets and costumes. This glorious one sheet is an indicator of that stylized era. The poster's borders on three sides has been slightly trimmed and there was minor fold wear and crossfold chipping. All of these issues were beautifully restored. Very Fine- on Linen.

Prior to professional restoration, the poster had fold wear with paper loss at the cross folds, fold separations, and tiny edge chips. Very Fine- on Linen.

Something to Think About (Paramount, 1920). Three Sheet (41" X 81") Style B.
Gloria Swanson stars as the daughter of the town blacksmith who has promised to marry one man but elopes with another. Cecil B. DeMIlle directed this altruistic melodrama in a change-of-pace (for him) style that was very different than his usual cinematic pomp and circumstance. The very visually appealing artwork on this style B three sheet is by Claude E. Millard (1887-1960), a well-known poster designer, illustrator, and decorator in the early part of the last century. The poster was missing paper in the bottom white portion, and there was a half inch trim on the right border. There was crossfold separation and fold wear with some paper loss, and chipping in the top border. The excellent restoration has beautifully restored this superb example of early movie poster art, giving it an wonderful appearance. Very Good- on Linen.

This window card has a dust shadow in the borders, a pinhole and stain in the upper right corner, and a minor corner chip in the upper left corner. A lovely portrait of bubbly Alice White.

Baby Face (Warner Brothers, 1933). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Baby Face was one of the most notorious pre-Code films to come out of Hollywood. Starring Barbara Stanwyck as Lilly "Baby Face" Palmer, a barmaid who decides to climb the social ladder by seducing every man who can open the doors for her on the way to the top. The film was submitted to the New York State Board of Censors for consideration. It was quickly rejected and soon banned across the United States for its explicit sexual innuendo. With some of its steamier scenes either cut or reshot, and a new ending tacked on, it was finally released, still full of sexual innuendo. After the Production Code was enforced in 1934, the film, even in its censored version, was not allowed to be re-released. Amazingly enough, in 2004, a copy of the original, un-edited film was unearthed in the Library of Congress. After 70 years, the uncensored Baby Face finally received its public premiere at Film Forum in New York City on January 24th, 2005 and was subsequently released on DVD in the first volume of Warners' Forbidden Hollywood collection. Heritage is pleased to be able to offer a very rare and unrestored one sheet from this classic film, one of only a handful that have ever surfaced. The poster has some extra horizontal creases, light wrinkling, and pinpoint crossfold separations. The colors on this poster are bright and fresh and this beauty would make a prized addition to anyone's collection. Very Fine-.

A real heart-tugger, this pre-Code Warner Brothers drama tells the story of a young lady (Ruth Chatterton) who works in a carnival and is deserted by her bigamist husband when he finds out that she is pregnant.

Aside from some slight fold wear, this poster is in superb condition, and is ready for you to display with pride. Very Fine+ on Linen.

I Cover the Waterfront (United Artists, 1933). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Claudette Colbert plays the daughter of a waterfront bootlegger in this pre-code era thriller. Ben Lyon, as the investigative reporter, pumps the girl for as much information as he can about the illegal activities of her father.

The poster displays restoration to the upper two corners which had chipping, some light color touch to the fold lines and some very minor airbrushing to the borders. Very Fine- on Linen.

It Happened One Night (Columbia, 1934). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
The first film to ever win all five of the top Academy Awards, this Frank Capra classic stars Clark Gable, Claudette Colbert, and Walter Connolly.

This stunning portrait of the two stars has light handling and edge wear, and a small tear in the top border that is backed with cellophane tape. Romantic comedies don't get better than this gem.

Mildred Pierce (Warner Brothers, 1950). First Post-War German A1 (23" X 33").
This film earned Joan Crawford her sole Academy Award for her portrayal of the title character. Mildred Pierce is a restaurant owner who knows no limits when taking care her privileged daughter, as well as herself.

The piece has small edge tears, tape on the right top and bottom borders, and chipping on the bottom left. Fine.

Ex-Lady (Warner Brothers, 1933). Window Card (14" X 22").
Bette Davis is at her most alluring in this early romantic drama. She stars with Gene Raymond as a modern couple who make an attempt at marriage with some distractions from Kay Strozzi and Monroe Owsley. This is an amazingly designed art-deco poster! It had pinholes and minor creases in the corners, and light edge wear. There has been very minimal professional restoration done with small pieces of Japanese paper on the reverse to reinforce the corners. It is extraordinary to find this rare card in such pristine condition. We sold a midget window card for this same film last year for $16,730! Very Fine-.

It is extraordinary to find this rare card in such pristine condition. We sold a midget window card for this same film last year for $16,730! Very Fine-.
Of Human Bondage (RKO, 1934). Pressbook (12" X 18") (Multiple Pages).
In one of the most powerful performances of her long and successful career, Bette Davis stars as the self-centered and manipulative Mildred Rogers who binds Leslie Howard's Philip to her in a torturous affair that ends in tragedy.

The program has edge wear, writing in the top right corner of the cover, a chip in the lower left corner, a corner crease, and separation at the spine. There is a small area of glue residue on pg. 11 where a herald was attached. Full of scenes from the film, and stunning portraits of the stars, this is not one to miss. Fine/Very Fine.

Satan Met a Lady (Warner Brothers, 1936). Window Card (14" X 22").
The second adaptation of Dashiell Hammett's popular novel, The Maltese Falcon, this version -- cast more in the light comedy vein of the popular Thin Man movies -- stars Warren William as Ted Shayne (standing in for Sam Spade), and Bette Davis as Valerie Purvis, both of whom find themselves caught up in a search for the fabled Horn of Roland. Although the details have been somewhat changed - the Caspar Gutman character is, in this version, played by the venerable Alison Skipworth, for example - this is still very much the story of the Maltese Falcon, and a key film for fans of the mystery/private detective genre. Paper from this movie is extremely scarce, with this being the only known copy of the stunning window card we've ever seen! There is some minor staining in the left and right borders, and the piece has had about 1" trimmed from the top border. Otherwise, it is an extremely attractive and desirable piece that is sure to enhance any collection. Fine/Very Fine.

The Letter (Warner Brothers, 1940). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
Based on a play by W. Somerset Maugham which was taken from a true story, Bette Davis stars in one of her most riveting roles. The actress plays Leslie Crosby, the wife of a wealthy plantation owner in Malaya, who kills her married lover out of jealousy and attempts to hide the truth. The film was made previously starring Jeanne Eagles in 1929. This wonderful three sheet is far superior to the one sheet and pictures a full-length image of the star holding the murder weapon. The poster has had one half of an inch added all around the perimeter of the poster. There was tearing in the Herbert Marshall image in the lower portion of the poster and the white field has had significant white paint applied. The image is bright and vibrant yet there is some small amounts of paper loss in the crossfolds and at the seam where the two panels were joined. Fine- on Linen.

Strike Up the Band (MGM, 1940). Silk Banner (37" X 54").
Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney made a number of films together and in the process became two of the highest paid stars of the 1940s. In this programmer, Rooney starts a swing band in his high school and has to raise money to travel to Chicago so the band can enter a national contest! Of course the only way they can raise money is to "put on a show" (which happened in every Rooney and Garland film), which made a great excuse to put as many songs into the picture as possible. Audiences loved every minute of it, and it made their movies some of the most popular of the era. This is a lovely and rare silk banner which was produced in very limited numbers for theaters. This great banner sports All Hirschfeld artwork and the known logo for the Paul Whiteman Band. It has a wooden dowel batten at the top which fits into a rod sleeve. This is a great find for the die-hard Garland fan! Fine+.

Jean Harlow Personality Poster (MGM, 1930s). Poster (22" X 28").
The original "blonde bombshell," Jean Harlow made her first screen appearance, as an uncredited extra, in 1928. By 1930, however, she became a star with her leading role in the Howard Hughes aviation epic, Hell's Angels. Shortly after the picture opened, Hughes sold Harlow's contract to MGM for $60,000, and her career really took off, with prestigious roles in such films as Platinum Blonde (1931), The Public Enemy (1931), and Red Dust (1932). For the next several years, she reigned as one of the top members of Hollywood's elite, but during the filming of Saratoga (1937), she contracted uremic poisoning and died on June 7 at the too-young age of 26. Her iconic status as one of Hollywood's leading sex symbols, lives on to this day. The stunning portrait poster offered here has pinholes in the corners, edge wear, tears in the top right and lower left, missing paper in the top right corner and in the left edge, a chip in the lower left corner, and a bend in the lower right corner. Restoration, including mounting on linen, has addressed many of these issues, making the piece highly attractive and utterly displayable. Harlow's beauty lives on in this classic poster, a poster that can be yours if you're the high bidder. Good/Very Good on Linen.

Bombshell (MGM, 1933). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
This charming film, in which bombshell movie actress Lola Burns (Jean Harlow) tries desperately to lead a normal life, was originally written as a parody of the life of famous flapper girl Clara Bow, with family members hanging around the set, oily reporters just looking to cook up the next scandal, an impossible studio schedule, and more. The picture spotlights not only Harlow's great beauty, but her admirable comedic chops as well. The lobby card offered here, picturing Harlow and co-star Lee Tracy, is immaculate; only a very faint smudge on the right side keeps it from an even higher grade. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better copy of this attractive card. Near Mint.

You'd be hard-pressed to find a better copy of this attractive card. Near Mint.

In this charming romantic comedy, Jean Harlow is perfect as Eadie, a golddigging showgirl with a moral compass who vows to remain chaste until she can lasso an eligible millionaire.

The poster presents very well, and is a great showcase for Lovely Rita. Fine+ on Linen.

Original posters for this classic comedy have always been hard to come by, since surprisingly, it was not a hit when first released in 1938. With this lovely pressbook you can now see what all the paper looked like and more. The book was folded in half at one time but has no cuts and still retains its original herald. Very Fine-.

The Philadelphia Story (MGM, Post-War 1946). Japanese Poster (14.25" X 20").
Could there be a better and more sophisticated comedy about love and marriage than George Cukor's The Philadelphia Story? We don't think so, and neither do the majority of film aficionados. It had been a successful play on Broadway when Katharine Hepburn (looking for great stories to help revive her sagging career) bought the movie rights. Her gamble paid off. The film was a major hit and single-handedly scrapped the "box-office poison" label she'd been tagged with. Jimmy Stewart won an Oscar as Best Actor and Hepburn was nominated -- again. Offered here is a very early, post-war Japanese poster for the release. Paper was scarce so posters were smaller, and there is an MPEA seal in the upper left corner. The MPEA (Motion Picture Export Association) was set up in 1946 after the war ended to help spread the release of American-made movies in occupied Japan, both new releases and movies not released before the war. Perhaps one of the prettiest posters ever produced for this film, it has been lightly folded horizontally in the center and the paper quality is such that it has tanned. There is a pinhole in each corner, three minor tears along the right edge, and a faint stamp in Hepburn's dress. Folded, Fine/Very Fine.

Becky Sharp (RKO, 1935). Pre-War Australian Daybill (15" X 40").
The first feature-length film produced in the three-strip Technicolor process, this adaptation of Vanity Fair featured Miriam Hopkins in the title role of a self-absorbed young woman who rises to and then falls from the peak of British society circa the early 1800s. The poster has water staining within the upper imprint and carries almost imperceptibly through the body of the poster with several darker stains in the credits. Artwork is signed by the well-known Australian poster artist Norman McMurray. Rolled, Very Good.

Crossroads (MGM, 1942). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style C.
William Powell plays a French diplomat caught up in blackmail, theft, and murder. He is married to the exotic Hedy Lamarr, but suffers from amnesia. When he stands trial for robberies he doesn't remember, Basil Rathbone and Claire Trevor are two key witnesses who at first appear to be on Powell's side. This one sheet had edge wear, fold wear, crossfold separations with two paper losses at the top fold, tape lifts at the folds and borders, and a chip at the bottom edge. The restoration was professionally done and the poster is in exceptional condition with its stunning portrait of Lamarr and the shadowy figure of Powell. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Gone with the Wind (MGM, 1939). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style DP.
Margaret Mitchell's masterpiece was turned into one of the most anticipated and most beloved of Hollywood classics by legendary producer David O. Selznick. This stunning image from Scarlett and Rhett's dance scene was done by the noted illustrator Armando Seguso who created most of the artwork for film's posters. Shortly after the film's initial 1939 roadshow release it went into a wider release in early 1940 and, to allay the public's fears that the film would be abridged, MGM announced that the only thing that had been cut were the ticket prices. Some of the first one sheets printed were shipped out with paper snipes attached to them announcing the "Full Length, Nothing Cut" information while others, such as this one, were printed with the information on the poster. This is the very rare style DP and is one of the more desirable of the four styles done. There was a tear at the top edge going into the image, fold wear with minor chips and tears, especially at the top vertical fold, and crossfold separations. There was a piece of missing paper at the lower right corner, and small holes in the other corners. This fabulous and rare sheet has been beautifully and professionally restored, and there is now no distraction from the superb artwork. Fine on Linen.

Waterloo Bridge (MGM, 1940). Insert (14" X 36").
Filmed once before in 1931 by James Whale, this romantic drama is set this time during WWII and is a real tear-jerker. Audiences are treated to outstanding performances by Vivien Leigh as the lovely ballerina and Robert Taylor as her soldier lover. Mervyn LeRoy directed this film based on a play by noted writer Robert E. Sherwood. This insert has staple holes in the corners, two small stains and minor smudges in the borders, two small holes in the top border, and creases in the top corners. This is one of the loveliest images of Leigh on any poster, and it doesn't show up very often. Folded, Very Fine-.

My Man Godfrey (Universal, 1936). Jumbo Lobby Card (14" X 17").
A twist on the Cinderella story that has spoiled heiress Irene Bullock (Carole Lombard) finding educated hobo Godfrey (William Powell) living in the city dump, and hiring him as the new family butler. Godfrey isn't really a penniless bum, though, he's actually a blue-blood from a wealthy family who retreated from life after being jilted by a lover. As Godfrey becomes part of the Bullock household, he injects a dose of much-needed sanity into their chaotic lives, causing Irene to fall in love with him. One of the classic "screwball" comedies of the 1930s. Offered here is a rare jumbo lobby card from this classic film. Professionally restored, the card has a crease in the left side and each of the corners had been bent. Fine+.

The Outlaw (RKO, R-1952). Japanese B1 (30.75" X 42").
A stunning Japanese poster from one of the most controversial films of its time, Howard Hughes' The Outlaw thrust star Jane Russell into the spotlight. Hughes's determination to display Russell's voluptuous figure had him battling industry censors and citizens groups for years. A series of billboards promoting the film's initial release in San Francisco were ordered removed by the police in response to complaints about the provocative image of Russell, which in turn resulted in huge business at the box office. The poster has been folded, but displays no fold wear. Very Fine+ on Linen.

Internes Can't Take Money (Paramount, 1937). French Grande (47" X 63").
This Paramount picture was the first film to introduce Max Brand's fictional Dr. Kildare to the moviegoing public. He would later be played by Lew Ayres for MGM, and, in the 1960's television series, was perhaps most successfully portrayed by Richard Chamberlain. In this charming offering from 1937, Joel McCrea plays Doctor Jimmie Kildare, who helps ex-convict Barbara Stanwyck find her missing three year-old daughter. Lloyd Nolan plays a gangster with a heart of gold whose life is saved by a crude operation performed by Kildare with the implements at hand in a barroom. True to the film's title, the young Dr. Kildare won't accept payment for exercising his surgical skills. This wonderful pre-war French grande has older linen backing with some obvious cracking and wrinkling. Very Good/Fine on Linen.

Wild Oats (Mack, 1940). One Sheet (28" X 42").
Little is known about this film which is believed to have been produced by Sam S. Millard, a filmmaker of exploitation product from the 1920s through the 1950s. This film may no longer be in existence but IMDB lists the plot synopsis as such, "Exploitation film about the trials of a meek, henpecked middle-aged man who wants to look at undressed women." The poster has some repairs to the lower crossfold and vertical fold line. Very Fine- on Linen.

Teaserama (Beautiful Productions Inc., 1955). One Sheet (27" X 41").
A follow-up to 1954's Varietease, Teaserama is a documentary that captures the last days of burlesque, when virtually the only remaining element was striptease. Teaserama stars 1950s pin-up queen Bettie Page and a bevy of the era's top stripteasers, including the legendary Tempest Storm. Burlesque comic and later star of TV's Car 54, Where are You?, Joe E. Ross, provides the comedy. Aside from some minor edge wear, the unfolded, unrestored one sheet offered here looks virtually brand new. It features images of some of the most incandescent legends of burlesque, including several lovely portraits of the compelling Ms. Page. A better specimen of this highly desirable poster would certainly be hard to find. Rolled, Very Fine+.

Motor Psycho! (Eve Productions, 1965). One Sheet (27" X 41").
From Russ Meyer, the director who brought you Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965), Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970), Supervixens (1975), and Up! (1976), comes this compelling drama of rape, destruction, and revenge. In his first film role, Alex Rocco, perhaps best known for his portrayal of casino owner Moe Greene in The Godfather (1972), plays veterinarian Corey Maddox, a man driven to hunt down the titular motor psychos after they rape his wife. The ending is, literally, explosive. This exceptional poster had pinpoint crossfold separations, but mounting on linen and professional restoration have rendered this slight flaw virtually invisible. You don't need to be a motor psycho yourself to covet this incredibly cool poster! Very Fine+ on Linen.

Back to Nature (Vision Pictures, 1933). One Sheet (27" X 41").
This film was one of the earliest nudist documentaries and features footage shot in nudist camps all over the world. Among the places showcased are nudist camps in upstate New York, nudist nightclubs in France, and a retreat in Germany that is claimed to be the world's largest nudist camp. Released under several tiles such as This Nude World, This Naked World, and The Nudist World. Vision Pictures, Inc. attempted to distribute the film in New York as Back to Nature on a states rights level, appealing a decision by the New York State Censor Board to ban the film. Story writer Jan Gay was billed onscreen as the author of the book On Going Naked. The book, published in 1932, was one of the first published here - or anywhere in English - about nudism. Gay was born Helen Reitman (1902-1960) and she declared her sexuality by changing her name to "Jan Gay," using a newly popular 1930s codeword for homosexual. She had an eclectic career as a journalist, translator, sexuality researcher, writer (children's books and film documentaries), and passionate promoter of nudism. This very rare exploitation one sheet may be the only, if not one of the very few copies to have survived from the very small distribution of this film under this title. This poster is in spectacular condition with the most minor fold wear, a few minor chips in the borders, and a small chip in the lower left corner. This has to be one of the rarest and most titillating images from the Exploitation genre, with all of its gorgeous stone litho splendor! Very Fine+ on Linen.

Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (Eve Productions, 1965). Autographed German A1 (23" X 33").
This is a fantastic German poster for the Russ Meyer sexploitation classic, signed by all three starring actresses Haji, Tura Satana, and Lori Williams in black felt tip. The trio play go-go dancers who go on a violent crime spree in the California desert. Arguably Meyer's most notorious movie -- and that's saying something! The poster has some faint fold wear. Near Mint.

I'm No Angel (Paramount, 1933). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Mae West was the original bad-girl of the Broadway stage. Signed by Paramount Pictures in 1932, where her phenomenal success is credited with keeping the studio from folding, in return, the studio allowed her an unprecedented degree of control over her films. Regarded as one of West's funniest vehicles, I'm No Angel raised her star even farther in Hollywood. There are pinholes in the corners and paper tape at the lower right corner bend, but in spite of these minor flaws, this is still an extremely attractive and desireable card. Very Fine-.

This rare one sheet, released in theaters just prior to the film's opening in May 1935, teases audiences about "celebrating Mae day."

Gold Diggers of Broadway (Warner Brothers, 1929). Window Card (14" X 22").
The first of the "Gold Diggers" musical series was filmed in two-strip Technicolor and starred Winnie Lightner, Conway Tearle, and Nick Lucas, who performed his signature tune "Tiptoe Through the Tulips," later made infamous by Tiny Tim in the 1960s. Long thought totally lost, the final reel (in Technicolor) of this early sound film has been found and preserved. The poster has some slight paper loss and a dust shadow in the left border toward the bottom and writing in the upper imprint area. A very rare and attractive piece from one of Warners' earliest musicals. Fine+.

Say it with Songs (Warner Brothers, 1929). Window Card (14" X 22").
By the 1920s Al Jolson was the highest paid and most popular entertainer in America. With breakthrough film hits such as The Jazz Singer, The Singing Fool, and this talking feature, his fame was cemented. Here he stars with Marian Nixon and again with young Davey Lee in a melodrama about a married, but egotistical radio star and the long road of his redemption. The card has enlarged pinholes in the borders and field, a dust shadow in the imprint area, smudges, a chip in the top right corner, and a tear in the bottom border that extends into the image. A great portrait of one of the most influential entertainers of all time. Fine+.

Whoopee! (United Artists, 1930). Argentinean Poster (29" X 43").
The Broadway play of the same name was a smash hit of the 1928-29 season with Flo Ziegfeld producing and Eddie Cantor starring as they would do for this film version. Cantor's zany antics and musical numbers including the Walter Donaldson gems "Makin' Whoopee," and "My Baby Just Cares for Me," make this an enjoyable treat. Goldwyn Girls Claire Dodd, Virginia Bruce, and 14-year-old Betty Grable are also featured. This poster had fold wear and crossfold separations. After professional restoration, these minor issues are not apparent and the colorful image shines. Very Fine on Linen.

The Way to Love (Paramount, 1933). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style B.
Maurice Chevalier followed his huge success in films such as The Love Parade, One Hour with You and Love Me Tonight with this romantic comedy co-starring Ann Dvorak and Edward Everett Horton. At the time of this film's release Chevalier was one of the most famous actors in the world and his trademark smile and straw boater were recognized everywhere, thus the poster designers use of this outstanding art-deco image.

La Cucaracha (RKO, 1934). One Sheet (27" X 41").
This is one of the cornerstone historical posters of the motion picture industry. It is rare enough just in itself; it's a one sheet for a 21-minute short subject film. But the interest lies in the fact that this was the first film to be shot entirely in the three strip Technicolor process. This film won an Oscar for Best Short Subject - Comedy. There was restoration for pinholes, a censor stamp in the lower left corner, and a small amount of missing paper in the bottom border. Fine+ on Paper.

Swing Time (RKO, 1936). Leader Press One Sheet (27" X 41").
This was the sixth pairing of RKO's legendary dance team, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. This film followed their 1935 hit Top Hat and may well be their very best. Directed by the great George Stevens at a time when he was at his peak, all of the elements in this film come together in spectacular fashion. Some of the great songs presented in the film include such favorites as "Never Gonna Dance," "A Fine Romance," "Pick Yourself Up," "Bojangles of Harlem," and "The Way You Look Tonight." This rare and striking one sheet is one of the famous Leader Press posters printed by an outfit in Oklahoma City. It was an independent poster manufacturer who made posters for studio released product and sold them to theater owners at reduced prices. They print run for these posters were normally much smaller than the standard studio one sheet run and thus more rare. The poster had a small chip from the lower left border and touchup to the crossfolds within the image. Very Fine on Linen.

Follow the Fleet (RKO, 1936). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
The fifth of ten films that Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers appeared in together, this pre-World War II musical features Astaire and Randolph Scott as two sailors on shore leave who meet two sisters, Rogers and Harriet Hilliard (of Ozzie and Harriet).

The poster is lifting from the paper backing at the left side and the top right corner. This beautiful original release half sheet with its wonderful images of Astaire and Rogers is extremely hard-to-find. It rarely, if ever, turns up for auction, so get it while you can. Good+ on Paper.

Perhaps the greatest movie musical ever made, produced by Alan Freed, directed by Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly, and starring Kelly, Donald O'Connor, Debbie Reynolds, Jean Hagen, and Cyd Charisse.

The title card and one of the lobby cards both have corner bends. Two of the cards have corner bends, one has a tear to the left side, another has a small tear with tape on the reverse, and hall have wrinkles to the borders. Fine/Very Fine.

Often talked about in the same breath as Singin' in the Rain, The Band Wagon offers debonair Fred Astaire, fiery Cyd Charisse, and the master of the movie musical, director Vincente Minnelli, in a winsome tale of an aging song and dance man.

The Sound of Music (20th Century Fox, 1965). One Sheet (27" X 41") Todd AO Roadshow Style.
The stirring story of the Von Trapp Family Singers, and their daring escape from Nazi-occupied Austria, is the centerpiece of this, one of the most beloved musicals of all time. Starring Julie Andrews as Maria, the young nun who becomes governess to the family of military officer Captain Von Trapp (Christopher Plummer), the film was based on a hit Broadway musical, and earned five Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director (Robert Wise). It remains as popular today as it was upon its initial release.

The Man With the Golden Arm (United Artists, 1955). One Sheet (27" X 41").
A shocking film upon its release, it was one of the first to depict the stark reality of drug addiction, The Man With the Golden Arm was largely responsible for the collapse of the restrictive Production Code. When the seal of approval was denied the film, United Artists released it anyway. The film became a huge success and the code was ultimately abandoned. Star Frank Sinatra established his acting credentials with an Academy Award-nominated performance, while Kim Novak, who had made her screen debut only a year before, impressed all in her role as the sympathetic Molly. Artist Saul Bass captures the essence of the film with stark artwork, complemented by large photos of Sinatra, Novak, and co-star Eleanor Parker. The one sheet for this important film has two small tears in the top border and paper tape on the back that shows through at both top corners. A nice copy of this arresting poster from an important film. Fine/Very Fine.

Stormy Weather (20th Century Fox, 1943). Title Card and Lobby Cards (3) (11" X 14").
Possibly the greatest black musical of the Golden Age - and one of the finest musicals of any description ever set to film - this stellar picture spotlights the talents of such luminaries as Lena Horne, Bill 'Bojangles' Robinson, Cab Calloway, Katherine Dunham, Fats Waller (in his last film appearance before his untimely death at the age of 39), and the Nicholas Brothers, among others, a veritable "Who's Who" of jazz in the early 1940s. Paper from this movie is always popular with collectors, and in this lot we present the highly desirable title card and three scene cards. All the cards have pinholes in the top corners and very light corner bends in the lower right. The title card shows additional pinholes in the top of the image area and in the bottom center, and a crease in the bottom right corner. The "revue" card has some foxing in the right border, a stain and a crease in the bottom right corner, and a light dust shadow in the bottom left. The card that features Horne and Robinson shows some foxing at the bottom edge, and minor tears at the right edge. In spite of these minor flaws, the cards offered here are very attractive and presentable, and will make a welcome addition to any collection. Very Fine.

Foxy Brown (American International, 1974). Poster (40" X 60").
In an era that saw black moviegoers consistently overlooked, there was one rising genre that saw the need for films targeting urban audiences, Blaxploitation. With funk and soul soundtracks and the language of the streets, Blaxploitation became an overnight success complete with its own superstars and few were bigger than Pam Grier. Grier had a breakout performance in Coffy and soon returned to the screen in this no-holds-barred action thriller directed by Jack Hill. This rarely seen large format poster features art strikingly different than that found on the one sheet. There was's light wrinkling common to this paper stock and very minor wear at the edges and corners but thanks to minimal restoration, this sheet now looks like a million bucks! Very Fine on Cardstock.

This beautifully designed stone litho three sheet will make a fine addition to any Chan collection as Warner Oland material just gets harder to find! Fine/Very Fine on Linen.
Black Magic (Monogram, 1944). Six Sheet (81" X 81").
Sidney Toler as Charlie Chan makes an interesting departure from form when he enlists the aid of his daughter, played aptly enough by Frances Chan. This is a striking poster and very scarce in this large size. There are fold separations, a chip in the right border with wrinkling, pinholes, light edge wear, a small chip that has been reattached and small pieces of archival and cellophane tape on the back center folds and edges. This will be a great, and very rare, addition to any Chan collection. Fine+.

Think Fast, Mr. Moto (20th Century Fox, 1937). Pre-War Belgian (14" X 22").
Peter Lorre's first outing as the inscrutable Mr. Moto is generally considered to be his best, and this evocative pre-war Belgian poster is certainly a worthy memento of the film's release. This very nice unrestored poster has pinholes in the corners and borders, minor stains in the right border, pinpoint crossfold separations, minor wrinkling, some ghosting in the credits area, and a tax stamp at the top right. It still presents very well, with good color and clarity. Very Fine.

Terror by Night (Universal, 1946). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Terror by Night features Basil Rathbone in his trademark role, super-sleuth Sherlock Holmes, along with his stalwart cohort Dr. Watson (Nigel Bruce) as they attempt to solve a classic whodunit aboard a train. Though he had played the character in a dozen films previously, many felt Rathbone's performance in Terror was more energetic than in the past, perhaps a reflection of the fact that he had already decided to end his film association with the character (he only made one more Holmes film). This classic poster had pinholes in the corners, a small corner chip on the top right, and a small tear and chip on the lower left side, all addressed through professional restoration to produce a very collectible piece.

The Benson Murder Case (Paramount, 1930). One Sheet (27" X 41").
This gorgeous stone litho, full-bleed one sheet was created to advertise the third entry in the Philo Vance detective series, once again starring William Powell. As timely as 1930's (and today's) headlines, the film uses the 1929 stock market crash as a plot motivator. A crooked stockbroker betrays several of his clients for his own gain, then retreats to his palatial hideaway. He winds up being murdered there and Powell begins to run down all the suspects. Prior to restoration, this poster had fold wear, and pinholes in the corners. The restoration and linen-backing (which is trimmed to the borders) has been expertly done. This is only known copy of this beautifully designed poster, making it a real prize for collectors. Very Fine+ on Linen.

Private Detective 62 (Warner Brothers, 1933). Window Card (14" X 22").
Debonair actor William Powell was hitting his stride as a gentleman detective in 1933, working on two such films with noted director Michael Curtiz including this romantic crime story and The Kennel Murder Case. A year later Powell would win the role of sleuth Nick Charles in The Thin Man. Here he plays a down-on-his-luck detective who is coerced into framing wealthy gambler Janet Reynolds (Margaret Lindsey), but things become even more complicated when he falls in love with her. No stranger herself to detective dramas, Lindsey went on to star as Ellery Queen's secretary Nikki Porter in several films in the popular series of the early 1940s. This window card has tanning on the left and right sides, a slight horizontal mark in Powell's face, some creases, a small hole in the center of the top edge, and a bend in the lower left corner. The colors are bright on this remarkable portrait of Powell, one of the most interesting we have seen. Fine.

City Streets (Paramount, 1931). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Gary Cooper stars as "The Kid," an ambitious carnival worker who gets drawn into the underworld by mob boss Pop Cooley (Guy Kibbee). Cooper is in love with the mobster's daughter (Sylvia Sidney), who's been railroaded into prison by the henchman's crooked cohorts. Rouben Mamoulian, in his second directorial effort, uses innovative camera techniques to produce this fascinating gangster drama. There was paper missing from the left side of the poster which extended into the "C" and "S" of the title and into the crowd scene in the left of the artwork. Professional restoration has made this defect all but invisible. This is a full-bleed poster which Paramount experimented with in the very early 1930s. Very Good- on Linen.

The Secret Six (MGM, 1931). Jumbo Lobby Card (14" X 17").
With an outstanding ensemble cast which includes Jean Harlow, Clark Gable, Wallace Beery, and Johnny Mack Brown, this sordid tale of gangsters, murderers, molls, and kidnappers is fast paced and enjoyable. "The Secret Six" refers to a group of businessmen who stand up to the murderous bootleggers, one of whom is played by Ralph Bellamy in his screen debut - a far cry from his later roles as a mild-mannered jilted boyfriend. This was one of Harlow's earliest screen credits and even with the high caliber of the cast, she stands out! The card has pinholes in the top corners, a faint stain in Brown's face, a tear at the top edge with slight surface paper loss and archival tape on the reverse, corner bumps, and one corner bend. The card showcases the twenty-two-year-old beauty Harlow, and the handsome future Western star Brown. Fine/Very Fine.

This rare one sheet has art by Eric Rohman and shows only slight edge wear and a tiny chip in the top border. Rolled, Very Fine+.

Crime School (Warner Brothers, 1938). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
This film co-starred the "Dead End Kids", who actually received top billing in all of the film's advertising. That's due to the big success of their film Dead End the previous year.

There is a two-inch tear at the edge near the "L" and light fold separations throughout.

All Through the Night (Warner Brothers, 1942). Insert (14" X 36").
Amidst the machine-gun laced patter and snappy one-liners, Humphrey Bogart sparred with the likes of comedians Phil Silvers, Jackie Gleason and William Demarest and even traded punches with Nazi villains Peter Lorre, Judith Anderson and Conrad Veidt.

This insert has had the fold lines reinforced with paper tape on the back, has a few tiny tears in the edges and a light abrasion in the lower right corner but is otherwise in fantastic condition. Very Fine.

Hero Humphrey Bogart battles narcissistic mobster Johnny Rocco, played superbly by Edward G. Robinson, in this moody noir classic.

There are minor abrasions in the lower left and right corners, and light edge wear in the top border. Don't miss out on this stunning card from Bogart and Bacall's final film together. Very Fine.

Humphrey Bogart appears in the film as the pilot O'Brien hires to make the first flight to the Caribbean. Bogart cards are highly sought after by collectors, especially ones from this scarce set. Bogart only appears on two scene cards in the eight card set, and they rarely turn up for sale. The card has edge wear with small tears, stains to the bottom edge, surface abrasions to the corners, some touch-up work, masking tape on the reverse, creases to the corners, and other small creases throughout. Fine.

Isle of Fury (Warner Brothers, 1936). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Humphrey Bogart stars in this love story set in the South Pacific - where, yes, Bogart is once again a criminal on the run from the law. The cards from the early Bogart years are very tough to find. Here is a nice example from the film about which Bogart said, "That wasn't me in the film. It was just a guy that looked like me." The card has wear in the form of creasing or chipping to all four corners. The lower right corner has been reinforced on the reverse with plastic tape. Fine+.

Footlight Parade (Warner Brothers, 1933). Pre-War Belgian (24" X 33").
Stepping out of his usual role as a gangster, James Cagney was given the chance to shine on the screen as a dancer and enact some comedy along the way. Ruby Keeler is the girl who becomes an overnight sensation and Joan Blondell ( a frequent Cagney on-screen girlfriend) admires Cagney from afar. All of this was set against a Busby Berkeley backdrop of highly choreographed musical numbers that have gone on to become Hollywood legend. This Belgian poster, with the design based on the US one sheet, has had some minor airbrushing in the borders and to a couple of spots in the white background. Very Fine+ on Linen.

Hard to Handle (Warner Brothers, 1933). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
By the time James Cagney made this film, he was already established as one of Hollywood's biggest stars, having previously gained fame in such pictures as The Public Enemy (1931), Blonde Crazy (1931) and Taxi! (1932). His biggest pictures were still before him, however, films that would solidify Cagney's position as one of the greatest actors of the twentieth century. In this early picture, Cagney plays Lefty Merrill, a small time con man who rigs a dance contest. When things go awry, and his partner skips with the dough, Cagney has to think fast to make things right. This beautiful title card, featuring a fabulous shot of Cagney, has pinholes in the corners, a light stain in the title area, a slight dust shadow in the right edge, small tears at the right border and in the center of the image, and slight creasing in the lower left, but is otherwise extremely attractive and appealing. This was a great period for Cagney, and early portraits of him don't get much better than this. Fine+.

G-Men (First National, 1935). Window Card (14" X 22").
This gangster film and others like it, which focused attention toward the law and not the lawbreakers, was Warner Brothers answering to the Production Code pressure of 1934. James Cagney, who many were used to seeing as the baddie, now carried a gun for the Department of Justice. The intense pacing of this film coupled with Cagney's energetic style made it a box office smash. There was edge wear with minor tears, tears at the bottom corners, and some slight wear in the image. There was some writing in the upper imprint area which has been painted out but there is slight bleed through visible as well as in the yellow field above Cagney's head. The poster has been restored and now displays beautifully! Fine+ on Paper.

G-Men (First National, 1935). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
When the Production Code came down hard on the studios in 1934, Warner Brothers decided to reinvent the Gangster film, with emphasis on the lawman. The result was films such as G-Men, starring their former number one gangster, James Cagney, as a crusading lawman. This card has pinholes, smudges on the surface, a bump on the top edge, a rust stain on the left border, corner chips on the left side, corner creases with tape residue at the top right, and a vertical crease on the left side. Very Good/Fine.

The Roaring Twenties (Warner Brothers, 1939). Window Card (14" X 22").
One of the great gangster films of the 1930s, this classic picture documents the rise and fall of Eddie Bartlett (James Cagney). After returning home from the battlefields of France, Bartlett builds a fleet of cabs, and supplements his income by selling black market hooch. He partners with old army buddy George Hally (Humphrey Bogart), but love, jealousy, and the eventual repeal of Prohibition all conspire to cause Eddie's downfall. This was Cagney's last gangster role for Warner Brothers - he would not return to the genre until he starred in 1949's White Heat. Prior to expert professional restoration, the window card offered here had tears in the bottom and right borders, and creasing in the top right corner, the imprint area, the bottom border, and in the image. Additionally, there is a small area of surface paper loss at the bottom that occurred after restoration. Nevertheless, this piece is a real beauty, well worth your attention. Fine+ on Cardstock.

Scarface (United Artists, 1932). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
A rare original issue lobby card from one of filmdom's most controversial gangster productions. The team of producer Howard Hughes and Director Howard Hawks combined to produce an intensely violent tale of mob life, that quickly drew the attention of industry censors. The head of the MPPDA (Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America) objected to the title and asked that it be changed. Howard Hughes, who had agreed to make some changes in the film in order to get it distributed, drew the line at changing the title. The compromise that was reached was Scarface, the Shame of a Nation with the tagline overprinted on the original cards. Most material available today carries the revised title, making this card a very hard to find piece. The card had a small chip from the left border only and a reattached right lower corner. The card has been professionally restored and looks wonderful. A unique and highly collectible item. Very Fine-.

The Maltese Falcon (Warner Brothers, 1941). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Based on the best-selling mystery novel by Dashiell Hammett, this film marked a turning point in the career of star Humphrey Bogart. Although Bogie had attained fame in The Petrified Forest (1936) several years earlier, and continued his rise to stardom through such pictures as San Quentin (1937), Angels with Dirty Faces (1939), and Dark Victory (1939), it was this picture that solidified his place as one of the greatest actors of the twentieth century. The story of private detective Sam Spade (Bogart) who, following the murder of his partner, finds himself enmeshed in the search for a priceless relic, this is one of the finest private eye films ever made, with Bogart's portrayal of Spade an iconic performance. Consequently, paper from this picture is extremely desirable, commanding strong prices whenever an example comes to market. This lovely one sheet had a tear in the top left corner, small chips in the bottom right corner, and minor chips and tearing in the borders. After expert professional restoration, this poster looks as good as new, perfect for displaying and admiring for years to come. Very Fine on Linen.

The story of private detective Sam Spade (Bogart) who, following the murder of his partner, finds himself enmeshed in the search for a priceless relic, this is one of the finest private eye films ever made, with Bogart's portrayal of Spade an iconic performance. Consequently, paper from this picture is extremely desirable, commanding strong prices whenever an example comes to market. This lovely one sheet had a tear in the top left corner, small chips in the bottom right corner, and minor chips and tearing in the borders. After expert professional restoration, this poster looks as good as new, perfect for displaying and admiring for years to come. Very Fine on Linen.
To Have and Have Not (Warner Brothers, 1944). Insert (14" X 36").
Based on a best-selling novel by Ernest Hemingway, stars Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall met and fell in love during the filming of this, their first film together. Several years later, following Bogie's divorce from Mayo Methot, they would be married, one of the most legendary unions in Hollywood history. The famous, "You know how to whistle, don't you?" scene does not appear in the novel; rather, it was written by director Howard Hawks as a screen test for Bacall. He liked her performance so much that he decided to work it into a later draft of the screenplay. This highly desirable insert has staple holes in the top and bottom border, a tiny stain in the top right, light foldwear, a credits snipe glued to the lower portion, and a corner bend in the lower left. None of these minor flaws detract from the overall attractiveness of this piece, especially considering the smoldering image of Bogart and Bacall. This one's a real winner! Fine/Very Fine.

The Big Sleep (Warner Brothers, 1946). Lobby Cards (4) (11" X 14").
Bogart is perfectly cast as the tough, taciturn Phillip Marlowe as he untangles a sordid web of blackmail and murder, in what is considered a genre classic. Cards number four and six have light vertical creases and card four has slight edge wear at the top edge. Card number eight has a 1" tear in the left center, a small border tear, and minor cuts on the right border. Three cards have staple holes and all four cards have light smudging. This group would have graded significantly higher if not for the small flaws in one card. Fine/Very Fine.

The Big Sleep (Warner Brothers, 1946). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall made international headlines with their true life off-screen romance and eventual marriage. Warners capitalized on the event and the couple by heralding the film as "The picture they were born for." Howard Hawks's legendary film noir was adapted from Raymond Chandler's novel by screenwriter William Faulkner, and it went on to become one of the most important pictures in both stars' careers. This #2 card has surface abrasions to the lower left corner and a light stain, but is otherwise unmarred. One of the best cards from the set. Very Fine.

Dark Passage (Warner Brothers, 1947). Insert (14" X 36").
In this, Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall's third film together, Bogart is wrongly convicted of murdering his wife. After escaping from prison he sets about finding the real murderer, but has to undergo plastic surgery first, as his face is too well known. The film uses a very effective technique for the first half, in which everything is viewed through the eyes of the main character; we don't see his face until the bandages are removed after his surgery. The insert has a light stain on the right border, a small horizontal crease in the top and bottom borders, and a grease pencil notation on the bottom right corner. Rolled, Very Fine+.

Out of the Past (RKO, 1947). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Based on the novel Build My Gallows High, by Daniel Mainwaring, a.k.a. Geoffrey Homes, this seminal film noir features a taut and moody plot full of fast dialogue, double crosses, and a murderous dame. The amazing cast includes Robert Mitchum, Kirk Douglas, Jane Greer, and Rhonda Fleming, all directed by Jacques Tourneur, who knew something about creating a dark atmosphere from his previous series of top horror classics such as Cat People and I Walked With a Zombie. There has been some touch-up work done to the vertical fold line, mainly in the section between Mitchum's credit and the film's title. There has also been some minor airbrush work to the borders, and the poster is now quite presentable. With the stellar image of Mitchum and Greer, this highly sought poster is dynamite.

The Night of the Hunter (United Artists, 1955). German A1 (23" X 33").
In one of his most memorable roles, Robert Mitchum stars as a psychopathic preacher hot on the trail of $10,000 hidden away by a now-dead criminal. Also featuring Shelly Winters and Lillian Gish, the movie -- like so many others now considered classics -- failed at the box office at the time of its initial release, but is now renowned for its sense of terror and menace. Directed by actor Charles Laughton, this was his only stint behind the camera. This German one sheet has edge wear with small chips at the left side and paper tape on the reverse, and tears at the top edge. Fine/Very Fine.

Murder, My Sweet (RKO, 1944). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Dick Powell makes a major change in his on-screen image with his performance as Phillip Marlowe, Raymond Chandler's famed detective. Murder, My Sweet is notable as it is widely considered one of the first film noirs and established the genre's use of low-key black and white photography. Many critics consider the film the most faithful to Chandler's original work, an opinion Chandler himself shared. This one sheet had fold wear and crossfold separations with small chips, a minor chip on top left and bottom right corners, and a tear at the bottom left that extended from the border into the "M" of the title, all addressed in the professional restoration process to create a poster you'll be proud to own.

Gaslight (MGM, 1944). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Nominated for seven Academy Awards and winner of two, including one for star Ingrid Bergman, this film noir is set in 19th century London. Newlywed Paula Alquist (Bergman) begins to slowly feel as if she is losing her mind as she hears strange noises in the mansion she inherited from her murdered aunt.

This outstanding film noir first teams director Fritz Lang with actors Edward G. Robinson, Joan Bennett, and Dan Duryea who would all work together the following year in a second highly acclaimed thriller, Scarlet Street.

Also starring Raymond Massey, this psychological thriller ponders what it would take for a mild-mannered citizen to commit murder. Prior to professional restoration, this one sheet had pinholes in the corners, small tears in the lower left corner, and a small hole in the right border. There were two small chips in the left border and in the top left and lower right corners. This striking poster displays beautifully. Very Fine- on Linen.

The Postman Always Rings Twice (MGM, 1946). French Grande (47" X 63").
Some of the seamier aspects of James M. Cain's original novel were toned down, but there's no lack of sexual heat between John Garfield and Lana Turner, making this one of the sultrier crime noir films ever made. Unlike the more prurient American paper, this eye-popping French grande was free to use Turner's famous white bikini as a subject, to great effect. The stunning art is by Boris Grinsson. Fold wear and crossfold wear with small chips, was the only condition issue, and this has been addressed with professional restoration, making this poster look as good as new. Very Fine+ on Linen.

The Postman Always Rings Twice (MGM, 1946). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Lana Turner heats up the screen in her most acclaimed role as Cora, the bored wife who turns to a drifter (John Garfield) to escape her drab, dull existence. Though the film rights were first purchased in 1934, it was more than a decade before a studio was able to sufficiently tone down James M. Cain's steamy best-seller and get it past the censors. One of the "toning down" ideas employed by director Tay Garnett was dressing Turner in virginal white, in an effort to turn down the heat. The on-screen effect was totally the opposite. This one sheet had pinholes in the field, two small tears on the lower right and one on the upper right above the fold, fold wear with chipping and small tears, and crossfold separation, but expert restoration has addressed these items and the result is a poster that displays very well.

Sullivan's Travels (Paramount, 1941). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style A.
Considered by many to be writer-director Preston Sturges's finest film, this was the story of a director's desire to quit making fluff pictures and go out and see the "real" world so that he can make a serious film.

Add to that the fact that the Style A for Sullivan's is the rarer of the two, and you come up with a peek-a-boo blonde you must have for your collection. Prior to restoration, there were pinholes in the corners and borders, crossfold separations with some minor paper loss, a tear in the bottom left corner, chips in the corners and borders, and a chip in the "S" in "SULLIVAN'S".

Raven enlists the aid of Ellen (Lake), not knowing she is a spy for the U.S. Government, as he outwits the police and finds the owner of the chemical company who is selling a formula for poison gas to the enemy. Ladd gives a remarkable performance as the conflicted killer who learns to trust Ellen, in the end saving her fiancée's life and asking for redemption. This highly desirable one sheet had a tape lift in the upper right, minor fold wear, and slight crossfold separations. There were four small chips in the right border and one in the bottom border, a tear on the right side of the horizontal fold, a tear in Lake's forehead with minor chips, and a small missing section of the upper left corner. This sheet has been professionally restored and these issues are not visible on this prized poster. Fine+ on Linen.

This 1945 re-release poster features fantastic art of Veronica Lake and Alan Ladd.

Director George Stevens's masterpiece is based loosely on the Rudyard Kipling poem that ends with the iconic line "You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din." Dealing with the racism of British colonial soldiers in occupied India, this is the adventurous tale of the brave Indian water-carrier, played by Sam Jaffe, who comes to the aid of an entire British regiment who are headed for a trap in the Khyber Pass. This sweeping epic stars Cary Grant, Victor McLaglen and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. as British sergeants, along with romantic lead Joan Fontaine. The insert has been professionally restored to address fold wear with small paper losses at the center fold, a tear in the top left border and a tear at the bottom border. There were also two small chips in the top right corner and one in the top left corner. This poster now displays beautifully with all its glorious color. Fine+ on Paper.

Only Angels Have Wings (Columbia, 1939). Insert (14" X 36").
This film was the big break that young and up-and-coming actress Rita Hayworth needed. Billed third behind Cary Grant and Jean Arthur, she nevertheless steals her scenes from these established stars. Thomas Mitchell and Richard Barthelmess also co-star as brave flyers who risk their lives on a dangerous mail route in South America. This poster, which has been beautifully restored, had a pinhole in the "N" of Grant's name, two extra horizontal creases, a small chip in the lower left border, and a small loss along the left border. Paper for this Howard Hawks classic is scarce, especially the spectacular insert format that we are proudly offering here for the first time. Fine/Very Fine on Paper.

My Favorite Wife (RKO, 1940). Silk Banner (38" X 55").
Irene Dunne and Cary Grant star in this comedy about a woman who was ship-wrecked for seven years, is rescued and returns home on the same day her husband marries another woman. Of course more complications arise when it turns out the original wife was ship-wrecked with another man for those seven years. Cary Grant was perfect in these kinds of screwball comedies, and this film has been a favorite among collectors for years. It was remade as Move Over, Darling in 1963 with Doris Day and James Garner. The very rare banner offered here has some sun-fading at the very top on the wooden dowel sleeve and there is wear within the faces which is damage to the lacquer paint finish. There is some liquid staining on the lower part of the banner within the credits and a couple of holes present. Good/Very Good.

Bobby Jones in How I Play Golf (Warner Brothers, 1931). Lobby Card Set of 4 (11" X 14") Episode 1--"The Putter."
Though he played the game almost three quarters of a century ago, Bobby Jones will be forever woven into the very fabric of golf. The mere mention of his name immediately conjures up scenes that take their place among the most memorable in the history of the game: the rhythmic, perfectly balanced swing; the boyish face; the articulate, southern drawl; Augusta National; The Masters; the Grand Slam. Individually, his marks on the game are some of the most significant of all time. Together, they tell the wonderful story of one of the greatest heroes the game of golf has ever seen. He is still the only player ever to have won the Grand Slam; he won all four major championships, in 1930, the year of his retirement at age 28. He is considered one of the five giants of the 1920s American sports scene, along with baseball's Babe Ruth, boxing's Jack Dempsey, football's Red Grange, and tennis player Bill Tilden. The year after retirement, Jones was hired to star in this series, a tremendous coup for the studio. Offered in this amazing lot is the title card and the three cards making a complete set to the first chapter in the series. The title card is one of the greatest images of this legendary star. These sets are some of the most elusive and truly rare vintage movie posters concerning a sports legend! Warner Brothers released a set of four lobby cards and a one sheet for each chapter of the twelve chapters in the series. The mystery which has confounded movie poster collectors for years is, what happened to all of the posters for this very significant release of 1931? All of the cards in this set are as mint as a card of this age can possibly be, with sharp corners and gorgeous cream colored paper. They are completely unrestored! The set also pictures stars Joe E. Brown and Richard Barthelmess. Near Mint/Mint.

Today's golfers might not even recognize the names of some of the clubs he used, like "Niblick" and "Spoon." Jones's clubs were made of Hickory wood, far different than the characteristics of the clubs made of titanium, graphite, and steel used today. Directed by George Marshall, who was himself an accomplished golfer, the series was shot almost entirely on the Lakeside Country Club golf course, where Marshall was a member. This set pictures the famous comedian Leon Errol on all four cards with Bobby Jones. These cards have sharp corners and are almost immaculate, in unrestored condition! Near Mint/Mint.

Darkest Africa (Republic, 1936). One Sheet (27" X 41") Episode 1 -- ""Baru - Son of the Jungle.".
This one sheet features gorgeous artwork from the first serial made by Republic Pictures, the studio that would go on to produce the best serials in the industry. Posters for this early serial are exceptionally scarce and extremely attractive, as they didn't add "insets."

Jungle Girl (Republic, 1941). One Sheet (27" X 41") Chapter One -- "Death by Voodoo."
When the serial format started to lose steam in the early 1940s, Republic decided to return to a formula popularized in the earliest days of the chapterplay: a strong leading female character, reminiscent of such cinematic legends as Pearl White, Ruth Roland, and Mary Fuller. The result was this jungle epic, starring Francis Gifford as Nyoka, a young girl raised in the jungle, in a serial based on a story by Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs. This serial was so successful that it spawned a sequel, Perils of Nyoka, released in 1942. Offered here is a rare all-art Chapter One one sheet, without the inset photos found on later chapter posters. It shows pinholes in the corners, edge wear, some tearing in the top border extending into the field and in the right side, fold wear with crossfold separation, a light surface abrasion in the center, and a corner chip in the top center. Aside from mounting on linen, restoration has been minimal, leaving an attractive poster, that will make a welcome addition to any serial collection. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

The Great Air Robbery (Universal, 1919). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Ormer Locklear wasn't merely a pilot, he was a daredevil, a man who thought nothing about tempting fate while walking on the wing of a biplane or leaping from one plane to another in mid-air. Inevitably, Hollywood beckoned, and Locklear relocated to the West Coast, where he soon came to the attention of Carl Laemmle, who signed the brave young man to a series of pictures. In 1919, Locklear made his first movie, The Great Air Robbery, in which he played Larry Cassidy, a pilot for the U.S. Air Mail Service, who defends a shipment of $20,000 in gold from the villainous clutches of the evil Chester Van Arland (Ray Ripley). Of course, the film made use of all the stunts that had made Locklear a household name as a barnstormer. The picture was a hit, and Locklear was on his way to a fabulous career on the silver screen. Offered here is a beautiful stone litho one sheet from Locklear's first film, sporting a handsome portrait of the daring flyer. A very attractive poster featuring one of the bravest men ever to appear before a camera, with only a small chip on the left side, fold wear, and small crossfold separation, all of which have been expertly repaired. A terrific piece for any film or aviation fan, this is a real prize. Very Fine+ on Linen.

The Great Air Robbery (Universal, 1919). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
In a day when brave young men ruled the air, flying - and often dying - over the battlefields of France in what amounted to little more than cardboard boxes with wings, Ormer Locklear was the bravest of them all. A natural-born daredevil, Locklear was the first man to walk on the wing of a bi-plane during his pilot's training in the early days of World War I. After the war, he made his living as a barnstormer, traveling from town to town giving exhibitions of his skill and daring. One of the biggest stars of his age, Locklear's career was bright, but short. In spite of his fame, paper featuring this daring artist rarely surfaces. Offered here is a wonderful stone litho three sheet for this, his first movie. It had small tears in the left and right borders, and foldwear with pinpoint crossfold separation, all of which has been addressed by expert professional restoration. We also note that the original bottom panel, in which the titles and credits appear, was missing, and has been artfully recreated to preserve the original appearance of this wonderful sheet. Very rare - most likely the only copy known to exist - this amazing poster will be a fine addition to any collection. Fine- on Linen.

Twelve O'Clock High (20th Century Fox, 1949). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Gregory Peck stars as Brigadier General Frank Savage, a hard-bitten commander who pushes his fliers to the brink, only to finally realize the practical impossibility of raising the confidence of young men while also sending them to their deaths.

Condition issues include pinholes in the corners and borders, edge wear with small tears, a small stain in the bottom border, small tear in the top border, fold wear with small crossfold separations, some horizontal wrinkling in Peck's cheek, and paper tape on the reverse. Still, the poster appears bright and sharp, and presents very well. Very Fine-.

The Negro Soldier (U.S. Films Inc., 1944). Poster (40" X 60").
In 1944, The U.S. government produced what was arguably the most influential propaganda film to come out of the war,The Negro Soldier. Joe Louis, the World's Heavyweight Champion, was made the centerpiece of the film. Made to counteract the charges of racism and discrimination in the military service, it was designed to be shown to all servicemen, black and white alike, to educate them about the contributions of blacks throughout U.S. history. The film was produced by famed director Frank Capra, and was written by Carlton Moss, who would later become an important figure in African-American independent cinema. This incredibly rare, large format poster is the only known example to have survived to this day and features a great image of Louis. Prior to restoration, there were scuffing and surface abrasions, some small holes in the left and right sides, and a small bit of paper loss at the top left corner. There has been some touchup in the credits area. Don't miss this chance to acquire one of the rarest examples of a poster from black cinematic history. Fine- on Paper.

The film was produced by famed director Frank Capra, and was written by Carlton Moss, who would later become an important figure in African-American independent cinema. This incredibly rare, large format poster is the only known example to have survived to this day and features a great image of Louis. Prior to restoration, there were scuffing and surface abrasions, some small holes in the left and right sides, and a small bit of paper loss at the top left corner. There has been some touchup in the credits area. Don't miss this chance to acquire one of the rarest examples of a poster from black cinematic history. Fine- on Paper.

Casablanca (Warner Brothers, 1947). Post-War Belgian (11" X 15").
This incredible post-war Belgian features one of the most popular designs of any poster made for Casablanca. These posters have been reproduced many times over the years, however what makes this unique is that on the back is a portion of an Occupational Forces map. Paper was scarce after the war and the Belgians were forced to use the backs of maps to print their movie posters. This particular example shows signs of having a play date snipe attached at one time. There is also a piece out of the upper border about 1" square. Folded, Very Good/Fine.

Casablanca (Warner Brothers, R-1950s). Japanese STB (20" X 58").
This rare Japanese "STB", with the benefit of a bit of historical hindsight, and employing a graphic artist with a great eye, gets it right. This is certainly one of the top Casablanca posters, with its absolutely gorgeous full portrait of Ingrid Bergman and one of the greatest moments in screen history, done from a screen capture, right in the center of the poster. The bottom third does not disappoint either; there are portraits of Bogart and Lorre wielding guns in scenes not really seen in the film! This poster exhibits the most minor horizontal crease starting in the middle but is hardly noticeable. Rolled, Near Mint-.

Casablanca (Warner Brothers, 1940s). French Post-War Release Poster (31.5" X 47").
The winner of the 1942 Best Picture Academy Award was a popular film upon its release but its status has become legendary since the 1960s. Considered by many critics to be one of the top romantic films of all time, the casting of Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman can perhaps never be topped! Offered in this lot is the outstanding original release French poster, with art by Pierre Pigeot. This beautiful poster had minor wear to the folds and a small amount of fold chipping. This poster is one of the most attractive for this title we have ever seen and is a glorious artistic rendition of Rick's Bar and the woman that haunts the owner. Very Fine on Linen.

Lawrence of Arabia (Columbia, 1962). Deluxe Lobby Cards (10) (10" X 13").
This sweeping epic film is as spectacular today as when it first captivated audiences in the 1960s. In the best role of his career, Peter O'Toole stars as the title character who sweeps through the Arabian deserts during WWI, with a supporting cast that includes greats Alec Guinness, Anthony Quinn, and Omar Sharif. This blockbuster was nominated for eighteen Oscars and won seven, including Best Director (David Lean), Best Score (Maurice Jarre), and Best Picture. These bright lobby cards are in excellent condition with only corner bumps and some minor wrinkles, and would grade higher but for one card that has edge wear and small tears on the right side. Very Fine+.

One-Eyed Jacks (Paramount, 1961). Double-Sided One Sheet (27" X 41").
Marlon Brando made his debut (and only effort) as a director in this classic western that co-starred his long-time pal, Karl Malden. Brando took the reigns of the film when Stanley Kubrick had to bow out of the project. What the studio got from Brando was a four hour epic that was eventually trimmed down to an hour and forty minutes. All the same,the film is a classic and introspective look at revenge. This double-sided one sheet is extremely rare, as only a few were produced. It was quite unusual to print double-sided posters in the early 1960s. This rolled poster has edge wear and tears on the right side, minor silverfish nibbling in the background that does not go through the paper and two slightly larger tears in the bottom border. Rolled, Very Fine.

The Life of Buffalo Bill (Pawnee Bill Film Co., 1912). One Sheet (27" X 41").
One of the most colorful figures of the Old West, William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody was also a consummate showman. His traveling show, Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World, included as many as 1,200 performers, among them Sitting Bull and Annie Oakley. An important and influential celebrity of the early 20th century, Cody later branched into film, starring as himself in a number of self-promoting pictures dating back as far as 1894. Offered here is a beautiful stone litho poster from one of Cody's three-reelers, featuring a wonderful, idealized image of the legendary frontiersman among a group of Native Americans. This rare, handsome poster has edge wear with a tear in the right border and a small nick in the top border. Very Fine on Linen.

Marked Men (Universal, 1919). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Now considered a lost film, this was John Ford's first version of Peter B. Kyne's story Three Godfathers. He would make two more versions of the story over the next thirty years. This version, stars Harry Carey as Cheyenne Harry, a character the actor would play many times throughout his career. This lovely stone litho poster, which credits Jack Ford as director, as all of his early credits read, depicts the three titular characters in solemn repose. This is a wonderful and very rare one sheet from the early career of one of America's greatest directors. The poster had some wear to the border with some chipping and minor paper loss. There was wear and slight chipping to the vertical fold as well as slight paper loss at the crossfolds. There is touch-up to the horizontal folds. The conservation work was magnificently done. Fine+ on Linen.

White Thunder (FBO, 1925). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style A.
Pioneer stuntman Yakima Canutt stars in White Thunder as a mild-mannered man by day, who dons a white robe at night to deliver justice for sheepmen in their feud with cattlemen. Canutt developed innovative techniques which are still in use to choreograph fight scenes and spectacular stunts. He later teamed with John Wayne and performed several of filmdom's most memorable stunts on Stagecoach. This one sheet is a wonderful example from the silent era. It had pinholes in the corners, fold wear with small paper loss in the fold, two tears on the upper right side, small chips in the borders, and a missing left corner. All of these mars have been carefully addressed by experts and restoration has produced a poster of truly striking beauty. Fine on Linen.

This was one of the Universal Westerns that Jack Hoxie made in the period between 1923 and 1927. Offered here is one of the best Universal stone litho posters, produced by Morgan Litho Company of Cleveland, Ohio or the silent era. Excellent restoration work has this poster looking pristine.

Very Good/Fine on Linen.

This early Ken Maynard silent Western was one of a series he did for First National. Warner Brothers/First National would adapt this Will Comfort novel six years later and give the lead to a then unknown John Wayne.

Hoot Gibson first came to fame in 1912 when he won the "World's Greatest All-Around Cowboy" Championship and then landed roles in some early John Ford westerns.

This one sheet nicely sums up Gibson's career as he literally tamed the western cinema. The poster had a few chips along the vertical fold line and some minor chipping in the borders. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

The Phantom Bullet (Universal, 1926). Banner (36" x 120").
Hoot Gibson stars as Click Farlane, a Colorado cowboy returning to his old homestead when his father (John T. Prince) is murdered by a mysterious gang of rustlers.

Along the way, our hero falls in love with blonde houseguest Eileen Percy. Phantom Bullet was based on Click of the Triangle T, a short story by Oscar J. Friend. This rare banner has some edge wear and fraying, and overall wear to the silk screening, but generally presents very well, with bold colorful graphics. Fine.

Movie Posters
The Daredevil (William Fox, 1920). One Sheet (27" X 41").
By the time this feature Western was made, Tom Mix was writing and directing many of his own films. This was one of his last to direct, but would go on to be the most popular cowboy star of the 1920s. This lovely stone litho one sheet is early, and as such was produced by Fine Art Print, which was the name of Tooker Litho prior to the name change. This is an outstanding portrait of the star and his leading lady, Eva Novak. The poster has a top left corner chip and some chipping in the borders. There is some fold wear with a chip in the top crossfold. There is some minor markings in Mix's name but may be just a print error. There is a faint water stain which is visible in Mix's shirt that slightly extends over onto Novak. The linen has been trimmed to the edges of the poster. Fine- on Linen.

Silver Valley (Fox, 1927). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Tom Mix plays a rancher so infatuated with flying that he adds wings and a propeller to the ranch jalopy and uses it to tackle a gang of rustlers in this curious silent-era Western. This poster has some older restoration performed prior to being mounted on linen. It showed edge wear with chips and tears, fold separations with chips and extra creases, tape lifts in the center horizontal fold, and larger chips to the top and bottom borders. The linen backing has been trimmed to the poster's edges. Good on Linen.

The Phantom Empire (Mascot, 1935). Lobby Cards (6) (11" X 14").
A great set of six lobby cards for the first installment of the musical sci-fi Western. The only thing stranger than the premise is that someone chose this ultra- low-budget oddity to be Gene Autry's first starring role. One card has a tear in the left border that is easily repairable, and some bending and soiling in the lower left corner. The 'Radio Ranch' scene card has a scratch across the middle and some soiling in the lower left. All but one have pinholes to the corners, and all have some amount of tape on the back and some edge wear. The color on each is excellent. Very Good.

Southward, Ho! (Republic, 1939). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Roy Rogers and Gabby Hayes made dozens of popular Westerns together for seven years. In this Republic favorite, they are Confederate veterans headed south to Texas, where they have inherited a ranch along with Wade Boteler, a Union Colonel.

This wonderful and bright poster is one of the best images of Roy Rogers and an important find for collectors. Rogers, in one of his earliest hits, stars with his trusted sidekick George "Gabby" Hayes. They are a pair of Confederate soldiers, and Rogers must choose whether to follow orders or allow a friend-turned-rebel to go free. This one sheet has edge wear, cellophane tape on the reverse at fold and crossfold separations, a small loss at the upper right corner, and staple holes along the left border.

They are a pair of Confederate soldiers, and Rogers must choose whether to follow orders or allow a friend-turned-rebel to go free. This one sheet has edge wear, cellophane tape on the reverse at fold and crossfold separations, a small loss at the upper right corner, and staple holes along the left border. The colors are stunning on this poster that displays beautifully. Fine/Very Fine.
Silver Age (1956-1969)
Heart of the Golden West (Republic, 1942). One Sheet (27" X 41").
When Ross Lambert (Edmund McDonald) raises his rates on cattlemen shipping livestock via his trucking line, Roy Rogers and his friends Frog Millhouse (Smiley Burnette), Gabby Whittaker (George "Gabby" Hayes), and Bob Nolan and the Sons of the Pioneers hatch a scheme to ship their steers via riverboat. Lambert, however, is willing to take desperate measures to stop them. The colorful poster offered here, perfect for any Rogers fan, had pinholes in the corners, a small chip in the left border, fold wear with crossfold separation, and a chip in the image area below the word "King." The minor flaws have been rendered virtually invisible by the application of expert professional restoration, giving the poster a near mint appearance. Fine+ on Linen.

One of the most beloved cowboys, William Boyd had been playing Hopalong Cassidy for five years when this film was made.

Buck Jones was up to his usual pursuit of truth and justice, this time coming to the aid of his brother who is accused of murder, and Universal did him proud with this stellar one sheet. An excellent specimen, the poster shows only minor crossfold separations, fold wear, pinholes in the upper corners of the image, and one minor pinhole in Jones' face, all of which has been retouched with professional restoration.

Somewhere in Sonora (Warner Brothers - First National, 1933). One Sheet (27" X 41").
After backing up Tim McCoy and Buck Jones in a series of B-grade Westerns at Columbia, a young John Wayne was given the lead in his own series of horse operas at Warner Brothers. The posters from this series are very difficult to come by and this stone litho one sheet, one of the best, sports a wonderful art deco design. It has pinholes in the corners and borders, light edge wear, tears in the top border, light fold creases, pinpoint crossfold separations, and slight bleed-through from the stamp on the reverse. Very Fine.

Sagebrush Trail (Monogram, 1933). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
John Wayne stars in this early B Western for Lone Star and Monogram and falls into a common theme from the genre: that of a man imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit. After escaping from jail, he sets out to track down the real criminal. Needless to say, this title card is extremely rare and has one pinhole in the right border and another in the bushes just behind Wayne's back. There are a few very light smudges in the borders, but these are hardly noticeable, making this a beautiful card that will certainly enhance any collection. Very Fine+.

Riders of Destiny (Monogram, 1933). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Between 1933 and 1935, John Wayne made sixteen B Westerns for Monogram, starting with this one. Playing Singin' Sandy Saunders, Wayne opens his mouth several times during the course of the film, and a relatively nice voice comes out. For years it was believed that bandleader Smith Ballew dubbed the songs for Wayne, but more recent evidence points to the son of director Robert Bradbury. The idea of trying to make Wayne a singing cowboy ended very quickly after this film. This title card has pinholes in the upper corners and lower field, light edge wear on the upper border, and a couple of smudges. The card features a dramatic shot of Wayne and female lead Cecilia Parker. Very Fine.

The Telegraph Trail (Warner Brothers, 1933). Insert (14" X 36").
Fantastic graphics adorn this early John Wayne B Western that found the star as a cavalry scout that has to put a stop to the sabotage of the West's first telegraph system.

It has a small surface abrasion in the lower right that occurred after restoration. This is one of the finest images of Wayne out there. Fine on Paper.

King of the Pecos (Republic, 1936). One Sheet (27" X 41").
John Wayne stars in one of the many Republic Westerns he did before Stagecoach put him on the map as a major star. Wayne plays a lawyer who comes back to his home town to take down the crooked rancher who killed his parents. This one sheet has edge and fold wear with small tears and separations, and pen marks on the upper border. The poster itself is something of an anomaly in the hobby. It uses the original artwork from the film The Lonely Trail, which was released the same year as this picture. King of the Pecos actually had another one sheet with completely different artwork. The image presented here appears to be a stock poster that made use of the artwork Republic had on hand, and used a block letter treatment to sell another film, yet no other title but these two have ever been found using this convention. Regardless, this is an exceptionally pretty original and early John Wayne poster. Very Fine+.

Stagecoach (United Artists, 1939). One Sheet (27" X 41") Proof Style.
A spectacular and historically important film, this John Ford classic was his first sound Western and it made John Wayne a star. The archetypal characters of alcoholic doctor, officer's wife, prostitute, corrupt banker, and whiskey salesman are making their way through the hostile Apache territories and are aided by hero/fugitive Ringo Kid (Wayne). Paper for this influential film is scarce and here we are offering an original printer's proof. During the production process of a poster, a printer will take several proofs of colors to make sure they are correct before running large numbers of full color posters. Proofs were not meant to be kept and therefore were small runs, usually printed on discarded paper. The extremely rare proof offered here was printed from a lithography stone and is the first blue color, which would make up the majority of the coloring for the final print, as the poster depicts a night scene. The poster has another image printed on the reverse but it is not apparent from the front and it in no way detracts from this outstanding image. This sheet has not been folded and there were tears and chips along the right side, prior to professional restoration. A unique and important find for any classic film aficionado. Fine+ on Linen.

Three Texas Steers (Republic, 1939). One Sheet (27" X 41").
John Wayne was just starting to exert himself as a major star when he made Three Texas Steers for Republic, reprising his Stoney Brooke role as part of the Three Mesquiteers, along with Ray Corrigan and Max Terhune. It is one of eight Westerns Wayne was to make for the studio in 1938-1939 (he also found time to squeeze in Stagecoach for United Artists). This one sheet had pinholes in the corners, a tear at the bottom left corner, and slight paper loss on Wayne's forehead, all beautifully repaired through professional restoration to display nicely and make a fine addition to any Wayne or Western collection. The linen has been trimmed to the border. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Minimal restoration, including paper-backing, has stabilized this poster for future generations. Very Good on Paper.

My Friend the Devil (Fox, 1922). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Based on the novel Doctor Rameau by Georges Ohnet, this drama portrays a man (Ben Grauer) who sees his mother killed by lightning and becomes an atheist and proceeds to ruin the lives of everyone he loves including his wife and daughter. His wife dies tragically after having an affair with an artist and the protagonist is finally led back to a belief in God by the spirit of his dead wife. The best thing about this film has to be the fabulous posters produced for it, showing the Devil at work. We sold another style one sheet for this film in 2007, that arguably was not as great as this poster. The poster has been professionally restored and has had minimal restoration to the folds and a small chip from the left border. Very Fine on Linen.

The Inferno (Pax-Film, 1919). Lobby Card (11" X 14").

Here condemned souls are tortured by demons as Dante watches. This restored lobby card had small chips and holes in the left border, a corner break on the top left, some touch-up color in the borders, a crease in the top center, and small creases at the top and bottom. Fine on Cardstock.

The Sideshow (Columbia, 1928). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style A.
Set in a circus sideshow, this mystery featured a midget trying to save his circus from a competitor who want's to buy him out... and who will also stop at nothing to achieve his goals. As a sidenote, the movie Freaks which was released four years later, also featured a plot line used in this film and asked the pivotal question, "Can a full grown woman truly love a midget?" This poster has had the borders lightly airbrushed and the fold lines lightly touched up. The lower border had a chip out of it that just touched the bottom of the Columbia seal. Very Fine- on Linen.

Freaks (MGM, 1932). Insert (14" X 36").
It is hard to believe that this film was produced by THE prestige studio in Hollywood and shot on their lot, using their personnel, and their illustrious name. In 1931, MGM's head of production, Irving Thalberg, decided to take on the overwhelming success of competing studio Universal, and their success with such horror films as Dracula and Frankenstein, and create his own niche in that genre. Drawing on a Tod Robbins novel called Spurs, screenwriter Willis Goldbeck created a world even more self-contained than that of Grand Hotel, the warped world of Freaks, the garish world of the circus sideshow, replete with bearded lady, vain acrobats, simpering pinheads, even a hermaphrodite. Thalberg's reaction to the script was: "Well, I asked for something horrifying." The film was shot in 36 days on the Culver City lot, using the same director from Dracula, Tod Browning, with real freaks brought in to populate this bizarre world. When the freaks were given the run of the lot and the MGM commissary, even the most hardened showbiz veterans were shocked! Upon its release in 1932, the film received so much bad press and created such ill will that MGM was forced to withdraw the release from circulation and suffered a loss of approximately $164,000 in Depression-era money. This pre-Code film was a misfire in judgment for the studio, who had the film pulled from distribution for the next 17 years, when it was then picked up by an independent New York distributor for a four-wall campaign in 1949. The posters from the original and short-lived release of this film have always been known to be almost impossible to find. For the horror collector, it is perhaps the rarest and thus, one of the most desirable titles, from which to find posters. Offered in this lot is the only known insert poster to ever surface for this film. The insert was never folded and prior to the conservation work had some chipping from the left border and upper right corner only. The interior image was absolutely intact. The poster had suffered minor fading due to the acid content acquired through improper storage. All of these issues were beautifully corrected and the poster now displays magnificently. This is the only large poster we have ever offered from this title and is likely to be the last we may see in some very long time! Rolled, Fine+.

Tell it to the Marines (MGM, 1926). Danish One Sheet (24.5" X 33.5").
Of all his films, this was unquestionably the favorite of star Lon Chaney. One of the few in which he appears without heavy character make-up, Chaney actually refused the application of any make-up at all, as he felt that would intrude on the sense of reality he was trying to project. Long billed as "The Man of 1,000 Faces," audiences were impressed with his ability to act without the support of heavy disguises. In this terrific film, Chaney plays a hard-bitten drill sergeant with a heart of gold, who loves a girl who loves someone else (the typical "unrequited love" plot found in most of Chaney's films). The picture was so well-received by the Marine Corp, that Chaney was made an honorary Marine, an honor he treasured until the day he died. Offered here is a stunning, never folded Danish poster, which has a small tear in the top border, and a small chip in the right border. These minor flaws are only visible upon close examination, making this a great poster for any fan of the silent era's greatest actor. Rolled, Very Fine.

London After Midnight (MGM, 1927). Argentinean Poster (29" X 43").
The last known copy of this classic silent horror film starring the great Lon Chaney was destroyed in a fire in an MGM studio vault in 1965. It remains one of the most eagerly sought lost films of the era. Chaney portrays a dual role in the film as a Scotland Yard detective and, in disguise, a hideous looking vampire-like character. The film grossed almost $500,000 at the box office, becoming the most successful collaborative film between Chaney and Todd Browning, the director of Dracula and Freaks. The film was loosely remade by Browning as Mark of the Vampire eight years later. Posters for this famous horror film have been as elusive as the film itself over the last eighty years other than a few lobby cards and several half sheets! This is the first large paper poster to ever surface for this classic film. It depicts Chaney and Marceline Day just as they appear in the film in life-like detail. The poster has the most minor fold separations and some tanning to the older paper stock, but the colors and the poster are in remarkably good condition and completely unrestored. This may be your only chance to ever acquire a full one sheet to this classic Chaney film, so act now or perhaps you will never see it again! Very Fine-.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Universal, R-1929). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Known as the Man of a Thousand Faces, Lon Chaney was the screen's first master of movie make-up. From his early roles in such classics as The Miracle Man - in which he plays a contortionist who fakes a miracle healing - to his role as a double amputee in The Penalty, Chaney became a well known character actor portraying tortured, often grotesque and afflicted characters. The greatest of his star-making vehicles was as Victor Hugo's hunchback bell-ringer, Quasimodo, in the classic Universal film from 1923. The film helped set a standard for many later horror films, including Chaney's The Phantom of the Opera in 1925. It brought Universal Studios into the limelight and is one of the top grossing silent films of all-time. Posters from this great film have been in demand since the earliest days of motion picture poster collecting, and few have ever appeared. The film was such a success for the studio that they kept the title in constant re-release for several years after its premier. The original posters for the film were assuredly redistributed with each showing and thus, no doubt, used until they were not in any condition to be displayed again. Only one copy of the Festival of Fools style one sheet, similar to this poster, exists today. That and a handful of other size posters and some tinted lobby cards are all that remain from this classic film. This exceedingly rare find is the only copy we are aware of from the very early reissue of the film. It is a magnificent example of stone lithography and, in some ways, is a better rendering than the original poster. The poster has very minor fold separation and tiny crossfold paper loss. There has been no restoration to this wonderful poster. Very Fine.

The Phantom of the Opera (Universal, 1925). Window Card (14" X 22").
After the tremendous success of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Lon Chaney, The Man of a Thousand Faces, was the logical choice to portray the disfigured Erik, the Phantom of the Opera in the screen adaptation of Gaston Leroux's novel. Chaney would give his greatest performance in the film, and be remembered as the Phantom for the rest of his career. The film was a major hit and would convince executive Carl Laemmle to produce the Universal Horror series that would make the studio famous. This window card had wear in the image area, and a tear at the lower right edge. It has been beautifully and professionally restored with touch-up especially in the Phantom's right arm and hat. Very Good+ on Cardstock.

Man Made Monster (Universal, 1941). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Based on the story, The Electric Man, which Universal had purchased for $3,300 in 1935 as a potential Karloff/Lugosi vehicle, the story was ultimately shelved for five years, and later re-written by George Waggoner (under the pen name "Joseph West") as The Human Robot. This wonderfully lurid poster has Lon Chaney Jr. in a typical pose -- clutching a comely damsel -- and Lionel Atwill in the biggest goggles ever. The poster had chips down the center vertical fold line, and some border chips, but professional restoration has returned it to its former glory, and it is fit for framing. Very Good on Linen.

Dracula (Universal, 1931). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style F.
When Universal Studios went way out on a limb to produce and release this gothic horror thriller with a little known Hungarian actor in the lead role, they produced a number of promotional posters to complement its debut in theaters. There were four different one sheet posters produced, one of which was done in an orange and black, photographic style of which two copies are known to exist. Another style produced did not picture the famous count at all! It merely showed large eyes peering out of darkness at a supine young beauty. The style A poster features just a menacing portrait of Lugosi, and there is only one copy known of that style! Offered in this lots is one of three known existing copies of this style poster picturing the most famous cinema vampire in history from one of the most ground-breaking films of all time! This gorgeous copy has been conserved on linen with touch-up to a couple of pinholes in each corner. There are several minor tears in the border and very minor crossfold separation with tiny paper loss at two points in the poster. There were a couple of small scratches near the Dwight Frye character's right hip which have been touched-up as well. The minor conservation work was performed beautifully. The other two copies of this museum quality one sheet are now in collections, and may not come up for sale for years to come! This is a chance to acquire a cornerstone to the most advanced collection. Provenance; From the Collection of Nicolas Cage. Very Fine on Linen.

Dracula (Realart, R-1951). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
With each generation, Universal reissued its classic monster films to the delight of legions of fans. By the late 1940s, the distribution rights were sold to Realart whose first release of Dracula was this one in 1951. This rolled half sheet has been paper-backed to correct a few small tears in the border and several wrinkles. The professional restoration makes the poster appear Near Mint. Very Fine on Paper.

Dracula's Daughter (Universal, 1936). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
This sequel to Dracula (1931) is largely based on a short story by Bram Stoker. After the events of the previous film, Prof. Van Helsing (Edward Van Sloan) is charged with the murder of Count Dracula. Suddenly, a mysterious woman, the countess Marya Zaleska (Gloria Holden), claiming to be the Count's daughter, steals the vampire's body and cremates it, but it soon appears that there's more to the countess than meets the eye when she approaches Dr. Jeffrey Garth (Otto Kruger) about freeing her from a dangerous desire to drink human blood. This title card from the moody horror classic is colorful, creepy, and very sought after. It had pinholes in the corners and some light edge wear, but professional restoration has addressed these issues admirably. A gorgeous, sought after card in superior display condition. Very Fine-.

The Bride of Frankenstein (Universal, 1935). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Considered by many to be the high point of the Golden Age of Universal Horror, this movie, directed by James Whale, is one of the rare instances in which a sequel surpasses its original. The impressive cast from the first film, including Boris Karloff as the Monster and Colin Clive as his Creator, is joined by Valerie Hobson as Elizabeth, O. P. Heggie as the blind hermit, Elsa Lanchester as the Monster's Mate, and the incomparable Ernest Thesiger as the mysterious and intriguing Dr. Praetorius. A landmark film, paper from this picture is some of the most desirable in the entire hobby. This lovely card, spotlighting the moment the Bride, surrounded by Drs. Praetorius and Frankenstein, comes to life, had pinholes in the corners, borders, and title area, small tears in the top edge, a small ink mark near the Bride's left arm, and corner bumps. Professional restoration has largely addressed these issues, resulting in a very attractive card with good color and a sharp appearance. This is a rare find for anyone who appreciates Universal Horror; don't let it pass you by! Fine/Very Fine.

Son of Frankenstein (Universal, 1939). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Boris Karloff turned in his last performance as the Monster and also made it one of the most memorable. The title card for this horror classic is highly sought after and this example appears almost mint as the colors leap off of the card. The only thing keeping this card from grading at that level is that it had the bottom border and a small spot on the right border slightly airbrushed. This lot includes the original sleeve the lobby set was shipped in. If you're looking for a really clean copy of this impressive entry in the Universal Horror Frankenstein series, this is it! Very Fine+.

The Ghost of Frankenstein (Universal, 1942). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Lon Chaney made his only appearance as Frankenstein's Monster in this classic Universal Horror film. Bela Lugosi reprised his role as Ygor and sought the help of scientists (Sir Cedric Hardwicke and Lionel Atwill) to transplant his brain into the Monsters stronger body. The usual murder and mayhem and monsters running amuck make this title card extremely desirable. The borders have been very lightly airbrushed in just a couple of areas and the card did have some very slight bumps to the lower corners. After the very minor restoration, the card now appears near mint to mint. This lot includes the original sleeve that came with the set of cards. Very Fine/Near Mint.

The Ghost of Frankenstein (Universal, 1942). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
When Carl Laemmle Sr. was forced out of Universal, the studio that he had founded years before, the new regime took a dim view of the gothic horror films that had been produced under the direction of Laemmle's son, Carl Jr. After the box office success of The Wolf Man (1940), not to mention reissue showings of Frankenstein (1931) and Dracula (1931) that were bringing big box office returns, it became clear that the public wanted horror. And so, a new round of films, including this, the fourth entry in the popular Frankenstein franchise, was put into production. In this scene, Erik (Ralph Bellamy) and little Cloestine (Janet Ann Gallow) confront the Monster (Lon Chaney Jr.). The condition of this card is nothing short of remarkable, without a flaw or a defect to mention. Don't wait long to bid on this card; you may never see another in such pristine condition again!

The Ghost of Frankenstein (Universal, 1942). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Although the horror genre had been flagging since the late 1930s, the astounding success of The Wolf Man (1940) caused the studio to revive the Frankenstein franchise, dormant since 1939. The result was this great film, with Lon Chaney Jr. wearing the neck electrodes, and Bela Lugosi reprising his acclaimed role as Ygor. Both of these leading stars are pictured in this great lobby card, which has a bend in the lower left and lower right, and some minor corner bumps. In spite of these minor flaws, this card presents extremely well, and the high degree of eye-appeal make this a real winner. Near Mint-.

The Ghost of Frankenstein (Universal, 1942). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
When Boris Karloff relinquished the role of the Monster after 1939's Son of Frankenstein, the hunt was on to find a worthy successor. After his bravura performance as the lycanthropic Larry Talbot in The Wolf Man (1940), Lon Chaney Jr. was awarded the part. In this continuation of the popular franchise, Bela Lugosi reprised his role as Ygor - considered by many to be one of the finest of his career - and was joined by Lionel Atwill as Dr. Bohmer, and Sir Cedric Hardwicke as Dr. Ludwig Frankenstein, the second son of the Monster's creator. All four of these fine actors are seen on this lovely card, an extremely attractive and desirable piece. It is in exceptional condition; only a very slight bend in the bottom right corner, with a tiny area of surface paper loss on the reverse, keep this treasure from an even higher grade. If you're starting, or adding to, a Universal Horror collection, this card's for you! Very Fine+.

Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (Universal, 1943). Title Lobby Card and Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Two of the mightiest monsters in the Universal Horror franchise met for the first time in this thrill-filled extravaganza. Bela Lugosi finally donned the Frankenstein make-up he had declined years before, and Lon Chaney Jr. reprised his role as the lycanthropic Larry Talbot, making this one of the favorite films in this classic series. This lot features the highly sought-after title card to this horror classic and a scene card with second leads Ilona Massey and Patric Knowles. The title card has been cleaned and restored, but not backed. Prior to restoration, there were small chips on three of the corners, a chip in the bottom border with a tear which extends slightly into the background color. There were pinholes in the borders, two small holes in the bottom left in the blue background, and light edge wear on the bottom border. The scene card has been linen-backed to correct pinholes in the borders, a small hole in the lower right, a minor chip in the top right corner, bends in the corners, and a small tear in the center of the card. Fine.

The Mad Doctor (United Artists, 1933). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Poor old Pluto is kidnapped and taken to an old mansion (inspired by Universal's horror film The Old Dark House) where the mad doctor wants to use him for an experimental transplant. Mickey Mouse has to come to his rescue and soon finds himself in the same predicament as Pluto; strapped to the operating table like Frankenstein's Monster. In fact, the "sets" used in this cartoon look like they were designed for 1931's Frankenstein. This stunning stone litho one sheet attests to the craftsmanship that the H.C. Miner litho company used for Disney's cartoon posters as it is positively bursting with color! The cartoon was released in January, 1933, making this one of the last one sheets that United Artists would issue for an individual cartoon. It has a few very tiny tears in the borders and some very minor separations beginning at the ends of the fold lines. Other than that, this poster is unbelievable and has to be physically seen in person to really be appreciated. This is one of the true classics in movie poster collecting that has a broad appeal to enthusiasts of animation, Disneyana, Americana and horror. When Butterfield's had their famous Disney movie poster sale back in October, 2000, this one sheet was one of the three Mickey Mouse one sheets that were missing from the sale. As of today, we know of only one other copy of this poster in existence and the condition of that copy is reportedly lesser. Very Fine/Near Mint.

The Mummy's Tomb (Universal, 1942). One Sheet (27" X 41").
The third film in Universal's Mummy franchise, this one features Lon Chaney Jr. under the bandages. Fresh from his triumph on The Wolf Man (1941), Chaney was the reigning king of horror at Universal at the time this movie was made. The story revolves around the Mummy stalking the remaining members of the Banning family, seeking revenge on those that disturbed his eternal rest. The one sheet offered here is a real beauty. It shows minor crossfold separation and a small chip in the top border with archival tape on the reverse. This poster rarely shows up in an unrestored condition and this one is an absolute beauty!

The Invisible Man Returns (Universal, 1940). Insert (14" X 36").
All seems lost after Geoffrey Radcliffe (Vincent Price) is wrongly imprisoned for the murder of his brother, but when his friend, Dr. Frank Griffin (John Sutton) - the brother of the original Invisible Man - pays a visit bearing a certain serum, Radcliffe is free to escape the prison and find the real murderer, if the madness caused by the serum doesn't overwhelm him first. This film is significant as Price's first horror film, a genre he would embrace in later decades. The superb insert offered here shows some evidence of fold wear, but the application of expert professional restoration has returned this highly desirable piece to a like-new appearance. Very Fine on Paper.

The Black Cat (Universal, 1934). Pressbook (11.5" X 18").
By 1934, Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff were two of the biggest names in Hollywood, the reigning kings of Universal Horror. It was natural, therefore, that the studio would want to team up these blockbuster actors as quickly as possible. This was the first film to feature the diabolical duo, a chilling and compelling picture that cast the two actors as fervent enemies, contending for the love of a woman dead for many years. One of the finest films in either actor's career, it was also Universal's biggest money-maker for 1934. Not surprisingly, paper from this cinematic masterpiece is exceptionally scarce. We're pleased to offer here a gorgeous pressbook from this exceptional film in superb condition. It has been folded horizontally once, and we note a very small corner bump in the top left, but in all other respects, this pressbook is immaculate and complete. You will be hard pressed to find another copy in such near-perfect condition. For anyone who ever shuddered at the classic Universal monsters, this item is a must-have! Near Mint-.

The Raven (Universal, 1935). Window Card (14" X 22").
This film proved too strong for the movie-going public's taste, with its themes of torture, disfigurement and grisly revenge, at the time of its release and did not do well at the box-office. It and the MGM film, Mad Love, led to the temporary horror ban in England. With the genre no longer economically viable, horror went out of vogue. This is the first time we have ever seen this very rare window card. The card had been trimmed down to be used as a backing board in a frame. It did measure approximately 12" X 16". The card was professionally and beautifully restored with help from the pressbook, to make for this wonderful display piece. This would be a great addition to any horror poster collection. Very Good+ on Cardstock.

The Raven (Universal, 1935). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style D.
One of the first films to pair horror icons Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi, this classic chiller tells the story of a brilliant, but unstable neurosurgeon (Lugosi) who falls in love with one of his patients, and recruits a wanted criminal (Karloff) to kidnap her for him. While most of the Universal Horror films from this period were creepy and atmospheric, this film is genuinely frightening! Both Karloff and Lugosi were at the peak of their powers in 1935, and the result is a brilliant collaboration, one that would rarely be repeated with such incredible results. Prior to restoration the poster had approximately .25" trimmed around the border and two 2" crossfold tears in Karloff's mouth, some light chipping and smaller crossfold tears along the horizontal and vertical fold lines with a bit larger chipping along the lower horizontal fold line. There was a larger tear by the candle in the lower right corner and some color touch to the title, lower credits, and background towards the bottom of the poster. All of these defects have been restored so that the poster now displays beautifully, and remember, this is one of only two known copies of this Universal Horror classic! Very Good/Fine on Linen.

The Invisible Ray (Universal, 1935). Pre-War Australian Daybill (15" X 40").
In this Universal sci-fi/horror classic, we are treated to fantastic performances by both Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi. Karloff is Dr. Rukh, a scientist who invents a telescope that can look deep into space and into the past. After he sees a meteor that landed in Africa centuries ago, he and Dr. Benet (Lugosi) travel to the dark continent in search of the rock. Dr. Rukh is exposed to radiation, which turns him luminous and slowly deteriorates his mind. This daybill had fold wear, a tear in the top border with a chip, multiple tape lifts and tears in the right border with one going into the image, a crease in the top right corner, and surface paper loss in the left border. Professional restoration has returned this poster to its original splendor. With the great image of Karloff, this rare daybill is quite a treat for horror enthusiasts. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

The Invisible Ray (Universal, 1935). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
This rare and exquisite card features Bela Lugosi, Frances Drake, and Frank Lawton looking on in horror at the terrible invention created by Dr. Rukh, delightfully played by Boris Karloff, who is peering out from the corner of the card. There are pinholes in the corners of the image, a light crease in the top right corner, and a corner bump in the lower left. Very Fine.

The Invisible Ray (Realart, R-1948). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
Two of the greatest horror film stars in movie history, Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi, teamed up eight times in their career. Perhaps the most overlooked is The Invisible Ray in which Karloff is the mad scientist and Lugosi is the well meaning researcher in a classic tale of power run amok. This half sheet has edge wear, fold wear, small tears in the borders, and small corner bumps. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Werewolf of London (Realart, R-1951). Insert (14" X 36").
In creating the look of the werewolf for this picture (the first werewolf ever to be seen on the silver screen), ace make-up artist Jack Pierce - responsible for the look of some of Universal's greatest monsters - originally settled on a more hirsute version, one that looked very much like the make-up eventually used in The Wolf Man (1941). Reportedly, star Henry Hull begged off wearing the make-up, as its application was exceptionally time consuming, so a less hairy version was created at his request. In spite of the make-up revision, the result was a classic film that continues to thrill and entertain viewers to this day. As with all of the Universal monster pictures, demand for paper from this movie is extremely high. The insert offered here had pinholes in the top and bottom corners, fold wear, a bend in the top right corner, creasing in the bottom corner, and a tear in the bottom border extending into the title area. After the application of expert professional restoration, these slight flaws have been rendered virtually invisible, making this a superlative addition to any collection. Very Fine- on Paper.
In creating the look of the werewolf for this picture (the first werewolf ever to be seen on the silver screen), ace make-up artist Jack Pierce - responsible for the look of some of Universal's greatest monsters - originally settled on a more hirsute version, one that looked very much like the make-up eventually used in The Wolf Man (1941). Reportedly, star Henry Hull begged off wearing the make-up, as its application was exceptionally time consuming, so a less hairy version was created at his request. In spite of the make-up revision, the result was a classic film that continues to thrill and entertain viewers to this day. As with all of the Universal monster pictures, demand for paper from this movie is extremely high.

The Wolf Man (Realart, R-1948). One Sheet (27" X 41").
A rare, reissue one sheet with vibrant colors from the most popular horror film of the 1940s! A fine dramatic actor who won raves for his performance as Lennie in Of Mice and Men, Lon Chaney (he dropped the "Junior" for the first time with this film) is certainly best known today for his portrayal of the savage lycanthrope. Surrounding Chaney on The Wolf Man was a surprisingly strong cast including Claude Rains, Evelyn Ankers, Ralph Bellamy, Warren William, Patric Knowles, Maria Ouspenskaya, and Bela Lugosi. This stunning one sheet had a very small dot of red printer's ink on the green gown, some upper vertical fold separation, and a small hole in the Wolf Man's eyebrow, all addressed through professional restoration to produce a very desirable display piece. Very Fine- on Linen.

Creature from the Black Lagoon (Universal International, 1954). One Sheet (27" X 41").
In the dark and swampy back waters of the Amazon lives one of the most terrifying monsters of all horror films, the human like Gill-Man. Originally shown in 3-D, the eerie atmosphere and lifelike creature who murders members of a scientific expedition and carries off the lovely Julia Adams, had 1950s audiences shrieking and shaking in their seats, and wanting more. The Gill-Man was to reappear shortly in two Universal sequels: Revenge of the Creature and The Creature Walks Among Us. This spectacular one sheet, with artwork by Reynold Brown, has three small tears in the top border, and a pinpoint crossfold separation. For all monster fans, this exquisite poster ranks as a must have, especially in this remarkable condition with its fresh, saturated colors. Very Fine/Near Mint.

Creature from the Black Lagoon (Universal International, 1954). Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style A.
The release of this movie in 1954 marked the beginning of the new wave of Universal Horror, a genre that had been mostly dormant since the middle of the previous decade. In quick order, the Gill-Man (played by Ricou Browning in the underwater shots, and Ben Chapman in the land segments) became an iconic part of the Universal stable, joining Frankenstein, Dracula, and the Wolfman as one of the world's favorite monsters. The movie was so successful, it spawned several sequels, and continues to be a big favorite among genre aficionados. As a result of its enduring popularity, paper from this title is extremely collectible. This lovely half sheet, which was never folded, had some staining in the top right border, and a tear in the left border that extended into the image area, but these minor flaws have been carefully addressed via expert professional restoration. If you've been looking for a great piece from this title to add to your collection, look no further! Very Fine- on Paper.

Creature from the Black Lagoon (Universal International, 1954). Australian Daybill (13" X 30").
One of the most famous, and certainly one of the most fondly remembered, monster movies of the 1950s, Creature from the Black Lagoon produced one of filmdom's all-time best monsters in the half man, half fish Gill-Man. Beguiled by the lovely young woman accompanying a scientific team, he kills several members of the team before grabbing the girl and taking her to his grotto. A rescue effort saves her and gunshots send the Gill-Man sinking into the sea. (He would return in two sequels.) This very rare Australian daybill has only some edge wear and very minor stains. A wonderful collectible from a true genre classic. Folded, Very Fine.

Revenge of the Creature (Universal International, 1955). One Sheet (27" X 41").
One of the screen's greatest monsters - the Creature from the Black Lagoon - is back, and this time he finds love, unrequited though it may be. The Gill Man is captured by scientists and brought to an aquarium in Florida where he is kept in an oversized fish tank. Smitten by a beautiful researcher, the Creature escapes, sowing mayhem and terror in his wake while stalking her. Ultimately he succeeds in abducting the object of his affections, resulting in a rescue effort by the police and Coast Guard that leads to the Creature's apparent demise, although he returned again the next year in The Creature Walks Among Us. As an added note, Clint Eastwood makes his (uncredited) debut in this horror classic, as a white-coated lab assistant. Artist Reynold Brown captured this iconic creature and his beautiful love interest in a stunning one sheet that had pinholes in the corners and an extra vertical crease on the left and right, all professionally addressed through expert restoration to produce a gorgeous display piece. Very Fine+ on Linen.

House of Horrors (Universal, 1946). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Actor Rondo Hatton, who was severely disfigured in real life by the disease Acromegaly, was used, and some say exploited, by Universal as a horror star, most notably as "the Creeper." Unfortunately, Hatton died at the age of fifty, the year this film was released. Sculptor Stephen Morrow, (played by Robert Lowery) rescues the Creeper from drowning, only to manipulate him into murdering his enemy art critics. Lovely Virginia Grey also stars. This magnificent one sheet had only enlarged pinholes in the top left and right corners prior to professional restoration. Now is your chance to meet the Creeper and take him home, if you dare!

The Vampire Bat (Majestic, 1933). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Small-time Majestic Pictures got on the horror bandwagon after Universal's success with Dracula and Frankenstein to produce their own version of the Prince of Darkness legend. It appears that flying, blood-sucking creatures have returned to the European village of Kleinschloss. Detective Karl Brettschneider (Melvyn Douglas) is skeptical, but resolves to find who or what is behind the rash of murders that have swept the village. A pre-King Kong Fay Wray provides the love interest. This early horror one sheet has a Netherlands censor stamp with color transfer at the bottom. It had pinholes in the borders, a 6" tear at the top center edge, fold wear and crossfold separation, a large chip in the lower right (with some paper still missing) and upper right corners, a small chip on the lower right border, and paper surface loss at the top right with a corner chip, all carefully repaired through expert restoration to produce a beautiful example of early horror genre poster art. Very Good/Fine on Linen.

King Kong (RKO, 1933). French Grande (47" X 63").
Willis H. O'Brien's stop-motion effects animation was legendary in its day, and it retains its magic today; while technology has progressed considerably since King Kong was first released, O'Brien was able to give his great ape a personality, and Kong's moments of fear, curiosity, pain, and occasional goofiness gave him a sympathetic, ultimately tragic dimension that adds immeasurably to this classic film's effectiveness. This lovely and large poster, one of several styles created for the film's original release in France, has artwork by a young artist of the time named Rene Peron. He would make a great name for himself over the next three decades producing artwork of the quality seen on this outstanding poster, in all of its art deco glory! The poster has been backed but is lifting in several spots from the linen. It is somewhat tan in color and has some wear to the foldlines. Fine+ on Linen.

King Kong (RKO, 1933). Door Hanger (4.25" X 6.75").
Considered by many to be one of the greatest movies ever made, the original King Kong stands as a high water mark in cinematic achievement. The great cast, including Fay Wray, Robert Armstrong, and Bruce Cabot, and the superb script are highlighted by the brilliant stop motion effects created by Willis O'Brien. Thanks to "Obie's" efforts, Kong becomes a living, breathing creature who, even after his rampage through Manhattan, evokes our deepest sympathy at the end. It should come as no surprise that paper from this movie is extremely scarce and highly desirable, with one sheets setting record prices whenever they are brought to market. Offered here is an extremely rare piece from the original release, a promotional door hanger advertising a showing at the Paramount Theater in Garland, according to a stamp on the reverse. In exquisite condition, only some very slight handling wear keeps this beauty from an even higher grade. Near Mint.

Mad Love (MGM, 1935). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Peter Lorre is at his creepy best in this offbeat thriller about concert pianist Stephen Orlac (Colin Clive) whose hands are crushed in an accident. Desperate to heal her husband, beautiful actress Yvonne Orlac (Frances Drake) appeals to eminent surgeon Dr. Gogol (Lorre) for help. Gogol, obsessed with Yvonne, grafts the hands of vicious knife murderer Rollo onto Stephen's arms, attempting to remove him from the picture, with terrible consequences for all involved. Directed by Karl Freund, who also helmed the Universal classic The Mummy (1932), this was Lorre's first American film, and helped solidify his reputation as one of the leading actors in Hollywood. The movie was extremely controversial at the time of its release, and was banned, or heavily censored, in several countries. This evocative title card, the only copy known to exist, has pinholes in the corners, as well as two in the black field, very light staining in the right and left borders, some very minor chipping in the bottom border, and some slight creasing in the corners. Additionally, although the card measures a full 11" X 14", we note that the image is slightly off center. In spite of these very minor flaws, this is a very attractive, and very desirable, card. Paper on this title is extremely scarce, so don't miss this opportunity to add this stunner to your collection. Fine/Very Fine.

This insert has staple holes in the image, edge wear, small stains below the RKO logo and in the right border, and four extra horizontal creases. Fine+.

The She-Creature (American International, 1956). One Sheet (27" X 41").
When lovely Andrea (Marla English) is hypnotized by the evil Dr. Carlo Lombardi, she regresses to her prehistoric self: a horrific sea monster that begins to terrorize the public. This film is notable for the sinister-looking monster costume created by make-up artist Paul Blaisdell, who was actually inside the suit. The idea for this film may have been sparked by the mass interest in the early 1950s with Virginia Tighe, who was put under hypnosis by Morey Bernstein and revealed her past life as Bridey Murphy, in 19th century Ireland. Most details of her story were later debunked and proved to be based on Tighe's childhood memories. This sheet is in excellent condition and only had minor smudges in the credits. The spectacular artwork of this desirable poster is by Albert Kallis. Very Fine+ on Linen.

They quickly find themselves in over their heads, leading to a future of prison and betrayal. Made in the aftermath of the devastation of World War II, this film is one of the first neo-realist efforts by renowned filmmaker Vittorio Di Sica, who also directed such landmark pictures as The Bicycle Thief (1948) and Umberto D (1952). The striking poster offered here, designed by artist Jan Lenica, had a small tear in the top center and one in the lower left, but expert restoration has rendered these slight flaws virtually invisible. Very Fine on Linen.

Gate of Hell (Daiei, 1953). Danish (24" X 33").
The very first Japanese film to gain artistic and critical recognition abroad - it won the 1954 Palme d'or Grand Prize award at the Cannes Film Festival, a 1955 Honorary Academy Award for "Best Foreign Language Film," and the 1954 New York Film Critics Circle Award for "Best Foreign Language Film" - this movie, originally titled Jigokumon, concerns a samurai in 12th-century Japan who is granted his fondest desire for loyal service to his master. Unfortunately, his desire is for the wife of another samurai. Based on a well-known play, this movie is a dazzling example of 1950s Japanese color photography, and stands today as a true international classic. This poster has staple holes in three of four corners and a pinhole in the image, a small hole in the bottom right corner, a crease in the top left corner, and a censor stamp in the top left corner. The bold colors and intense imagery make this beautiful Danish poster, with artwork signed by Stilling, an impressive piece. Fine/Very Fine.

Within its pages, you'll find such gems as The Hysterical Age, an unproduced picture with El Brendel, Charlie Chan's Chance with Warner Oland, and Alimony Queens, an unproduced picture with Warner Baxter and Joan Bennett. All the titles are sumptuously illustrated - some by John Held Jr. - and the book is in great condition. It shows corner creasing and creasing at the spine on the cover, a small chip in the cover's right side, and a corner crease in the first page, but is otherwise immaculate. Don't miss out on this rare piece! Very Fine+.

Offered here is a treasure-trove of movie history. Spotlighting RKO's 1941-42 season, within the pages of this spectacular book can be found previews of such film classics as Citizen Kane with Orson Welles, Disney's legendary production of Fantasia, and the immortal classics Dumbo and Bambi. Of particular interest to science fiction fans is the announced production of Gwangi, with special effects by Willis O'Brien.

The book itself is in wonderful condition, with only a corner ding in the lower right of the cover keeping it from an even higher grade. Very Fine+.

The third oldest studio in Hollywood history, Warner Brothers was founded in 1918 by Harry, Albert, Sam, and Jack Warner, Polish immigrants who got their start in the business by showing movies in the mining towns of Pennsylvania and Ohio.

The Thief of Bagdad (United Artists, 1940). One Sheet (27" X 41").

Titanic (20th Century Fox, 1953). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
Before James Cameron's CGI epic about the ill-fated White Star liner, Jean Negulesco directed this earlier picture.

The Lives of a Bengal Lancer (Paramount, 1935). Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style B.
Gary Cooper was just at the start of his immense popularity, after ten years in Hollywood, when he starred in this film about three Bengal Lancers in colonial India. Cooper, Franchot Tone, and Richard Cromwell are three British Lieutenants captured by rebel Mohammed Khan (Douglass Dumbrille), who is planning an uprising. Based on a story by Francis Yeats-Brown, this hit was nominated for seven Academy Awards. Restoration has addressed some of the issues on this half sheet, including edge wear with chips in the top and left borders, multiple tears, and bends in the bottom corners. This is a must have, as original posters for this film are scarce; we have not previously come across this style with its wonderfully bright artwork. Good+ on Cardstock.

The Gaucho (United Artists, 1927). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Douglas Fairbanks wrote, produced, and starred in this socially-conscious film about a South American hero who is called upon to save the leading lady (Eve Southern) from a villainous general (Gustav von Seyffertitz), much to the ire of a jealous love interest (a sultry Lupe Velez). The card has been pressed and cleaned, and has a bend in the top left corner. Very Fine.

Reaching for the Moon (United Artists, 1930). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
Wealthy financier Larry Day (Douglas Fairbanks) is a whiz with money, but a dope when it comes to women. Taking instruction in romance from his valet (Edward Everett Horton), Day goes on a cruise and woos the lovely Vivian Benton (Bebe Daniels), but things take a turn for the worse when the stock market crash wipes him out, and almost costs him his happiness. One of Fairbanks's last films, it also features Bing Crosby as one of the Whiteman Rhythm Boys, singing "Lower than Lowdown." Offered here is a wonderful art deco-style half sheet, featuring a terrific caricature of Fairbanks. It has a stain in the right border, tears and small chips in the bottom border, a small chip in the bottom left corner, and creasing in the top border. Although the poster has been linen-backed to stabilize it, no restoration has been performed. It is a beautiful piece in any case, a great addition to any collection. Fine+ on Linen.

Reaching for the Moon (United Artists, 1930). One Sheet (28" X 42").
This Depression-influenced comedy stars Douglas Fairbanks as a financier whose setbacks are driving him to drink, much to the consternation of valet Edward Everett Horton. This witty comedy (which began as an Irving Berlin musical until all but one song were excised) co-stars Bebe Daniels and includes an early performance by Bing Crosby as a member of the Whiteman Rhythm Boys. This unusual one sheet features many major stars of the day giving their thoughts on the film, and must be the early predecessor of the review style one sheet. Charlie Chaplin, Gloria Swanson, Al Jolson, Joan Crawford, and even Douglas Fairbanks Jr. are quoted in their Western Union telegrams.

This Depression-influenced comedy stars Douglas Fairbanks as a financier whose setbacks are driving him to drink, much to the consternation of valet Edward Everett Horton.

This unusual one sheet features many major stars of the day giving their thoughts on the film, and must be the early predecessor of the review style one sheet. Charlie Chaplin, Gloria Swanson, Al Jolson, Joan Crawford, and even Douglas Fairbanks Jr. are quoted in their Western Union telegrams.

The creation of renowned fantasy author Edgar Rice Burroughs, Tarzan, the Lord of the Jungle, was a sensation upon his first appearance in the October 1912 issue of All-Story Magazine. It didn't take Hollywood long to see the potential in this popular character, and in 1918 the first of many movies to feature Burroughs's creation hit the screen, with Elmo Lincoln in the title role. Later Ape Men would include Olympic champions Buster Crabbe, Herman Brix, and Johnny Weissmuller, who made his tree-swinging debut in 1932's Tarzan the Ape Man. Another enormously popular picture, it was followed by a number of sequels starring Weissmuller and co-star Maureen O'Sullivan. Of all the Tarzan movies ever filmed, collectors know that these two, the first film and the first Weissmuller film, are some of the hardest to find material from. Offered in this lot is a glass slide from Tarzan of the Apes, which has writing in the bottom red area, and an immaculate glass slide from Tarzan the Ape Man, as well as a herald from the same film, that shows some slight ink bleed-through from the reverse. This is a treasure-trove of hard-to-find material for the dedicated Burroughsphile, rare material that may never be offered again. Very Fine-.

A Clockwork Orange (Warner Brothers, 1971). One Sheet (27" X 41").
A highly controversial film upon its release that prompted letters to newspapers suggesting the overt violence was fascism, and others from psychologists lauding its portrayal of mankind's unconscious motivations, A Clockwork Orange was one of the most talked about films of the early 1970s. Originally given an X rating by the MPAA, the film encountered marketing difficulties as some newspapers would not accept advertising from movies carrying that rating. The film was subsequently edited by director Stanley Kubrick, and the MPAA rating was changed from X to R. Despite the controversy, the film was nominated for Best Picture and Kubrick earned an Academy Award nomination as well. This bright one sheet had fold wear, two small surface abrasions on the right side, a top left corner bend, and surface loss at the top on the reverse, all professionally restored. The linen has been trimmed to the border. Very Fine on Linen.

Rashomon (Daiei, R-1960s). Japanese STB (20" X 58").
When director Akira Kurosawa was asked about the meaning of this film, in which a heinous crime is committed and then recalled from various points of view, he replied that this film is a reflection of life, and that life does not always provide clear meanings. The film was so significant that the Motion Picture Academy created a new award, Best Foreign Film, in its honor. Original country-of-origin paper from this landmark film is incredibly scarce. In the STB offered here, the top panel is in impeccable condition; the bottom panel shows pinholes in the borders, tape on the reverse repairing small tears at the top and bottom, and a small area of surface paper loss in the top right border. Nonetheless, this is an exquisite piece that any fan of this famed director will be proud to own. Fine/Very Fine.

Red Beard (Toho, R-1971). Japanese Poster (47" X 71").

That Uncertain Feeling (United Artists, 1941). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Director Ernst Lubitsch was so noted for his sophisticated and heartfelt romantic comedies that the term "The Lubitsch Touch" was coined, and this delightful film does not disappoint. The stunning Merle Oberon stars as a hiccupping housewife who is persuaded to visit a psychiatrist who determines that she has marital problems. She temporarily falls for a fellow patient, the neurotic pianist Alexander Sebastian, played brilliantly by Burgess Meredith, and files for a divorce from husband Larry (Melvyn Douglas). This one sheet has pinholes, small tears, a printing offset in the title, and a small tear next to the title. There are chips in the lower left corner and border, and a chip in the top right corner. These issues do not distract from the wonderful image of the stars. Fine.

Five Graves to Cairo (Paramount, 1943). Autographed One Sheet (27" X 41").
Billy Wilder chose a story of war, intrigue, and romance for this, his second directorial effort. It is the third adaptation of Lajos Biro's Hotel Imperial, with the story transported from World War I to the African campaign of World War II.

Poor Marge Bradley (Gloria Talbott) just can't seem to catch a break. Just as soon as she marries rugged Bill Farrell (Tom Tryon), he starts acting strangely, like he's not himself. Sadly, Marge never saw this movie, or she'd know exactly what's wrong with her hubby: he's been replaced by a horrific space alien! One of the best "paranoia" sci-fi films of the 1950s, this picture played into very real fears about infiltration by Communists during the Cold War. A very desirable title for science fiction poster collectors, this half sheet boasts a great image of Talbott and the shadowy monster. It shows light edge and fold wear, a small chip in the lower right, and a corner bump in the top right. These are very minor flaws indeed, making this a poster that will definitely enhance any collection. Very Fine-.

The Deadly Mantis (Universal International, 1957). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Shades of global-warming! Though released more than 50 years ago, The Deadly Mantis has a plotline that sounds like it was inspired by today's environmental concerns. In this 1957 thriller, an arctic iceberg cracks, releasing a giant, carnivorous praying mantis that first devours several people on its home ice, then with an apparently innate homing instinct, heads toward Washington, D.C. Ken Sawyer supplies the art for this terrific poster. There is a vertical drip stain on the credits, enlarged pinholes, one minor center fold separation, a right border fold, and light border smudges, none of which diminish the impact of this fun poster.

One Million Years B.C. (20th Century Fox, 1966). Six Sheet (81" X 81").
"This is the way it was," says the tagline, and we're sure that plenty of cavewomen looked like Raquel Welch and ran around in fur bikinis a million years ago. Historical accuracy aside, this great film is a remake of One Million BC (1940), which starred Victor Mature, Carol Landis, and Lon Chaney Jr. The stunning one sheet offered here shows pinholes in the corners and the image area, and tape stains in the top left, but otherwise this classic poster is crisp and clean, perfect for any collection.

Here is a very rare item for this science fiction/horror dinosaur film.The logo turns into a spectacular 3D image of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. This is a prototype lenticular poster made by Kodak to show to Amblin Entertainment Studios. Made out of photographic material laminated onto Plexiglas that creates a 3D effect, it is called a barrier strip image in the industry. It is thought that only three or four exist as they were only produced as a prototype. The full sized one sheet version that was ultimately created for the film's release was based on this smaller original. Near Mint/Mint.

Woman in the Moon (UFA, 1929). French Lobby Card (10.5" X 13.75").
The word "visionary" is often overused, but it is perfectly applicable in the case of genius film-maker Fritz Lang. This legendary film-maker, responsible for such German classics as Dr. Mabuse der Spieler (1922), Die Nibelungen (1924), and, of course, Metropolis (1927), created a landmark science fiction epic in this picture, which marks the first appearance anywhere of a backwards countdown to take-off, and correctly anticipates such later developments as liquid rocket fuel, zero gravity, and a multi-stage rocket. In a story that may be apocryphal, when the Nazis began developing rocket technology, they were afraid that this film came too close to the truth, so they had all the models destroyed and the movie itself suppressed. As with all of Lang's classic films, paper from the original release is very hard to find. Offered here is a lovely French lobby card, showing a group of explorers on the moon, prospecting for gold. It has staple holes in the right and left borders, pinholes in the corners, and corner bumps, but remains a very attractive and displayable piece. This is one you won't want to pass up. Fine/Very Fine.

Red Planet Mars (United Artists, 1952). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
Earth is thrown into chaos when a message, apparently from God himself, is received from Mars by a husband and wife team of scientists (Peter Graves and Andrea King). What they fail to realize, however, is that the message is a fraud, sent by a Communist agent and an ex-Nazi scientist, promoting a sinister agenda. An intriguing film, it is represented here by this splendid half sheet. It shows light edge wear at the top, fold wear with pinpoint crossfold separation, and a small corner bend in the lower left. This is a great piece that deserves a place in a fine collection. Very Fine.

This poster features Lawrence Schiller's iconic photograph of Redford, Newman and Katherine Ross and distinctive artwork that captures the essence of the film. There is light edge wear and stains, tears at the top of the left and right edges, a tape lift on the left center and chips at the top and on the right border. A beautiful poster of one of the 1960s most popular films! Rolled, paper-backed. Fine-.

Dragstrip Girl (American International, 1957). One Sheet (27" X 41").
The juvenile delinquent genre of the late 1950s spawned some truly memorable films, including this classic drive-in flick starring Fay Spain (in the title role), Steven Terrell, John Ashley, and Frank Gorshin. Louise (Spain) is looking for thrills, and doesn't mind pitting her boyfriends Jim (Terrell) and Fred (Ashley) against each other, climaxing in a winner-take-all drag race to the finish. This great poster shows some light staining in the borders, slight bleed-through of the studio stamp on the reverse, light edge wear in the bottom border, and some light extra vertical creasing. Otherwise, it's in terrific shape, perfect for anyone who remembers the '50s. Very Fine-.

Hot Rod Rumble (Allied Artists, 1957). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Arnie Crawford (played by Marlon Brando look-a-like Richard Hartunian) burns up the asphalt in this exciting "JD on wheels" flick. When Arnie joins a local hot rod club, his swaggering presence makes him unpopular, and he is soon enmeshed in a tangled web of jealousy, lies, and attempted murder. This stunningly attractive poster has been mounted on linen, which has been trimmed to the borders of the poster. It had pinholes in the corners and in the field, a small hole in the top right, tape lifts on the reverse and some paper loss at the center horizontal fold, some paper loss in the bottom border that extends into the printing on the left side, and evidence of some airbrushing in the credits area. After expert professional restoration, you would be hard pressed to notice any of these slight flaws without an extensive examination. If you like fast cars - and faster women! - this is the poster for you! Good/Very Good on Linen.

It's murder at 120 miles per hour in this gripping AIP juvy film as Rick Martin takes the fall for a tragic accident that wasn't his fault until he eventually comes face-to-face with the actual culprit in a desperate battle on the beach. This picture was promoted with one of the most exciting poster campaigns ever conceived for a JD movie, as seen in this spectacular half sheet. It has edge wear with small tears in the left border, slight staining in the lower right corner, a dust shadow in the top border, and a corner bend in the lower left, but these are all minor flaws, only noticeable under close examination.

In this juvenile delinquent spectacle, teenage Nick Barrow (Brett Halsey) is hiding out from the law after committing a murder. As a mechanic in another town, he starts trouble again with his love of women, fast cars, and fist fights.

"A Man went looking for America and couldn't find it anywhere." This iconic image of Peter Fonda as Wyatt is a real beauty. He was joined by fellow counterculture biker Billy (Dennis Hopper) and a disenfranchised attorney (Jack Nicholson) in his free spirited trek across America.

Cry Baby Killer (Allied Artists, 1958). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Jack Nicholson got the first billing in his long and illustrious career playing misfits and oddballs in this teenage melodrama which is generally accepted as his film debut, though he actually appeared, unbilled, in T-Bird Gang . In Cry Baby Killer, the 21-year-old Nicholson plays a delinquent who takes hostages, and barricades himself in a storeroom, only to see the scene turn into a circus as news crews and curious spectators create a festive atmosphere. This one sheet features artwork of the youthful Nicholson and a lovely hostage. It has pinholes, stains in the lower center, a tiny hole in the top center, two light vertical creases and light wrinkling at the bottom, none of which detract from the overall appeal of the poster. Very Fine+.

A striking example of the "bad girls behind bars" genre features a solid cast with Richard Denning as a prison chaplain who takes up the cause of the wrongly convicted Joan Taylor, only to see his faith tested when a gang of inmates successfully stage a breakout and make Taylor an unwitting participant. Phyllis Coates TV "Superman's" Lois Lane, provides an impressive change of pace with her convincing portrayal of a psycho. Very Fine.

From Russia with Love (United Artists, 1963). Japanese B2 (20" X 29").
Considered one of the best, and most exciting James Bond films in the franchise, this picture relies more on actual espionage than on the gadgets that the movies would become known for following the next film in the series, Goldfinger (1964). At $2 million, the budget for this picture was twice that allocated for the previous movie, Dr. No (1962), and it shows. In addition, this movie introduced Bond's most persistent villain, the evil Ernst Stavro Blofeld. No wonder this picture rates so highly among Bond fans! Offered here is the attractive Japanese B2. It has pinholes in the borders, light staining at the bottom of the poster, a small smudge in the lower right, and tears in the right and top left borders. In spite of these minor flaws, the poster is highly displayable, an important addition to any Bond collection. Rolled, Fine/Very Fine.

This one sheet, from filmdom's most successful franchise, has pinholes in the corners, small stains at the top and bottom, small bleed-through from a stamp on the upper left, light wrinkling on the right side and pinpoint cross fold separations.

Sean Connery is in top form as Agent 007 in what many consider his very best James Bond picture.

007's ongoing battle with the forces of SPECTRE culminates in this movie, bringing him (and the audience) face-to-face with the evil Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Donald Pleasance) for the first time. Sean Connery was growing weary of the role by this time, and decided to hang up his Walther, though he did return for two more outings as James Bond in 1971 and 1983. The poster has pinholes in the tagline and bottom right corner, smudging on the bottom vertical fold, fold wear with crossfold separations, and light wrinkling. Very Fine-.

Agent 007 teams with the Japanese secret service to put a halt to a series of spacejackings before they provoke a nuclear war between the US and the USSR.

The poster has some pinpoint crossfold separations. Folded, Very Fine/Near Mint.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service (United Artists, 1970). French Grande (47" X 63").
Because George Lazenby was not a well-known actor at the time of release, the marketing for this, the sixth official James Bond film, focused more on the character than the actor playing him, even going so far as to use a "faceless" Bond in some posters. This stunning French poster, however, is not one of those, and presents a good image of Lazenby looking typically cool in an iconic Bond pose, albeit with skis. This poster has some minor crossfold separation and foldwear. Very Fine.

This much maligned installment of the franchise, one of the best direct adaptations of a Bond novel, featured George Lazenby's only appearance as Agent 007. The series' transition from Sean Connery to Lazenby was hampered by short-sighted advertising that failed to emphasize the new actor -- such as this one sheet that only featured his silhouette. The poster has a smudge to the left border, fold wear, centerfold separations, fold separations at the borders, and light wrinkling. Very Fine-.

You Only Live Twice (United Artists, 1967). Japanese STB (20" X 58").
The Japanese really loved this poster as this Bond picture was set in their country. Sean Connery stars as Ian Flemings' master spy on a mission to find out who's stealing satellites from outer space and trying to bring the world to the brink of nuclear war. This poster has a tear in the explosion at the top of the poster, two chips out of the right edge, right corner torn off, pinholes in the other corners and bottom of the center border and some writing bleeding through the sky portion of the top of the poster. Very Good.

Casino Royale (Columbia, 1967). Japanese B2 (20" X 29").

For Your Eyes Only (United Artists, 1981). British Quad (30" X 40").
In this, the first James Bond movie based on an Ian Fleming short story, Agent 007 (Roger Moore) is tasked with recovering a sensitive communication device before it falls into enemy hands. This film marks the last appearance in the official Bond series of 007's nemesis, Ernst Stavros Blofeld, as the rights to that character had been won by Kevin McClory, executive producer of Never Say Never Again, in a court battle.

Scrambled Brains (Columbia, 1951). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Perhaps the most aptly titled Three Stooges film of all-time, Scrambled Brains features the trio of Larry, Moe, and Shemp. When Shemp has hallucinations that cause him to marry a rather homely "plus-size" nurse, it's Moe and Larry to the rescue. Of course the ensuing mayhem produces a healthy dose of pure Stooges hilarity. This exuberant one sheet had a crease on the left side, surface paper loss on the reverse, and a tear on the bottom right corner, but careful restoration has returned it to its original eye-catching condition. A must for any Three Stooges collector! Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Little Giant (Universal, 1946). Six Sheet (81" X 81").
Not your typical Abbott and Costello film, Little Giant was a change of pace from the formula that had made the duo so successful. As the relationship between the men was rocky at the time, the film was one in which the duo performed more as individuals rather than as a team. This imposing six-sheet has had only minimal restoration to address pinpoint crossfold separations. It is mounted on linen, trimmed to the edges. A wonderful collectible featuring one of the all-time great comedy teams. Very Fine+ on Linen.

Look Who's Laughing (RKO, 1941). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
In the days when radio was king, Fibber McGee and Molly, Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy, and Lucille Ball were some of its biggest stars. They're all featured on this great poster, from a movie made at the height of their popularity. This glorious three sheet had pinholes in the corners, fold wear with crossfold separation and small tears, some tearing under the title area, and a scuff in the top horizontal fold. Professional restoration has expertly addressed all of these issues; we note, however, that there is some staining in the bottom border that presumably occurred after restoration was performed. Nevertheless, this is a wonderful poster that will make a great display piece for any fan of old time radio. Fine+ on Linen.

Laurel and Hardy Stock Poster (Hal Roach, 1947). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy began working together in 1926 in a series of short films for Hal Roach. As they gained popularity, the pair starred in many full length features throughout the 1930s and 1940s. One of the most successful and beloved comedic duos, they may have portrayed dim-witted bums, but their characterizations never lost their optimism, and their slapstick routines are cinematic magic. This one sheet was produced as a stock poster for use in theaters replaying their classic (and very popular) films.

There was also a paper loss at the center horizontal fold, and in the top and bottom borders, all of which have been expertly restored.

Double Wedding (MGM, 1937). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style D.

Filming was suspended to allow Powell time to recover, and though the death put a pall over the production, the result was a very successful comedy that audiences loved. This richly colored stone litho had pinholes, fold wear, crossfold separation, very small chips in the left and top borders, and a small chip in the bottom left corner, all professionally restored to produce a truly beautiful one sheet. Very Fine- on Linen.

Thou Shalt Not (Fox, 1919). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
This classic one sheet features Evelyn Nesbit, the young woman pictured on the left side of the image. An artist's model and chorus girl - she was reportedly the model for artist Charles Dana Gibson's famous "Gibson Girl" - Nesbit gained national attention in 1906, when she found herself at the center of "the trial of the century." Married to wealthy socialite Harry Kendall Thaw, a known cocaine addict with an unstable personality, Nesbit was with her husband when they encountered her former lover, renowned architect Sanford White. In a fit of jealousy, Thaw pulled a gun and fired three shots into White's face, killing him instantly. The resulting trial was a circus of scandal and innuendo. In the years following, Nesbit pursued a career on stage and screen with moderate success. In 1955, she served as a technical advisor for the film, The Girl on the Red Velvet Swing, a movie based on her life. From one of her later films, this half sheet has edge wear with small tears, smudges and stains in the borders, a tear in the right border, a top right corner bend, and a chip in the lower left. The image area, however, is in very nice condition. Not only a great piece of movie memorabilia, this is also a classic piece of Americana, spotlighting one of the most notorious figures of the early twentieth century. Rolled, Very Good.

Her Greatest Love (Fox, 1917). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
By the time this film was made, Theda Bara was attempting to break out of the femme fatale persona she had so carefully cultivated in such earlier pictures as A Fool There Was (1915), Carmen (1915), and Cleopatra (1917).

Never folded, it is a great piece from a sadly lost film. Rolled, Very Fine.

Mildred Pierce (Warner Brothers, 1945). One Sheet (27" X 41").

Fredric March and Janet Gaynor earned Best Actor/Actress Academy Award nominations, and William Wellman earned a nomination for Best Director, and won the Oscar, with Robert Carson, for Best Original Story. This colorful one sheet had pinholes and small chips in the corners, fold wear, a chip on the top border and a smaller one on the bottom border, and paper losses in the center, but these have all been expertly repaired in the restoration process to produce a beautiful display piece. Very Good/Fine on Linen.

Diamond Horseshoe (20th Century Fox, 1945). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
This musical blockbuster is set among the lives of the showgirls and performers of the Diamond Horseshoe nightclub, whose name is borrowed from Billy Rose's legendary Las Vegas casino. A showcase for Betty Grable, one of the top stars of the 1940s, this film also features crooner Dick Haymes as Grable's love interest. The poster had a tear with a chip at the top vertical fold, fold wear, crossfold separations, and a crease in the top right corner. There were tape lifts with tears in the borders and the right border was trimmed in the bottom panel. Restoration has addressed some of these issues, and the image of leggy Grable is sumptuous.

Platinum Blonde (Columbia, 1931). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Twenty-year-old Jean Harlow was on her way to stardom as the title character of this witty and thoroughly enjoyable romp directed by Frank Capra. Robert Williams plays newsman Stew Smith who falls for society girl Harlow who marries him as an experiment to see if she can turn the poor slob into a gentleman. What she doesn't count on is his abhorrence of being a bird in a gilded cage and his growing affection for his Girl Friday, played by an ethereal Loretta Young. Williams is an amazing comedic force in this picture which would be the last of his too few films, as he died at age thirty-four, a month after its release. This restored lobby card had pinholes in the corners, a corner chip in the top right, and a scratch in the right side of the image. It is a stunning and colorful card with the blonde bombshell herself center stage. Fine/Very Fine.

The Loves of Carmen (Columbia, 1948). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Rita Hayworth is at her tempestuous best as a fiery gypsy who first seduces a young military officer (Glenn Ford), then callously dumps him for another man. The film teamed Hayworth with co-star (Ford) and director Charles Vidor from Gilda, the movie that skyrocketed Hayworth to stardom. This was a family affair of sorts for Hayworth, whose father, Eduardo Casino, was the associate choreographer, her uncle Jose Casino performed as a flamenco dancer in the film, and her brother appeared as a soldier. This one sheet, with a dazzling illustration of the radiant Hayworth, had only very slight restoration to address fold wear. An absolute beauty! Very Fine+ on Linen.

Blood and Sand (20th Century Fox, 1941). Insert (14" X 36").
This thrilling movie, a remake of the silent classic that starred Rudolph Valentino, is the story of an ambitious young bullfighter (Tyrone Power) who comes under the spell of the dangerous and seductive Dona Sol (Rita Hayworth), with tragic consequences. Prior to this film, Hayworth was primarily known as a song and dance star. It was this picture, as well as such classics as Gilda (1946) and The Lady from Shanghai (1947), that transformed her into a sexy femme fatale. The lovely insert offered here shows fold wear, and foxing in the left edge. These slight flaws fade to insignificance, however, when one admires the overwhelming beauty of this classic insert. Folded, Very Fine.

The scene card features Ethel Waters, Paul Robeson, and Eddie "Rochester" Anderson. An interesting sidelight is that W. C. Fields also filmed a sequence for this film, but it was cut for the final release. Both cards have tape on the back, corner bumps, and light smudging. The title card has a corner crease and a tiny tear on the bottom border. Very Fine-.

Mary of Scotland (RKO, 1936). Window Card (14" X 22").
Katharine Hepburn gives a powerful performance as the ill-fated queen in this John Ford directed, highly acclaimed historical drama. The characters are portrayed a little more nobly than what they were in reality so the audience is sympathetic to the strong-willed Queen, as a victim of events, rather than the perpetrator, but this classic is a joy to watch. Fredric March is Mary's husband, Bothwell, and Queen Elizabeth is played by Florence Eldrige, March's real wife of 50 years. This window card has small stains, small tears on the top and left edges, corner chips in the top right and lower left, and creases in the corners and some in the image. A stunning image of March and Hepburn at the height of their careers, this card has beautiful color. Fine.

Golden Age (1938-1955)
She Loves Me Not (Paramount, 1934). Poster (41.5" X 35").
Any film predicated on disguising the lovely Miriam Hopkins as a boy isn't going to win any points for realism, but it's all in good fun, with Bing Crosby in his first "ears out" role as a college student who tries to hide Hopkins after she witnesses a gangland killing. Bing and Kitty Carlisle (as the dean's daughter) croon "Love in Bloom," a song later associated with Jack Benny. Offered here is an extremely rare poster, printed only for distribution in the New York area and used for outdoor advertising. As far as we know, this is the only surviving example of this rare poster size for this film, it having been saved by the original artist and passed down to his family. The artwork was done by Harold Seroy, who started at the art department of Warner Brothers in 1930, but went on to work for all the major studios until retiring in 1960. Although fairly unknown today, he designed the posters for such films as The Barefoot Contessa with Ava Gardner and Gilda with Rita Hayworth. The borders were trimmed on all sides, and there were small holes and tears throughout the field, with a very large tear in the center, but these have been addressed with professional restoration, which includes airbrushing in the title/credits area. Good on Linen.

Easter Parade (MGM, 1948). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style D.

The poster has fold separations, a tape lift to reverse of the lower right corner, top left and top right corners have small chips, and a small hole in the left border. Fine+ on Linen.

Underworld (Paramount, 1927). Glass Slide (4" X 3.5") and Herald (9" X 6") and The Drag Net (Paramount, 1928). Glass Slide (4" X 3.5").
Largely considered to be the first modern American gangster film, predating such genre classics as The Public Enemy (1931) and Little Caesar (1931), this was an enormously influential picture. Starring George Bancroft as Bull Weed, a brutal crime boss who is ultimately laid low by his own weakness, this landmark film is here represented by a glass slide, which shows a pinpoint area of color loss on the right side that does not affect the image, and a herald, that has some degree of edge wear. Also included in this lot is a glass slide for the movie The Drag Net, another crime drama starring George Bancroft, which displays some scratches by the Paramount logo. All in all, this lot is perfect for any collector of gangster film memorabilia. Very Fine-.

They Drive by Night (Warner Brothers, 1940). Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style A.
Ida Lupino was so good when she was bad, and she is delightfully wicked as Lana Carlsen, a socialite in love with ambitious truck driver George Raft, but married to his boss Ed (Alan Hale). Raft has top billing here with Humphrey Bogart assigned a smaller part, but that would all change as Bogart's career skyrockets in the following year with The Maltese Falcon and High Sierra, in two roles Raft turned down. Ann Sheridan is wonderful as the wise-cracking sweetheart, and the great Raoul Walsh directs this top notch film. Prior to professional restoration this half sheet had fold wear with small chips in the vertical fold, a 4" horizontal tear in the left side, top center creases, small chips and tears in the borders, and a chip in the top left corner. There are slight cracks in the top border that occurred after restoration. This is a real beauty from a major Warner Brothers drama. Fine- on Paper.

This insert has been folded, has some edge wear, a pinhole in the top and bottom border, and another in the artwork by the woman's hand, a 2" tear in the upper border that extends into the artwork, and a small tear in the bottom border.

The Killers (Universal, 1946). Insert (14" X 36").
This loose adaptation of the Ernest Hemingway short story made stars of Burt Lancaster, who was making his screen debut, and Ava Gardner, who, though she had made several unremarkable films, had not previously had a memorable role. Though he had been approached several times before, this was the first of his works Hemingway allowed to be adapted for the screen, thanks to his friendship with producer Mark Hellinger. Gardner was later to star in two more films (The Sun Also Rises and The Snows of Kilimanjaro) adapted from Hemingway, but The Killers was reportedly Hemingway's favorite of all the films his work inspired. This insert had pinholes in the corners, small tears in the left and right borders, and fold wear with some evidence of tape. All of these problems have been expertly addressed in professional restoration to produce a striking, highly collectible piece. Fine+ on Linen.

Street Scene (United Artists, 1931). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
This was an experimental pre-Code drama, adapted from the Pulitzer Prize winning play, and shot on a single city block in New York City. All action (except one brief scene in a taxi) takes place in front of a brownstone from one evening into the next day. It is considered one of the finest-ever translations from the stage to the screen. The teeming tenements of the lower East Side come to life thanks to the innovative direction of King Vidor who complemented the stark set with brilliant cinematography. Vidor, who had a long career in Hollywood, was later to receive acclaim, but no on-screen credit, for directing the Kansas scenes (including "Over the Rainbow") in The Wizard of Oz. Street Scene features an Alfred Newman score with a theme that has since been used in a number of other films including Where the Sidewalk Ends and How to Marry a Millionaire. The half sheet had a large piece missing in the center, edge tears, fold tears, creases, pinholes in the field, and small chips, tears, and pinholes in the corners. Thanks to meticulous professional restoration these flaws are virtually undetectable by even the most discriminating eye. This poster will display beautifully and enhance any early talkie collection. Very Good on Paper.

The Power and the Glory (Fox, 1933). Two Sheet (41" X 54").
Spencer Tracy turns in a performance that was called "one of the fullest characterizations ever achieved on screen" as Tom Garner, a man who works his way to the top before taking his own life. Offered here is an extremely rare two sheet poster, printed only for distribution in the New York area and used for outdoor advertising. As far as we know, this is the only surviving example of this rare poster size for this film, it having been saved by the original artist and passed down to his family. The artwork was done by Harold Seroy, who started at the art department of Warner Brothers in 1930, but went on to work for all the major studios until retiring in 1960. Although fairly unknown today, he designed the posters for such films as The Barefoot Contessa with Ava Gardner and Gilda with Rita Hayworth. This larger size poster has a red overprint smear and displayed fold wear and cross fold separation with small chips as well as edge wear that has been expertly addressed. The result is a striking image of one of Hollywood's legends. Very Fine-

For Whom the Bell Tolls (Paramount, 1943). Australian Daybill (10" X 29.75").
Ernest Hemingway personally selected Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman for the lead roles in the adaptation of his best-seller -- in fact, he had imagined Cooper in the part when he was writing the book. Hemingway ended up unhappy with the film because of the removal of all political aspects, but it was the highest grossing film of 1943. This war-time Australian poster features wonderful stone litho art. It has very light foxing and smudging on two borders as its only defects. Very Fine+.

Errol Flynn, Basil Rathbone, and David Niven star in this remake of the earlier (1930) version directed by Howard Hawks, and their dashing good looks are captured on this beautiful card. Though Howard Hughes sued the producers of the film, claiming it was lifted from his Academy Award-winning Wings, he lost in court as it was shown that the 1938 Dawn Patrol was truly a remake of the earlier film by the same name, and the screenplay pre-dated Hughes's effort. A bright, immaculate lobby card on original linen stock that maintains its true color, without the slightest sign of fading. This is easily one of the best cards we've ever seen from this classic film. Only very minor corner bumps mar this otherwise flawless card. A true gem! Very Fine/Near Mint.

The film incorporated authentic combat footage, including some captured from the Luftwaffe, and won acclaim from bomber pilots who praised its authenticity. The insert, which features a great photo of a determined Peck, has been folded, has smudging in the top border, a small tear in one letter of the title, a very small tear at the top, and fold wear. Very Fine-.

Attack! (United Artists, 1956). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style B.
Director Robert Aldrich set out not to glorify war but to examine its effects on normal men thrown into abnormal situations when he took on the making of Attack! What he did was make a war movie without the traditional heroes usually found in such films, one that showed how war drove men to perform feats both good and bad that they would not normally have been capable of doing. A solid cast including Jack Palance, Eddie Albert, Lee Marvin, and Richard Jaeckel turn in powerful performances in a notable effort that holds up well with Aldrich's many other fine films. This dramatic one sheet captures the intensity of the film with its stark use of black and red. Light stains on the top left corner, slight corner bumps, two light extra vertical creases, and a minor cross fold separation at the top horizontal fold are the only small flaws in this lustrous piece. Very Fine+.

Across the Pacific (Warner Brothers, 1942). Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style B.
Although originally set in Hawaii, with Japanese saboteurs planning to attack Pearl Harbor, Warner changed the location to the Panama Canal after the real attack on Pearl Harbor.

John Huston directed this thriller right before he went off to the war; Bogart went on to perfect his cynical image in his next epic, Casablanca. This half sheet has staple holes in each corner, light edge wear, smudges to the lower half, light creases from having been rolled, and a small chip off the lower left corner. Folded, Fine+.

This Above All (20th Century Fox, 1942). Insert (14" X 36").
Nominated for four Oscars, and winner for Best Art Direction, this beautiful film, directed by Anatole Litvak, stars Joan Fontaine as Prudence Cathaway, an aristocrat who joins the WAF during WWII.

In the borders there are pinholes, two tape stains, two small tears, a surface abrasion, and a small chip. There are also wrinkles in the top of the image, corner bumps and creases, and minor scratches in the title. The striking image is not affected by these issues and this will be a hit with all collectors. Folded, Fine/Very Fine.

The Raider Emden (Columbia, 1928). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Films about war and the code of honor used during combat provided lots of ideas for film-makers. This silent film was imported from Germany by Columbia and was sympathetic to the German point of view during World War I. The film revolved around the exploits of a famous German destroyer and it's final battle against the Sydney. The poster exhibits very minor airbrushing in the borders and light color touch to the fold lines and cross fold tears along the center horizontal line. Very Fine+ on Linen.

The Last Command (Paramount, 1928). Swedish One Sheet (27.5" X 39.5").
In this stirring drama, Emil Jannings plays Grand Duke Sergius Alexander, an aristocrat reduced to poverty during the Russian Revolution. Relocating to Hollywood and earning a scant living as a movie extra, he encounters old enemy Leo Andreyev (William Powell) who is now a successful film director. Andreyev hires Alexander to recreate his downfall in the revolution, a decision that results in a staggering emotional climax. This incredible film captured a Best Actor Oscar for Jannings.

With an all-star cast that includes Walter Huston, Robert Montgomery, Robert Young, and Madge Evans, this excellent WWI submarine drama is based on the novel by Commander Edward Ellsberg entitled Pigboats.

This light-hearted Western stars Gene Autry, Smiley Burnette, Walter Shrum and his Colorado Hillbillies, and The Stafford Sisters.

Dodge City (Warner Brothers, 1940s). Japanese B2 (20" X 29").
This picture is often credited with revitalizing and transforming the Western film from a moribund collection of simple shoot-'em-ups to a big budget, respectable cinematic genre. Errol Flynn plays cattleman Wade Hatton who becomes the Sheriff of Dodge City in order to free its citizens from the ruthless grip of saloon-owner and former cattle rustler Jeff Surrett (Bruce Cabot). An early Technicolor picture, the success of this film ensured Flynn's presence in future Westerns. The Japanese poster offered here was the first post-WWII release for this film. It has corner creases in the top left and right, small chips in the bottom left corner, staple holes in the edges, a small stain in the top left, a tear in the right border, and a chip in the left side. These are minor considerations, however, that do nothing to detract from the overwhelming eye-appeal of this exceptional poster. Fine.

Jesse James (Mesco, 1921). Three Sheet (41" X 81") and Poster (10.5" x 28").
Believed to be a poster produced for the film starring the son of the real-life outlaw, Jesse James. The story is the familiar "society made me a criminal," told in flashback by Jesse James, whose daughter is about to marry the son of a millionaire. This film and a sequel were produced and exhibited outside the normal Hollywood circles. Little is known about the film and we are speculating as to which film the poster was used for. Included with the poster is a broadside which depicts the poster on it showing a 1930 Triumphal Tour. Most likely the broadside was used for a reissue of the film in 1930. The poster is printed in two pieces and has vibrant stone lithography. The poster has tears at the edges and in the field, fold separations with paper loss, and fold wear; the smaller poster has tanning along the borders and crossfold, edge tears, chips along the edges, and small holes in the field. Fine.

Thunder Mountain (Fox, 1935). One Sheet (27" X 41").
A veteran of both WWI and WWII, George O'Brien starred in many silents, including the powerful and important Sunrise in 1927. He got his start in Westerns when John Ford chose him for the 1924 hit The Iron Horse. Nicknamed "the Chest" for his muscular build, O'Brien was one of the highest paid Western stars of his era. He stars in this Zane Grey classic with Barbara Fritchie and George "Gabby" Hayes. This stunning stone litho one sheet has pinholes, light wrinkling, two stains in the right border with one going into the title, and pinpoint crossfold separations. A real gem, the colors on this poster are extremely vivid. Fine/Very Fine.

Billy the Kid (MGM, 1941). Insert (14" X 36").
Rushed into production to beat Howard Hughes' The Outlaw (which ironically was delayed for two years) to theaters, MGM cast Robert Taylor in the title role in an effort to shed his pretty boy image and prove his masculinity. Billy the Kid survived a change of directors midstream (from two-time Academy Award Winner Frank Borzage to David Miller) and a change of leading lady (from Maureen O'Sullivan to Mary Howard) before being released in mid-1941. This piece was folded, has a 2" tear with evidence of taping at the bottom, a small rust stain in the left border, a bottom right corner bend, and light extra horizontal creasing, but displays very well. Very Fine.

John Wayne Stock Poster (Luxor Films, 1940s). Belgian (11.5" X 16.5").
Due to post-war paper shortages, this striking John Wayne stock poster is printed on the back of an earlier, pre-war poster, most likely for the Anna Neagle vehicle, The Little Damozel (1933). The image of Wayne, "the famous cowboy," is superb. The poster itself shows a small tear in the bottom border, overall tanning, some chipping in the corners and borders, and a few minor edge tears, but the central image is clean and attractive. Any true fan of The Duke will want to bid on this one. Fine+.

John Wayne and Claire Trevor star in this Civil War drama based on the thinly disguised exploits of renegade Confederate guerrilla William Quantrill, here called Cantrell, and played by Walter Pidgeon.

Peeping Tom (Anglo Amalgamated, 1960). British One Sheet (27" X 40").
Michael Powell's film about violence and voyeurism still remains extremely controversial, some claim it to be sick and perverse while others claim it to be a masterpiece.

This provocative one sheet had minor fold wear but has been expertly restored with the linen trimmed to the borders of the poster. Very Fine on Linen.

Blood Of Dracula (American International, 1957). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Sandra Harrison stars as an innocent student who falls under the spell of an evil chemistry teacher (Louise Lewis), who hypnotizes the poor girl, turning her into a vampiric creature that commits murder before waking with no memory of the killing. The art for this poster is a bit more blood-splattered than we recall the film being, but it makes for a fantastic, striking image. This amazingly fresh flat-folded example has a slight bit of fold wear in the top horizontal fold, and light edge wear at bottom left, but is otherwise in like-new condition. From the personal collection of Samuel Z. Arkoff. Very Fine/Near Mint.

How to Make a Monster (American International, 1958). One Sheet (27" X 41").
One of AIP's more successful films, How to Make a Monster allowed the studio to roll out an array of old favorites. As the story goes, the studio has decided to drop the monster movies that have been its bread and butter "for 25 years" and make musicals instead, throwing a long-time make-up artist out of work. Reacting in typical American International-crazed form, the former employee decides to create his own real monsters to wreak havoc. Gary Clarke plays the "Teenage Werewolf," while Gary Conway is the "Teenage Frankenstein," reprising the role he played in 1957's I Was a Teenage Frankenstein. This eye-catching one sheet has pinholes in the borders and small paper loss at the top left border. The bottom was folded. This is an extremely clean and attractive poster and a prime example of 1950s horror. Very Fine.

The Monster of Piedras Blancas (Film Service Distributing, 1959). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Like most monsters of the 1950s, this creature comes ashore near an old lighthouse looking for hot food and hot women! That he finds both should surprise no one. If the monster here looks suspiciously like the Creature from the Black Lagoon, it's because Creature-creator Jack Kevan supervised the special effects in this picture as well. This wonderful scene card, with a great shot of the monster, has paper tape at two edges on the reverse, creasing in the bottom border, and bumps in the top corners, but is otherwise clean and appealing. Don't let this one get away from you! Very Fine.

13 Ghosts (Columbia, 1960). One Sheets (2) (27" X 41").
When Dr. Zorba wills a haunted house to his unsuspecting relatives, he also leaves behind a set of special glasses through which the ghosts that haunt his estate can be viewed. As with most William Castle directed films, the audience gets to participate in the spooky fun, and "ghost viewers" were used to see the 3-D special effects. Offered here are two styles of the one sheet. The "Ghost Viewer" style has pinholes in the corners, edge wear in two borders, and yes, ghosting in the top portion, how appropriate. The regular one sheet has enlarged pinholes in the corners, a top left corner bend, a tear at the top of the vertical fold, edge wear with light stains, and wrinkles at the bottom. These creepy and fun posters are a real treat! Very Fine-.

A landmark film in the genre of modern horror, this was one of the first "slasher" films that would set the style for the 1980s and beyond.

The Black Room (Columbia, 1935). Herald (9" X 11.5").
Boris Karloff stars in this thriller, portraying twin brothers cursed by a family legend that the younger of two twins will kill the older twin.

Bride of the Monster (Filmmakers Releasing, 1956). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
One of the classic films from the mind of director Edward D. Wood Jr., this is the story of the evil Dr. Eric Varnoff (Bela Lugosi), who kidnaps a brace of strapping young men in order to turn them into supermen via the application of atomic radiation. Unfortunately, Varnoff's plans come to naught, and he meets his end in the arms of a rubber octopus (previously seen in the John Wayne classic, Wake of the Red Witch).

The Lower Depths (Toho, 1957). Japanese B4 (10.25" X 28.25").
Adapted from a play by Maxim Gorky, director Akira Kurosawa transplanted Gorky's Imperial Russian setting to that of Edo-period Japan, spotlighting a story about a shady gambler (Toshiro Mifune) who is framed for murder by a jealous landlady (Isuzu Yamada). Regarded as one of Kurosawa's greatest ensemble films, the picture also features such regular Kurosawa players as Minoru Chiaki, Kamatari Fujiwara, and Akemi Megishi. The unusual and highly attractive Japanese Speed poster offered here pictures all the characters on the front, and promotional information in Japanese, along with some portrait photos on the reverse. Original country-of-origin paper from Kurosawa's films, especially from this incredibly prolific period, can be extremely difficult to find. Don't miss this opportunity to add this gem to your collection. Very Fine.

Gaumont British Exhibitor Book (Gaumont British, 1936-37). Exhibitor Book (10" X 12") (Multiple Pages).
This fantastic exhibitor book is from the heyday of Gaumont British Studios, which had become independent of its French parent company in 1922. The book is full of color illustrations from such films as The Hawk with Constance Bennett, and King Solomon's Mines. Two interesting pages are from an Alfred Hitchcock film entitled The Hidden Power originally set to star Robert Donat and Sylvia Sydney. The title was later changed to Sabotage, and Hitchcock ultimately selected John Loder as the lead, as he was unable to get Donat due to the actor's health problems. There is chipping on the cover, which is wrapped in plastic, and the title page is loose, but this is still an important piece of cinema history, a real treasure for any film fan. Fine+.

RKO Exhibitor Book (RKO, 1931-32). Exhibitor Book (11" x 14")
This is, without a doubt, one of the most attractive exhibitor's books we've ever come across, featuring full-page, full-color paintings by such artists as Frederic C. Madan, Armando Seguso, Russell Patterson, and Frank Bensing, promoting upcoming films for the years 1931 and 1932, including Bird of Paradise and The Dove, both with Dolores del Rio, Marcheta, featuring Richard Dix and Irene Dunne, The Woman Between, with Lily Damita, Symphony of Six Million, Miracle City, Glamour, Every Girl, Exposed, Love Affair, The Slander Girl, three new comedies by the team of Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey, and more. Of course, some of these films would never be made, and some would undergo changes of title or cast, but the book itself is a beautiful artifact from a truly glamorous time in Hollywood history. Also featured are full page portraits of such lovely stars as Hope Williams, Ina Claire, Irene Dunne, Lily Damita, and more. One look at these marvelous vintage illustrations, and you'll find yourself spellbound by their classic beauty. The book itself has survived the intervening decades nicely, with only some slight edge wear, light spine wear, and a bit of wear on the first page, to show its age. This exquisite book will certainly be the centerpiece of any vintage Hollywood collection. Very Fine.
