20 Million Miles to Earth (Columbia, 1957). Poster (40" X 60").
Obviously feeling that New York and Tokyo had seen more than their fair share of destruction by giant monsters, the makers of this classic sci-fi film decided to make Rome the epicenter of disaster, when a mysterious spaceship lands outside of Sicily, bearing a strange passenger. The initially-diminutive creature, dubbed Ymir, soon grows to gigantic size, and goes on a rampage that leads to the famed Colosseum and a fiery climax. Bringing Ymir to life is special effects genius Ray Harryhausen, in one of his earliest genre efforts. This impressive poster shows some slight surface paper loss in the Ymir's shoulder, some cellophane tape on the reverse, a tear in the bottom border that extends into the image area, some staining in the right border, two holes punched in the top border with slight tearing, edge tearing with some paper loss, and creasing in the borders and image area. These slight flaws not withstanding, this is a wonderful, and no doubt rare, poster that will certainly enhance any advanced sci-fi collection. Rolled, Very Good.

The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (Warner Brothers, 1953). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Based on a story by Ray Bradbury, this special effects spectacular, featuring the brilliant stop-motion animation of the great Ray Harryhausen, was the first picture to depict a giant creature awakened by an atomic explosion. The film was so popular, both at home and abroad, that it served as one of the inspirations for Toho Studios' Gojira (1954), better known in the West as Godzilla. The gorgeous one sheet offered here had minor fold wear, a small piece missing in the left border, and a tear in the bottom border, but expert professional restoration has fully addressed these minor issues. The colors are vibrant on this great science fiction one sheet! Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

The poster had edge wear with border tears, fold wear, chips and creases in the borders, and a missing top left corner, most of which has been addressed with restoration. Fine/Very Fine on Paper.

Giant ants invade the New Mexico desert, and only James Arness can save the day!

Tarantula (Universal International, 1955). One Sheet (27" X 41").
In the 1950s, nobody did science fiction cinema better than the great Jack Arnold, whose impressive resume boasts such titles as The Creature from the Black Lagoon, It Came from Outer Space, and the giant-bug favorite, Tarantula. Nuclear energy was causing havoc back then, and mutating a simple spider into a creepy countryside-crawling creature was just one of them. This spectacular one sheet with fabulous Reynold Brown art, shows the leggy menace bearing down on romantic leads John Agar and Mara Corday. The poster had fold wear and minor crossfold separations with small holes in the crossfolds, a tear below the center horizontal fold, and a tear in the body of the woman in the spider's mouth, all of which has been addressed with fine professional restoration. The poster boasts vivid colors, and a sharp overall appearance. Fine+ on Linen.

This fantastic and colorful poster is from the American release -- which was reworked to include scenes with Raymond Burr -- and is one of the best images from any monster film out there. It has only fold wear with a separation at the bottom. A stunning item which will be the envy of every sci-fi fan, this is the king of monster posters. Fine/Very Fine.

Godzilla (Toho, 1954). Japanese Speed (10" X 29").
Much has been written about the metaphorical nature of this landmark film. More than a simple giant monster movie, Gojira - better known as Godzilla to Western audiences - embodies the devastating reality of Japan's experience with the atomic bomb at the end of, and after, World War II. Conceived by producer Tomoyuki Tanaka and brought to life by special effects genius Eiji Tsubaraya, the dark and thoughtful film - that conflated not only the terror of the atomic bomb blast over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but also the more recent experience of the hydrogen bomb test over the Bikini Atoll and the resulting fallout that unexpectedly impacted the country - was realized on the screen by director Ishiro Honda, who had been held as a prisoner of war in China before the Japanese surrender, and whose return home through the ruins of Hiroshima had a lasting impact on him. This special-effects heavy film enjoyed a massive budget - twice that given to Akira Kurosawa's Shichinin no samurai (The Seven Samurai), made in the same year by the same studio - a gamble that could have ruined Toho had the film failed at the box office. Fortunately, the picture was an international sensation, paving the way for more than two dozen sequels, making it one of the most successful franchises in movie history. Original Japanese paper from this highly important movie is very scarce and highly desirable; the "Speed" version offered here has been particularly elusive. This copy is in superb condition, with only some light fold wear keeping it from an even higher grade. This is a wonderful piece, with a fabulous image of the King of the Monsters, one you won't want to pass up, as another may not come your way for quite some time. Very Fine+.
Much has been written about the metaphorical nature of this landmark film. More than a simple giant monster movie, Gojira - better known as Godzilla to Western audiences - embodies the devastating reality of Japan's experience with the atomic bomb at the end of, and after, World War II. Conceived by producer Tomoyuki Tanaka and brought to life by special effects genius Eiji Tsubaraya, the dark and thoughtful film - that conflated not only the terror of the atomic bomb blast over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but also the more recent experience of the hydrogen bomb test over the Bikini Atoll and the resulting fallout that unexpectedly impacted the country - was realized on the screen by director Ishiro Honda, who had been held as a prisoner of war in China before the Japanese surrender, and whose return home through the ruins of Hiroshima had a lasting impact on him.

Godzilla's Counterattack (U.S.Title Gigantis the Fire Monster ) (Toho, 1955). Japanese B0 (40" X 58").
In the wake of the enormous success of Gojira (1954, released in the U.S. in 1956 as Godzilla, King of the Monsters), Toho studios immediately set about producing this sequel. This time, Gojira comes ashore near Osaka, where he battles another giant monster, Anguiras. Where the first film was an eloquent metaphor for the atomic bombing the Japanese suffered at the end of World War II, this more subtle, more heartfelt film pays tribute to the Japanese spirit, recognizing the populace's courage in facing tragedy, and rebuilding in the face of utter devastation, embodied here by the employees of a small tuna fishery. Unfortunately, when the film was dubbed - with George Takei, Star Trek's Mr. Sulu, providing one of the voices - and recut for Western audiences (released here in America as Gigantis the Fire Monster in 1959), much of this message was lost, resulting in a film that even the most ardent dai kaiju-philes find disappointing. Be that as it may, the original film, represented here by this breathtaking, and extremely rare, poster, is a finely-crafted picture that imparts a strong and important message. The B0 format - basically made up of two B1's - was only used to promote important releases, and thus is one of the toughest formats to find for Japanese films. This wonderful country-of-origin example, with a great image of both Gojira and Anguiras, has some light edge wear, a corner bend in the bottom left, and some very light creasing at the top, but is otherwise in superb condition. Original paper from these early Gojira films is highly sought by collectors worldwide; this may very well be one of the very rarest of them all. If only the rarest of the rare is good enough for you, this poster deserves your utmost consideration. Very Fine-.

The Incredible Shrinking Man (Universal International, 1957). One Sheet (27" X 41").
"To God there is no zero. I still exist!" This is the final declaration spoken by atom-sized Scott Carey (Grant Williams) in this top notch sci-fi thriller which poignantly reflects humanity's search for the meaning of existence. Full of significant themes, it also entertains and thrills with excellent special effects including Carey's life-or-death battles with a (to him) giant cat and spider. Adapted by noted sci-fi author Richard Matheson from his own novel, this is one of the best of the genre. The poster has been professionally restored to address four small missing corners, and a horizontal scratch across the title. With dramatic artwork by Reynold Brown, this is a prize piece. Fine+ on Linen.

Attack of the 50 Foot Woman (Allied Artists, 1958). Poster (40" X 60").
Here's a really big poster for all you fans of this really big movie! When Nancy Archer (Allison Hayes) finds the remains of a crashed flying saucer - bearing a thirty-foot alien - she is inadvertently exposed to radiation, which causes her to grow to an enormous size. Of course, this makes it all the easier for her to give her philandering husband (William Hudson) all that he has coming to him. The impressive poster offered here, sporting artwork by Reynold Brown, shows some edge wear with small tears, staining in the lower right and in the credits, small holes in the image area, overall surface creasing, a small chip in the bottom right, and a larger chip in the top left. Nevertheless, this is an extremely attractive - and very rare - poster, made even more appealing by its large size. You know you want this poster in a big way, so bid high today! Rolled, Very Good/Fine.

The Wasp Woman (Film Group, 1959). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
With artwork that is some of the most sought after of the science fiction genre, this terrific poster is always a hot item. In this chilling cult favorite directed by Roger Corman, Susan Cabot is transformed from a beautiful cosmetic executive into a half human/half wasp carnivore. With most horror/sci-fi imagery showing a creature gripping a scantily clad woman, the roles are reversed in this case, with Cabot's victim a shirtless man. The poster has extra creases at the top, a minor dust shadow in the bottom right corner, and foxing at the top border. Folded, Very Fine-.

Attack of the Crab Monsters (Allied Artists, 1957). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Scientists -- including "Professor" Russell Johnson -- land on a remote island to investigate the disappearance of the previous team, who were sent to the island to observe U.S. hydrogen bomb tests. This being a Roger Corman flick, it's no surprise that radiation has turned some land crabs into giant monsters (well, one of them anyway). This spectacular one sheet has the classic monster/damsel paradigm. There was fold wear, pinholes in the corners, a small chip out of the title area, and another chip in the right side, all of which have been addressed with superb professional restoration. This is one of the best and campiest posters of the 1950s science fiction genre. Fine+ on Linen.

Attack of the Crab Monsters (Allied Artists, 1957). Poster (40" X 60").
Originally released on a double bill with Not of this Earth, Roger Corman's Crab Monsters is one of his more memorably mad monster mashes, what with a big-ified crustacean who talks in a booming, refined voice, and the presence of Russell "the Professor" Johnson. This one is truly the champ of camp! This rare 40" X 60" has overall wear, including staining, soiling, creasing, and multiple tears, but still catches the eye with its wonky imagery. Rolled, Good/Very Good.

The Blob (Paramount, 1958). Italian 4 - Folio (55" X 78").
Steve McQueen (credited here as Steven, the last time that would occur) starred in this sci-fi/horror film from 1958, in which a strange gelatinous lifeform from another planet lands in a small town, and proceeds to wreak havoc while continuously growing. At the time McQueen was offered either $2500 or 10% of the profit, and opted for the $2500 thinking the film wasn't going to be successful - end result, the movie grossed over $4 million. This Italian poster contains breathtaking art by Sandro Simeoni, far more colorful and striking than the other versions out there, and is quite a sight to behold. Prior to the excellent restoration, there were pinholes in the corners and bottom, a chip on the left border, and ink date stamps in the upper right. Very Fine- on Linen.

The Time Machine (MGM, 1960). Poster (40" X 60").
For many fans, the name George Pal is synonymous with Hollywood science fiction. Pal's colorful, wildly imaginative interpretations of the works of H. G. Wells have become classics in their own right, and have probably inspired almost as many people as the original novels themselves. The Time Machine stars Rod Taylor as H. George Wells, who travels to the distant future to discover a world where humanity has divided into two distinct castes: the gentle Eloi and the brutal Morlocks. They say size isn't everything, but this big 40" X 60" poster lends an impressive scale to the awesome Reynold Brown artwork, making this one of the most striking sheets for this title. Some edge wear and light overall creasing in the image area are the only condition issues to note. Very Fine on Linen.

The Day the Earth Stood Still (20th Century Fox, 1951). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
Robert Wise ushered the science fiction genre into the mainstream cinema with this thoughtful thriller about an alien who visits Earth with a special message for mankind. Although his message was peaceful, this poster would have audiences thinking otherwise. This poster is truly striking and has had only minor work done to the center vertical fold line and to the right side of the "ray" from Gort. The restoration work is first rate and can only be seen upon very close inspection, making this one of the best copies of this iconic poster we have ever seen. There's just something special about a large scale poster with one of the greatest robots ever to appear on screen, making this three sheet a highly sought-after item among sci-fi collectors. Very Fine on Linen.

Forbidden Planet (MGM, 1956). One Sheet (27" X 41").
The power of the mind is explored in this classic SF thriller -- based loosely on Shakespeare's The Tempest -- in which creatures from the Id attack a party of spacemen who've come to check up on a reclusive scientist and his daughter. Forbidden Planet was influential on a wide variety of media, and particularly on the subsequent Star Trek TV series, which cribbed a lot of details from the film. This unmounted, unrestored one sheet has exceptional color and clarity, with the only minor condition issues being light fold wear with crossfold separations, small tears at the borders, and a minor extra fold line. One of the all-time great science fiction movie posters. Very Fine.

Forbidden Planet (MGM, 1956). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Loosely based on Shakespeare's The Tempest, this all-time classic science fiction story had an intelligent screenplay (by Cyril Hume), mind-blowing special effects, the endearing charms of Anne Francis, and, of course, Robby the Robot. This awesome title lobby card simply can't be beat for evocative imagery, with a mean-looking Robby toting Francis across an alien landscape. This lovely unrestored title lobby card has pinholes in the corners, stains in the top and bottom borders, and a small tear in the left border, none of which detracts from its considerable coolness factor.

Target Earth (Allied Artists, 1954). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Chicago is targeted as the focal point of an alien invasion from the planet Venus in this 1950s sci-fi thriller. Although we're told that an "army" of robots threatens the planet, there was actually only one robot costume, owing to very real budgetary realities. Nevertheless, this is a fine film and a great poster. This particular one sheet has some crossfold separation, paper tape on the reverse, a smudge in the bottom left, and some very light edge wear, but these minor faults in no way detract from the high degree of eye-appeal this poster possesses. Make this beauty your target, and bid today. Very Fine.

Robot Monster (Astor Pictures, 1953). One Sheet (27" X 41") 3-D Style.
One of the most overlooked and underappreciated films of the 1950s, Robot Monster is a triumph of creative filmmaking. Borrowing stylistic elements from both the German Expressionists - the bizarre, almost hallucinatory set pieces, such as the otherwise inexplicable appearance of a pair of fighting lizards - and the Italian Neo-Realists - the bleak and overwhelmingly helpless worldview, in which a handful of brave partisans wage an impossible battle against a superior conquering force, as well as the naturalistic settings and a preference for untrained actors - Phil Tucker boldly brought forth a thoughtful and considered creative masterpiece about the alien conqueror Ro-Man (George Barrows), who, with the aid of his Calcinator Death Ray, has virtually wiped out all life on the planet. Truly, this is a film that needs to be watched more than once in order to gain a full appreciation of Tucker's unique artistic vision. The glorious, and highly desirable, one sheet offered here had crossfold separations with paper loss, fold wear, a few holes in the yellow field, chips in the right border, and pinholes in the corners and field. Restoration has addressed most of these issues, making this rare and somewhat elusive gem a treasure you will be proud to own. Very Good/Fine on Linen.

Tobor the Great (Republic, 1954). Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style A.
Just a gentle story about a boy and his Robot....until the Russkies show up and capture the metal man to do their own bidding. Darn those Commies anyhow! This colorful half sheet features a different layout than the one sheet, with a more straight-on angle on Tobor, and colorful graphics. The poster had pinholes in the corners, slight border tears, a chip out of the bottom border, and creasing in the bottom left corner, all of which has been addressed with professional restoration. Fine/Very Fine on Linen. *

Terrifying monsters from a lost age menace John Agar and Hugh Beaumont in this slickly-directed shocker by Virgil W. Vogel.

A bit of fold wear was the only real condition issue, and has been addressed with professional restoration. Dig deep and add this sci-fi mini-classic to your collection. Very Fine on Linen.

The Astounding She Monster (American International, 1958). One Sheet (27" X 41").
A pair of crooks (Kenne Duncan and Jeanne Tatum), a kidnapped heiress (Marilyn Harvey), and a geologist (Robert Clarke) hole up in a country house and try to ward off a sexy blonde alien with a skintight metallic suit, high heels, and heavy lipstick (Shirley Kilpatrick), who can kill with just a touch. This is Kilpatrick's only known film role, and she has no dialogue, but fills out that glittery spacesuit quite nicely. One of the most striking science fiction posters of the 1950s, dominated by the sexy space monster, and an eye-catching design. This superb copy had some minor fold wear, but is otherwise pristine, and has been awarded the highest grade for a linen-backed poster. Very Fine+ on Linen.

Queen of Outer Space (Allied Artists, 1958). Poster (40" X 60").
Shot in color and in Cinemascope -- pretty lavish for a low-budget sci-fi romp starring Zsa Zsa Gabor -- this camp classic finds a group of astronauts (dressed in hand-me-down Forbidden Planet uniforms) who go off course and land on Venus, only to find it populated exclusively with beautiful women! Talk about first contact. This is probably the signature role of Gabor's film career, and she's appropriately the centerpiece of this little-seen 40" X 60", the first one we've had the opportunity to offer. The poster had edge wear, minor corner creases, and light overall creasing, all of which has been smoothed over with professional restoration. Very Fine on Linen.

Plan 9 from Outer Space (DCA, 1956). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
The Ed Wood masterpiece of schlock had many memorable elements, from Bela Lugosi's final film appearance, to Tor Johnson's awkward but extensive dialogue delivery. But let's face it, it was the stunning beauty of Vampira that has been the most identifiable aspect of this movie. This sexy lobby card features the Goth queen in all her glory. Maila Nurmi, who played Vampira, reportedly put on her costume and makeup at home, then rode the bus to the Plan 9 from Outer Space set - low budget filmmaking at its finest. There are pinholes in the corners, paper tape on the reverse, a small chip on the bottom border, and a smudge on the top left corner. Fine/Very Fine.

The War of the Worlds (Paramount, 1953). Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style B.
While working on When Worlds Collide in 1951, producer George Pal went through Paramount's script archive and found drafts for an unproduced film of H. G. Wells's novel, War of the Worlds. He discarded these versions and asked Barre Lyndon to write a new one. The result is cinema history. If there is a rare poster to stand for all of the 1950s, this fabulous style B half sheet would have to be the one. We have had the great privilege to offer one other copy of this half sheet before and have sold for over $39,000! This vibrant copy had some slight fold wear, pinholes in the corners, and a top left corner bend, and some minor staining within the image and bottom border, but professional expert professional restoration has rendered these slight flaws virtually invisible. This will be the cornerstone to any collection devoted to 1950s science fiction! Fine/Very Fine on Paper.

The Man from Planet X (United Artists, 1951). Autographed One Sheet (27" X 41").
Skid-row auteur Edgar G. Ulmer directs this cheap but atmospheric sci-fi thriller. The mysterious Planet X has entered our solar system and is coming perilously close to Earth; they send an emissary to make peace with us, but the alien is instead exploited by evil scientist William Schallert, and it all goes horribly wrong. Boasting some of the most distinctive artwork of the 1950s, this title has long been a favorite for poster collectors, and this outstanding unrestored one sheet is no exception. With gorgeous color and razor-sharp image quality, this is a keeper, with only some light wrinkling at the folds keeping it out of near mint territory. As a bonus, this poster was signed by Planet X star Robert Clarke in the lower right corner in 1992. Very Fine+.
Skid-row auteur Edgar G. Ulmer directs this cheap but atmospheric sci-fi thriller.

The Man from Planet X (United Artists, 1951). Door Panel (20" X 60").
Interstellar diplomacy take a serious blow in this atmospheric low-budget thriller from director Edgar G. Ulmer, which features one of the creepier men-from-another-planet in movie history. Offered here is the exceptionally rare door panel, an item that surprised even some of our most seasoned catalogers. It features an evocative image of the X-man staring out at leading lady Margaret Field, bathed in an eerie green tone. The poster had tears running from the borders into the field, a small tear in the bottom right with some associated paper loss, a chip and small tears in the left border, pinholes in the field, and a small hole in the bottom border, all of which has been addressed with stunning professional restoration. Fine on Paper.

The Thing from Another World (RKO, 1951). One Sheet (27" X 41").
James Arness plays the title role in this classic science fiction thriller, based on the novella Who Goes There by John W. Campbell Jr. In a remote arctic outpost, a team of American scientists and military discover a crashed spaceship under the ice, and eventually face off against its only survivor: a blood-sucking plant creature from outer space. Offered here is the film's iconic one sheet. One of the more distinctive science fiction posters ever, this eschews the more traditional artwork in favor of a bold alien-esque logo, with stark contrast between the red letters and the green background. Condition issues included fold wear with crossfold separations, a tear at the bottom left corner, border chips, and edge wear, all of which was addressed with professional restoration. Fine- on Linen.

The Thing From Another World (RKO, 1951). Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style A.
The great Howard Hawks' early entry in the science fiction realm became one of the 1950's most suspenseful films. To date, The Thing From Another World is considered one of the greatest ever made for the genre, and this terrific half sheet is thought to be one of the two best posters created for this classic. James Arness, who plays the title role, was never crazy about the makeup, even saying it made him look like a giant carrot. Thankfully audiences saw it differently, and the film made quite a memorable impression. There were pinholes in the corners, some fold wear, two chips in the bottom border, two tears in the right border, and some surface paper loss in the top border, all addressed with professional restoration. Fine+ on Paper.

Invasion of the Saucer-Men (American International, 1957). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Of all the posters created to promote science fiction films of the 1950s, there are a handful that collectors and aficionados worldwide recognize as the very best, including such desirable classics as Forbidden Planet (1956), The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), and The Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954). On any short list of great sci-fi posters, however, will certainly appear this fabulous piece, featuring the extraordinary art of Albert Kallis. The wonderful example offered here had fold wear and some minor edge wear on the left border prior to expert professional restoration. It now looks like a million bucks, and if you're one of those collectors who only want the best of the best, this poster is for you! Very Fine on Linen.

Invasion of the Saucer-Men (American International, 1957). Lobby Cards (2) (11" X 14").
Originally released on a double bill with I Was a Teenage Werewolf, this was certainly one of the more enjoyable sci-fi efforts of the 1950s. With Paul Blaisdell's cabbage-headed aliens and great performances by Gloria Castillo (Reform School Girl), and Frank Gorshin (The Riddler from television's Batman), Invasion of the Saucer-Men is still as fun to watch today as it was over 50 years ago. The number 5 card had pinholes in the corners while the number 8 card had a small scuff in the bottom border. Now, after a first class restoration, these cards will make a wonderful addition to any science fiction collection. Very Fine.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Allied Artists, 1956). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Whether you enjoy this picture as a highly-charged political metaphor - various critics have read the movie as a thinly disguised allegory for either the dangers of blacklisting during the McCarthy era, or a cautionary tale about the imminent danger of Communist invasion and infiltration - or an extremely suspenseful sci-fi classic, there's no doubt that this is one of the best genre movies of the 1950s. Miles Bennel (Kevin McCarthy) notices that his friends are behaving strangely, and soon discovers that people are being killed and replaced by alien seed pods. Offered here is the highly desirable one sheet for this perennial favorite. Only our strict policy of not awarding a poster mounted on linen a grade higher than VF+ keeps us from grading this beauty even higher. Very Fine+ on Linen.

Invaders from Mars (20th Century Fox, 1955). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Invaders From Mars holds the honor of being one of the first sci-fi scripts written in the 1950s era. While not released until 1953, the revised screenplay was actually finished in September of 1950. The brilliant use of color, creepy music, impressively large set pieces, and imaginative directing by William Cameron Menzies have made this picture a genre classic. Perhaps the movie was ahead of its time, since alien abductions have become such a common theme. This film was not reissued until 1976, but when a second printing was done on the one sheets in 1953, a 1955 copyright date was inadvertently placed on the bottom left side of the poster. This poster is from that second printing. There was some fold wear prior to being linen-backed, but other than that, not much was wrong with this beauty. Very Fine+ on Linen.

Invaders from Mars (20th Century Fox, 1953). Poster (40" X 60").
The "red scare" of the 1950s inspired a "green scare" rash of science fiction movies about bug-eyed aliens from outer space coming to get us. Perhaps the finest of these is William Cameron Menzies's surreal Invaders from Mars, a purposely garish and wonky thriller that all turns out to be a young boy's fever-dream. With arch, unrealistic sets and outrageous monsters (including 7-foot aliens in green velour with the buggiest of bug-eyes), this is an unforgettable film experience. Offered here is the rarely-seen 40" X 60" (the first opportunity we've had to offer it) with artwork seen on no other paper for this title. Condition issues were minor, and included a tear in the bottom border, small edge tears, and overall surface creasing, all of which has been smoothed over with professional restoration. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

When Worlds Collide (Paramount, 1951). One Sheet (27" X 41").
A great big planet is hurtling through space on a collision course with Earth -- and there's nothing left to do except build a giant spaceship, hold a lottery, and rescue a few hundred folk to colonize another world. This George Pal classic is filled with eye-catching special effects, while the equally eye-catching Barbara Rush is on hand as the love interest to leading men Richard Derr and Peter Hansen. Condition issues include a tear and small chip out at the lower right fold, and pinholes at the top corners, all of which has been addressed with professional restoration. Very Fine on Linen.

Not of this Earth (Allied Artists, 1957). Insert (14" X 36").
Roger Corman directed this sci-fi classic starring Paul Birch, Beverly Garland, and Morgan Jones. In 1957, Allied Artists Pictures released this film simultaneously with Attack of the Crab Monsters, but we think it's safe to say that Not of this Earth has the cooler title. B movie fans should also note that the great Dick Miller appears in this film as Joe Piper, the vacuum cleaner salesman. Made for a mere $100,000 and with a runtime of only 67 minutes, this terrific Corman production is a superb example of low-budget sci-fi cinema from the 50s - and what a great poster! Prior to restoration, there was a tear in the top left corner and another in the top right corner, some pinholes, and one center fold line. Fine/Very Fine on Paper.

It Conquered the World (American International, 1956). Insert (14" X 36").
Peter Graves, Beverly Garland, and Lee Van Cleef brought a bit of class to this rather low-budget but endearing sci-fi classic. Shot in just five days, and directed by Roger Corman, It Conquered the World has become one of the most influential movies of its kind. Genre fans should also look for Dick Miller as a rather amusing soldier. The poster screams 1950's science fiction, and remains a memorable bit of imagery from that era. There was a tear with a small chip on the right border, small chips on left border, small creases toward the top of the poster, and a bottom right corner bend. Note that this poster was not folded prior to restoration. Very Fine- on Linen.

It Came from Outer Space (Universal International, 1953). One Sheet (27" X 41") 3-D Style.
After a spaceship crashes in the Arizona desert, people in a nearby town begin to behave strangely. Could aliens be infiltrating America? One of the great "Commie Invasion" metaphor films of the 1950s, most of the dialogue comes directly from Ray Bradbury's original film treatment, although Harry Essex is credited as the screenwriter. This fabulous poster, for the 3-D release of the film, had fold wear and pinholes in the top corners, but expert professional restoration has rendered these slight flaws virtually invisible. Don't let this beauty get away! Very Fine on Linen.

It! The Terror from Beyond Space (United Artists, 1958). Poster (40" X 60").
Often cited as a prototype for Ridley Scott's Alien, It! The Terror from Beyond Space features Ray "Crash" Corrigan in one of the better 1950s rubber monster suits, terrorizing a group of astronauts on a space voyage from Mars in the futuristic year of 1973. This rare 40" X 60" has edge wear throughout, some overall scuffing and creasing in the field, and tears in the top border, some of which extend into the image area. Rolled, Fine+.

E. T. The Extra-Terrestrial (Universal, 1982). One Sheet (27" X 40.5") Bicycle Style.
One year after introducing the world to Indiana Jones, director Steven Spielberg unleashed the lovable alien known as E. T. on the world, and perhaps by accident, created his own long-running company logo involving a sky-high bike-ride in front of the moon. He also introduced moviegoers properly to both Henry Thomas and the now very famous Drew Barrymore. This film was done at the same time Spielberg was working on Poltergeist, and while the two movies revolve around the same type of suburban setting, the overall tone of each couldn't be more different. While there have been many reprints of posters for E. T. The Extra Terrestrial, this bicycle version is an original, proven by its odd vertical size. Rolled, Near Mint.

Star Wars (20th Century Fox, 1977). One Sheet (27" X 41") Mylar Advance.
Movie audiences had no idea what they were in for in 1977, though this poster attempted to warn them of the impending wonder writer/director George Lucas was about to unleash. Initially, many people in Hollywood, including the film's studio, 20th Century Fox, doubted this picture's ability to succeed. Certain movie theaters didn't even want to show it, prompting Fox to threaten withholding other potential blockbusters from their marquee. In the end, Lucas had the last laugh, and last dollar of just about every moviegoer in that era. The film's stars, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford, would go on to star in two critically acclaimed and fan-praised sequels, and the franchise itself has easily become the most successful of all time. There is some edge wear, and light creasing on the edges and throughout the poster, but overall, this metallic one sheet continues to hold a "most impressive" look. Rolled, Very Fine-.

Star Wars (20th Century Fox, 1977). British Quad (30" X 40") and Double Crowns (2) (20" X 30").
George Lucas's sci-fi epic spawned numerous posters, but few are harder to find than these three pieces from the United Kingdom. They were originally part of the Marler Haley set of 6 which also included the Hildebrandt Brothers theatrical British quad, a "Heroes" double crown, and a "Villains" double crown. While most collectors are familiar with the Hildebrandt quad, the other posters in the set are exceedingly rare. The Princess Leia centerpiece quad has tears in the left and bottom borders, while the "Excitement" double crown has a chip and a tear in the top border. Still, the scarcity of these posters far outweighs these minor flaws. Fine/Very Fine.

Star Wars (20th Century Fox, 1977). International Six Sheet (81" X 81").
What can one say about Star Wars that hasn't already been said? One of the most significant films of the twentieth century, it has become, since its initial release, a part of our cultural mythology. Not surprisingly, original paper from this popular picture is always in high demand, especially the harder-to-find formats like this exceptional flat-folded six sheet. In unused Mint condition, posters don't come cleaner than this beauty. Snag this one today and display it proudly! Mint.

Revenge of the Jedi (20th Century Fox, 1982). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Richard Marquand directed the third installment of the extremely popular George Lucas franchise, which was originally intended to be slightly darker than the end result. Case in point, this advance title - Revenge of the Jedi is part of what makes this poster so highly sought after. These early versions of the film's advertising were only distributed in limited amounts, and after the title change, they became quite coveted. This would also mark the first time Drew Struzan's artwork would be used on a Star Wars poster, adding yet again to the collectible nature of this piece. This item is from the collection of David Frangioni, collector and author of the upcoming film poster book, from Palace Press International entitled "Clint Eastwood: ICON". Very Fine+ on Linen.

Barbarella (Paramount, 1968). Poster (40" X 60").
Based on a French comic strip, the story concerns the adventures of a 41st-century woman, who pretty much gets it on with whomever, whenever. This fantastic 1968 psychedelic teaser is undoubtedly the best poster from this camp, cult film. Twenty-nine year old Jane Fonda does do her thing, especially the zero gravity strip-tease in the opening credits. This poster is seldom offered. Prior to restoration, there were tears in the borders, light creasing in the field and a bend in the top right corner. There was also a scratch in the lower left quart. But these flaws have been expertly repaired with minor touch-up during professional restoration. Very Fine- on Paper.

Barbarella (Paramount, 1968). British Quad (30" X 40").
In one of the greatest roles of her career, Jane Fonda plays sexy space heroine Barbarella, based on the enormously popular French comic strip by Jean-Claude Forest. From the opening shot, in which Barbarella does a strip-tease in zero gravity, you know you're in for a wild ride! This wonderful British quad, with artwork not seen in any of the American paper, has pinholes in three corners, a top left corner bend, and light edge wear, but is otherwise in superb condition. Very Fine.

Barbarella (Paramount, 1968). British Quad (30" X 40").
Space scientist Durand-Durand has gone missing, and space-vixen Barbarella is dispatched to investigate. Jane Fonda cemented her reputation as a serious actress by appearing in a variety of revealing costumes (and, briefly, nude) in this outrageous sci-fi spoof based on the Italian comic book of the same name. This British quad, in a style we have never offered before, has cool comic book-esque artwork of Fonda, and is in fantastic condition, with some pinpoint crossfold separation being the only condition issue, smoothed over with professional restoration. Very Fine on Linen.

Planet of the Apes (20th Century Fox, 1968). Insert (14" X 36").
This is the one that started it all. Charlton Heston, Roddy McDowall, Maurice Evans, and Kim Hunter headlined the first in what would become a series of films, and even a television series. Planet of the Apes still holds the record for the movie with the most expensive make-up budget, when adjusted for inflation of course, as 17% of its dollars went toward prosthetics. Heston's stressed-out performance was actually due to him having the flu during much of the shooting time, which the producers felt added to his character. The film introduced audiences to Linda Harrison as Nova, who is prominently featured on this insert. This great poster had pinholes in the corners, fold wear, a bottom right corner chip, and small tears in the left and right border, all addressed with professional restoration. Fine/Very Fine on Paper.

Planet of the Apes (20th Century Fox, 1968). Advance One Sheets (3) (27" X 41").
Based on the novel by Pierre Boulle, this popular science fiction film tells the story of a group of astronauts, led by Commander George Taylor (Charlton Heston), who land on a strange planet where apes are civilized and wild humans are hunted for sport. Ingrid Bergman was originally offered the role of Zira - a role eventually played by Kim Hunter - but turned it down, a decision she later regretted.

2001: A Space Odyssey (MGM, 1968). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
This outstanding film has served as a strong influence on many sci-fi movies that followed, and remains a great subject of debate among fans, mainly due to its highly unusual finale. An interesting fact: this was the last movie made about man landing on the moon before we actually did land on the moon. Surprisingly, one of the rarest formats on this classic science fiction epic from Stanley Kubrick is the half sheet. This example, featuring the art of Robert McCall, has had airbrush work done to the borders and light color touch to the image. Otherwise it is in quite nice condition and would be a wonderful addition to any classic film poster collection. Very Fine+ on Paper.

Rhythm Rodeo (1938). One Sheet (28.25" X 41.75").
Although little is know about this all-black comedy musical, it is significant as the second film to feature Herb "The Bronze Buckaroo" Jeffries, who would become one of the most significant figures in the black film industry of the 1930s and 1940s. A talented singer, Jeffries began his show business career fronting for Earl "Fatha" Hines and Duke Ellington. After several years of singing with bands, Jeffries tried his luck in Hollywood, hoping to make it as a singing cowboy in the style of Gene Autry. His first film, Harlem on the Prairie (1937) - the first all-talking black Western - was a success, setting Jeffries on a trajectory to become one of Hollywood's most respected black actors, as he offered a strong, positive alternative to the demeaning, stereotypical roles that were common at that time. This remarkable poster had edge wear, fold wear, and chipping in the center horizontal fold, but expert professional restoration has rendered these slight flaws virtually invisible. This is a historic poster that you will no doubt display proudly. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Harlem on the Prairie (Associated Features, 1937). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Herb Jeffries stars in what is perhaps his finest Western, and one that would successfully attempt to break down the racial barriers of early Hollywood. The 6'2" actor and singer co-stars here with comedian Mantan Moreland. Jeffries knew African-American youths needed a hero, and this film would be the first of four from the talented auteur featuring all-black casts. This gorgeous poster is in extremely nice shape, and it should be noted that this is the first time we have auctioned a first-run original poster for this classic. Prior to professional restoration, there were pinholes in the corners and fold wear. Very Fine on Linen.

It Happened in Harlem (All-American, 1945). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Little is known about this mid-1940s jazz film, save the names of the featured performers. Perhaps most outstanding of all the musicians listed was the famed Christopher Columbus, leader of the Swing Crew. Columbus led his own band for more than two decades, beginning in the 1930s, and played such prestigious venues as Harlem's Savoy Ballroom. In later years, he played with Louis Jourdan, Wild Bill Davis, and, in the 1960s, Duke Ellington. With a career that continued well into the 1990s, Columbus died shortly after his 100th birthday in 2002. This film was one of the only screen appearances for many of the musicians involved, making it a rare and desirable piece for any jazz enthusiast. It had some crossfold separation with missing paper at the top fold line, and a chip in the top border, but these slight flaws have been rendered virtually invisible after the application of expert professional restoration. Swing on by and bid on this baby! Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Rock 'N' Roll Revue (Studio Films, 1955). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Apparently a filmed version of a live stage show, this incredible revue features the exceptional talents of such legendary performers as Nat "King" Cole, Lionel Hampton, Duke Ellington, Dinah Washington, Mantan Moreland, and even a young "Nipsey" Russell. The poster offered here, which pictures many of these stars, shows some smudging in the borders from the printing process, pinpoint crossfold separation, a tiny chip in the right border, and some extra fold lines in the top and bottom border. Nevertheless, it is a wonderful poster that some lucky collector will be proud to own and display. Very Fine-.

Love Me Tender (20th Century Fox, 1956). One Sheet (27" X 41").
By 1956, Elvis Presley had become a recording sensation. But everyone knew that there was more to the young star than swiveling hips and a golden voice. Presley turned his attentions to the silver screen with his debut role in this Western originally titled The Reno Brothers. The title was changed at the last minute to take advantage of Presley's hit song, "Love Me Tender." The film was such a smash that it earned back its entire production cost of $1 million in its opening weekend, solidifying Elvis's status as pure box office gold. This fabulous poster for the King's first film is in excellent condition having had minor restoration to address pinpoint crossfold separations. Very Fine on Linen.

A Hard Day's Night (United Artists, 1964). Lobby Cards (4) (11" X 14").
In 1964, with Beatlemania at its height, the decision was made to spotlight the Fab Four in their very own feature film.

Offered here are four exquisite lobby cards from this fan favorite movie, each of which pictures all four of the Lads from Liverpool. All the cards show light stains in the bottom border; Card #6 has pinholes in the corners; and Card #2 has foxing in the left border and a light ink line in the right border.

Let It Be (United Artists, 1970). Lobby Card Set of 8 (11" X 14") and Fan Club Promo Kit.
The Fab Four had already released "Abbey Road" and broken up by the time this dour documentary -- originally intended for British television -- finally hit theaters, and it's unnerving to watch four such talented musicians splintering apart.

The various contents of the kit are VF/NM, giving this entire lot a collective grade of Near Mint.

The winner of six Academy Awards (the film set a record for the most nominations, at 14, a record that still stands although it was tied by the 1997 release of Titanic), including Best Picture, Best Director (Joseph L. Mankiewicz), and Best Supporting Actor (George Sanders), this is the story of Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter), an aspiring actress who worms her way into the inner circle of Broadway star Margo Channing (Bette Davis). Eve proves to be a Machiavellian manipulator, who uses her new position to advance her own career, no matter what the cost. Also in the cast, in an early role, is a young Marilyn Monroe. This attractive poster had fold wear with chipping, and the upper right corner has been replaced. These minor flaws have been rendered virtually invisible by the hand of an expert professional restorer. Very Good on Linen.

Niagara (20th Century Fox, 1953). One Sheet (27" X 41").
As one of the most popular Marilyn Monroe posters, this beauty rates a high place in any cinema collection. Monroe is magnificent as Rose Loomis, the unhappy wife of George (Joseph Cotten), who is suffering from mental problems. During a vacation at the Falls, the Loomises involve another couple, Polly and Ray Cutler (Jean Peters and Max Showalter) in their plots and schemes against one another. The poster for this top thriller has been professionally restored to address fold wear, crossfold separations, a small chip in both the bottom and left borders, and a corner chip in the lower left; it now displays beautifully. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (20th Century Fox, 1953). Lobby Card Set of 8 (11" X 14").
The film that made "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend" Marilyn Monroe's signature song also partnered the blonde beauty with the up-and-coming brunette, Jane Russell. These cards with fantastic images of the two stars have some issues such as creasing and a small tear in the bottom border of the title card, the #3 card has chip in the lower border, the #5 and #6 cards have stains, there is a scratch in the top border of card #7, and a bend to the bottom left corner and small tear to the top border of the #8 card.

The Prince and the Showgirl (Warner Brothers, 1957). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Starring Marilyn Monroe and Laurence Olivier (who also directed this comic masterpiece), this is the ultimate "ditzy blonde" role for Monroe, who, as showgirl Elsie Marina, finds herself caught up in a political whirlwind, and in the arms of Charles, the Prince Regent of Carpathia (Olivier). In spite of the strong performances of the leads, the film was a box office disappointment, and many critics took the opportunity to predict that Monroe was "washed up" in films. Little did they know that she would make a dramatic "comeback" shortly thereafter in Some Like It Hot. This beautiful one sheet is in superb condition; only some minor crossfold separation, now rendered virtually invisible after expert professional restoration, keeps this gem from an even higher grade. Very Fine on Linen.

Some Like It Hot (United Artists, 1959). One Sheet (27" X 41").
The artwork for this delightful one sheet features Marilyn Monroe, along with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon in drag as Josephine and Daphne. Billy Wilder's comedic masterpiece stars the cross-dressing pair on the run from gangsters lead by Spats Colombo (George Raft). Monroe gives one of the most entertaining performances of her career as Sugar Kane Kowalczyk, a ukulele playing gold-digger who falls for Tony Curtis's impersonation of a millionaire who sounds a lot like Cary Grant! This expertly restored one sheet had small edge tears and minor chips in the bottom border. There is an area of writing in the white field that has been touched up, but still slightly shows through. Fine on Linen.

Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, and Jack Lemmon star in this comedy classic from 1959, a movie many consider to be one of the greatest films of all time. Two struggling musicians witness a mob massacre, and now must do their best to find a way out of the city, leading them to go in disguise as women. Let the hijinks ensue! Director Billy Wilder went on record as having a difficult time with Monroe during filming, as did many of the cast members, but despite their reported problems, the film remains a highly enjoyable romp. This set includes a title card and three lobby cards. There are pinholes in the corners of one card, and a corner bump in the lower left corner of all cards. These appear to be mostly unused. Very Fine+.

Some Like It Hot (United Artists, 1959). Lobby Cards (4) (11" X 14").
Some consider this Billy Wilder classic to be the funniest film ever made, and who are we to disagree? In order to keep away from the mob, musicians Joe (Tony Curtis) and Jerry (Jack Lemmon) hide out in an all-girl band, posing as Josephine and Daphne. Things get complicated when they meet lead singer Sugar Kane (Marilyn Monroe), and both fall for the enchanting chanteuse, leading to a number of hilarious situations. Offered here are four beautiful lobby cards; two have pinholes in the corners, while all show light bends in the bottom left corners. In spite of these minor flaws, these cards are exceptionally displayable, and will definitely enhance any collection. Very Fine.

The Misfits (United Artists, 1961). Italian 2 - Folio (39" X 55").
The final film for both Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable, and one of the last to feature Montgomery Clift, this is the story of a sexy divorcee who takes up with two men, both of whom fall for her. The striking poster offered here had staple holes in the borders, fold wear, and torn top corners with tape stains, but expert professional restoration has largely addressed these minor issues, making this poster look like a million bucks. This is, perhaps, the prettiest poster done for this film! Very Fine- on Linen.

The Misfits (United Artists, 1961). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
This compelling movie, written by renowned playwright Arthur Miller for his soon-to-be bride Marilyn Monroe, tells the story of a sexy divorcee who takes up with two men (Clark Gable and Montgomery Clift), both of whom fall for her. This was the last completed film of both Gable - he suffered a fatal heart attack the day after filming finished - and Monroe, who would die under mysterious circumstances about a year later. With John Huston in the director's chair, this film represents a confluence of talent that would never again be repeated. This lovely three sheet shows some wrinkling, and a tape stain and small tear in the image area, but is otherwise extremely clean and attractive. You know you want this one. From the Todd Feiertag Collection. Fine/Very Fine.

A Streetcar Named Desire (Warner Brothers, 1951). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
Tennessee Williams's award-winning play was vividly brought to the silver screen with this outstanding film, directed by Elia Kazan. A critical and commercial success, the film racked up an impressive twelve Academy Award Nominations, with four wins, including Best Actress (Vivian Leigh), Best Supporting Actor (Karl Malden), and Best Supporting Actress (Kim Hunter). This wonderful, and highly desirable, three sheet had a chip in the right border, a large piece missing in the top left border, and chipping in the image area, but expert professional restoration has rendered these flaws virtually invisible. The poster, which now looks as good as new, will be an important addition to some lucky Bidder's collection. Fine on Linen.

On the Waterfront (Columbia, 1954). One Sheet (27" X 41").
"I could have had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it." So says Terry Malloy (Marlon Brando) in director Elia Kazan's epic tale about mob corruption and violence on the New York docks. Largely seen as an allegory about "naming names" during the horrifying McCarthy Era, this marvelous film won eight Academy Awards, including Best Actor (Brando), Best Director (Kazan), and Best Picture. This highly desirable one sheet has pinholes in the borders, fold wear with crossfold separation, and a censor stamp in the top right, but is extremely attractive and displayable, a true treasure for any film fan. Very Fine- on Linen.

On the Waterfront (Columbia, 1954). Italian 2 - Folio (39" X 55").
One of Marlon Brando's greatest roles (and the one that brought him his first Oscar), On the Waterfront has stood the test of time. This vivacious Italian 2-folio poster is far superior to the American paper on this title, for one very simple reason: Anselmo Ballester's lush artwork, spotlighting Brando and Eva Marie Saint, as well as the conflict between dock workers and racketeers. This poster has no condition issues of note, and only our strict policy of grading linen-backed posters no higher than VF+ keeps this from a higher grade. Very Fine+ on Linen.

Rebel without a Cause (Warner Brothers, 1955). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
One of the most influential films of the twentieth century, this is, perhaps, the performance for which James Dean is best remembered. As Jim Stark, Dean paints a compelling portrait of a troubled young man trying to fit into a society for which he has little respect. Released shortly after Dean's tragic and untimely death in an auto accident, the film was an instant success and firmly established Dean as a timeless cinema icon. This classic half sheet had fold wear and a crease in the right border, but expert professional restoration has rendered these slight flaws virtually invisible. If you're looking for great paper on this landmark title, look no further. Very Fine+ on Paper.

Roman Holiday (Paramount, 1953). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Audrey Hepburn's Academy Award winning performance in this romantic classic is a delight to watch, again and again. William Wyler directs Hepburn in her first starring role, along with Gregory Peck and Eddie Albert, as she escapes the drudgery of royal life by roaming the streets of Rome. With the great portraits of the stars and the shot of Peck and Hepburn on their Vespa, this poster has always been popular with fans. There are pinholes in the corners, fold wear with slight separation and a small hole in the top right field. Fine+.

Breakfast at Tiffany's (Paramount, 1961). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Audrey Hepburn went on record saying she felt miscast as the character of Holly Golightly, but Breakfast at Tiffany's became one of her most popular roles regardless. The film co-starred George Peppard, Patricia Neal, Buddy Ebsen, Martin Balsam, and Mickey Rooney in a somewhat controversial role, at least by today's standards. Blake Edwards directed the film, a job that was originally intended for John Frankenheimer. Hepburn had never heard of Frankenheimer, and insisted someone more noteworthy be behind the camera - safe to say this could have been a very different movie if things went as originally planned. This portrait card (original with an ink NSS stamp) is about as perfect of a representation from the film as you could ask for. There is a small surface chip in the image area. Very Fine-.

The Children's Hour (United Artists, 1962). Autographed Lobby Card (11" X 14").
This is director William Wyler's second adaptation of Lilian Hellman's stage play about two headmistresses (Audrey Hepburn and Shirley MacLaine) of a private school for young girls who become the target of a nasty student's malicious gossip. This card is beautifully signed by both stars and co-star James Garner. The card has three staple hole marks in the purple background. From the collection of Artie Kern, A/V man to Oscar winning songwriter Sammy Cahn for many years. Kern was also Memorabilia Consultant to the Songwriters Hall of Fame Museum in New York City and many of his items were on display there from 1980 until 1985 when it closed. Sammy Cahn helped Artie Kern obtain the autographs as he was president of the hall for over 17 years; almost all of the signatures were from Cahn's personal friends. Fine.

The Hell Cat (Columbia, 1934). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Gorgeous Ann Sothern plays a society belle who tries to get the best of a nosy reporter (Robert Armstrong) who once popped her in the nose. She tries to make him fall in love with her (so she can dump him), but the plan backfires, and he ends up saving her from a gang of crooks. This sublime title card features an amazing portrait of Sothern and a glossy finish, as the Columbia cards of the period were, that makes it look like new. The tiniest of corner bends and a minor crease in the top left corner are the only condition issues to note, and do nothing to detract from this gem. Near Mint+.

They Call It Sin (Warner Brothers, 1932). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Loretta Young was already a major star when she did this film at age 19. She plays a naive church organist who falls hard for a city slicker (David Manners), not knowing that he's already married. She heads to the Big Apple to try her luck as a songwriter, but various romantic entanglements spell trouble for the pretty Young thing. This alluring lobby card has a great image of Young and terrific colors, and is virtually pristine, with only some very minor corner bumps to note. Near Mint+.

The Pace That Kills (Willis Kent Productions, 1935). Window Card (14" X 22").
Incredibly sensual graphics for this 1935 exploitation film about the evils of cocaine use, later reissued as Cocaine Fiends. Frank Shannon, who a year later played Dr. Zarkov in the Flash Gordon serial, had a key role in this film. This unrestored window card, which retains its original sniper, is a survivor with only minor smudging in the right border and minor corner bends. From the Todd Feiertag Collection. Very Fine.

Born to Be Bad (20th Century Fox, 1934). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Rejected twice by the Hays Office because of Loretta Young's skimpy costumes, this downbeat drama directed by Lowell Sherman co-stars Cary Grant. Fans of Young's mostly wholesome roles may be shocked by her performance as an unwed mother and grifter who turns to prostitution. You'd hardly know the film's seedy content to look at this lovely title card, with a beaming Young at the apex of her gorgeousness. Some faint smudging at the right side is the only condition issue.

Queen of the Night Clubs (Warner Brothers, 1929). Window Card (14" X 22").
Manhattan nightclub owner Texas Guinan is basically cast as herself in this crime drama. Tex Malone (Guinan) hires songbird Bee Wallace (Lila Lee) to perform in her club, a move that results in murder and the accusation of Tex's long lost son (Eddie Foy, Jr.). But what is most important about this movie is that it marks the film debut of George Raft, who brings one of his famous Broadway dance numbers to the big screen. There were tears in the credits and at Guinan's forehead. There was also creasing in the credits and a top right corner bend. This is certainly a rare title an one which we have never seen before! Fine+ on Cardstock.

In attempting to cover a crime committed by her dead-beat boyfriend Vince (Edward Byrnes), Donna Price (Gloria Costello) takes the blame for a fatal car accident. The story really begins once she is locked up with other female delinquents (including Sally Kellerman). One of the all-time great exploitation posters of the 1950s, this sizzling image of girls behind bars is a fan favorite. There are no issues with this beautiful poster, and if not for our policy of grading no higher than VF+ for linen-mounted posters, it would be considered Mint. Very Fine+ on Linen.

Hot Rod Girl (American International, 1956). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Lori Nelson headlined this film about... you guessed it, hot rods, which starts out on the San Fernando Dragstrip. The cast also features recognizable stars like Chuck Connors and Frank Gorshin. The 1955 Thunderbird that Nelson drives in the film was in fact her own vehicle, the result of a script calling for a blue sports car, and the budget not allowing money to rent one. The poster had crossfold separations, light fold wear, a tear in the top border into the image area, a scuff on the top right, and a small tear on the bottom border. All has been beautifully restored, and this piece displays bright colors and a sharp look ready for display. Fine+ on Linen.

Enter the Dragon (Warner Brothers, 1973). International Three Sheet (41" X 81").
The final film completed by star Bruce Lee before his untimely death at the age of 32 in 1973, this is also widely considered to be Lee's best film, and the one credited with introducing martial arts films to mainstream movie audiences in the West. Mixing equal elements of Kung Fu-style action with James Bond espionage, the film is about an undercover agent (Lee) who agrees to spy on a drug kingpin (Kien Shih) during a martial arts tournament. John Roper and Jim Kelly add to the martial arts action. This classic three sheet is in great condition; only some light wrinkling and a small tear in the top border keep it from an even higher grade. Very Fine+.

Eraserhead (Libra Films, 1977). British Quad (30" X 40").
Before he found a measure of mainstream success with films like The Elephant Man, Dune, Blue Velvet, and the TV sensation Twin Peaks, there was the little film that first brought David Lynch to the attention of moviegoers everywhere: Eraserhead. A surreal, often caustic fever-dream of a movie, Eraserhead posits an industrial nightmare-scape where a disassociated man (Jack Nance) agrees to marry his pregnant girlfriend, only to have the baby turn out to be a squealing reptilian mutoid. Eraserhead defies almost any subtexual reading (though "fear of fatherhood" might hold some water), and will not likely be forgotten by anyone who sees it. This evocative British quad uses Nance's finger-in-a-light-socket hairdo as a visual icon, with eye-popping green titles. The poster had fold wear, pinpoint crossfold separations, and pinholes in the corner, all of which has been addressed with professional restoration. Very Fine on Linen.

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (MGM, 1958). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Tennessee Williams's Pulitzer Prize-winning play was masterfully adapted for the screen by writer/director Richard Brooks who had previously found success with The Brothers Karamazov and The Blackboard Jungle.

Cool Hand Luke (Warner Brothers, 1967). Three Sheet (41" X 80").
Paul Newman, George Kennedy, and Dennis Hopper star in this story of one man's refusal to conform to brutal life in a rural prison. There is a small border chip at the top, a few minor tears and holes, and staple holes in this three sheet. However, the color is incredibly fresh as is highlighted by the piercing blue of Newman's eyes. This is truly exceptional paper for one of the greatest films of its era. Fine/Very Fine.

Bullitt (Warner Brothers, 1968). Poster (30" X 40").
While Steve McQueen turned in many memorable roles in his career, it is probably Bullitt that is best and fondly remembered. Peter Yates directed the tough cop classic, which co-starred Robert Vaughn, Jacqueline Bisset, and Robert Duvall. But the most important secondary character in this film would have to be the famous Mustang that McQueen drives, which has been the envy of many since the movie's release. The only remaining screen-used version is sitting in a barn in New Jersey, as the owner refuses to sell it. But you can own this snazzy piece of memorabilia now, so put the pedal to the metal and bid to win. Note there is some light creasing throughout the poster. This item is from the collection of David Frangioni, collector and author of the upcoming film poster book, from Palace Press International entitled "Clint Eastwood: ICON". Rolled, Very Fine+.

The Thomas Crown Affair (United Artists, 1968). Japanese STB (20" X 58").
One of the first films to use split-screen as a storytelling technique, The Thomas Crown Affair casts Steve McQueen as a self-made millionaire who orchestrates a daring heist at his own bank, in hopes of flying off to Rio. Paul Burke is the cop on the case, and Faye Dunaway is an insurance investigator who zeroes in on Crown -- and eventually falls for him. This nifty Japanese STB has great images of McQueen and Dunaway, and is in terrific condition, with only some fold wear on one panel. Rolled, Very Fine.

Ocean's 11 (Warner Brothers, 1960). One Sheet (27" X 41").
When Danny Ocean (Frank Sinatra) and his former army buddies (including Peter Lawford, Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, and Joey Bishop) decide to rip off five of Las Vegas's biggest casinos in one night, the result is the greatest Rat Pack movie ever made. Also starring Angie Dickinson, Cesar Romero, and Patrice Wymore, the movie was filmed around the Vegas performing schedules of the leads, who were all good friends. Consequently, much of the dialogue was ad-libbed, as the major characters knew each other so well, resulting in a fun and spontaneous picture. Paper from this movie is always highly desirable; the one sheet offered here shows a tear and some wrinkling in the left border, light foxing in the bottom border and in the fold lines, and faint offset transfer in both the top and the bottom. Overall, however, this is an extremely attractive poster that any fan of these great entertainers will be proud to own. Fine/Very Fine.

Get Carter (MGM, 1971). One Sheets (2) (27" X 41") Styles A & International.
Michael Caine is out for vengeance in this violent crime drama from director Mike Hodges. Carter is a gangster who goes after the killers who murdered his brother, meanwhile he must also save his niece Doreen (Petra Markham) from a life as a porn star. Carter is a contradictory character, just as brutal and unsympathetic as the thugs he is after, and the non-stop action is riveting. The photographic Style A poster offered here had fold wear prior to the application of expert professional restoration, while the highly desirable International style, designed by John Van Hamersveld, is in superb condition. These items are from the collection of David Frangioni, collector and author of the upcoming film poster book, from Palace Press International, entitled "Clint Eastwood: ICON." Very Fine+ on Linen.

Bullitt (Warner Brothers, 1968). International One Sheet (27" X 41").
It's business as usual for Frank Bullitt (Steve McQueen), a tough cop assigned to protect a witness scheduled to testify against the mob. When that witness is murdered, however, he sets out not only to find the killer, but also to uncover the identity of the person that leaked secret information. One of McQueen's greatest roles, the film is an action-packed fan favorite.

Bonnie and Clyde (Warner Brothers-Seven Arts, 1967). Door Panel Set of 4 (20" X 40").
Heavily influenced by the then-current Nouvelle Vague movement in French cinema, this exciting picture was originally to have been directed by François Truffaut, one of the leaders of that movement. When he bowed out after being given the opportunity to direct Fahrenheit 451 (1966), producers turned to Jean-Luc Godard, but negotiations never worked out. Finally, the director's chair was given to Arthur Penn, whose earlier film, Mickey One (1965), was also made in the style of the French New Wave. Although set during the Great Depression, this film perfectly captured the mood of the 1960s counter-culture, making it a huge success both critically and commercially, and ushering in the "New Hollywood" era that would dominate American filmmaking until the early 1980s. Offered here is a set of four door panels for this landmark film.

Heavily influenced by the then-current Nouvelle Vague movement in French cinema, this exciting picture was originally to have been directed by François Truffaut, one of the leaders of that movement. When he bowed out after being given the opportunity to direct Fahrenheit 451 (1966), producers turned to Jean-Luc Godard, but negotiations never worked out. Finally, the director's chair was given to Arthur Penn, whose earlier film, Mickey One (1965), was also made in the style of the French New Wave. Although set during the Great Depression, this film perfectly captured the mood of the 1960s counter-culture, making it a huge success both critically and commercially, and ushering in the "New Hollywood" era that would dominate American filmmaking until the early 1980s. Offered here is a set of four door panels for this landmark film.

Outside the Law (Universal, 1920). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Lon Chaney was one of the biggest stars of the silent era, and some of his most bizarre and compelling pictures - including The Unholy Three (1925), The Unknown (1927), and West of Zanzibar (1928) - were made in collaboration with director Tod Browning. This film was their second teaming, following The Wicked Darling in 1919. In this Universal Jewel production, Chaney plays two roles: Black Mike Sylva, a steely-eyed jewel thief, and Ah Wing, a Chinese shopkeeper's assistant, a role that brilliantly presages his incredible portrayal of Yen Sin, the humble Asian laundryman, in Shadows (1922). Astoundingly, Chaney actually kills himself in this picture, as Ah Wing becomes the instrument of Black Mike's demise! Although Chaney was still several years away from the superstardom he would gain with The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923), his talent for creating vivid, memorable characters is on full display in this classic picture. The title card offered here is in superb condition, with only a light smudge in the top right keeping it from an even higher grade. For the Chaney fan, it doesn't get much better than this, and you don't have to go outside the law to get it! Near Mint.

Bulldog Drummond (United Artists, 1929). Window Card (14" X 22").
The highly regarded actor Ronald Colman stars as Captain Hugh 'Bulldog' Drummond, who seeks adventure after he grows bored with his quiet, post-war life. Luckily for him, Phyllis Benton (Joan Bennett, in her first starring role) hires Drummond to rescue her father, who has been taken captive at a mental hospital. This early talkie is the fourth film featuring the hero developed by Herman Cyril "Sapper" McNeile, and it became an instant hit, garnering two Oscar nominations. Colman would soon return in the sequel, Bulldog Drummond Strikes Back, and the character would live on for decades in numerous films featuring other actors in the lead role. This stunning stone litho window card had small tears in the image, small chips at the bottom border, and the top imprint area --extending into the top of Colman's name -- has been replaced. This card has undergone expert restoration, and these issues are virtually unnoticeable, leaving a richly colored poster that displays well and will be sure to please. This great card depicts the famous torture scene from the film. Very Good/Fine on Cardstock.

20,000 Years in Sing Sing (Warner Brothers, 1932). Insert (14" X 36").

This dramatic insert poster has tack holes in the corners, borders, and image area, paper tape on the reverse, a long horizontal tear at the bottom, a date written in pencil in the bottom border, and light soiling overall, but these slight flaws do nothing to detract from the overall beauty and displayability of this rare and desirable piece.

They Made Me a Criminal (Warner Brothers, 1939). Window Card (14" X 22").
In the late 30's and certainly by 1939, Warner Brothers had all but abandoned artwork for their various posters, concentrating on photographic images, usually the duotone style which dominated their posters through the 40's. This window card for John Garfield's second starring film is an anomaly and arguably among the best designed window cards from any Warners period, featuring dramatic lighting on Garfield and provocative portraits of redhead Ann Sheridan and blonde Gloria Dickson. Exceptional color choices complement the dramatic tone of the film, the story of a boxer falsely accused of murder after a drunken brawl. They Made Me a Criminal solidified Garfield as a major leading man. In one of Jose Carpio's legendary poster catalogues, Stephen Rebello, the co-author of Reel Art, singled out this window card as an example of exceptional design. No other window card in this condition has surfaced at auction. This wonderful poster shows bends in three corners, a small stain in the left side, a scuff in the image area, paper tape on the reverse, and some very light paper loss in the imprint area. It is, however, a beautiful piece that any collector will be proud to own. Fine+.

Thank You, Mr. Moto (20th Century Fox, 1937). One Sheet (27" X 41").
This was the second of the Mr. Moto films starring Peter Lorre as the famed Japanese detective. This time, he aids two members of Chinese royalty who possess six of seven ancient scrolls that, when put together, reveal the secret hiding place of Genghis Khan's treasure. It just so happens that Moto possesses the seventh scroll. This poster had pinholes in the corners, fold wear with small tears, and crossfold separations. The excellent restoration job has left this poster looking pristine. Very Fine on Linen.

Charlie Chan Carries On (Fox, 1931). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Unfortunately for fans of the great Chinese detective, this early feature, the first starring Warner Oland in the role, is a "lost" film, but the story was later remade (with Sidney Toler) as Charlie Chan's Murder Cruise. While on vacation, Chan is embroiled in the murder of a wealthy American, and the case leads him across country and aboard ship. Marjorie White was apparently a highlight as a ditzy blonde, and Warren Hymer is the villain. This outstanding unrestored title lobby card has staple holes and some small ink stains in the image area. Very Fine-.

Myrna Loy and John Miljan star in this tale of forbidden love. Beautiful Onoto (Loy in yellow face) is rescued from slavery by white American fugitive Gregory Kent (Miljan).

Smart Money (Warner Brothers, 1931). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
The only cinematic teaming of James Cagney and Edward G. Robinson, this crime drama is about a small-town barber (Robinson) who goes to the city for some big-time gambling; his brother (Cagney) goes along to make sure he doesn't get fleeced, but things quickly go wrong. This outstanding lobby card features Robinson and Evelyn Knapp and still retains bold, eye-popping color. Some dust shadowing and a very small chip in the bottom border, and two pinholes are the only condition issues, and these do not detract from the card's spectacular appearance. Very Fine.

Doorway to Hell (Warner Brothers, 1930). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
In this, his second screen appearance, James Cagney plays Steve Mileaway, the second in command to notorious crime boss Louie Ricarno (Lew Ayres). Ricarno decides to retire to Florida with his new moll, and turn his criminal empire over to Mileaway, but the murder of his brother brings Ricarno back to Chicago for a bloody showdown with his rivals. This picture set the standard for many racket pictures to follow, introducing such tropes as the machine gun in the violin case and high-energy shoot-outs. Of course, Cagney would go on to make one of the most successful gangster pictures of all time just a few short months later - The Public Enemy (1930). This extremely rare card, one of only three in the set to picture Cagney, has pinholes in the corners, foxing in the bottom border, small stains in the borders, a small top left corner bend, and a tiny nick in the top border, but is otherwise very attractive and presentable. Paper from this title, especially paper featuring Cagney, rarely turns up, so don't miss this opportunity to add this beauty to your collection. Fine-.

Blonde Crazy (Warner Brothers, 1931). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Fresh off Public Enemy, James Cagney was reunited with his dynamic gal pal Joan Blondell in Blonde Crazy. Cranking out over 50 films a year between 1930 and 1934, Warner Brothers produced this charming, pre-Code, racy tale in just three weeks. Cagney plays a bell boy/con-man involved in a scandalous romp with a chambermaid (Blondell). A young Ray Milland also stars in his seventh film of 1931. The title card is a stunning representation of this classic Hollywood duo. Two pinholes and slight border wear keep this card from Near Mint/Mint. Paper from this title is scarce and you would be hard-pressed to find anything in this condition. Very Fine.

Blonde Crazy (Warner Brothers, 1931). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
James Cagney gets ready to lay one on a boisterous customer as girlfriend Joan Blondell watches in a scene from this fast-paced, racy, and very pre-Code Warners comedy. Pinholes in the top border is the only condition issue to note, and the card looks fresh as a daisy. Very Fine.

Lady Killer (Warner Brothers, 1933). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Dan Quigley (James Cagney), in an attempt to escape his gangster ways, finds himself embroiled in Hollywood and his past. Mae Clarke in her second turn with Cagney once again finds herself in a bad situation, but at least it's better than the grapefruit-in-the-face she took in The Public Enemy. This lobby card features a dramatic image of Cagney manhandling Clarke, and is virtually pristine, with staple holes in the right field (just below Jimmy's hand) the only condition issue of note. Very Fine.

G-Men (First National, 1935). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
In a departure from the tough-as-nails gangster character audiences were used to seeing him portray, here James Cagney plays "Brick" Davis, a G-man on the trail of a former associate. Due to pressure from the Production Code, Warner Brothers decided to simply change the focus from the crook to the cop in this fantastic picture. The new formula worked, as this film grossed more than $1 million in its initial release, an unheard of sum for the time. This dramatic card shows tape stains in the top corners and the bottom border, a small nick and a pencil mark in the top border, corner bumps, a tear in the bottom border, a crease in the center of the card, and a small dust shadow in the bottom right. These slight flaws notwithstanding, this is an extremely attractive, and highly desirable card from one of the greatest films of Cagney's career. Fine.

Angels with Dirty Faces (Warner Brothers, 1938). Insert (14" X 36").
Without a doubt, this is one of the greatest of the gangster films to come out of Warner Brothers in the 1930s. From James Cagney's portrayal of Rocky Sullivan - a two-bit hood with a heart of gold - to the engagingly ambiguous final scene - was Rocky really yellow at the end? - to Pat O'Brien's solid turn as Jerry Connolly, and top notch performances by Humphrey Bogart and the Dead End Kids, this picture is a winner from beginning to end. Paper from this picture is highly collectible and extremely scarce; in eight years of auctions, we've only offered a handful of pieces from the original release of this fan-favorite picture. This dramatic insert, one of the best pieces on the title, had minor chips in the left and right border, and a tear in the title area, all of which have been addressed by expert, professional restoration. Bid on this one now, as it may be quite some time before another comes your way. Very Good/Fine on Paper.

Angels with Dirty Faces (Warner Brothers, 1938). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
One of the best of the Warner Brothers' gangster films, this is the story of Rocky Sullivan (James Cagney), a small-time hood who returns to his old neighborhood and is given a heroes welcome by the local kids (The Dead End Kids). Rocky's best friend, Jerry Sullivan (Pat O'Brien), now the parish priest, tries to get Rocky to change his ways, leading to one of the most powerful endings ever seen in a film of this type.

The Roaring Twenties (Warner Brothers, 1939). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
This film from director Raoul Walsh featured James Cagney, Priscilla Lane, and Humphrey Bogart. This was actually the last time Cagney portrayed a gangster until White Heat (1949), as he was trying to diversify his roles. This movie is based on the real life of bootlegger Larry Fay, who unlike Cagey's Eddie Bartlett character stood 6-foot 3 inches tall, and was long-jawed and gangly. This great title card features Cagney and Lane in both a romantic pose and an intense pose, the latter of which they share with Bogart. There are pinholes in the corners and borders, tape on the reverse, a tear in the left border, chipping in the borders, a crease on the left side, and light restoration. Very Good-.

The Roaring Twenties (Warner Brothers, 1939). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart team-up for this classic crime drama about two war veterans who find their prospects limited in the post-war world, and turn to crime. When they find themselves as rival bootleggers, they decide to join forces and find much success. Priscilla Lane plays the dame everybody's in love with. This fantastic lobby card -- featuring Cagney, Bogart, and co-star Jeffrey Lynn -- has staple holes in the field, a tear in the left border, corner creases, and edge wear. Fine.

The Oklahoma Kid (Warner Brothers, 1939). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Many have debated whether it was a good idea to put James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart in a Western, but considering the gangster-esque traits of their characters, both were able to make it work. The powerhouse duo matched wits in this unconventional setting, which in many ways is a nice break from the norm, and a lot of fun for the audience. Donald Crisp co-stars as Judge Hardwick, turning in one of the best performances of his career. This great linen finish lobby card prominently features Bogart in a classic Western bar setting, as he confronts the great character actor Ward Bond. There are pinholes in the left and bottom border, edge wear on the top border, a small tear on the left and right border, corner bumps, clear tape on the reverse, a faint censor stamp on the right of the image, and a light horizontal crease in the center. Very Good/Fine.

Dead End (Scalera Film, 1948). Italian Folio (27" X 39").
Although this classic film was released in 1937 in the United States, it was not released in Italy until 1948, due to Mussolini's ban on American films, as well as the subsequent Nazi occupation. This lovely poster, therefore, with art by renowned painter Luigi Martinati, dates to the first Italian release. A great film, from relatively early in Bogie's career, Dead End is a gripping example of the Depression era gangster drama. This lovely poster had pinholes in the corners and borders with some slight discoloration, a chip in the top left corner, fold wear, and some tearing at the fold lines, but expert professional restoration makes this gem look as good as new. This is one we know you'll covet. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Tough guy "Baby Face" Martin (Humphrey Bogart) gets out of the slam and goes back home to the East side of New York to get the lay of the land. But his mother (Marjorie Main) denounces him as a killer, and his old girlfriend (Claire Trevor) is a streetwalker. The Dead End Kids, Leo Gorcey, Huntz Hall and the gang, would go on to star in their own series of films. This excellent lobby card features a great image of Bogie, and has pinholes in the corners, some overall light surface scratching, a stain in the bottom border, small tear in the right border, and paper tape on the reverse. Fine+.

Humphrey Bogart receives one of his first star billings in this drama about an overzealous cop (Pat O'Brien) who, through a chain of events, causes a man to go to prison. This great card, from the Warner Brothers' depression era drama, is one of the best in the set to feature future superstar Bogart with character actor Stanley Fields. The card has the most minor wear to the corners and several rubber stamps on the reverse. Cards of this age rarely show up as clean as this one. Very Fine/Near Mint.

Men are Such Fools (Warner Brothers, 1938). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Busby Berkeley directs this comedy about a secretary with an ad agency who develops the cure for the common hangover. Priscilla Lane stars with Wayne Morris as her husband. Humphrey Bogart has the third lead, as an advertising executive, and is seen in this rare card from the film. Bogart was not pictured on most of the posters from the film, making this a rare example. The card has wear and paper loss in the upper left and right corners. There are pinholes in the corners and borders and several within the image. The colors and glow of this linen finish card are absolutely magnificent. Very Good.

High Sierra (Warner Brothers, 1941). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
George Raft turned down the role of Roy Earle in this film, adapted from a novel by W.R. Burnett, with a screenplay by John Huston. Later the same year, he turned down the role of Sam Spade in the classic Maltese Falcon directed by John Huston. So were it not for Raft's less than astute judgment, Humphrey Bogart may never have become the star and legend he remains today. This is one of the best cards from this film noir classic co-starring Ida Lupino. The card has a small tear in the left border just extending into the green field, minor insect nibbling to the upper right corner and general wear in the other three corners. There is a very minor nick in the surface of the linen-finish card, just below the title box, which appears as white. The card is in very nice shape otherwise and has a small rubber stamp on the verso. Fine+.

Across the Pacific (Warner Brothers, 1942). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
The star and the director of The Maltese Falcon reunite for this taut espionage thriller. Humphrey Bogart plays Rick Leland, a disgraced ex-army man, who, after being turned down by the Canadian military, jumps a Japanese steamer bound for the Panama Canal. Mary Astor, Sidney Greenstreet, and Victor Sen Yung round out the stellar cast, and no one seems to notice that none of the action actually happens in the Pacific. Bogart makes with his gat in this terrific lobby card. Condition issues include pinholes in the corners (and one in the field), a tape stain in the top border, a small chip out of the top right border, minor surface paper loss, corner creases, edge wear, and clear tape on the reverse. Fine/Very Fine.

Casablanca (Warner Brothers, 1942). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Let's face it, to call this movie one of the greatest films of all time is an understatement. The classic gem featuring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman withstood the test of time for many moviegoing generations, and still holds its impact to this day. Strong supporting performances from Paul Henreid, Peter Lorre, Conrad Veidt, Claude Rains, and Sydney Greenstreet solidified an international feel for this "Best Picture" Academy Award winner. The poster features a photo collage of memorable scenes from the film, and serves as an effective reminder of one of Hollywood's most incredible accomplishments. There were pinholes in the corners, fold wear and crossfold separations, paper loss in the bottom fold, and a thin strip of paper missing in the bottom left border. Due to the professional restoration, these defects do not detract from the overall presentation of this poster, which is a thing of beauty. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Casablanca (Warner Brothers, 1942). Window Card (14" X 22").
Although the script was unfinished when shooting began, and the process of making the film was unusually chaotic, the result was a true American film classic. Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) is the proprietor of Ricks' American Cafe, located in the mysterious city of Casablanca, trying to maintain an air of neutrality during the Second World war. When old flame Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman) walks through his door seeking to flee the country with her husband, resistance leader Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid), Blaine's world is turned upside down. The film, which won three Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director (Michael Curtiz), contains some of the most memorable lines in movie history, including, "Louie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship," "We'll always have Paris," and, of course, "Here's looking at you, kid." It should come as no surprise, then, that paper on this title is extremely rare and desirable. This lovely window card had small tears in the borders, a crease in the imprint area, and corner bends in the top right and bottom left, but these are all minor flaws that do nothing to detract from the overwhelming beauty and desirability of this great piece. There has been airbrush work in the upper and lower imprint areas. Minimal restoration on a very desirable piece! Fine/Very Fine.

The film, which won three Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director (Michael Curtiz), contains some of the most memorable lines in movie history, including, "Louie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship," "We'll always have Paris," and, of course, "Here's looking at you, kid." It should come as no surprise, then, that paper on this title is extremely rare and desirable. This lovely window card had small tears in the borders, a crease in the imprint area, and corner bends in the top right and bottom left, but these are all minor flaws that do nothing to detract from the overwhelming beauty and desirability of this great piece. There has been airbrush work in the upper and lower imprint areas. Minimal restoration on a very desirable piece! Fine/Very Fine.
Casablanca (Warner Brothers, 1942). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman star in what many consider to be one of the greatest movies ever made. Against the war-torn backdrop of Casablanca, they rekindle a romance amidst political intrigue, corruption, and murder. The film went on to win the Oscar for Best Picture, Director and Screenplay. Bogart would receive his first nomination for Best Actor. This lovely title card has small pieces of white archival paper tape on the verso to support pinholes and a small missing lower right corner. There are pinholes in the corners and border as well as bending in the upper and lower left corners. The pinholes have had some small amount of paint applied to the holes but in very small amounts. There does not appear to be any paint in the image itself. It is rare to find this title card and this one is in very respectable condition. Fine.

Casablanca (Warner Brothers, 1942). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Known to the poster collectors of this classic title as the "Letter of Transit" card, this famous scene is the most pivotal in this famous Humphrey Bogart film. Picturing most of the cast, with Claude Rains holding the letter in question, as Rick Blaine (Bogart) gets the drop on him and Ingrid Bergman and Paul Henreid look on. The card has several pinholes in the image and border as well as some wear to the top border. The card has older restoration and very small pieces of white archival tape applied to the back. There was a tear in the card through Rains's right hand and down through his left hand. It has been repaired with older work but still displays nicely. This is one of the hardest cards to find from this Academy Award winner. Fine.

Casablanca (Warner Brothers, 1942). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman appear in the most romantic scene card from what many feel to be the greatest film ever made. Bogie looks deeply into Bergman's eyes and whispers the immortal line, "Here's lookin' at you, kid." The card has been paper-backed; it had a diagonal tear from the lower border up through the "ABL" of the title. There are pinholes in the corners and a couple within the image, which appears to be in very nice condition with slight touch up in the purple shadow next to Bogart's face. The restoration work was done well and the card displays nicely. Fine-.

Most of these issues have been repaired with white archival tape on the verso and a small amount of touch-up in the border only. Fine+.

Casablanca (Warner Brothers, 1942). Pressbook (Multiple Pages).
Despite the great talent in Hollywood at the time, no one other than Humphrey Bogart was ever considered to essay the role of Rick Blaine, a world-weary ex-freedom fighter who runs a nightclub in Casablanca during the early part of WWII. This Michael Curtiz-directed masterpiece is considered by many to be the best film ever made, and who are we to argue? This nifty pressbook has many great images from the film, and also includes the separate Advertising section. There is some minor chipping on several interior pages and minor spine stress, but these are otherwise in excellent condition. Very Fine+.

The Maltese Falcon (Warner Brothers, 1941). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
John Huston, a former screenwriter making his directorial debut, made his first film an adaptation of a Dashiell Hammett novel, already adapted twice for the screen in ten years. Fortunately, this third incarnation provided many more firsts: Humphrey Bogart's first breakout role in a performance that defined his Hollywood persona and rescued him from a career in "B" pictures; the first appearance of Sydney Greenstreet onscreen (fitting, since only the big screen would be big enough for the 300 lb. actor); and arguably the first film noir, as post-war French film critics would deem it. This title card features both Bogart and his co-star, Mary Astor. The card had a clean razor cut (with no paper loss) vertically through the entire card. It runs next to Astor's shoulder and through the left side of Bogart's face. It now is virtually invisible and the card appears in very clean condition. The card also displayed pinholes in the corners which are now imperceptible. It has been mounted on paper and has some airbrushing to the borders and lower credit area. Very Good on Paper.

The Maltese Falcon (Warner Brothers, 1941). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Although Dashiell Hammett's thrilling story - about private eye Sam Spade who finds himself caught up in a race to obtain a priceless artifact - had been filmed twice before, this is the version that is overwhelmingly considered definitive. Although Humphrey Bogart had been a leading man prior to this picture, it was his performance as Spade that catapulted him into the rarified ranks of superstardom. Additionally, this movie is considered one of the earliest examples of film noir to hit the theaters. The exceptional lobby card offered here, which features Bogart, Mary Astor, Sydney Greenstreet, and Elisha Cook Jr., has had expert restoration work done in the bottom left and right corners. Additionally, there are pinholes in the corners and several small holes in the image area. The quality of the restoration is excellent, and the card looks like a million bucks. Bid on this rare gem today. Very Good-.

Featured on the cover of Harper's March 1943 edition, Lauren Bacall gained the attention of Slim Hawks, wife of movie director Howard Hawks. Slim encouraged her husband to invite the 19-year-old model in for a screen test and as a result, Bacall was cast as Marie Browning in To Have and Have Not and the rest is history. This is perhaps the best card from this set and features the beautiful portrait of Humphrey Bogart and Bacall. The card had pinholes in the corners and field, which has been fixed with professional restoration. Fine/Very Fine.

To Have and Have Not (Warner Brothers, 1944). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Although the plot of this film - a laconic ship's captain, Harry Morgan (Humphrey Bogart), and his irrepressible sidekick Eddie (Walter Brennan), find themselves caught up in a web of political intrigue and deception in wartime Martinique - bears little resemblance to the Ernest Hemingway story that inspired it, it's still considered one of Bogie's best, and served to introduce the stunning Lauren Bacall to the movie-going world. Of course, Bogart and Bacall would quickly become one of Hollywood's most compelling and electrifying couples, both on and off screen. The wonderful lobby card offered here shows virtually all of the main cast members, including Bogart and Bacall. It has pinholes in the corners and borders, and some slight tanning in the extreme right border, but is otherwise in superb condition. Very Fine. *

The Big Sleep (Warner Brothers, 1946). Insert (14" X 36").
Based on the novel by Raymond Chandler, this Howard Hawks-directed production is arguably the most explosive and intense pairing of real-life husband and wife Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. In a complex tale involving jealousy, blackmail, and murder, Bogart plays private dick Philip Marlowe, hired by General Sternwood (Charles Waldron) to clear up some trouble his wayward youngest daughter Carmen (Martha Vickers) has gotten herself into. As it turns out, there's more to the case than meets the eye, including the General's older daughter, Vivian (Bacall). One of the highlights of Bogart's career, paper from this picture is highly desirable. This wonderful insert had minor fold wear, pinholes in the corners and image area, a tear in the right border, and a tear that extends from the bottom border through the lower photographic image of Bogart's face. Professional restoration has minimized these flaws, resulting in a poster that you will be proud to own and display. Very Good/Fine on Paper.

One of the most compelling detective stories ever told on film, The Big Sleep combines the talents of Raymond Chandler, William Faulkner, Howard Hawks, and husband and wife team-supreme, Humphrey Bogart, and Lauren Bacall.

Humphrey Bogart brilliantly plays the world-weary Frank McCloud who arrives at a Florida hotel to discover it has been taken over by gangster Johnny Rocco (Edward G. Robinson) and his minions. At first reluctant to get involved with the plight of the hotel owner James Temple (Lionel Barrymore) and his daughter-in-law Nora (Lauren Bacall), McCloud comes around to realize society needs to be rid of the Roccos of the world. A star-studded classic, John Huston directs these preeminent veteran actors, including Claire Trevor, in a gripping Oscar-winning performance as the down-and-out gangster moll, Gaye, through one of the best films of the noir genre. The poster had fold wear, pinpoint crossfold separations, and small tears at the left edge. It has been expertly restored, eliminating these minor issues. This great artwork features portraits of the stars, all legends of the silver screen. Very Fine on Linen.

Tempers flair and sparks fly when a group of people, including war vet Frank McCloud (Humphrey Bogart) and desperate gangster Johnny Rocco (Edward G. Robinson), find themselves stranded in a Florida hotel during a hurricane. Complicating matters is the presence of the wheelchair-bound hotel owner (Lionel Barrymore) and his beautiful daughter (Lauren Bacall). Based on Maxwell Anderson's successful Broadway play, this was to be the fourth and final on-screen pairing of real life couple, Bogart and Bacall. This is, by far, the better style half sheet on this title and was adapted for use on the British quad poster. The half sheet offered here had fold wear; additionally, three borders had been trimmed. Expert professional restoration has returned this poster to a like-new appearance, making it a gem that will be the centerpiece of any collection. Very Good+ on Paper.

From the collection of Artie Kern, A/V man to Oscar winning songwriter Sammy Cahn for many years, who was also personal lyricist to Frank Sinatra for almost fifty years. Kern was also Memorabilia Consultant to the Songwriters Hall of Fame Museum in New York City and many of his items were on display there from 1980-1985, until its closing. Sammy Cahn helped Mr. Kern obtain the autographs as he was president of the hall for over 17 years and almost all of the signatures were from his personal friends. Fine/Very Fine.

Confidential Agent (Warner Brothers, 1945). Italian Foglio (27.25" X 39.5").
A terrific cast, including Charles Boyer, Katina Paxinou, and Peter Lorre class up this slick spy thriller (from the novel by Graham Greene).

Dead Reckoning (Columbia, 1947). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style B.
This complex and engaging film noir features Humphrey Bogart as Rip Murdock, an ex-GI on the trail of his buddy's killer. Murdock ends up framed for another murder, forcing him to solve both crimes which somehow involve the beautiful Coral Chandler (Lizabeth Scott). Morris Carnovsky plays a crooked gambler who is part of the web of blackmail and murder. Director John Cromwell was a veteran of many successful cinema classics such as Of Human Bondage, Algiers, and Since You Went Away.

There was a small hole in the right border and a few small holes in the left border. It has been professionally restored and the linen has been trimmed to the edge of the poster. The fantastic image of Bogart and Scott is dramatic, and retains its rich, original colors. Fine+ on Linen.

Knock on Any Door (Columbia, 1949). Italian 2 - Folio (39" X 55").
When troubled teen Nick Romano (John Derek) finds himself on the wrong side of the law, he engages charismatic attorney Andrew Morton (Humphrey Bogart) to defend him. This film, with its memorable line, "Live fast, die young, and leave a good-looking corpse," laid the groundwork for director Nicholas Ray's JD masterpiece, Rebel without a Cause (1955). This striking poster, with art by noted Italian poster designer Anselmo Ballester, shows staining in the borders and in the image area, fold wear, and a chip in the bottom left corner; aside from mounting on linen, no restoration has been performed. Nevertheless, this is an extremely attractive poster that will be a welcome addition to any collection. Fine on Linen.

In a Lonely Place (Columbia, 1950). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
This Nicholas Ray-directed film noir thriller is regarded as one of star Humphrey Bogart's better films from his Columbia released Santana productions. Bogart's portrayal of short-tempered, possibly homicidal screenwriter Dixon Steele is regarded as one of his best later roles, encompassing most of the qualities that made Bogart the archetypal figure he remains today. The poster was already in exceptionally nice condition prior to being mounted on linen. Very Fine+ on Linen.

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (Warner Brothers, 1948). Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style A.
John Huston directed this classic adventure starring Humphrey Bogart, Walter Huston, Tim Holt, and Bruce Bennett. This was one of the first American films to be shot almost entirely on location outside the USA. John stated that working with his father Walter, and his dad's Best Supporting Actor Oscar win, were among the best moments of his life - and let's not forget that John himself won the Oscar for Best Director on this film. Even Steven Spielberg cited this as a strong influence for Indiana Jones when conceptualizing Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981). This half sheet features great art, and captures the film's exciting spirit very well. There is faint smudging on the right border, a light stain on the left border, and a crease on the bottom right corner. Rolled, Very Fine-.

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (Warner Brothers, R-1952). French Affiche (22.5" X 30.5").
A story of greed and paranoia, this classic story tells the tale of a group of desperate men (Humphrey Bogart, Walter Huston, and Tim McCoy) in search of gold in the remote hills of Mexico.

The African Queen (United Artists, 1952). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Most of this gripping adventure film was shot on location in Africa, which caused quite a few problems for director John Huston and stars Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn, but resulted in a brilliant and believable action classic. Bogart won his only Academy Award for his role as the alcoholic, but redeemable, Charlie Allnut, who leads the prim Rose Sayer (Hepburn) down the river to bomb a German gunboat during WWI. Prior to its professional restoration, this dramatic one sheet had a small chip in the lower right corner, pinholes in the corners of the field, and one on the right side. A colorful depiction of the beloved classic film, this is one exciting poster. Very Fine on Linen.

The African Queen (United Artists, 1952). Autographed Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Based on the novel by C. S. Forester and set during World War I, this is the story of grizzled, gin-swilling steamer captain Charlie Allnut (Humphrey Bogart) who offers to take stranded prim-and-proper missionary Rose Sayer (Katharine Hepburn) back to civilization. Their peaceful trip downriver soon turns into a harrowing adventure, however, when they hatch a plot to destroy a German gunboat. This exceptional title card, boldly signed by director John Huston, has pinholes in the corners and in the image area, soiling in the bottom right corner, and foxing in the borders, but is, overall, a beautiful and highly desirable piece. From the collection of Artie Kern, A/V man to Oscar-winning songwriter Sammy Cahn for many years, who was also personal lyricist to Frank Sinatra for almost fifty years. Kern was also Memorabilia Consultant to the Songwriters Hall of Fame Museum in New York City and many of his items were on display there from 1980 until 1985 when sadly it closed. Sammy Cahn helped Artie Kern obtain the autographs as he was president of the hall for over 17 years and almost all of the signatures were from his personal friends. Fine/Very Fine.

The Phantom of the Opera (Universal, 1925). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
A Universal "Super Jewel" for 1925, this was one of the studio's most lavish and impressive productions. Based on the novel by Gaston Leroux, about a mad "ghost" that haunts the Paris Opera House, this film stars Lon Chaney in perhaps his most famous and recognizable role. As the deformed Erik, Chaney brings a palpable sense of pathos to the character that makes the entire film absolutely unforgettable. Offered here is a great lobby card from the original release of this picture, featuring Arthur Edmund Carewe and Norman Kerry as they search the labyrinth of sewers below the Opera House for the deranged Erik. The card has a small tear in the top border, a tear in the right border, and tape on the reverse, but is otherwise extremely clean and attractive. Paper from this title is very rare and highly desirable, so you'll want to get your bid in on this beauty today! Very Fine+.

Laugh, Clown, Laugh (MGM, 1928). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
In this touching reworking of the Pagliaci story, Lon Chaney plays Tito, an aging clown who falls in love with Simonetta (Loretta Young), a young woman whom he helped to raise. Unfortunately, she is in love with the dashing and aristocratic Count Luigi Ravelli, forcing Tito to chose between his happiness and hers. Although Young had made several uncredited and minor performances in movies prior to this, Laugh, Clown, Laugh, made when she was a mere 15 years old, is widely considered to be her real debut picture. This wonderful lobby card, picturing Chaney, Young, and Asther, shows pinholes in the corners, surface paper loss and light foxing in the right border, and a tiny nick in the top right corner. These are extremely minor flaws, however, none of which detract overmuch from this very attractive, and highly collectible, piece. Very Fine-.

The Unholy Three (MGM, 1930). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
This "talkie" remake of the Tod Browning's 1925 film by the same name featured the same leading actor, beloved audience favorite, Lon Chaney. Sadly, this would end up being Chaney's final movie, though the first and only one in which moviegoers would hear his voice. This intense lobby features the title characters in what looks to be a rather serious moment. The film also featured Harry Earles in a leading role, who would go on to star in Freaks in 1932, his final movie. There are pinholes in the corners, a small smudge in the right border, some surface paper loss on the left border, and corner bumps. Fine/Very Fine.

The Unholy Three (MGM, 1930). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
In this classic silent film, three sideshow performers, including ventriloquist Professor Echo (Lon Chaney), strongman Hercules (Victor McLaglen), and Tweedledee, the dwarf (Harry Earles) turn their talents to a life of crime in a scam involving a bird store and Chaney's impersonation of a kindly old grandmother. Directed by the great Tod Browning, who directed some of Chaney's best pictures, this movie was a remake of the 1925 silent version, and is Lon's first - and sadly only - talking picture. Chaney mugs with Rosie O'Grady on this sublime lobby card. Pinholes in the corners, minor corner bumps, and a small smudge in the top border are the only minor condition issues. Very Fine.

Lon Chaney reprises his leading role in the "talkie" remake of the 1925 movie. This endearing lobby card features Elliott Nugent with co-star Lila Lee in a romantic moment. The "Man of 1000 Faces" was poised to become the "Man of 1000 Voices" had his career continued on, but Chaney passed away shortly after making this film, making it the only time fans would hear him on screen. While mostly known as a visual "horror" actor, this film showed diversification as a vocal talent as well, and remains an interesting end to his impressive career. There are pinholes in the corners, and a smudge in the right border. Very Fine.

White Zombie (United Artists, 1932). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
Bela Lugosi, in this chilling film, gives one of his best performances as the aptly-named Murder Legendre, an inscrutable man who holds sway over the natives in his Haitian stronghold. When a wealthy man enlists Legendre's aid to gain the hand of a woman who has refused him, Legendre hatches a plan to kill the girl and resurrect her as a zombie. Poster collectors are aware of the high degree of difficulty involved in finding paper on this title; of all the horror movies from the 1930s, this is one of the hardest films from which to find anything. This mesmerizing and beautiful half sheet is one of two known copies, and is reportedly the better condition-wise of the two. The poster was folded and had very minimal fold wear. There was a chip out of the left center border which extended 1.5" into the purple background of Lugosi's shoulder. There was a small chip from the upper right corner within the border only. The beautiful archival restoration is impeccable, assuring that it will display magnificently for the life of the piece. As with all posters that Heritage auctions, we guarantee the authenticity of the material and this poster comes with a certification by the restoration specialist, Carol Tincup. Fine+ on Paper.

White Zombie (United Artists, 1932). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
These days "zombie" movies are dramatically different from what they used to be. Back in the day there were themes of voodoo rituals rather than toxic contamination. But it all began with White Zombie, starring the ever-engaging Bela Lugosi as a sort of witch doctor and leader of the zombies in question. Shot in only eleven days, the film was quite successful in its time, though unfortunately, Lugosi wasn't appropriately compensated for his role considering the box office profits. These cards are extremely rare, and should not be overlooked by any discerning horror collector. This particular card features Lugosi very much in his element, surrounded by his minions, a great representation of the film. There are pinholes in the corners and borders, some light foxing in the bottom border, paper tape on the reverse, and very slight surface paper loss in the top left and bottom right corners. Fine+.

Bela Lugosi and his zombies appear on this atmospheric card from the movie White Zombie, an ever so appropriate representation of the cult classic horror picture.

There are pinholes in the center and borders, a .25" trim along the top border, and a small tear on the bottom border. Despite these defects, this is a very rare and desirable card. Very Good/Fine.

Lionel Atwill and Fay Wray had proved a box office bonanza in Doctor X (1932), and their follow-up film, Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933), was already being heavily promoted. Majestic Pictures decided to cash in and rush this film, about a series of murders supposedly committed by a race of human-like bats, into production to capitalize on the popularity of its stars. The result is a thoroughly enjoyable film, heavy on atmosphere and suspense. Paper from this film is extremely popular with collectors. The glossy finish lobby card offered here is in exceptional condition; only a light corner crease in the top left keeps it from an even higher grade. Very Fine+.

Majestic Pictures decided to cash in and rush this film, about a series of murders supposedly committed by a race of human-like bats, into production to capitalize on the popularity of its stars. The result is a thoroughly enjoyable film, heavy on atmosphere and suspense. Paper from this film is extremely popular with collectors. The glossy finish lobby card offered here is in exceptional condition; only a light corner crease in the top left keeps it from an even higher grade. Very Fine+.
King Kong (RKO, 1933). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
This classic film, destined to become one of the most popular and iconic pictures of all time, is credited with saving RKO from utter bankruptcy. Featuring outstanding special effects by Willis O'Brien, this is the story of giant gorilla, ripped from his home on an mysterious island, and brought to America, where he is exhibited as "The Eighth Wonder of the World." Starring Robert Armstrong, Bruce Cabot, and Fay Wray, the film grossed more than $90,000 in its first weekend, the biggest opening ever to that time. Not surprisingly, paper from this film is extremely rare and highly sought after, especially pieces from the original release, like the card offered here. This outstanding piece shows some very light staining in the top border and some light fading, but is otherwise as clean and attractive as the day it was printed. We're confident that this piece is going to inspire some spirited bidding, so get in on the action today! Fine+.

King Kong (RKO, R-1938). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Kong towers above the city in this impressive lobby from the 1938 re-release. The models built of Kong for the island scenes were 18 inches high, but the New York scenes implemented a new 24-inch version, therefore making our furry friend 6 feet taller for his city scenes. The film went through several title changes before settling on King Kong, including "The Beast" (its original title), "The Eighth Wonder", "The Ape", "King Ape", and just simply "Kong"... can you imagine this classic going by any other name? There are pinholes in the corners and borders, some edge wear, chips in the top and bottom left corners, a tear in the top border, a small hold in the lower border, and a smudge in the bottom right corner. These defects do not detract from the overall presentation of this card, which is still very strong. Very Good/Fine on Paper.

King Kong (RKO, R-1938). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
This lobby features Kong on top of the Empire State Building, fighting off the attacking airplanes as they fly by - definitely a card that hardcore fans of the film can appreciate. Fay Wray, Robert Armstrong, and Bruce Cabot helped make this classic epic an indelible gem. RKO pictures was apparently on the verge of bankruptcy when King Kong came out in 1933, but it has long been rumored this film may be what saved them, and considering its box office success that would certainly be believable. There are pinholes in the corners and borders, chipping in the bottom right border, a bottom right corner chip, and a tear on the bottom border. Fine+ on Paper.

King Kong (RKO, R-1946). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Fay Wray, Robert Armstrong, and Bruce Cabot starred in this classic, but the headliner was easily Kong himself. This fantastic lobby spotlights our furry friend battling a dinosaur in the jungle, all while Wray looks on from a tree top. This was a reteaming of Fay Wray and Robert Armstrong, who shot jungle scenes together in the exact same location used for King Kong just one year earlier in The Most Dangerous Game. Producer David O. Selznick left RKO Pictures halfway through the production of this film, but not before changing the name of the film from Kong to King Kong - this would be his last act of business for the studio. There are pinholes in the borders, edge wear in the bottom border, a top right corner bend, light creasing in the top border, paper tape on the reverse, and a small tear on the bottom border. These defects do not detract from the overall appearance of this superb card, which to this day is rather impressive. Fine/Very Fine.

King Kong (RKO, R-1956). One Sheet (27" X 41").
A triumph of a movie; both technically and artistically, this is one of the most highly-regarded films ever made. The story, about a showman (Robert Armstrong) who travels to a remote island to find the greatest attraction of all time and returns to civilization with Kong, The Eighth Wonder of the World, is exciting enough, but when paired with the brilliant stop-motion animation effects of genius technician Willis O'Brien, it's easy to see why this picture has remained a fan-favorite for more than seven decades. Of course, paper from this title is extremely popular with collectors, who are eager to snatch up anything they can find. This beautiful re-release poster is sure to prove no exception. It is in superb condition; only our strict policy of not awarding a grade higher than Very Fine+ to posters mounted on linen keep us from giving an even higher grade to this rare and desirable beauty.

King Kong (RKO, 1933). French Pressbook (14.75" X 10.75").
Just when you think you have every King Kong collectible possible, along comes this superb French pressbook, with a fantastic comic book-ish image of Kong on the cover, and cool ad art within, most of it completely different than the American paper. We're especially fond of the too-cute stuffed Kong dolls being offered on the last page. This is our first opportunity to offer this ape-tastic pressbook to every Kong fan out there. It has light overall wear, and was folded horizontally, with some resulting fold wear. There is also some very light tanning along the spine, and creasing in the top right corner, all of which is only evident on close examination; the book presents beautifully. Very Fine+.

Son of Kong (RKO, 1933). Window Card (14" X 22").
In this sequel to the classic King Kong (1933), Carl Denham (Robert Armstrong) tries to escape his legal and financial troubles by setting sail. Unfortunately, a mutiny lands him right back on Skull Island, where he finds Kong's good-natured offspring, nicknamed Kiko. Lighter in tone than its predecessor, this is a fun movie that has held up well over the years. Because the film was rushed into production to take advantage of the box office success of the original, paper on this title is scarce. This lovely window card had wrinkling on Kiko's leg; the title area, the credits area, and the red background have been airbrushed. The professional restoration work performed is top notch, and this card displays quite well as a result. The image itself is superb, making this a great piece for anyone on the long search to find paper from this difficult title. Good/Very Good on Cardstock.

Striking artwork highlights this rare and amazing RKO original 1943 poster for the Val Lewton produced horror classic starring James Ellison, Frances Dee, and Tom Conway. Jacques Tourneur directed this film, as he did several other of Lewton's imaginative features for RKO Studios. Brilliant color and moody lighting makes this image jump out at you! The poster has been signed by Frances Dee and had minor fold wear with slight crossfold separations, edge wear on the left border, and a chip and tear in the bottom left corner. The linen has been trimmed to the border. From the Thomas Long Collection. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

The Curse of the Cat People (RKO, 1944). Insert (14" X 36") and Lobby Cards (2) (11" X 14").
This in-name-only sequel to Cat People (1942) follows an imaginative but lonely child named Amy (Ann Carter) who conjures an imaginary friend in the form of her father's deceased first wife (Simone Simon). The original director was replaced, and Robert Wise stepped in to complete filming, his first directorial credit. Offered here is a cornucopia of Cat-stuff, including the superb insert poster (pinholes at the top center, bend in the top left corner, a tear in the right border), and two excellent lobby cards (pinholes, border smudges and small tears, corner bends, top two corners clipped on one card). Don't miss out on this spooky special. The insert poster is folded. Fine-.

Isle of the Dead (RKO, 1945). One Sheet (27" X 41").
This atmospheric film marked the first collaboration between horror icon Boris Karloff, who plays General Nikolas Pherides, and esteemed producer Val Lewton. When Pherides visits the gravesite of his late wife on a remote island, he finds the grave desecrated, and the island in the grip of an inhuman monster. The dramatic one sheet offered here shows pinholes in the corners, borders, and image area, crossfold separation, and clear tape on the reverse, but these slight flaws do nothing to detract from the overwhelming appeal of this fantastic gem. You know you want this one! Very Fine-.

The Body Snatcher (RKO, 1945). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi join forces once again for this RKO horror classic, loosely based on a story by Robert Louis Stevenson. Val Lewton, producer of such cult classics as Cat People and I Walked with a Zombie, helped adapt the screenplay with Robert Wise directing. Dr. Wolfe MacFarlane (Henry Daniell) is a surgeon experimenting on corpses, dug up by his henchman John Gray (Karloff). In order to keep getting paid, and to provide the freshest corpses, Gray turns to murder, with dire consequences for all. This one sheet had small edge chips in the right and left, pinholes in the corners, and a chip at the bottom border with a tear. After professional restoration, these issues are no longer apparent, leaving the one sheet with an amazing appearance. With its ghoulish artwork of Karloff, this terrific one sheet will make a prized possession for any horror buff. Fine+ on Linen.

Bedlam (RKO, 1946). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
This is the story of Master George Sims (Boris Karloff), head of the infamous insane asylum, St. Mary's of Bethlehem, colloquially known as Bedlam. Produced by Val Lewton, this is an exquisite piece of period horror, and was one of Karloff's personal favorites. The gorgeous three sheet offered here has pinholes in the corners and borders, crossfold separation, clear tape on the reverse, light edge wear, a tear in the bottom portion of the top panel, light wrinkling, and some smudging in the borders.

The Man Who Lived Again (Gaumont, 1936). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Originally released as The Man Who Changed His Mind, this taut thriller tells the story of Dr. Laurience, whose experiments in brain switching go horribly wrong. The script was written, in part, by John L. Balderston, who also supplied the screenplay for Karloff's first hit, Frankenstein (1931). This highly desirable stone litho one sheet has pinholes in the corners and image area, crossfold separation, clear tape on the reverse, and some slight glue residue in the title area where a snipe was at one time applied.

Night Key (Universal, 1937). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Screen legend Boris Karloff, mostly known for his role as Frankenstein's Monster, also played a wide variety of characters in many other genres. In the crime thriller Night Key from the "New" Universal Studios, he starred as an aging inventor of burglar alarm systems that gets kidnapped by a gang of criminals to help them accomplish their various heists. This moody poster, while not in the horror category per se, maintains the moodiness fans came to expect from Karloff thrillers. Prior to restoration, there were pinholes in the corners, and small bits of paper loss in the folds. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

The Ape (Monogram, 1940). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Kindly Dr. Adrian (Boris Karloff) won't let a little thing like a lack of human spinal fluid stop his research into finding a cure for polio. So he does what any self-respecting mad scientist would do... he dons an ape skin and proceeds to recruit spinal fluid "donors" by force. As Karloff's contract with Monogram was up after this picture, the studio made the followup, The Ape Man, with Bela Lugosi in 1943. This exquisite poster shows foxing in the top left, light edge wear, creasing in the top border, and pinholes in the corners, but is still extremely attractive and desirable. Fine/Very Fine.

The Man with Nine Lives (Columbia, 1940). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Nobody could do horror like Boris Karloff! The great actor made several films with roles similar to this one: a deranged doctor, Dr. Leon Kravaal, attempts to cure cancer by freezing his patients. When he himself is accidentally frozen, then thawed years later, he goes mad experimenting on his victims in order to re-create his original formula. Roger Pryor and Jo Ann Sayers co-star in this dark tale of greed and madness. The poster has fold wear, corner pinholes, and minor crossfold separations. It has been mounted on linen, which is trimmed to the edges of the poster, but no other restoration work has been done. The spectacular artwork makes this outstanding poster a very desirable item.

The Man They Could Not Hang (Columbia, 1939). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Dr. Henryk Savaard (Boris Karloff) has perfected a radical new medical technique, but his first human trial goes terribly awry, leading to the death of his subject and Savaard's arrest and conviction for murder. Before he dies, Savaard arranges for his new procedure to be used on him after death, thereby reviving him and sending the formerly sane doctor on a rampage of revenge. The highly desirable one sheet offered here has light wrinkling in the left border, slight creasing in the bottom border, and several instances of clear tape on the reverse. Other than these minor flaws, the poster is in great shape, ready to take an honored place in your collection. Very Fine+.

Before I Hang (Columbia, 1940). Insert (14" X 36").
In an interesting twist on the Jekyll and Hyde formula, Dr. John Garth (Boris Karloff), sentenced to death for a mercy killing, develops a serum to retard aging while in prison and uses himself as a guinea pig. Although the serum works, and Garth grows younger, it also drives him mad, a situation that poses real problems when he is eventually released. Widely considered one of Karloff's best "mad doctor" films, it is represented here by this vibrant insert. It shows pinholes in the corners and in the image area, a stain in the right border, fold wear, chips in the left and lower right borders, a corner bend in the lower left, and a scuff in the credits area. It has been mounted on paper, it is otherwise largely unrestored. This is an exceptional piece that will no doubt be an important addition to some lucky collection. Fine/Very Fine on Paper.

The Devil Commands (Columbia, 1941). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
Boris Karloff stars as Dr. Julian Blair, a scientist who tries to contact his dead wife through the power of electricity with horrific results.

The Mummy (Universal, 1932). Swedish One Sheet (27.5" X 39.5").
There's no doubting this is the greatest Mummy movie ever made, and it's definitely one of Boris Karloff's most memorable performances. The atmospheric film spawned a series of imitators, though none ever came close to the impact and quality of this masterpiece. Through the years posters for The Mummy have broken auction records, with imagery that is lovely and coveted by collectors. This Swedish version is nothing short of spectacular, featuring brilliant color and stunning artwork that is extremely different from what many are used to seeing. This is the finest version you're likely to ever see of this poster, which is extremely rare, so don't let the sands of time run out before you bid like an Egyptian king on this gem. There was some fold wear, edge wear on two borders, and a piece missing on the lower border. Fantastic artwork by Huitberg Reklamatelje. Fine+ on Linen.

The Mummy's Curse (Universal, 1944). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Lon Chaney Jr. first embodied the role of Kharis the Mummy in The Mummy's Tomb (1942). The Mummy's Curse was the third and final time Chaney would portray the character, this time set in the rural bayous of Louisiana. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this picture is that many of The Mummy films were established to have a specific passage of time, with The Mummy's Hand taking place in 1940, and The Mummy's Tomb and The Mummy's Ghost taking place "30 years" later, therefore The Mummy's Curse saying "25 years later" would technically set it in the 1990's. It should also be noted that the mask worn by Chaney in this film is the only surviving piece done by makeup artist extraordinaire Jack Pierce. There are pinholes in the corners, and a light smudge on the right border. A great lobby card with sharp colors, depicting classic Universal monster mayhem. Very Fine.

The final film in Universal's Mummy cycle features Lon Chaney Jr. returning as Kharis, who, with the aid of an intense Martin Kosleck, scores some tanna leaves and resumes his hunt for a long-dead love (Virginia Christine). This sharply-detailed lobby card has terrific color and good clarity. Condition issues are minor, and include pinholes in the corners, a light smudge in the right border, and paper tape on the reverse. Very Fine-.

Murders in the Rue Morgue (Universal, 1932). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
When Bela Lugosi was released from his highly-publicized role in Frankenstein (1931) in favor of a largely unknown character actor named Boris Karloff, he took on this project with director Robert Florey, who had been slated to direct the film version of Mary Shelley's classic until he was replaced with James Whale. The result was a truly horrifying film that plays like Edgar Allan Poe crossed with The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919). In order to prove his theories regarding the relationship between apes and humans, carnival sideshow entertainer cum mad scientist Dr. Mirakle (Lugosi) kidnaps attractive young prostitutes from the streets of Paris and injects them with ape blood. He soon realizes, however, that his efforts will not bear fruit until he is able to perform his experiments on a virgin, so he sets his sights on the lovely Camille (Sidney Fox), framing her boyfriend (Leon Waycoff) for the crime in the process. The scene portrayed in the lobby card offered here, of one of the prostitutes being brutally tortured by Mirakle, was frequently cut from release prints of the picture, as censors obviously found it too intense. It is, however, a great scene, and it is graphically portrayed here on this exceedingly rare card. The card is in remarkable shape, with only pinholes in the corners, a small tear in the left border, a crease in the top left corner, and small smudges in the borders and title areas keeping it from an even higher grade. These slight flaws are barely noticeable, save under extremely close scrutiny, making this a beautiful and highly displayable piece that will no doubt be an honored addition to some advanced collection.

The Black Cat (Universal, 1934). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style B.
In 1931, Universal Studios found their niche in the motion picture industry, creating a style of film that would propel them well into the next decade. With the release of Dracula early in the year, and Frankenstein near year's end, Universal became known for their chilling gothic horror films. It was a trend that would continue with the release of such genre classics as The Invisible Man (1932), The Mummy (1933), The Black Cat (1934), The Bride of Frankenstein (1935) and The Wolf Man (1941). As important as the movies, however, were the two actors who portrayed the Transylvanian Count and the Man-Made Monster, Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff. Both had worked as contract players since the silent era, and both were instantly elevated to the realm of superstar by these career-defining roles. Since the passing of the great Lon Chaney in 1930, Universal had searched for a replacement for the man who had sent thrills and chills up and down the spines of movie-goers in such memorable films as The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923) and The Phantom of the Opera (1925). Now they had found not one, but two, horror megastars. It didn't take studio brass long to realize that if one horror star was good, two would be better, so they planned several films that would feature the popular duo- The Black Cat being the first of eight. The Black Cat tells the story of Peter and Joan Allison (David Manners and Julie Bishop as Jacqueline Wells), a young couple on their honeymoon who find themselves the inadvertent guests of famed architect Hjalmar Poelzig (Karloff), former head of a World War I prisoner of war camp and the current leader of a Satanic cult. Accompanying the Allisons is Dr. Vitus Verdegast (Lugosi), a survivor of Poelzig's camp. During Verdegast's internment, Poelzig stole both Verdegast's wife and his daughter, and now cat-phobic Vitus is back for revenge and must play a game of chess for Allison's soul. . What follows is a bizarre mix of horror, sadism, necrophilia, and Satanism that marks one of the most chilling and atmospheric pictures ever released. The Black Cat contains some of the most unsettling scenes of any classic Universal horror film and is considered the darkest and is very disturbing, even by today's standards. The scene of Karloff reciting the Black Mass in Latin is especially ominous. How this one got past the Hays Office is anyone's guess as censors in Italy, Finland and Austria banned the movie outright, while others required cuts of the more gruesome sequences! The film is written and directed by Edgar G. Ulmer, who served as set designer for such Expressionist masterpieces as Der Golem: wie er in die Welt kam (1920), Die Niebelungen (1924), Metropolis (1927), and M (1931) in his native Germany before emigrating to the U.S. His attention to set detail is evident in every frame of this visually stunning film, which borrows inspiration from both the Bauhaus and Art Deco movements.
When the film was released, it quickly became Universal's biggest hit 1934, and ensured future Karloff/Lugosi pairings. Although the iconic pair would make several more films together, none reached the level of utter perfection demonstrated in this classic from the Golden Age of Universal Horror.
It should come as no surprise, then, that paper from this Universal horror masterpiece is in very high demand. Unfortunately, the supply is incredibly limited. Although there are four copies known to exist of the Style-D "blue" poster - Heritage sold a copy in March 2007 for $286,800 - this is the only known example of this extremely powerful and more horrific, striking Style-B one sheet which happens to be even more rare than one sheets for the other Golden Age Universal Studio horror giants of the day - Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Bride of Frankenstein - and is at least every bit as great in the world of serious movie poster collectors. There are so few vintage horror posters which have never surfaced and aside from a very small black and white illustration in the advertising campaign press book, this poster has never been seen before in real life-till now, in all of it's colorful and chilling glory! Considering it's mega cult status among Universal horror aficionados, combined with it's stunning bold, dynamic colors that seem to leap from the paper and the superb stone lithography printing and artwork including Karloff's embodiment of the Devil incarnate, Heritage believes this is one of the greatest posters to ever come to auction. Absolutely immaculate and unrestored, this poster is virtually defect-free, without even a single pinhole, with only a tiny edge tear or two, keeping this one of a kind and priceless gem from an even higher grade. Once this incredible piece goes into a collection, it seems unlikely that another will ever surface! From the Todd Feiertag Collection. Near Mint+.

Dracula (Realart, R-1951). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
At the beginning of the 1930s, movie studios were becoming known for certain kinds of pictures: MGM released the greatest musicals, Warner Brothers was known for their hard-hitting "social problem" dramas, etc. Desperate to keep up, Carl Laemmle, head of Universal Studios, was looking for something to set his studio apart, when this movie handed him the solution to his worries on a silver platter. With the release of Dracula on February 12, 1931, the Golden Age of Universal Horror was born, and Laemmle's studio would spend the next 15+ years scaring the pants off of audiences world-wide. Offered here is a great halfsheet from the Realart re-release of this classic film. It had fold wear with crossfold separation, a missing bottom right corner, small holes in the top border, and a tear in the bottom left border, but expert professional restoration has addressed all of these minor issues. You'll go batty for this amazing poster! Very Good on Paper.

Dracula's Daughter (Universal, 1936). Insert (14" X 36").
After the enormous success of Dracula (1931), Universal was hot to make a sequel, and capitalize on the popularity of their new horror star, Bela Lugosi, and quickly signed the entire cast of the first movie for the follow-up. Unfortunately for the studio, the sequel languished in development hell for several years, as they were unable to find a satisfactory treatment (it's reported that James Whale submitted an outline, but that his ideas were too bizarre and outrageous for the studio to consider). Eventually, a treatment was agreed upon, but long after the cast's contracts had expired (nevertheless, due to a "play or pay" clause in his agreement, Lugosi was paid for a film in which he never appeared). The result was this creepy classic, starring Gloria Holden as the daughter of the Transylvanian Count, who seeks out a noted psychiatrist (Otto Kruger) to help cure her strange addiction to human blood. Offered here is a glorious insert for this fan-favorite film. It had pinholes in the borders, fold wear, a small chip in the top right corner, and a hole in the black area at the top, but expert professional restoration has thoroughly addressed all these issues, making it a great addition to any collection. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

The Invisible Man (Realart, R-1951). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Claude Rains brought a distinctive voice and screen presence to the H. G. Wells character, The Invisible Man. James Whale directs this classic horror tale, which also features Gloria Stuart. This was the first movie with sound for Rains, who up until this point was primarily a stage actor. The studio had originally hoped for Boris Karloff to play the lead, but he turned down the role due to lack of face time on screen. Whale was looking for a more "intelligent" voice, and chose Rains by accident after hearing him in a screen test played from another room. Clearly (no pun intended) the right choice was made. There was some fold wear with chips, pinholes in the image area, chips in the borders, and a small tear in the top center, but it should be noted the restoration was beautifully done. Very Good/Fine on Linen.

The Invisible Man Returns (Universal, 1940). Title Lobby Card and Lobby Card (11" X 14").
When Geoffrey Radcliffe (Vincent Price) is framed for murder, he ingests a serum developed by Jack Griffin (played by Claude Rains in The Invisible Man [1933]), that renders him invisible. Now free to find the real killer and clear his name, Radcliffe must race against time before the serum drives him mad, as it did to Griffin before him. This was Price's first appearance in a horror film, a genre that he would shortly make his own. Offered here are two cards from the lobby set: the title card and one scene card. They have pinholes, small tears and chips in the borders, and corners bends. In spite of these slight flaws, they are very rare and desirable cards that any collector will be proud to own. Fine.

The Invisible Man Returns (Universal, 1940). Lobby Cards (3) (11" X 14").
This sequel to 1933's The Invisible Man was directed by Joe May, who was one of the founders of the German cinema and had an impressive career during the industry's Expressionist period in the 1920s before emigrating to America in the early 1930s. Perhaps May's greatest contribution to world cinema was giving Fritz Lang his start in the business, as Lang would become one of the great auteurs of the first half of the twentieth century. Offered here are three lobby cards from this, May's single foray into the realm of Universal Horror, including one card that shows star Vincent Price wrapped in the telltale bandages. The cards have pinholes in the borders and image area, and corner bends. These minor flaws notwithstanding, these are beautiful cards that will occupy a proud place in your collection. Fine+.

The Invisible Man Returns (Universal, 1940). Lobby Cards (3) (11" X 14").
In this, his fourth film, Vincent Price already receives star billing after turning in outstanding performances in Service Deluxe (1938), The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex (1939), and Tower of London (1939). His first horror film, Price wouldn't return to the genre until 1953 - with House of Wax - but would soon thereafter become one of horror's leading icons. Offered here are three highly desirable lobby cards from this fan-favorite movie. The cards have pinholes in the corners, scuffs, corner bumps, and bends in the corners. In spite of these minor flaws, these are great cards that any collector will covet. Fine.

The Invisible Ray (Universal, 1936). Pre-War Australian Daybill (15" X 40").
This film marked the third collaboration between horror icons Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi. In this atmospheric picture, Dr. Janos Rukh (Karloff) invents a powerful ray that he intends to use to benefit mankind. Unfortunately, it is powered by the rare element Radium X, so Rukh - along with fellow scientist Dr. Benet (Bela Lugosi) - travels to Africa to find the elusive material. Exposure to Radium X slowly turns Rukh mad, in addition to giving him a killing touch, sending him on a killing spree that comes to a tragic conclusion. The attractive daybill offered here had foldwear with some tearing and paper loss, a tear in the right side that extends into the image area, a chip in the right border, and a pinhole in the top imprint area, but these slight flaws have been thoroughly addressed by expert professional restoration, returning this beauty to a like-new appearance. Here's your chance to own a great piece from a classic Universal Horror film! Fine on Linen.

Werewolf of London (Universal, 1935). Window Card (14" X 22").
From the golden age of Universal Horror comes one of the most terrifying cinema monsters -- the Werewolf of London, played brilliantly by Henry Hull.

The Wolf Man (Universal, 1941). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
Lon Chaney, Jr. made his mark in the cinema with this entry in the Universal horror series. Under Jack Pierce's incredible makeup, Chaney became the screen's greatest werewolf. Although lobbies and one sheets have turned up over the years, this half sheet poster is exceptionally scarce. This poster has had moderate restoration with airbrushing to the borders,and background, and retouch all along the fold lines. There was a piece missing from the upper right corner that has been replaced. This work has given it a very nice appearance. From the Kirk Hammett Collection. Very Good/Fine on Paper.

Son of Frankenstein (Universal, 1939). Turkish Poster (27.5" X 39.5").
This classic Universal Horror movie marked the last time that Boris Karloff played the Frankenstein monster in a feature film. It also introduced the character of Ygor, brilliantly played by Bela Lugosi, who would be an integral part of this picture and the next. Although not as dark as the previous two films, which were directed by James Whale, this picture has a more polished air, making it a fitting addition to the Frankenstein franchise. Offered here is the rare and highly desirable Turkish poster, boasting exceptional graphics. It had fold wear and crossfold separation, and a small chip in the left border, but expert professional restoration has returned this gorgeous poster to a like-new appearance. Very Fine- on Linen.

Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (Universal, 1943). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
Starring Bela Lugosi and Lon Chaney, Jr., this is one of the most popular pictures from the Golden Age of Universal Horror, and was the first time that the studio's biggest creatures had met in the same movie. It was a formula that the studio would repeat until the franchise came to an end in 1948. Offered here is a very rare and highly desirable half sheet from this fan-favorite movie. It shows fold wear, edge wear with tears, a few pinholes in the image area, corner bends, and a hint of fading, but is still an extremely attractive, unrestored and collectible piece, one that you will certainly be proud to own. From the Kirk Hammett Collection. Very Good on Paper.

House of Frankenstein (Universal, 1944). Insert (14" X 36").
As their various monster series started to wind down, some genius as Universal hit on the idea of doing a "team-up" film with some of their most popular monsters. The result was House of Frankenstein, featuring Karloff as mad scientist Dr. Niemann, John Carradine as Dracula, Lon Chaney Jr. as the Wolf Man, J. Carrol Naish as the hunchback, and Glenn Strange as the Monster. This superb insert poster has all the great monster faces, with a classic damsel in distress scenario. There were pinholes in the corners and field, a long tear in the lower right area in the credits, fold wear and extra creasing in the credits area, all of which has been addressed with professional restoration. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (Universal International, 1948). One Sheet (27" X 41").
By 1948, finally free of the terrors of World War II, America was ready to laugh again, and largely turned away from the monster films that had been a staple a decade before. To say goodbye to one genre while ushering in the next, Universal teamed their most famous scary-men - Frankenstein's monster (Glenn Strange), Dracula (Bela Lugosi), and the Wolf Man (Lon Chaney Jr.) - with their most popular funny-men - Bud Abbott and Lou Costello - in this classic creature comedy. Consequently, paper from this title is extremely popular with both comedy and horror collectors. The stunning example offered here, which shows great color, has pinholes in the borders and a couple in the image area and a tear in the bottom border with museum tape on the reverse but is otherwise clean, attractive, and highly displayable. This will be an important addition to any collection. Very Fine+.

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (Universal International, 1948). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
One of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello's funniest movies, this star-studded vehicle also marked the end of the Golden Age of Universal Horror. Gathering all their classic creeps together for one final bow - including Glenn Strange as Frankenstein's Monster, Lon Chaney Jr. as the Wolf Man, and Bela Lugosi as Dracula (the second and last time he played his signature character) - the studio pulled out all the stops with this side-splitting comedy. Consequently, paper from this title is coveted by both A&C and horror collectors. Offered here is a great card showing Costello alongside Chaney in all his hirsute glory. It had pinholes in the corners, light edge wear in the bottom border, and a light smudge in the bottom center; minor restoration, professionally done, has returned this card to a like-new appearance. Guaranteed original lobby card from this title! Very Fine-.

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (Universal International, 1948). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
What's better than Bud Abbott and Lou Costello? How about the boys starring side by side with horror legends Lon Chaney Jr., Bela Lugosi, and Glenn Strange! Originally titled Bud Abbott and Lou Costello Meet Frankenstein, this fun picture from 1948 has become a cherished classic. The boys play a couple of witless freight handlers who just happen to stumble upon Dracula, the Frankenstein Monster, and the Wolf Man. Talk about your bad days! But with Bud and Lou, you know the laughs will overpower the screams. It was the last time Bela Lugosi would play Dracula in a feature film, and the final Universal film to feature Frankenstein's Monster, Dracula, and the Wolf Man... until Van Helsing in 2004. Oddly enough, regardless of what the title tells us, no one in the movie ever actually meets Frankenstein, as all of the interaction is with the monster. The card is in excellent shape, with no major defects to note - an exquisite example from a vintage Hollywood comedy. Very Fine/Near Mint.

Creature From the Black Lagoon (Universal International, 1954). Lobby Card Set of 8 (11" X 14").
In 1954, Universal revived the moribund horror genre with this landmark film. A group of scientists embark on an expedition down the Amazon in search of the remains of a half-human, half-amphibian "Gill Man." Instead of a pile of bones, they find instead a very active and alive specimen that takes a shine to the one female member of the crew, the lovely Kay Lawrence (Julie Adams). One of the most significant films of the 1950s, paper from this title is always avidly sought after. This particular lobby card set is in exquisite condition.

Revenge of the Creature (Universal International, 1955). Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style A.
Oh, the indignity! The mighty Gill-Man, once the lord of the Black Lagoon, is captured by scientists and installed in an aquarium in Florida, forced to perform for gaping tourists. Of course, this situation does not end well. As a bonus for film fans, Clint Eastwood makes his first screen appearance in this picture, as a white-coated lab assistant. This exquisite half sheet had an abrasion in the center, smudging and tearing in the borders, and a small hole in the girl's neck, but expert professional restoration has returned this poster to a like-new appearance. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Revenge of the Creature (Universal International, 1955). One Sheet (27" X 41").
The Gill-Man returns for a second outing, as the Creature from the Black Lagoon is captured and brought to civilization, where there are lots more people to chase and maul. Still, all this misunderstood monster really wants is to get back to his beloved black lagoon. Jack Arnold directs this action-packed follow-up to the original Creature, with John Agar and Lori Nelson looking good in swimwear. Fantastic Reynold Brown artwork highlights this classic one sheet, a must for any science fiction fan. A nice unrestored/unmounted sheet, this has pinholes in the corners, small tears at some of the fold lines, pinpoint crossfold separations, a small hole in the field at the top right, and some very small border holes, none of which detracts from this creature-rific masterpiece. Very Fine-.

Revenge of the Creature (Universal International, 1955). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
Jack Arnold directs this first sequel to his own The Creature From the Black Lagoon with his usual verve. This time, the Gillman is taken back to civilization, where he can wreak havoc on even more people than before. This spectacular Reynold Brown creation -- which, we must note, features different artwork than his one sheet -- is one of the toughest sheets on this title. The most important thing to note about his poster is that the entire bottom panel (41" X 27") has been recreated, and features no original paper. The rest of the poster had pinholes in the corners and field, a few tears in the image area, fold wear, chips in the top left corner, right and top borders, and there was a large hole in the Creature's armpit. The restoration on this poster is simply astonishing, making it look virtually as good as new. Good/Very Good on Linen.

Dead of Night (Universal, 1946). One Sheet (27" X 41").
This British horror classic from Ealing Studios started the genre of anthology films, with its episodic tales of the supernatural, each helmed by a different director. Mervyn Johns stars as an architect who arrives at a farmhouse with guests who are eerily familiar to him. Each guest relays a horror tale of their own, some mild: Basil Radford and Naunton Wayne (who appeared together in comedic roles in a multitude of British films, including Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes) as bickering golfers; and some frightening: Michael Redgrave as a mad ventriloquist who is controlled by his dummy. This bright poster has a tape stain at the bottom crossfold, a fold separation at the center horizontal fold, crossfold separations, a small tear at the bottom edge, and a few pieces of paper tape on the reverse. A favorite of ghost story fans because of its superb artwork, this is one poster not to be missed. Fine/Very Fine.

Dead of Night (Universal, 1946). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
This film is a British portmanteau (or compendium) horror film, rare for the period, its various episodes directed by Alberto Cavalcanti, Charles Crichton, Basil Dearden and Robert Hamer, all of the famed Ealing Studios. Considered one of the greatest horror anthology films ever made, Dead of Night's episodic structure inspired an entire genre of lesser imitators. Offered here is the superb title lobby card, featuring the haunting logo graphics seen on most of the film's paper. Condition issues include light soiling, light surface paper loss in the right border, corner bumps, and a minor pen mark in the right border. Fine/Very Fine.

House on Haunted Hill (Allied Artists, 1959). One Sheet (27" X 41").
This classic chiller tells the tale of Frederick Loren (Vincent Price), an eccentric gentleman who offers five strangers a chance to receive $10,000 each. All they have to do is survive a single night in his creepy old mansion. Easier said than done! Directed by William Castle, this fondly-remembered film featured the gimmick "Emergo," in which a plastic skeleton would shoot out from beside the screen and float over the audience. The film was a substantial moneymaker; the success of this low-budget scare-film inspired Alfred Hitchcock to make Psycho (1960). The one sheet is a favorite of collectors; this particular example had some staining and chipping in the right border, all of which has been addressed by expert professional restoration. One of the best horror posters of the 1950s! Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Want to make $10,000? All you have to do is spend the night in Vincent Price's creepy mansion... and survive. That's the challenge posed to five strangers invited to a very special party, in this classic creeper directed by William Castle. Made on a tight budget - as were most of Castle's films - it was hugely successful. This beautiful poster had a long tear in the skeleton, and some creasing throughout, but expert professional restoration has returned it to a like-new appearance. Fine+ on Linen.

Monster from the Ocean Floor (Lippert, 1954). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
This sci-fi spectacular - directed by Wyott Ordung, who wrote the screenplay for the immortal classic, Robot Monster (1953) - was the first film produced by maverick filmmaker Roger Corman. It tells the story of a young American woman (Anne Kimball) vacationing in Mexico. She comes across a giant amoeba that rises from the ocean depths, a horrific mutation spawned in the wake of an atomic explosion. This stunning three sheet has pinholes in the corners and borders, edge wear, crossfold separation, corner bends, and clear tape on the reverse. Aside from these minor flaws, the poster is in great shape, ready to take its rightful place in your collection. Fine.

Monster from the Ocean Floor (Lippert, 1954). Insert (14" X 36").
This film holds the honor of being the very first movie produced by Roger Corman. Our heroine, Julie (played by Anne Kimball), spots a giant one-eyed octopus in the ocean off Mexico, but the authorities don't believe her, so she must join forces with a marine biologist in hopes of destroying it. Oddly enough, the monster in question seems to follow rules of a werewolf, only coming out at night, and achieving full power when the moon is full. Stuart Wade of Teenage Monster fame co-stars. There is a small piece missing on the bottom left corner, a pinhole in the bottom right corner, cloth tape on the reverse, a misfold at the top, small edge tears on the lower border, and light foxing on the top and bottom borders. But despite the defects, this poster sports bold colors and fantastic imagery. Folded, Fine.

I Was a Teenage Werewolf (American International, 1957). One Sheet (27" X 41").
The classic werewolf tale is reworked as a teenage rebellion story in this favorite 1950s horror flick. Michael Landon is too much trouble for his parents who turn him over to a mad scientist (Whit Bissell) posing as a psychologist. Under the influence of drugs and hypnosis, Landon transforms into the werewolf and terrorizes the town. This fabulous poster is in excellent shape with only a few light wrinkles. Very Fine.

I Was a Teenage Frankenstein (American International, 1957). One Sheet (27" X 41").
It was the 1950s. Teen movies were big box office, and horror flicks were enjoying a well-deserved comeback. What could be better, then, than a teen monster picture? Leave it to American International to stitch these two popular genres together and come up with this drive-in gem! Whit Bissell stars as Dr. Frankenstein, a mad scientist out to prove his theories on limb replacement by cobbling together the fearsome fiend of the title. An always popular film, it is represented here by this classic one sheet. It has light edge wear in the top and bottom borders, and some small corner creases, but is otherwise in monstrously great shape. Very Fine+.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Bryanston, 1974). Autographed One Sheet (27" X 41").
One of the most harrowing horror films ever to buzz its way through middle America, Tobe Hooper's nascent masterpiece features an unforgettable mood, edge-of-your-seat terror, and some truly eccentric performances. This classic one sheet has been signed by most of the film's major cast, including Marilyn Burns (Sally), Edwin Neal (Hitch-hiker), Gunner Hansen (Leatherface), Jim Siedow (Old Man), Teri McMinn (Pam), William Vale (Kirk), Allen Danziger (Jerry), and John Dugan (Grandfather). The poster has fold wear, creasing in the top right, and tape on the reverse at the folds. Fine/Very Fine.

Peeping Tom (Anglo Amalgamated, 1960). British Quad (30" X 40").
Michael Powell and writing partner Emeric Pressburger were responsible for several innovative and successful British films of the 1940s and 1950s (49th Parallel, Black Narcissus, The Red Shoes), but Powell's career did not survive the controversy surrounding his experiment with the horror genre - Peeping Tom. The film is a disturbing tale of voyeurism, serial murder, and sexual fantasy. Karlheinz Bohm stars as the mistreated son of a psychologist who grows up to become a photographer who films women at the moment they realize he is about to murder them. The movie does not hold back and the stark look at the mind of a serial killer was too much for critics, who accused the director of perversity, although the film is highly regarded today. In extremely nice condition, this country-of-origin poster has only light edge wear and one small corner bend. Very Fine/Near Mint.

The Nightmare Before Christmas (Touchstone, 1993). Alternate Lenticular One Sheet (27" X 41").
As if the advance lenticular wasn't rare enough, this version, featuring the film's cast in a graveyard and referred to as the "Hell's Gate" style, was never issued to theaters.

Kwaidan (CWF, 1965). Polish One Sheet (22.5" X 33.25").
Based on four short stories by folklorist Lafcadio Hearn, this highly influential film became the model for a number of horror anthology movies - including Dr. Terror's House of Horrors (1965) - that would follow over the next ten years or so. Director Masaki Kobayashi presents his quartet of stories in an understated, expressionistic style that serves to heighten the overall sense of tension and psychological terror. Offered here is a striking Polish poster, with art by Gorka. In superb condition, only a foldline in the bottom border keeps this amazing poster from an even higher grade. Very Fine.

Session 5
Secret Agent (Gaumont, 1936). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
John Gielgud stars as a milquetoast writer who is enlisted by the British secret service to assassinate an evil foreign agent. Hitchcock's early masterpiece has long been considered an underappreciated classic. This great scene card features Peter Lorre, John Gielgud, Madeleine Carroll and Robert Young. There are pinholes in the borders and museum tape on the reverse, and some minor smudging in the borders. The image quality is razor-sharp with terrific color. Very Fine.

The Lady Vanishes (Gaumont, 1938). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
This sensational title lobby card is from one of Alfred Hitchcock's best British films, and a favorite of suspense fans. The artwork showcases multiple scenes aboard the train where most of the action takes place. Margaret Lockwood, Michael Redgrave, Dame May Whitty, and Paul Lukas star in this classic.

There has also been some light touch-up in the background and borders. Paper from this title is always highly prized, and this bright card is no exception. Fine+.

Rebecca (United Artists, 1940). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Alfred Hitchcock's first American-made film, and the only one to win a Best Picture Oscar, Rebecca tells the tale of a man (Laurence Olivier) haunted by the death of his first wife, and the toll it takes on his second (Joan Fontaine). The excellent supporting cast includes Judith Anderson (as the cruel housekeeper), George Sanders, and Nigel Bruce. This rare poster has great images of Olivier and Fontaine, and gorgeous color. Very light edge wear on the top border, and pinpoint crossfold separations are the only condition issues, and the poster presents beautifully. Very Fine+.

Rebecca (Artisti Associati, R-1950s). Italian 2 - Folio (39" X 55").
Hitchcock's first American film was altered by producer David O. Selznick before release -- much to Hitch's dismay -- but still emerges as a classic in the master's oeuvre. Joan Fontaine plays the new wife of brooding widower, but finds that his household staff, and even her husband, can't seem to let the first Mrs. deWinter go. This terrific Italian 2-folio had fold wear with pinpoint crossfold separations, small tears in the image area, a chip in the left border, and a missing bottom left corner, all of which has been addressed with excellent professional restoration. Fine on Linen.

Rebecca (United Artists, R-1946). One Sheet (27" X 41").
A charming young woman (Joan Fontaine) meets the dashing and wealthy widower Maxim de Winter (Laurence Olivier), and the two fall in love and marry. It quickly becomes apparent, however, that de Winter is still obsessed with his late wife, Rebecca, who may not have been all she seemed. This beautiful one sheet, from the first re-release of this classic picture, had fold wear with crossfold separation, edge wear, a hole in the right border, and a piece missing in the left border. Expert professional restoration has fully addressed all these flaws, making this a poster you'll be proud to own and display. Fine on Linen.

Foreign Correspondent (United Artists, 1940). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
At the dawn of World War II, Alfred Hitchcock introduced this political thriller filled with intrigue. Joel McCrea is brilliantly cast as reporter John Jones, a newsman stationed in London just as the Nazis are about to attack Great Britain. But interestingly enough, he was not the director's first choice for the role. Hitchcock initially offered the part to Gary Cooper but Cooper turned him down because he didn't want to make a thriller. He later admitted to Hitchcock that he had made a mistake in refusing the role. This title card has pinholes in the corners and borders and bumps at the corners. There is also tape on the reverse and a tear in the top border that extends into the image area. These minor flaws in no way distract from this beautiful piece. Fine/Very Fine.

Foreign Correspondent (United Artists, 1940). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Joel McCrea plays an American newsman heading into European lands as World War II looms in this pot boiler from Alfred Hitchcock. The film garnered a slew of Oscar nominations, and many of the events on screen mirrored events of the day, such as the real-life German bombings, which took place less than two months after the film's completion. There are small tears on the right border, slight surface paper loss on the bottom right, and a light dust shadow on the bottom left. Very Fine-.

Foreign Correspondent (United Artists, 1940). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Alfred Hitchcock sets his sights on Europe on the eve of World War II in this thriller starring Joel McCrea. Producer Walter Wanger had this story in development for many year, with it originally being about the Spanish Civil War, but that ended quickly and it was felt the story would lose relevance to the audience. Wanger demanded the movie be updated, resulting in constant rewrites during production. All in all it took fourteen writers to finish this tale, which ended up being nominated for six Academy Awards. There are pinholes in the borders, a crease in the top border, and a small tear in the bottom border. Very Fine-.

Suspicion (RKO, 1941). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Suspicion marked the first pairing of director Alfred Hitchcock and Cary Grant, and the second time since Gunga Din (1939) that Grant had worked with Joan Fontaine. It was Fontaine's talent that was recognized with an Academy Award although both stars achieved memorable performances that were generally well-received by audiences. A lovely lobby card with both stars, it has minimal damage with pinholes in the center image area, bottom and top borders. Very Fine-.

Suspicion (RKO, 1941). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Based on the novel by Frances Iles entitled Before the Fact, the original conclusion called for Johnnie (played by Cary Grant), a roguish gambler, to murder his suspicious wife, Lina. Although Alfred Hitchcock was in favor of this climactic ending, the studio was not so receptive to that particular story element believing it would taint the image of Grant, formerly known for portraying less deceitful characters. Even with this alternate ending, the film was critically acclaimed and nominated for three Academy Awards. This fantastic lobby card has a single pinhole in the top and bottom borders and bends in the top left and bottom right corners. Very Fine-.

Suspicion (RKO, 1941). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
John Fontaine portrays a woman torn between love for her husband (played by Cary Grant) and her deep suspicion that she will be the victim of his next murder. This being his second Hollywood-based film after Rebecca (1940), Alfred Hitchcock once again delivered a box office hit which secured his position as a "Hollywood director." There are pinholes in the top, left, and bottom borders as well as light edge wear along the top border. Very Fine.

Saboteur (Universal, 1942). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Falsely accused of an act of sabotage that destroyed a portion of an aircraft factory, plant worker Barry Kane (Robert Cummings) sets out to find the man he believes to be the real saboteur. This was Hitchcock's follow-up to Rebecca, and returned to themes of espionage and intrigue that characterized his earlier British works. This superb lobby card, considered by many to be one of the best in the set, has pinholes in the corners, light soiling in the bottom border, and a bend in the bottom left corner. Fine/Very Fine.

Spellbound (United Artists, 1945). 24 Sheet (104" X 232").
Alfred Hitchcock's study of psychoanalysis and murder is a tautly paced thriller starring Ingrid Bergman as an icy therapist at a mental asylum and Gregory Peck as the new director of the hospital. This impressively large poster features a striking image of the two stars clinched in a desperate embrace. There is significant warping and staining to the linen backing caused by water damage. However, the restored poster had fold wear with separations and tears at the fold lines that has been nicely repaired. Fine- on Linen.

Devlin's (Cary Grant) plan to bring Alexander Sebastian (Claude Rains), the head of a Brazilian neo-Nazi group, to justice. When Devlin falls in love with Alicia, however, the game radically changes.

Rope (Warner Brothers, 1948). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Filmed with long takes and virtually no obvious "cuts," Rope was one of Hitchcock's most experimental films, his first in color, and one of the fabled "Lost Five" that went unseen for many years due to rights issues. Loosely based on the Leopold-Loeb case, it concerns a pair of amoral students (Farley Granger and John Dall) who murder a classmate for fun, stash his body in a chest, and then stage a dinner party. James Stewart plays their professor and intellectual role model. This outstanding one sheet features Stewart front and center. Pinholes in the corners, fold wear, and chips in the borders were the only condition issues, and these have been addressed with professional restoration. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

One of Alfred Hitchcock's favorite themes -- evil lurking just beneath the seemingly normal surface of everyday life -- is brilliantly explored in this taut suspense thriller, co-adapted by Raymond Chandler from the novel by Patricia Highsmith. A chance meeting between a tennis pro (Farley Granger) and a wealthy layabout (Robert Walker) leads to a conversation about "exchanging" murders to avoid suspicion, but Granger is later shocked when Walker pulls off his part of the bargain. This excellent one sheet features pinholes in the corners, edge wear along the bottom border, light smudging, and a small tear in the top border. Fine/Very Fine.

To pass the time on a train ride, wealthy rapscallion Bruno Anthony (Robert Walker) strikes up a conversation with tennis pro Guy Haines (Farley Granger) about how two people might commit murder and get away with it, by switching victims. Although the conversation is purely academic to Guy, he soon finds Bruno was deadly serious when his wife turns up strangled to death. This rare poster, with graphics that many considered superior to the one sheet, shows some creasing at the top and bottom, edge wear, and a pencil mark in the image area, but is otherwise in exceptional condition.

Dial M for Murder (Warner Brothers, 1954). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
Alfred Hitchcock directed this thriller about a former tennis pro that comes up with a plot to kill his wife for money, as a way of getting back at her for having an affair.

On offer here is a gorgeous one sheet using the same evocative artwork featured on most of the Dial M paper, an innovative design that gives a hint of the film's terror rather than highlighting the stars, and is one of our very favorite Hitchcock designs.

Dial M for Murder (Warner Brothers, 1954). Autographed Lobby Cards (2) (11" X 14").
When jealous tennis pro Tony Wendice (Ray Milland) suspects his wife Margot (Grace Kelly) of having an affair with Mark Halliday (Robert Cummings), he arranges to have her killed. Unfortunately for him, Margot fights back and kills her attacker, leading to a taut cat-and-mouse game between husband and wife. Offered here are a pair of great lobby cards, autographed by two of the film's stars, Ray Milland and Robert Cummings. The Milland card has pinholes in the corners, a smudge in the top border, and a dust shadow, while the Cummings card has pinholes in the top center and in the image area, and a dust shadow. These are minor flaws, however, and do nothing to detract from the overwhelming eye-appeal of these rare gems. From the collection of Artie Kern, A/V man to Oscar winning songwriter Sammy Cahn for many years, who was also personal lyricist to Frank Sinatra for almost fifty years. Kern was also Memorabilia Consultant to the Songwriters Hall of Fame Museum in New York City and many of his items were on display there from 1980-1985, until its closing. Sammy Cahn helped Mr. Kern obtain the autographs as he was president of the hall for over 17 years and almost all of the signatures were from his personal friends. Very Fine-.

To Catch a Thief (Paramount, 1955). Insert (14" X 36").
Cary Grant and Grace Kelly headlined this Oscar-winning Alfred Hitchcock classic from 1955. Grant had declared his retirement from acting in 1953; this film brought him back into show business, and helped him decide to continue that career for another 11 years. Producers weren't sure about the age difference between Grant, age 50 and Kelly, age 25, when the movie was shot in 1954, causing them to delay its release, but upon opening in 1955, it instantly became one of that decade's biggest hits. There is some fold wear, bends in the bottom corners, a small smudge on right border, and one pinhole in the image area. Folded, Fine/Very Fine.

Although this movie was both critically and commercially dismissed when it was first released - director Alfred Hitchcock blamed star James Stewart for the movie's failure, claiming the actor looked "too old" - it has since come to be recognized as one of Hitchcock's finest, and most personal, films. As Scottie Ferguson, Stewart is a private detective with a fear of heights who is drawn into an intricate web of obsession and deceit when an old friend (Tom Helmore) asks him to look into his wife's strange activities. Offered here are four lobby cards from this great movie. Each has a single pinhole in the center, and one card has foxing in the borders and some light surface paper loss on the right side. Aside from these minor flaws, the cards are extremely attractive. Fine/Very Fine.

Vertigo (Paramount, 1958). Lobby Cards (4) (11" X 14").
Alfred Hitchcock directed this 1958 thriller starring James Stewart, Kim Novak, and Barbara Bel Geddes. Each card is a moody representation of the classic film, and all feature both Stewart and Novak prominently, including the classic card with Novak's two personas. There are pinholes in the center of all cards and light creases in the top border of two cards. Very Fine.

Vertigo (Paramount, R-1960). Italian 2 - Folio (39" X 55").
It was on Vertigo that Alfred Hitchcock invented the famous "counter-zoom" technique that gave the thrilling impression of James Stewart's fear of heights, a camera trick that has become part of the grammar of the cinema, including being famously used by Steven Spielberg in Jaws. This eye-catching Italian reissue poster has superb artwork, and a completely different layout from most of the paper on Vertigo. Light creasing in the upper image area has been corrected with restoration, while some small censor stamps throughout have been left unrestored. A great looking sheet for this Hitchcock classic. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

North by Northwest (MGM, 1959). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
The recognizable imagery of Cary Grant running away from a charging airplane has become the defining visual for Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece North by Northwest. This lobby card captures that very moment, and from a rather intense angle. Grant actually thought himself too old to play the character, but Alfred Hitchcock was determined he should be Richard Thornhill, even going so far as to avoid casting James Stewart, who genuinely wanted the part. Pinholes in the corners are the only condition issue. Very Fine.

North by Northwest (MGM, 1959). Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style B.
No other director could make audiences scared, thrilled, and glued to their seats like the master filmmaker, Alfred Hitchcock. Every fan wants a poster from one of his top films in their collection. This thriller is non-stop action, and with stars like Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, and James Mason, it is one to see again and again. The chemistry between Grant and Saint was a big selling point of the film, and while the artist of this half sheet may have exaggerated this sexy stateroom scene (Saint never actually pulled a gun on him on the train), it makes for a great poster. It had a chip in the top right corner and fold wear, which has been beautifully restored. This is one of the rarest formats for this film so get it while you can. Very Fine- on Paper.

North by Northwest (MGM, 1959). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
Alfred Hitchcock's thriller changed the standards for big action movies. North by Northwest is perhaps Hitchcock's most popular film, held up strongly over time by solid performances from Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, and James Mason. The picture also features an early role for Martin Landau, long before he would win the Academy Award. This large poster, featuring the famous design by Saul Bass, is quite striking, and helps convey the dynamic impact of this phenomenal Hollywood epic. There is some fold wear, some small holes in the image area, tape stains on the reverse show through to the front, chips on the top border, and light staining. Fine+ on Linen.

Psycho (Paramount, 1960). Six Sheet (81" X 81").
In the original novel by Robert Bloch, Norman Bates is an overweight, middle-aged drunkard, but director Alfred Hitchcock (and screenwriter Joe Stefano) cannily realized that Norman should be young and appealing, if a bit sad, and casting the boyish, handsome Anthony Perkins in the role would throw suspicion away from Norman as the killer. It worked brilliantly, and audiences of the day were truly shocked at the film's conclusion. This magnificent six sheet has an evocative image of Janet Leigh in her undies, heightened by sharp, bright colors. Condition issues are minor and include small holes, creases and tears in the image, a tear in the credits area, and fold wear with crossfold separations, all of which has been smoothed over with professional restoration. Very Fine- on Linen.

Psycho (Paramount, 1960). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
Inspired by the extreme financial success of The House on Haunted Hill (1959), Alfred Hitchcock decided to make his own low-budget horror film based on a story by famed author Robert Bloch.

Offered here is an extremely attractive three sheet for this popular film. It has a Dutch censor stamp in the bottom right, and we note that the linen has been trimmed to the edges of the poster, but in all other ways, this poster is in excellent condition.

Psycho (Paramount, 1960). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Based on the best-selling book by Robert Bloch, this film - considered by many to be director Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece - contains perhaps the best known sequence in film history: the nightmarish shower scene in which Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) takes out his urge to kill on Marion Crane (Janet Leigh). Once Hitchcock obtained the rights from Bloch, he bought up as many copies of the book as he could get his hands on, in order to keep the ending a secret! The one sheet from this film is highly valued by collectors, and this particular example should make some lucky bidder very happy. It had a light stain in the bottom center, which is barely detectable after expert professional restoration. Very Fine on Linen.

Psycho (Paramount, 1960). Autographed Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Alfred Hitchcock's ground-breaking nihilistic thriller terrified audiences on its first release, and has continued to do so for 47 years. Joseph Stefano (who later created The Outer Limits) wrote a screenplay that took moviegoers on a roller coaster ride of horror, and Anthony Perkins and Janet Leigh played roles that defined their careers. This pretty portrait card from the set has pinholes around the borders and one in the top center between the two leads' heads. The card has rounding of the corners and two small nicks in the top border. Beautifully signed by Janet Leigh. From the collection of Artier Kern, A/V man to Oscar-winning songwriter Sammy Chan for many years. Kern was also Memorabilia Consultant to the Songwriters Hall of Fame Museum in New York City and many of his items were on display there from 1980-1985, until its closing. Sammy Chan helped Mr. Kern obtain the autographs as he was president of the hall for over 17 years and almost all of the signatures were from his personal friends. Fine+.

Based on the best-selling book by Robert Bloch, which was in turn based on a series of gruesome, real-life murders in Plainfield, Wisconsin, this is the story of Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins), who just loves his mother to death. Widely hailed as one of director Alfred Hitchcock's greatest films, after buying the rights from Bloch for $9,000, Hitch attempted to buy up as many copies of the book as possible in order to keep the ending a secret.

The Birds (Universal, 1963). One Sheet (27" X 41").
One of director Alfred Hitchcock's most purely terrifying movies tells the story of flocks of birds violently attacking a small Northern California town, eventually converging on a children's party in a truly horrifying climax. This film marks star Tippi Hedren's first significant screen appearance; Hitchcock first saw the pretty young actress in a diet drink commercial and quickly put her under contract. This highly desirable poster is in superb condition; only some slight ghosting on the right side and a faint crease in the top left corner keep it from an even higher grade. Near Mint+.

Alfred Hitchcock turned Daphne Du Maurier's suspense tale, originally set in Cornwall, into one of his most terrifying films. Starring Tippi Hedren, Rod Taylor, and Jessica Tandy, the story follows the townspeople, including the children, of Bodega Bay who are inexplicably attacked by flocks of birds. Card #1 has foxing in two borders, and all cards have minor corner bumps. Otherwise this set is in extremely nice condition, and full of the more horrifying scenes from this delightfully disturbing classic. Very Fine+.

Gone with the Wind (MGM, 1940). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style CP.
This gorgeous one sheet, featuring Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh) running through the streets of Atlanta, comes from the early 1940 wide release of the classic Victor Fleming epic. Leigh's performance won her the Oscar at the age of 26, the first of two in her career. This style, which we have never offered before, features the beautiful artwork of Armando Seguso, and includes a promotional blurb in the upper right corner. The superb restoration was done to correct fold wear, crossfold separations, and chipping in the left and right borders. Fine on Linen.

Gone with the Wind (MGM, 1940). 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 the 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, small holes in the corners, and crossfold separations. This fabulous and rare sheet has been beautifully and professionally restored, and there is now no distraction from the superb artwork. Fine on Linen.

Gone with the Wind (MGM, 1940). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
David O. Selznick's classic Civil War epic was released in limited engagements in late 1939 to make the qualifications for the year's Academy Awards. For that release there were posters and lobby cards done featuring the Armando Seguso artwork. In early 1940, the film went into a general release throughout the country. This lobby card is from that general release and is considered an original release card. This set was a photographic set and has become far more rare than the artwork "roadshow" lobby cards. This is one of the best cards from that set picturing both Gable and Leigh. The card displays slight rounding to the corners and very minor wear to the border. It is in very nice condition. Fine/Very Fine.

Gone with the Wind (MGM, 1940). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
This original wide release lobby card features Mammy (Hattie McDaniel) lacing up Scarlett's (Vivien Leigh) corset before the big party. Interestingly enough, the line quoted on the card has Scarlett telling Mammy to make the corset tighter as "Mr. Butler will be at the ball." In fact, this scene occurs early in the film as Scarlett prepares to go to the Wilkes bar-b-que where she has her sights set on Ashley Wilkes (Leslie Howard). Prior to restoration, this lobby card had pinholes in the image area and ships in the bottom border. It now displays remarkably well and will make a fine addition to any set. Very Fine-.

Lost Horizon (Columbia, 1937). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Frank Capra took two years to film the book that James Hilton wrote in six weeks. The fantasy was something of a departure from the usual "Capracorn" the director so delighted in. Ronald Colman is a disaffected diplomat who, along with a group of refugees, is kidnapped to Shangri-La, a wondrous place of peace and meditation in the Himalayas. This beautiful card, featuring Colman, Jane Wyatt, and Margo, has rounded corners and some slight wrinkles on the right side and above Wyatt's image. There is some minor bending in three corners and some time ago, brown paper tape was applied on the back, at the top and right edge. Fine+.

It's a Wonderful Life (RKO, 1946). One Sheet (27" X 41").
James Stewart is the perfect Everyman in this, Frank Capra's bittersweet classic about the life a man leads and the consequences of his actions. Small-town family man George Bailey has a beautiful wife (Donna Reed) and a house full of children, but can't seem to catch a break in life. When the evil Mr. Potter (Lionel Barrymore) gets George in an impossible financial situation, he contemplates suicide. Only the intervention of an angel (Henry Travers) saves him from this lonely fate. Offered here is the classic one sheet, featuring Stewart and Reed in a moment of elation. The poster had pinholes in the borders, slight overall fading, fold wear with crossfold separations, and a small chip in the lower border, all of which has been addressed with professional restoration. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

It's a Wonderful Life (RKO, 1946). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Although this film - about a good-hearted man (Jimmy Stewart) given a chance to see what the world would be like without him - was a box office failure upon its initial release, its lapse into the public domain in 1973 and its subsequent adoption as a television holiday favorite has made it one of the most beloved movies of all time. This particular card bears a special significance, as it was once in the personal collection of director Frank Capra; a copy of a letter from Frank Capra III, the famed director's grandson, attesting to this fact is included with this lot. The card shows some paper tape and some minor paper loss on the reverse, edge wear in the bottom border, small inkspots in the top border and on Stewart's cheek, and a scratch on Stewart's chin and by the hands at the bottom of the image. Aside from these slight flaws, this card is extremely attractive and presentable, a unique piece of Hollywood memorabilia that any collector will be proud to own. Fine+.

Aside from these slight flaws, this card is extremely attractive and presentable, a unique piece of Hollywood memorabilia that any collector will be proud to own. Fine+.

All's well that ends well at George Bailey's house, as demonstrated by this outstanding lobby card from what many consider to be Frank Capra's finest film.

It's a Wonderful Life (RKO, R-1956). Italian Poster (19" X 27") and Photobustas (6) (18.5" X 13").
Selfless but perpetually broke and on the receiving end of numerous bad breaks, George Bailey (James Stewart) contemplates suicide, but the intervention of a bumbling angel (Henry Travers) shows him just how wonderful his life has been. Donna Reed -- in her first starring role -- is luminous as George's wife Mary.

To Kill a Mockingbird (Universal, 1963). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Atticus Finch, played by Gregory Peck, is a man of honor and integrity who defends a black man, Tom Robinson (Brock Peters), suspected of murdering a white girl in a prejudiced small town in the deep South during the 1930's. Peck's powerful performance is matched by an incredible supporting cast including Robert Duvall, in his film debut, and Mary Badham and Phillip Alford as Finch's children Scout and Jem. Always a popular poster, with its striking design, this copy is in very nice condition. It has been professionally mounted on linen, but no other restoration has been done. It has light tape stains at some of the folds, pinholes in the corners, and a Dutch censor stamp in the top right. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

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. Robinson), whose life changes in an instant when he is fired from his job and arrested based on his resemblance to known criminal Mannion (also played by Robinson). When Mannion finds out about his doppelganger, the trouble really starts. 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.

A Farewell to Arms (Paramount, 1932). Autographed Lobby Card (11" X 14").
This is arguably the best card from the set of this classic adaptation of Ernest Hemingway's WWI novel. The moody and dramatic portrait image of Helen Hayes and Gary Cooper foreshadows the volatile relationship between Catherine the nurse (Hayes) and Fredric the soldier (Cooper), and even produced commotion in the censor's office, which forced omission of details of Catherine's childbirth experience from the original script. However, even with the changes, both British Columbia and Australia banned the film, as they preferred their citizenry to continue to practice the stork method of reproduction! The card shows signs of tanning; it has a minor tear in the left border, has a small chip from the right border, and minor water stains in the lower right and upper left corners. There appears to have been a tiny chip in Catherine's lip which has been restored. There is a small tear in the left border. From the collection of Artie Kern, A/V man to Oscar winning songwriter Sammy Cahn for many years. Kern was also Memorabilia Consultant to the Songwriters Hall of Fame Museum in New York City and many of his items were on display there from 1980-1985, until its closing. Sammy Cahn helped Mr. Kern obtain the autographs as he was president of the hall for over 17 years and almost all of the signatures were from his personal friends. The card is boldly signed by Helen Hayes. Fine-.

A Farewell to Arms (Paramount, 1932). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
For many reasons, Gary Cooper and Ernest Hemingway intersect in the annals of American culture. Cooper twice portrayed a Hemingway protagonist on film, here and a few years later, in For Whom the Bell Tolls. Hemingway may never have been happy with Hollywood's adaptations of his novels, but he thought very highly of Gary Cooper. Cooper -- in his film roles and in life -- embodied the Hemingway hero's code: a strong, silent man whose pride rested in doing a job well and whose vice lay with women. During the filming of For Whom the Bell Tolls, Cooper and Hemingway became friends, and, perhaps not coincidentally, in a final symbolic act, Hemingway committed suicide only a month after Cooper died. In this card, Cooper shares a portrait with Helen Hayes in a sunny iris that may have made Hemingway cringe, but looks lovely to those less self-consciously macho. (Did Hemingway ever say "lovely?") There is some tanning in the borders, rounding of the corners, and pinholes in the top, bottom, and to the left of the round portrait image. There is a very small pinpoint stain below the credits and a very minor scuff on Hayes's nose. Fine/Very Fine.

Set during the Spanish Civil War, this exciting tale, based on the classic novel by Ernest Hemingway, tells the story of adventurer Robert Jordan (Gary Cooper), who joins up with a rebel guerilla band to blow up a bridge in order to halt an enemy advance, falling in love with a beautiful young peasant girl (Ingrid Bergman, whom Hemingway had in mind while he was writing the novel) along the way. Offered here is a great one sheet for this classic film, with art by Armando Seguso, perhaps best know as the artist for the original Gone With the Wind (1939) campaign. It had fold wear with crossfold separation, foxing in the right border, and a small chip in the left border, but expert professional restoration has thoroughly addressed these minor issues. Additionally, we note that the linen is beginning to separation from the poster at the top. regardless, this is a beautiful poster from a classic film, one that any collector will be proud to own. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Walter Huston and Mary Astor are brilliant in Sinclair Lewis's bittersweet tale of ever increasing estrangement between an automobile tycoon and his aging party girl wife. Ruth Chatterton and David Niven add to a very strong cast for this film which raised the eyebrows of Hollywood censors with its subject matter. The card featuring Astor and Huston has a stain in the top border and pinholes in the corners. The second card has light edge wear, minor paper loss to the surface and a bend in the top left corner. Both cards have minor corner bumps. Fine+.

Come and Get It (United Artists, 1936). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
Lumber tycoon Edward Arnold got ahead in life by dumping his true love, Frances Farmer, and marrying into money. Years later, his attraction to Farmer's daughter (also played by Farmer) causes a scandal and friction with his son, Joel McCrea.

There is surface wear with no touch up, and a scratch in the red of the book. Beautiful stone litho artwork of the three leads is featured on this, the only known copy of this fabulous poster.

The film adaptation of John Steinbeck's first huge success as a writer was nominated for a Best Picture Oscar.

Following the life of a formal tailcoat believed to bring bad luck to its wearer, actors Charles Boyer, Rita Hayworth, Ginger Rogers, and Henry Fonda were only a few of the stars whose characters were matured by the effects of this "magical" wardrobe. Ultimately, the tailcoat falls in the hands of a poor black family who see the tailcoat as a blessing instead of the curse it was originally rumored to be. This stunning lobby card featuring Ethel Waters, Paul Robeson, and Eddie 'Rochester' Anderson is only marred with single pinholes in the right and bottom borders. Very Fine.

Little Women (RKO, 1933). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Based on the classic novel by Louisa May Alcott, this is the story of four New England sisters - Jo (Katharine Hepburn), Amy (Joan Bennett), Meg (Frances Dee), and Beth (Jean Parker) - who must deal with hardship and privation while their father fights in the Civil War. Although studio executives at the time were hesitant about backing a film based on a novel about a group of women during the Civil War, producer David O. Selznick was eventually able to convince them to green light the picture, which turned out to be both a critical and commercial success. The highly desirable stone litho poster offered here had fold wear with crossfold separation, and a tear in the bottom left corner, but expert professional restoration has rendered these slight flaws virtually invisible, making this a poster you will be proud to own.

Sylvia Scarlett (RKO, 1935). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
On the run from the police, gambler and embezzler Henry Scarlett (Edmund Gwenn) and his daughter Sylvia (Katharine Hepburn) board a ship, with Sylvia disguised as a boy. While aboard, they meet jewel smuggler and "gentleman adventurer" Jimmy Monkley (Cary Grant), who cuts them in on his schemes. One of the most notorious film failures of the 1930s, the movie is seen as significant today not just as one of Grant's breakout roles - his suave and sophisticated jewel thief was a persona he would use again to great effect, most notably in To Catch a Thief (1955) - but as the first pairing of Grant and Hepburn, who would go on together to make such classics as Bringing Up Baby (1938), Holiday (1938), and The Philadelphia Story (1940). This exceptional lobby card, which pictures both Hepburn and Grant, had a chip in the top right corner and some tears in the top border, but expert professional restoration, including reinforcement of the borders on the reverse, has returned this highly desirable card to a like-new appearance. Paper from this title is scarce, so don't let this one get past you. Fine-.

Woman of the Year (MGM, 1942). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn shared the screen for the first time in this film, their first of nine together. In this outing, they portray newspaper co-workers Tess and Sam who fall in love and get married, but begins to overrun her personal life, and Sam starts to feel a bit neglected. The relationship works because Tracy and Hepburn work, all before the soft lens of director George Stevens. Many fans of the acting duo insist this inaugural outing is their best, but regardless of audience feelings, there's certainly no denying this film's importance for the two stars. There are small border tears on the right side with tape on the reverse, light wear on the borders, and a small tear in the lower border. Fine.

Bringing Up Baby (RKO, 1938). Pressbook (Multiple Pages) (12" X 18").
Considered by many to be one of the best of the screwball comedies, this film, with its frantic pace, absurd antics, and zany pratfalls was director Howard Hawks at his best. This was the second of four films co-starring Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant, the others being Holiday, The Philadelphia Story, and Sylvia Scarlett. 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, 1940). Jumbo Window Card (22" X 28").
Considered by many as "the film that saved Katharine Hepburn's career," The Philadelphia Story was a smash hit for MGM in 1940. Hepburn stars as Philadelphia heiress Tracy Lord (in a role written expressly for her) who plans to marry upstanding George Kittredge (John Howard). But the arrival of her ex-husband (Cary Grant) and a nosey tabloid reporter (James Stewart) threaten to rain on her parade. There were tears in the bottom borders, in Stewart's hair and the credits. There was also a slight crease in the left side and a vertical crack through the image. But following a fabulous restoration, this card presents remarkably well. Fine/Very Fine on Cardstock.

But the arrival of her ex-husband (Cary Grant) and a nosey tabloid reporter (James Stewart) threaten to rain on her parade. There were tears in the bottom borders, in Stewart's hair and the credits. There was also a slight crease in the left side and a vertical crack through the image. But following a fabulous restoration, this card presents remarkably well. Fine/Very Fine on Cardstock.
The Philadelphia Story (MGM, 1940). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Probably the best portrait card in a fantastic set of cards, this great close-up of Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn defines Hollywood glamour. The Philadelphia Story marked the triumphant return of Hepburn to the silver screen, after having been labeled box office poison for a series of flop pictures (including Bringing Up Baby, which later became a cult favorite). This beautiful card has corner bends top and bottom on the right side and faint smudging on the bottom border. Very Fine.

The Philadelphia Story (MGM, 1940). Autographed Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Cary Grant, as Katharine Hepburn's ex-husband, returns on her wedding day to try to derail her marriage to a self-made man. This was a brilliant romantic comedy that would win screenwriter Donald Ogden Stewart an Oscar for Best Screenplay. This wonderful scene card features Grant and Hepburn; it does not feature James Stewart, but he has signed the card nonetheless. Condition issues include pinholes in the corners, corner bends, tears in the right and bottom borders, a chip in the bottom left corner, and paper tape on the reverse. Fine.

Hot Saturday (Paramount, 1932). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
When socialite Ruth Brock (Nancy Carroll) has a blow-up with her boyfriend, Bill Fadden (Randolph Scott), she decides to teach him a lesson by dallying with notorious playboy Romer Sheffield (Cary Grant, who only had half a dozen films under his belt when he made this picture). Although nothing happens between them, the ensuing rumors and innuendos that begin to circulate threaten to derail Nancy's plans for future happiness. The lovely scene card offered here, featuring Carroll and a very young Cary Grant, had mildew damage prior to expert professional restoration; now it looks as good as new. Paper from this title is extremely hard to find. Don't pass up this opportunity to add this gem to your collection. Very Good/Fine.

Penny Serenade (Columbia, 1941). Insert (14" X 36").
As Julie Adams (Irene Dunne) prepares to leave her husband Roger (Cary Grant), she listens to a stack of old recordings, each one of which sparks a memory of their time together, causing her to reflect on her decision. A decidedly sentimental and nostalgic film, Dunne often cited this as one of her favorites. This beautiful insert reflects the romantic feel of this classic film. Prior to restoration, this poster had a tear in the right border, corner bends, and creasing throughout. The excellent restoration has rendered all this nearly invisible. Fine/Very Fine on Paper.

Arsenic and Old Lace (Warner Brothers, 1944). Six Sheet (81" X 81").
When pretty Elaine Harper (Priscilla Lane) marries the seemingly-normal Mortimer Brewster (Cary Grant), she has no idea the kind of family with which she's become involved. Mortimer's aunts, Abby and Martha (Josephine Hull and Jean Adair) regularly dispose of bachelors by giving them elderberry wine dosed with arsenic, his older brother, Jonathan (Raymond Massey), is an escaped convict, and his younger brother, Teddy (John Alexander) believes himself to be Theodore Roosevelt. When Jonathan returns home, accompanied by the obsequious Dr. Einstein (Peter Lorre), and begins a murder competition with his aunts, things really get strange! Directed by Frank Capra, this is the film version of the ultra-successful stage show. This highly desirable six sheet shows toning, slight crossfold separations, and some extra creasing at the folds, but is, overall, a very attractive and desirable piece. This is the only known copy that we are aware of. From the Todd Feiertag Collection. Fine/Very Fine.

No Man of Her Own (Paramount, 1932). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Clark Gable stars as a card shark running away from a bothersome policeman. While hiding, he meets a librarian with a wild side played by Carole Lombard. They end up married, but Gable's secret gambling lifestyle soon gets in the way. The two stars, who later became one of Hollywood's most famous couples, were oddly enough indifferent to each other while shooting this film - their only onscreen pairing. This is easily the most desirable card in the set, and notably the only Lombard and Gable portrait card. There are very small stains in the image area, bottom border, and right border. Very 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.

The card offered here 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.

Stella Ames (Clara Bow) is a devil-may-care college student who would rather party than study, until she takes a class with the stern but handsome Professor Gil Gilmore (Fredric March). When Stella gets in over her head at a local bar, it's Gilmore who rescues her, leading to complications for them both. This film, Bow's first talkie, was helmed by Dorothy Arzner, one of Hollywood's first female directors, whose impressive career behind the cameras spanned the 1920s, 30s, and 40s. The card offered here depicts Bow at her ebullient best and is perhaps one of her very best lobby cards. It shows pinholes in the corners, but is otherwise extremely clean and attractive. Very Fine.

The Saturday Night Kid (Paramount, 1929). Window Card (14" X 22").
The emergence of talking films would be problematic for the popular star Clara Bow, not because she did not have a suitable voice, but because of her fears of the microphone, and the studio's pressure to get her into talkies, without proper coaching. This is one of only a handful of talking pictures Bow made, and it is a delightful romantic comedy. She stars with Jean Arthur as gold-digging sisters who work at a department store and dream of catching the same wealthy man, played by James Hall. Arthur is more clever and underhanded, but it's the bubbly Bow who wins the day. Another Jean is in the film - Jean Harlow can be seen in a bit part. The poster had a crease at the bottom edge, and the top 4" of the imprint area has been replaced, however the image area is impeccable. Excellent restoration has rendered these issues unnoticeable, and this gorgeous full-length portrait of Bow is a great find. Fine- on Cardstock.

This splendid lobby card features Brooks and Menjou, and is in very nice shape, with some edge wear at the top border and a small stain in the bottom border being the only condition issues. Very Fine.
The Divine Woman (MGM, 1928). Austrian Poster (48" X 71.5").
Sadly a "lost" film, The Divine Woman teams the great silent director Victor Sjostrom with the great Greta Garbo in a drama about an impoverished but ambitious woman who goes to Paris to find fame as an actress, only to be torn between the devotions of two very different men. Garbo in repose is the subject of this sublime Austrian poster, with a vivid contrast between red and blue drapery. Although no complete prints of The Divine Woman are known to exist; a single reel of the eight-reel feature (9 minutes in length) was discovered in a Moscow archive in 1993 and is available on the TCM Garbo Silent collection. Fold wear was the only appreciable condition problem on this gorgeous poster, which has been addressed with professional restoration. Very Fine on Linen.

Morocco (Paramount, 1930). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Marlene Dietrich earned her only Academy Award nomination (Best Actress) for her role in this film, playing opposite Gary Cooper and Adolphe Menjou. Director Josef von Sternberg was also nominated, as was the Cinematography and Art Direction. This beautiful card, featuring both stars, has bending in the lower third of the image and some within the top border and title area. There is wear to the two right corners, and some glue on the reverse, in the corners and the center, as if it was glued into a scrapbook at one time. Nevertheless, the card still displays very well and is from an exceedingly hard title from which to find paper. Fine-.

Dishonored (Paramount, 1931). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
A surprisingly modern potboiler, Dishonored stars Marlene Dietrich as a prostitute-turned-spy, aka Agent X-27, who makes a name for herself seducing and betraying enemy officers during World War I.

Condition issues include pinholes in the corners and field, border tears, corner creases, light creasing in the card, and paper tape on the reverse, none of which detracts from the beauty of the great Dietrich. Fine.

This fast-paced drama, with its all-star, all female cast, is directed by George Cukor and is based on Clare Booth Luce's hit play of the same name.

This rare style D format features Crawford, Shearer, and Russell, along with an inset of the great fashion show scene, which was filmed in Technicolor. The poster has been professionally restored to address small chips in the borders, a tear in the right side, and small tears in the left border.

Lew Ayres plays prize-fighter Kid Mason, the "Iron Man" of the title, who strives to overcome his physical and emotional demons in order to win the championship.

This exquisite card, which pictures Ayres and co-star Jean Harlow as his unfaithful wife, shows some staining in the left border, but is otherwise extremely clean and attractive. Very Fine+.

Life in Indochina is dull but simple for rubber plantation overseer Dennis Carson (Clark Gable), until stranded hooker Vantine (Jean Harlow) shows up, followed by Gary Willis (Gene Raymond) and his attractive young wife Barbara (Mary Astor), who quickly locks her sights on Dennis.

The classic card offered here shows a corner bend in the bottom left, slight toning in the bottom left corner, and some very slight blemishes in the bottom and left borders. These are extremely minor flaws, however, and do nothing to detract from the overwhelming eye-appeal of this outstanding beauty. Very Fine.

Red Headed Woman (MGM, 1932). Lobby Card (11" X 13.25").
Based on Katherine Brush's racy novel, this Jean Harlow vehicle featured snappy dialogue by Anita Loos (after a screenplay by F. Scott Fitzgerald was rejected for being too serious) and delightful support from Una Merkel as Harlow's wisecracking roommate. Harlow plays a gold-digger who sets her sights on a company man (Chester Morris) despite the fact that he's already married. She gets the guy, but from there on out, things don't go as planned. This excellent lobby card features two of Harlow's best assets -- her smile and her gams -- and co-star Morris appears as well. The card is in superb condition, but the grade must be greatly reduced because it has been trimmed by .75" (collectively) on the right and left sides. Still, as a memorable image of Harlow -- especially as a redhead -- this can't be beat. Fine-.

Personal Property (MGM, 1937). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style D.
Jean Harlow is bright and alluring in this fun MGM romantic comedy, where she stars as Crystal Wetherby, a young widow who has to marry money in order to save her mansion.

Saratoga (MGM, 1937). Mini Window Card (8" X 14").
The filming of this romantic comedy set in the world of horse racing was almost over when Jean Harlow died of uremic poisoning. The studio wanted to reshoot with Virginia Bruce or Jean Arthur, but the outcry of fans demanding to see Harlow in her last film forced them to use body and voice doubles to finish the film. This midget window card has a paper snipe in the top image area, small crease in the top border with small tear, and a light smudge in the left border. This is a gorgeous image of the "Blonde Bombshell" from her last film. From the Todd Feiertag Collection. Very Fine.

It Happened One Night (Columbia, R-1937). Autographed Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Considered one of the great romantic comedies, this classic was directed by Frank Capra and tells the tale of a pampered socialite (Claudette Colbert) who tries to get out from under her father's thumb, and falls in love with a roguish reporter (Clark Gable). The plot was based on the story "Night Bus" by Samuel Hopkins Adams. This lovely card has a dust shadow on the upper and right border. There is surface insect nibbling on the left border and in scattered small areas around the rest of the border. The card is well signed by both Ms. Colbert and the director, Frank Capra.

Kern was also Memorabilia Consultant to the Songwriters Hall of Fame Museum in New York City and many of his items were on display there from 1980-1985, until its closing. Sammy Cahn helped Mr. Kern obtain the autographs as he was president of the hall for over 17 years and almost all of the signatures were from his personal friends. Fine.

Ten Cents a Dance (Columbia, 1931). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style B.
Barbara Stanwyck plays a taxi dancer who charges ten cents a dance, in one of her earliest starring roles. Her husband (Monroe Owsley) suspects Stanwyck of infidelity after he discovers that Ricardo Cortez, a wealthy businessman, is courting her. Owsley uses his suspicions as an excuse to commit a variety of sins - including gambling, adultery and theft. Full of racy pre-Code dialogue and sexual innuendo, the film was directed by screen great Lionel Barrymore. The art on this incredibly rare (we believe this is the only known copy) and gorgeous one sheet graphically depicts the storyline and showcases Stanwyck's stunning beauty. Prior to the expert restoration, there were pinholes in the corners, tears in the left and bottom border, a chip in the top border and fold wear with crossfold separation. All rendered almost invisible by the restorer. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

The Glass Key (Paramount, 1942). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Based on the novel by Dashiell Hammett, this is a story of political corruption in the big city, starring the incendiary team of Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake, who had burned up the screen in their previous picture, This Gun for Hire (1942), and would go on to make The Blue Dahlia (1946), another classic film noir.

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 could make a serious film. The slapstick and pathos that mark this adventure of director Joel McCrea and beautiful Veronica Lake are as wonderful today as the day the film was made. Other than the one sheet for This Gun for Hire, there isn't a Veronica Lake one sheet that is more collectible. 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." Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

This Gun for Hire (Paramount, R-1945). One Sheet (27" X 41").
This 1945 re-release poster features fantastic art of Veronica Lake and Alan Ladd. When released in 1942, Paramount found themselves with a huge hit on their hands in what would be an early film noir classic. They teamed Lake and Ladd in six more films and, to this day, they are known as the king and queen of noir. This fabulous one sheet is for the re-release of the hit, and with this poster, they have billed Alan Ladd first. This one sheet had very minor chipping in the right edge and a small amount of border loss along the lower left edge. There was touch-up to the crossfolds, primarily the center one, and the red title looks to have some slight touch-up also. This poster is at least as scarce as the original, maybe more so, and has had professional conservation work. It displays beautifully. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

When seaman Michael O'Hara (Orson Welles) saves the beautiful Elsa Banister (Rita Hayworth) from a mugging, he little suspects the complex web of deception, fraud, and murder in which he will soon become entangled.

The Lady from Shanghai (Columbia, 1947). Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style B.
Seaman Michael O'Hara (Orson Welles) gets more than he bargained for when he saves the lovely Elsa Bannister (Rita Hayworth) from a mugging. Her husband (Everett Sloane) insists on rewarding the brave young man, but it soon becomes apparent he has darker intentions in mind. Hayworth turns in one of her greatest femme fatale roles, while Welles, who served as director, producer, screenwriter, and star, establishes himself definitively as one of the masters of modern cinema. This wonderful half sheet, with great images of both stars, had pinholes in the corners and the field, edge wear in the bottom border, a tear in the top left corner, a tear in the bottom that ran into the title, fold wear, and a bottom right corner bend. These flaws are apparent only upon close examination, however, due to expert professional restoration. Fine/Very Fine on Paper.

Laura (20th Century Fox, 1944). Autographed Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Otto Preminger directed the crime noir classic about a police detective who falls in love with a woman whose murder he's investigating. Gene Tierney and Dana Andrews headline this pot boiler, which also featured an early performance from Vincent Price. Many consider this to be Preminger's best film. This colorful lobby is actually signed "To Gene, my best, Vincent Price", making it even more desirable. Laura truly was classic moviemaking at its finest, and remains a highly respected example of film noir to this day. There are corner bends and light soiling on the bottom border. Very Fine.

The Letter (Warner Brothers, 1940). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
This scene says it all. You don't cross Bette Davis! Davis stars in William Wyler's film adaptation of W. Somerset Maugham's dark tale of murder and deceit on a tropical Malayan rubber plantation. This linen finish scene card is THE card from this set. It has edge wear and a bottom left corner that has been re-attached. There is wrinkling and creasing throughout the image and borders as well as tape on the reverse and a tear in the bottom right corner. Still, this remains one of the best pieces from one of Davis' greatest performances. Very Good.

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. Fine+ on Linen.

Murder, My Sweet (RKO, 1944). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Dick Powell, cast against type, stars as Raymond Chandler's legendary gumshoe Phillip Marlowe in this adaptation of Farewell My Lovely -- the title was changed because the studio was afraid audiences would think it was a musical, especially with former song-and-dance man Powell in the lead. Marlowe is hired by hulking Moose Malloy to locate an old girlfriend he lost track of while in the slammer. In the process, Marlowe finds himself in a whirlwind of larcenous activity including bribery, perjury, and theft, while side-stepping the wiles of a beautiful femme fatale played by Claire Trevor. Considered one of the best Chandler adaptations, and certainly one of the best film noirs ever made. This pretty poster had fold wear with minor crossfold separations, and pinholes in the corners, all of which has been addressed with professional restoration. Very Fine- on Linen.

Nightmare Alley (20th Century Fox, 1947). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
Based on the novel by William Lindsay Gresham, this unusual film noir starts off in the world of traveling carnivals. 20th Century Fox spared no expense for the film and built an actual carnival on 10 acres of the studio lot, hiring hundreds of carnival acts as extras. The seedy tale of greed and egotism stars Tyrone Power, in perhaps his most unsympathetic role, as the mind reader, "The Great Stanton," who takes advantage of the women in his life (Joan Blondell, Coleen Gray, and Helen Walker), leading to his eventual, and disturbing, downfall. Power is mesmerizing to watch, charming every minute, even as he lies and swindles his way to the top -- an impressive performance from an actor known for his gentleman and swashbuckler roles. Prior to restoration, this gorgeous poster had fold wear with small areas of paper loss, a tear in the top of the image, small chips at the bottom border, and crossfold separations. A few smudges in the bottom left edge, a minor surface abrasion in the credits area, and a small stain at the lower right, all occurred after restoration. The sensational artwork from this hard-boiled hit features a cynical Power looking over the other stars. Fine on Linen.

Citizen Kane (RKO, 1941). One Sheet (27" X 40") Style B.
Star/director Orson Welles's dramatic tale of the life of newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane has been called the greatest movie ever made, and who are we to dispute that grand distinction? Although Welles denied it, the film was widely seen as a dramatization of the life of William Randolph Hearst, which greatly angered the real-life media tycoon. In fact, Hearst was so incensed by what he saw as a personal attack that he forbade the movie to be advertised in his papers, and actually tried to buy the negative from the studio so that he could destroy it. Since Welles had already held a preview of the film for important industry figures - who gave the picture rave reviews - Hearst's plan was, fortunately, thwarted. Even ignoring the obvious political content of the film, this movie is an undisputed masterpiece, seen by many as the creative summit of Welles's long and impressive career. Whether or not it's the greatest film ever made can certainly be debated; the fact that it is an important landmark in the history of American cinema cannot. As should come as no surprise, paper from this film is highly sought after. One sheets, particularly the less common "B" style offered here, are especially desirable. This copy is in nice condition; only some fold wear with slight chipping, and one inch of the white border trimmed from the top making it a 40" length. Expert professional restoration has helped the poster but the length is still short and keeps this gem from an even higher grade. If only the best is good enough for you, you owe it to yourself to bid on this important treasure. Fine on Linen.

The Third Man (Selznick, 1949). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
In this classic thriller, novelist Holly Martins (Joseph Cotten) arrives in Vienna just in time to find out that his friend, Harry Lime (Orson Welles) has died. As it turns out, however, Lime is neither dead nor the upstanding citizen Martins believed him to be. With that revelation, the film spirals deeper and deeper into a bizarre web of intrigue and deceit, climaxing in a harrowing chase through the city's sewers. This striking three sheet had a tear in the left border, and fold wear with crossfold separation and chips, but expert professional restoration has rendered these slight imperfections virtually invisible.

The Third Man (Selznick, 1949). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
In this Cold War spy classic, Joseph Cotten plays Holly Martin, a down-on-his-luck writer who travels to Vienna after his friend Harry Lime (Orson Welles) offers him a job. Upon his arrival, Martin finds out that Lime is dead, the victim of a traffic accident. All is not as it appears to be, however, as Lime is actually very much alive, drawing Martin into a web of intrigue and deceit that climaxes in a spectacular chase through the Vienna sewer system. Offered here is the scarce, only close-up card of Welles provided in the lobby card set. It has tiny tears in the top and right borders, pinholes in the corners and the borders, a small area of paper lift in the bottom left with minor surface paper loss, clear tape on the reverse, soft creasing across the horizontal center, and corner bumps. This is still an attractive and highly desirable card from a landmark film. Fine- .

Touch of Evil (Universal International, 1958). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
Largely considered to be one of the greatest films of auteur Orson Welles, this gripping film noir is a staggering exploration into the nature of good and evil, as seen through the characters of Mike Vargas (Charlton Heston), a Mexican cop recently married to the lovely Susan (Janet Leigh), and local police chief Hank Quinlan (Orson Welles), who will do anything to maintain his perfect arrest record. A landmark movie, it is credited with influencing the early careers of both Jean-Luc Godard and Francois Truffaut. Paper from this classic film is always in high demand, and this striking half sheet will certainly prove to be no exception. It has pinholes in the corners and borders, light edge wear in the left border, and some smudging at the edges, but these are minor flaws which in no way detract from the overall appeal of this desirable gem. Rolled, Very Fine.

Touch of Evil (Universal International, 1958). Six Sheet (81" X 81").
Although filmmaker Orson Welles had made a name for himself with classics like Citizen Kane and The Lady from Shanghai, the director usually found himself at odds with studios reluctant to give him financing for his pictures. With Touch of Evil, Universal stepped up and allowed the director to create one of his lasting masterpieces in the form of a dark and controversial film noir. This striking six sheet features some of the best art done for this classic film. There are staple holes and small holes in the borders and the field, fold wear with crossfold separations, and a chip in the top right corner. Fine+.

Touch of Evil (Universal International, 1958). Lobby Card Set of 8 (11" X 14").
On his honeymoon, Mexican-born policeman Mike Vargas (Charlton Heston) agrees to investigate a bombing, but local police chief Hank Quinlan (Orson Welles, who also directed) doesn't welcome the help. This hard-hitting south-of-the-border film noir is considered to be one of Orson Welles's finest works, and you'll get no argument from us. Offered here is the superb lobby card set, with many great images from the film. The set is virtually flawless, with no real problems to note, but some of the cards have clear tape on the reverse, and one of the cards has minor paper loss on the reverse where the tape was removed. Very Fine/Near Mint.

Touch of Evil (Universal International, 1958). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Orson Welles's muscular direction made this bordertown film noir one of the most memorable pictures of the 1950s. The film dealt with many "taboo" topics including interracial marriages, gangs, drugs, political murders, and corrupt cops. Charlton Heston portrays a Mexican narcotics officer and Janet Leigh is his wife. Welles is the crooked cop and Marlene Dietrich plays his former flame, the local madam. Hard-hitting and gritty, the posters on this title are very collectible. This unrestored example has fold wear, stains in the top and bottom borders, a chip out of the top right corner, small nick in the bottom right corner, extra folds on the right and left sides, and a small tear (repaired with tape on the reverse) on the right side. The poster retains a fresh appearance with vibrant colors and good clarity. Fine+.

Stranger on the Third Floor (RKO, 1940). Lobby Cards (7) (11" X 14").
A haunting story about a man wrongly convicted of a crime, and the guilt and doubt felt by the newspaper reporter whose testimony sent him there, this gripping picture is largely considered to be the first film noir, a trend that would continue - through such pictures as The Maltese Falcon (1941), Gilda (1946), Out of the Past (1947), and Force of Evil (1948), among others - throughout most of the 1940s. Although Peter Lorre is given top billing here, he only appears in the film's final reel as the titular stranger. Nonetheless, this is a spectacular role for the talented Hungarian actor. Offered here are seven cards from the lobby set, missing only the title card. The Lorre card has a pinhole in the body of the card, tears at the borders, small chips in the bottom left, top left, and bottom right, and a small hole in the bottom border, although expert professional restoration has returned this classic piece to a like-new appearance; the rest of the cards are in excellent, unrestored condition.

Jeff Bailey (Robert Mitchum) is a man with a past, a past that returns to haunt him in the person of notorious gangster Whit Sterling (Kirk Douglas).

Don't let this one get past you! Fine+ on Cardstock.

Intricately plotted and tense, with well-rounded characters, Jacques Tourneur's Out of the Past is rightly considered one of the greatest film noirs ever created.

The Night of the Hunter (United Artists, 1955). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
Robert Mitchum was in top form headlining this moody film noir co-starring Shelley Winters and Lillian Gish, with an early performance from Peter Graves. But director Charles Laughton's use of light and shadow is perhaps the most impressive aspect of the classic thriller. Sadly, due to the film's poor reception, Laughton vowed never to direct again after its release - ironic too, in that it was Laughton who talked Lillian Gish out of semi-retirement for this film. Mitchum later stated that Charles Laughton was not only his favorite director, but that this was in fact his personal favorite performance out of all the films he had made in his extensive career. Light fold wear. Very Fine on Linen.

Born to Kill (RKO, 1946). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Robert Wise directed the genuinely hard-boiled actor Lawrence Tierney in this twist on the typical film noir where it's the man luring the woman to her doom. Claire Trevor plays the victim who's almost as bad as the killer (Tierney). This poster is vintage noir. There was a small tear in the top border and light fold wear. Now, after an excellent restoration, it displays very well. Very Fine on Linen.

Sunset Boulevard (Paramount, 1950). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Widely considered to be director Billy Wilder's masterpiece, this is the story of Joe Gillis, a young screenwriter (William Holden) who becomes involved with fading silent film starlet Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson), who has fallen into Hollywood obscurity as her devoted chauffeur Max (Erich von Stroheim) looks on. Mae West, Mary Pickford, and Pola Negri were all offered - and declined - the role of Norma before Swanson accepted the part. This great portrait card has pinholes in the top corners, a smudge in the bottom border, tears in the bottom and top borders, and a bend in the top left corner, but is otherwise in superb condition. Fine.

One of the definitive film noirs, this classic movie also marks the screen debut of Burt Lancaster, who plays a fading boxer whose murder sets off a brutal chain of events. Based on a short story by Ernest Hemingway, the film was nominated for four Oscars, including Best Director and Best Screenplay. The rare one sheet offered here had chips in the top and left borders, and some paper loss in the right side that extended to the center of the poster. After expert professional restoration, however, this hard-to-find sheet looks as good as new. Very Good/Fine on Linen.

Somewhere in Sonora (Warner Brothers, 1933). One Sheet (27" X 41").
After backing up Tim McCoy and Buck Jones in a series of B Westerns at Columbia, a young John Wayne was given the lead in his own series of horse operas at Warner Brothers. 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, small tears in the top border, pinpoint crossfold separations, and slight bleed-through from the stamp on the reverse. Unrestored one sheets from this early period in a 20th Century American icon's career are very rare! Very Fine.

The Telegraph Trail (Warner Brothers, 1933). Insert (14" X 36").
John Wayne stars as calvary scout John Trent who attempts to stop greedy opportunist Gus Lynch (Albert J. Smith) from fueling Indian uprisings. The Duke takes a more kid-friendly turn in this early effort, which is certainly more lighthearted in nature than many of his later films. Ironically enough, Wayne was paired with a stunning white stallion named "Duke" for this film. This 1933 Western was actually the movie shown to none other than James Cagney as an example of talking pictures, which led to him being cast in Footlight Parade the same year. There is some fold wear, rust stains on the top and left border, smudging on the borders, edge wear, slight surface paper loss on the bottom right corner and bottom center, and writing on the bottom border and below the credits. Folded, Fine-.

The New Frontier (Republic, 1935). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
When Monogram studios merged with Lone Star Productions and several other producers to form Republic Studios in 1935, John Wayne was one of the stars used to launch the new franchise. This Western was Wayne's second with Republic, a studio with which he would remain until the early 1950s. Republic produced some of the most attractive posters in the 1930s, and the three sheet offered here is a beautiful example of what makes them so collectible. Prior to restoration, it had pinholes in the corners, fold wear with chipping, a tear through the center left side of the image area, and an extra horizontal fold with some additional creasing in the bottom. Overall, however, this is a very presentable and highly desirable sheet, rarely offered for sale, that any fan of "The Duke" will be proud to own. Fine+ on Linen.

Republic produced some of the most attractive posters in the 1930s, and the three sheet offered here is a beautiful example of what makes them so collectible. Prior to restoration, it had pinholes in the corners, fold wear with chipping, a tear through the center left side of the image area, and an extra horizontal fold with some additional creasing in the bottom. Overall, however, this is a very presentable and highly desirable sheet, rarely offered for sale, that any fan of "The Duke" will be proud to own. Fine+ on Linen.
King of the Pecos (Republic, 1936). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
When he fails to get justice in the courts, law student John Wayne turns to frontier justice to get revenge against the corrupt land baron who killed his parents. Although Stagecoach was still three years in the future, Wayne was already a popular draw, as this poster demonstrates, with a huge image and starring credit for the Duke. Republic was a brand new studio in 1936, and some of their posters, such as this one, are outstanding in their graphics. Condition issues included pinholes in the corners, small tears in the borders, fold wear with slight paper loss in the folds, and some chipping in the borders, all of which has been addressed with restoration. Fine+ on Linen.

Pals of the Saddle (Republic, 1938). One Sheet (27" X 41").
John "Duke" Wayne makes his first appearance in the Three Mesquiteers series, taking over the role of Stony Burke from Robert Livingston, in this fast-paced installment directed by George Sherman. Here, Stony tracks down foreign agents who are attempting to smuggle a deadly chemical called "monium" out of the country. Ray "Crash" Corrigan and Max Terhune return in their regular roles. Wayne is certainly front and center on this colorful poster, which retains great color and clarity. Condition issues include pinholes in the corners and borders, smudging in the top and right borders, and fold wear. Fine/Very Fine.

Three Texas Steers (Republic, 1939). One Sheet (27" X 41").
The Three Mesquiteers, Stony (John Wayne), Tucson (Ray Corrigan) and Lullaby (Max Terhune) try to save a bankrupt circus from going under, mostly, let's face it, to help out the beautiful owner played by Carole Landis. Ralph Graves is the bad guy. This outstanding one sheet has a big image of Wayne and Landis, with fantastic color. Condition issues for this unrestored sheet include pinholes in the field, edge wear with small edge and fold tears, crossfold separations, and an extra diagonal crease. Fine/Very Fine.

Stagecoach (United Artists, 1939). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
After a decade of being saddled with roles in B Westerns, John Wayne was finally ready for the break that he had been looking for and a director that would make him a star. That director was John Ford and the film was Stagecoach. As John Wayne was not yet the household name that he would eventually become, his image was not readily used throughout the film's campaign making this half sheet considerably desirable. This example has pinholes in the borders, small creases in the corners and a tiny tear in the right border as well as light edge wear. The number "39" has been written in the bottom border but this is still one of the better pieces created for this John Wayne/John Ford classic. Rolled, Very Fine-.

John Wayne, Sigrid Gurie, and Charles Coburn star as three refugees from the Great Depression who travel to California in search of greener pastures. Wayne is secretly in love with Gurie, who pines for her boyfriend (Roland Varno), who turns out to be a Nazi! The insert has fold wear, pinholes in the borders, and bends on the top corners. The cards have pinholes in the corners, and some surface paper loss and foxing on the borders. Original release material on this Wayne title rarely turns up. The insert poster is folded. Fine.

Angel and the Badman (Republic, 1947). Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style A.
John Wayne's first film as actor and producer casts the Duke as a wounded outlaw who is taken in by a kindly Quaker family, including the hauntingly beautiful daughter (Gail Russell). Hard-bitten Wayne is healed, body and soul, by the family, but can't shake an obsession with killing the man (Bruce Cabot) who murdered his foster father. This lovely half sheet has a great image of the two leads in this, the most romantic of Wayne's films. Condition issues included edge wear with tears, pinholes in the borders and image area, and corner bends, all of which has been addressed with restoration. Very Good on Paper.

3 Godfathers (MGM, 1948). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
Robert Marmaduke Hightower (John Wayne), Pedro "Pete" Roca Fuerte (Pedro Armendariz), and William Kearney, better known as the Abilene Kid (Harry Carey Jr.) are three outlaws on the run after robbing a bank in Arizona. Everything goes as planned until the trio come across a dying woman and a newborn baby. Before the woman dies, she makes the three bandits promise to see her child to safety, no matter what the cost. A remake of director John Ford's 1916 film of the same name, the film is represented here by this highly desirable three sheet, with art by Tomaso. It has pinholes in the corners, crossfold separation, and edge wear, but is in all other respects extremely clean and attractive. One of John Wayne's best films, this poster should inspire some spirited bidding. From the Todd Feiertag Collection. Fine/Very Fine.

Red River (United Artists, 1948). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Cattleman Thomas Dunson (John Wayne), bitter and hard after a life of tragedy and loss, moves his herd from Texas to Missouri with his adopted son, Matthew (Montgomery Clift). Along the way, Dunson breaks down, and Matthew, leaving his father behind, continues the drive, with Dunson in hot pursuit, bent on vengeance. One of the darker films in the John Wayne canon, Borden Chase, the writer, claimed that this picture was Mutiny on the Bounty in a Western setting. The dramatic poster offered here had fold wear and a small chip in the right border, but expert professional restoration has rendered these slight flaws virtually invisible, returning the poster to a like-new appearance. Very Fine on Linen.

The Quiet Man (Republic, 1952). One Sheet (27" X 41").
A risky departure from the always-profitable Westerns he had been making for Republic Studios, this charming tale set in Ireland is one of the highpoints in the career of director John Ford. It tells the story of an Irish-American boxer (John Wayne) who returns to the land of his birth after accidentally killing a man in the ring. Anxious to just settle down to a quiet life, Wayne finds the peace he craves to be elusive, even after marrying the beautiful Maureen O'Hara. Although Republic was convinced that the film would be a failure, it went on to gross more than $4 million, a considerable sum for the studio at the time. Offered here is a wonderful original release one sheet for this popular film. Only some fold wear with crossfold separation, now rendered virtually invisible after expert professional restoration, keep this gem from an even higher grade. Very Fine on Linen.

The Searchers (Warner Brothers, 1956). One Sheet (27" X 41").
A fantastic cast -- John Wayne, Natalie Wood, Jeffrey Hunter, and Vera Miles -- topline this legendary Western directed by John Ford, from the novel by Alan LeMay. The bucolic imagery of the poster is rendered in lush earth tones, and is fraught with impending danger. This classic one sheet had fold wear and crossfold separations with minor paper loss, and small holes in the image area, all of which has been addressed with professional restoration. No more searching is necessary -- this is the one to bid on. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

The Searchers (Warner Brothers, 1956). Insert (14" X 36").
Perhaps the greatest Western ever made by the greatest director of Western films, John Ford's The Searchers is both a grand epic and subtle examination of one man's troubling morals. John Wayne stars as man whose service in the Confederate army and hatred of the Comanche has robbed him of any sense of human compassion, even towards his niece (Natalie Wood) who has been kidnapped by the tribe that he despises. Accompanied by his "half breed" nephew (Jeffrey Hunter), Wayne embarks on a 5-year mission, seemingly hell bent on killing the girl who has lived with Indians too long to be considered "white." This unrestored insert has been folded vertically and horizontally. There's a stain in the right border as well as a dust shadow in the top border and a crease in the bottom left corner. Folded, Fine.

The Outlaw (United Artists, 1943). Six Sheet (81" X 81").
The Outlaw has come to have the reputation of being the most controversial film made during the 1940s. It almost wasn't even released, as the Motion Picture Production Code office refused to approve the original script and then, after seeing a rough cut, deemed the film indecent for its close-up shots of Jane Russell's cleavage. Howard Hawks, the film's original director, left the project and Howard Hughes had to take over the shooting. 20th Century Fox, the original distributor, dropped the picture from its release schedule in late 1941 to avoid the controversy. After trying without success to get his original version released, Hughes finally decided to release the cut version of the film himself. On February 5, 1943, the film opened at San Francisco's Geary Theater to a national furor. People turned out in droves to see the film and it became a commercial success for Hughes's and made Jane Russell a national sensation. The poster campaign was as controversial as the movie. Hughes' publicity man, Russell Birdwell, created provocative posters of Russell and plastered them all over San Francisco. Some of the posters used the tagline, "How would you like to tussle with Russell?" while others billed it as, "The picture that couldn't be stopped!" It was a sensation. Some of the posters also advertised that Jane Russell could be seen in person at the theater, which was the truth. Hughes had been so incensed at the Production Code's changes that he had Russell and her co-star Jack Beutel perform a live, twenty minute scene that had been cut from the film following each screening! This went on for the entire six week run of the film at the Geary. Here then is a fantastic opportunity to acquire one of the most spectacular and most controversial six sheets ever created! This poster is from that six week run at the Geary when Jane Russell was appearing in person, giving it a historical significance. It is also the ultimate pin-up, as Russell reclines in the hay (an iconic image if there ever was one), even bigger than life. Since these posters were only used in the San Francisco area and it was normal for six sheets to be posted outdoors, subject to the weather, it is amazing that any survived. Offered here is a linen-backed example, which, prior to restoration, had a tear and a small chip in the top border, a tear in the right border, and fold wear with crossfold separation and paper loss in the folds. The restoration is exemplary, giving this incredible poster an outstanding appearance. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

The Outlaw (RKO, R-1950). Australian Daybill (13" X 30").
Of any film ever made by Hollywood, none had more publicity than Howard Hughes's The Outlaw. It was the first picture for nineteen-year-old Jane Russell, whose assets caused so much controversy, the film was held up from "official" release from 1941 until 1946. One of the major problems, and there were many, was the film's poster art. The pin-up appearance of many of the posters was considered too risqué, and had to be toned down for American audiences. This Australian daybill is far more attractive than the U. S. one sheet for the same release, and is evidently based on the Zoe Mozert art used for the Spanish release one sheet from 1946. This poster was already in exceptionally nice condition prior to linen-backing. Very Fine+ on Linen.

The Outlaw (United Artists, 1946). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Howard Hughes introduced the world to the lovely Jane Russell with this rather controversial film. Originally scheduled for release in 1941, the motion picture censors requested major cuts be made to some steamy segments, but Hughes adamantly refused, prompting the movie to be released after the war instead. The sultry art of Russell is provocative even today, and memorializes the classic imagery associated with this picture.The one sheet had a small chip off of the lower left corner and has had color retouch to the fold lines. The work was minor and the poster now appears near mint. Very Fine- on Linen.

Just Tony (Fox, 1922). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Tom Mix was so insanely popular that they eventually made a movie about his horse -- a true sign of silent stardom. In fact, Tony, talented steed that he was, actually plays more than just Tom's horse, essaying the role of a Spanish steed who has been mistreated and seeks revenge on humans, until Tom arrives to teach him that we're not all bad. This lovely stone litho poster had fold wear, a chip out of the top right corner, and minor edge chipping, all of which has been addressed with professional restoration. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Branding Broadway (Artcraft, 1918). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Although best known for his heroic - if somewhat grim - cowboy roles, William S. Hart, who both directed and starred in this picture, here appears as a broken-down cowpoke who, banished from the Arizona frontier town he calls home, hops on a train East and lands in New York City, where he becomes the personal bodyguard to a society dandy (Arthur Shirley). When Hart is tasked with retrieving some sensitive love letters sent by his boss to an attractive restaurant owner (Seena Owen), Hart finds himself falling for the girl, but quickly resolves to place the interests of his employer ahead of his own, eventually uniting the happy couple in this uncharacteristic comedy. Offered here is a beautiful stone litho one sheet from this film, featuring a great portrait of Hart. Small portions of the top and bottom left image are missing, and there were tears and chipping within the Image, but a superb job of professional restoration has brought this poster back to life, giving it a like-new appearance. This may very well be the only copy of this poster in existence, so you'll want to weigh condition issues against the very real possibility that this may be your one and only chance to acquire this exceedingly rare treasure. Good+ on Linen.

Big Boy Williams (Aywon Film, 1925). Personality Poster (20" X 27.5").
Will Rogers dubbed the 6' 2" solidly built actor Guinn Williams "Big Boy" when the two were making one of Williams's first pictures in 1919. The name stuck, and "Big Boy" went on to become one of the most popular character actors of the Golden Age of Hollywood. This striking personality poster is most likely from around 1922-24, during which time Williams made a series of lower budget Westerns for Aywon Films. This lovely and rare personality poster had a very small hole in the titles, a chip in the top right corner, a small hole in the top left, pinholes in the bottom borders, and a tear in the bottom border that extended into the image area. After the application of expert professional restoration, however, these slight flaws have been rendered virtually invisible. Fine/Very Fine on Paper.

Redskin (Paramount, 1929). Window Card (14" X 22").
Paramount's last silent picture, this follow-up to 1926's The Vanishing American is an indictment of the U.S. government's handling of Native Americans, and their attempts to "civilize" the tribes. The sequences depicting Native American life were shot in two-strip Technicolor; after that, the producers ran out of money and had to film the rest of the film in black and white. The story follows Wing Foot (Richard Dix), an Indian youngster who is dragged off his reservation, eventually becoming the first Native American to attend Thorpe College. Returning to the tribe, he is cast out for being "too white," now literally a man without a country. This striking window card had a tear in the right side, and a tear in Dix's cheek, but expert professional restoration has rendered these slight flaws virtually invisible. Very Fine- on Cardstock.

Texas Cyclone (Columbia, 1932). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
Texas Grant (Tim McCoy) rides into town, and is immediately mistaken for rancher Jim Rawlins, who's been dead for five years.

Wayne is featured on this action-packed half sheet, as well as McCoy, making this one of the more rare posters from Wayne's early career as he is not pictured on the one sheet! The poster has three small chipped corners, pinholes in the corners and image, a tear in the right border (repaired with tape on the reverse), and the title has been written in ink and barely visible in the bottom left border.

Two-Fisted Law (Columbia, 1932). Half Sheets (2) (22" X 28") Styles A and B.
Daredevil Tim McCoy toplines this Western programmer scripted by prolific pulp writer William Colt MacDonald, which can be seen as a prototype for MacDonald's later Three Mesquiteers series.

Both posters have fold wear with crossfold separation, and paper tape on the reverse. The B style has two tears which run into the image area. Folded, Very Good/Fine.

The Virginian (Paramount, 1929). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Although Gary Cooper feared that this film, his first talkie, would be the end of his career - believing his voice to be inadequate for the new medium - it actually had the opposite effect, instantly catapulting him from dependable leading man to international superstar. His taciturn portrayal of a Wyoming ranch foreman - The Virginian, whose true name is never mentioned - became a template upon which many later cowboy roles would be based. This exceptional lobby card shows pinholes in the borders, a small corner bend in the bottom right, and a light stain in the left border, but is otherwise extremely clean and attractive. If you've ever thrilled to a Hollywood Western, this card is for you! Very Fine+.

Errol Flynn, in another sensational adventure feature, is Wade Hatton, a cowboy who returns to Dodge City, Kansas along with his partner, Rusty (Alan Hale), to bring justice to the lawless town. Along the way, he falls in love with Abbie Irving (Olivia de Havilland), and eventually becomes the sheriff in order to deal with Jeff Surrett (Bruce Cabot) and his outlaw gang. An absolutely stunning poster, it had light edge wear at the bottom, touch-up work at the creases, and two areas (4" square) in the top white imprint area that were missing. The professional restoration has addressed these problems, and this unique jumbo window card displays very well. Fine- on Cardstock.

Jesse James (20th Century Fox, 1939). Insert (14" X 36").
Although the real Frank and Jesse James were a pair of low-life, murderous thugs, they're portrayed here, by Henry Fonda and Tyrone Power respectively, as a couple of solid citizens who only turn to a life of crime to avenge the death of their mother at the hands of greedy railroad tycoons. The result is a highly entertaining, if historically inaccurate, biopic, one that brilliantly showcases two outstanding actors. This extremely rare insert has pinholes in the corners, borders, and image area, cellophane tape on the reverse, creasing, a tear in the bottom border into the credits, a chip in the top border, tears in the borders with several on the right and left extending into the image area, and rounded top corners, but these slight flaws do nothing to detract from the overwhelming eye-appeal that this glorious piece possesses. Folded, Very Good/Fine.

This card has just minor pinholes in the upper and lower center border. Otherwise it is in spectacular condition! Very Fine+.

Any poster collector will be proud to own this exquisite gem. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Shane (Paramount, 1953). One Sheet (27" X 41").
An evil land baron tries to drive a group of settlers out of a homesteading community, but is foiled in his attempts by the arrival of a mysterious drifter named Shane (Alan Ladd).

The Lone Ranger (Warner Brothers, 1956). Insert (14" X 36").
Young John Reid, left for dead, was the only Texas Ranger to survive an ambush by the evil Butch Cavendish and his gang. Found and nursed back to health by an old Indian friend, Tonto, Reid recovered and vowed to dedicate his life to avenging his fallen comrades and eradicating evil in the Old West. Donning a black mask, he became the Lone Ranger, one of the most iconic fictional characters of the twentieth century. Although the Ranger had appeared on radio, in the pulps and comics, and in several serials prior to this feature film, it was here, in the person of Clayton Moore, that he found his greatest success. This dramatic insert shows pinholes at the top, a small tear in the top border, a bottom right corner bend, and some minor wrinkling at the top, but is in all other ways extremely clean and attractive. Highly displayable, this is one you'll want to show off to all your friends. Folded, Very Fine.

A Fistful of Dollars (Unidis, 1966). Italian Photobusta Set of 9 (18.75" X 26.5").
An Italian film made in Spanish locations for the equivalent of $200,000 during the spring of 1964. Cast with an American television actor who could not find work in American feature films, the film would spawn a generation of Western films that would come to be known as "Spaghetti Westerns." These country of origin photobustas have fold wear, pinholes, and stains in the borders and image and wear at the edges. One has a corner chip while another has tape in the corners.

For a Few Dollars More (PEA, 1965). Italian 2 - Folio (39" X 55").
The second in the "Man With No Name" trilogy by Sergio Leone served as another top Western for Lee Van Cleef. His role was initially offered to Henry Fonda, then Charles Bronson, and even Lee Marvin before Van Cleef was considered.

This terrific country-of-origin poster had pinholes in the corners, a tear on the left border, fold wear, some surface paper loss in the borders, and chips in the left border.

For a Few Dollars More (PEA, 1965). Italian Folio Set of 3 (26.75" X 36.5").
Clint Eastwood returns as The Man With No Name in this follow-up to director Sergio Leone's A Fistful of Dollars. This time, Eastwood is joined by the great Lee Van Cleef as Colonel Mortimer. The pair are bounty hunters on the trail of a deranged escaped convict chillingly played by Gian Maria Volonte. But while Eastwood seeks fortune, Van Cleef seeks revenge. Oddly enough, Leone had no interest in making a sequel to A Fistful of Dollars. But when PEA threatened to withhold payment for the first film, Leone catered to the studio's demand for a second movie. This set of country-of-origin posters features all three stars. Each of the three sheets had pinholes in the borders and wear at the fold lines, but they have undergone some restoration.

Clint Eastwood is truly larger than life on this giant Italian poster promoting For a Few Dollars More.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (PEA, R-1969). Italian 4 - Folio (55" X 78").
Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Eli Wallach starred in this highly praised film by Sergio Leone, which has become one of the most beloved Westerns of all time. As popular as Eastwood has become for his star-making "Man With No Name" role, the Italian audiences were exposed to his genius three whole years before Americans would be, when A Fistful of Dollars was released over there in 1964. We were still watching Clint on Rawhide at that point. But thankfully the Leone films were received in the USA, and audiences happily soaked them up like a sponge. This large, early re-issue Italian poster features great art, spotlighting the three main characters nicely. Prior to the professional restoration, there was a tear and a chip in the top border, small tears in the bottom border, fold wear and crossfold separations, and a small hole in the image area.

The Good, The Bad and the Ugly (PEA, 1966). Italian Locandina (13" X 27").
Sergio Leone's final film in his "Man With No Name" trilogy, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is still considered one of the greatest Western films ever produced, making posters from this film highly desirable. But what makes this piece so unique is that it is an original release, country-of-origin poster far different from anything used for the subsequent American release. Stars Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Eli Wallach are boldly featured on a silver background, with a Civil War battle scene offset to the right, a key plot device in the film. This Italian locandina designed by Franco Fiorenzi was used only for the Rome premiere and its limited run in that city. This unrestored poster has pinholes in the image and borders as well as light staining and wrinkling. There also is a tape stain in the upper portion of the image. This is a spectacular piece from one of the most important movies of a generation and a MUST HAVE addition to any Western collection.

The Good, The Bad and the Ugly (PEA, 1966). Italian Premiere Displays (3) (39" X 110").
Following the success of A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More, audiences were clamoring for more of director Sergio Leone's brash new style of Western. Executives at United Artists approached Leone, screenwriter Luciano Vincenzoni, and producer Alberto Grimaldi to gauge their interest in a third film. A deal was struck insuring a budget of $1.3 million and production was soon underway. In Spain, an international cast and crew was assembled which featured Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach in the feature roles. But even with a powerhouse director and three first rate stars, the production was plagued with mishaps, several of which threatened the very lives of the stars. Eli Wallach recalled that on one occasion, a crew member placed a jar of acid next to his soda. When Wallach reached for his drink, he inadvertently drank from the acid, nearly poisoning himself in the process! Stories of a film set out of control became almost as legendary as the film itself. In the end, the trouble proved lucrative for United Artists with a worldwide box office take of over $25 million! Opening in Italy in 1966, American audiences had to wait over a year for the film to hit their shores. But by then, word had spread that this "Spaghetti Western" was nothing short of sheer genius. This trio of country-of-origin posters was created for the Rome premiere of the film on December 15th, 1966. Each display is composed of two panels depicting the three stars; Eastwood, Van Cleef and Wallach. The Van Cleef poster has a tear at the bottom of one panel, the Eastwood poster has fold and edge wear with foxing in the image and the Wallach poster has a tear in the bottom border, foxing in the right border and wear along the edges. All three pieces have tape stains at the joints. None the less, the importance of these three poster cannot be overstated. Simply put, these three pieces are arguably the greatest posters ever created for the best and final film in "The Man With No Name" trilogy. The scarcity of these posters is second to none and an opportunity for ownership is not likely to come along again any time soon. Fine+.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (United Artists, 1968). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
This three sheet is very impressive, and a terrific representation of the fan-favorite Sergio Leone classic. Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Eli Wallach couldn't possibly have known the impact this film would have on Western enthusiasts over the years. Rumor has it that Orson Welles warned Leone not to make this film due to Civil War movies being box office poison. Looks like Sergio was smart to ignore that advice. Prior to professional restoration, there was some fold wear and centerfold separations, and a crease in the top left corner.

The poster had a tear on the left side of the image going into the title area, fold wear and crossfold separations with associated paper loss, and a chip in the bottom border, all of which has been addressed with professional restoration. This item is from the collection of David Frangioni, collector and author of the upcoming film poster book, from Palace Press International, entitled "Clint Eastwood: ICON." Fine/Very Fine on Linen.
Hang 'Em High (United Artists, 1968). Italian 2 - Folio (39" X 55").
Clint Eastwood stars as a man who survives a hanging, and returns as a lawman, looking to hang those who once tried to do him in. The film also featured Inger Stevens, Ed Begley, Pat Hingle, and Ben Johnson, with appearances by great actors like Bruce Dern and Dennis Hopper. Sergio Leone was originally approached to direct this film, but had to decline as he was already busy working on Once Upon a Time in the West, and Eastwood actually turned down starring in the bigger-budgeted Mackenna's Gold to make Hang 'Em High instead. This large Italian poster looks gorgeous and colorful, and has no real defects to speak of - an excellent piece. This item is from the collection of David Frangioni, collector and author of the upcoming film poster book, from Palace Press International, entitled "Clint Eastwood: ICON". Very Fine+ on Linen.

Coogan's Bluff (Universal, 1968). Italian 2 - Folio (39" X 55").

This striking poster had light fold wear, but expert professional restoration has thoroughly addressed this issue.

Dirty Harry (Warner Brothers, 1971). British Quad (30" X 40").
In this action-packed movie, Clint Eastwood - previously best known as "The Man with No Name" in director Sergio Leone's "Dollars" Trilogy - plays Inspector Harry Callahan, a hard-bitten San Francisco cop on the trail of a vicious serial killer. Harry's classic line, "You've got to ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky? Well do ya, punk?" has become a pop culture classic. This wonderful British quad had some light fold wear, and small tears in the bottom left corner and the top border, but these slight flaws have been rendered virtually invisible by expert professional restoration. Additionally, the banner, "Retained for a Further Week" has been sniped at the top of the poster. In all regards, this is a beautiful and highly desirable piece that you will be proud to own.

Dr. No (United Artists, 1962). Lobby Cards (4) (11" X 14").
These four lobby cards from the inaugural James Bond film depict Sean Connery as 007 in various scenes from the movie. Whether it's standing side by side with a bikini-clad Ursula Andress, or landing a punch on a random thug, it's easy to see why audiences took so well to Connery's portrayal of the famous secret agent. This was the first of three Bond films to be directed by Terence Young, and the first of six films with Connery in the role. It was reported that creator Ian Fleming was so impressed with Connery's performance as 007 that he gave the character Scottish ancestry in the novel On Her Majesty's Secret Service. There is a light smudge on the right border of two of the cards. Very Fine.

From Russia with Love (United Artists, 1964). Italian 2 - Folio (39" X 55").
James Bond creator Ian Fleming was initially unsure about Sean Connery playing his beloved character, but was reportedly won over upon viewing this second theatrical outing, the first 007 film that he had personally seen. After the success of Dr. No, the producers doubled the budget for its sequel, and subsequently production on Goldfinger had already started by the time From Russia With Love was released. The artwork on this Italian version of the poster is radically different from the American paper, and dare we say considerably more impressive. There is some fold wear, pinholes in the corners and bottom, crossfold separations, a tear in the right border into the image area, a small tear in the left border, and a small tear in the image area. Features art by Ciniello. Fine+ on Linen.

From Russia with Love (United Artists, 1964). Three Sheet (41" X 81") Flat Folded Style B.
The second James Bond film has rather modest ambitions -- it concerns not the domination of the world, but the acquisition of a Russian coding device. Nonetheless, many of the traditional Bond elements make their debut here, including the character Q, John Barry's distinctive musical score, and a suave, less brutal Bond (Sean Connery). This stunning three sheet has everything a Bond fan could ask for, and more. Minor edge wear and some very light corner creases are the only condition issues with this stunning, unrestored piece. Very Fine+.

A Clockwork Orange (Warner Brothers, 1971). Promotional Poster (24" X 36").
A Clockwork Orange was an immediate sensation upon its release in 1971, with the image created by Philip Castle and art directed by Kubrick, Bill Gold and Mike Kaplan, as compellingly striking as the film itself. Within weeks of its release, a publisher-printer of "Personality Posters," normally black and white photographic posters of cultural icons like Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Clint Eastwood, James Dean, approached Kubrick to print a personality poster of the poster art itself. Kubrick agreed -- note the copyright by Polaris Productions (Kubrick's US company) and Warner Bros. -- and the resulting poster has the iconic artwork in the largest proportion to any other poster size, with no cast or production credits. This is probably the first personality poster produced for a film and it was distributed at a variety of specialty stores throughout the US in 1972. Very few copies remain. Several years ago, the Odeon Cinema Circuit in the United Kingdom conducted a poll asking their patrons to select the best film poster. A Clockwork Orange was voted number one. Rolled, Near Mint.

This is probably the first personality poster produced for a film and it was distributed at a variety of specialty stores throughout the US in 1972. Very few copies remain. Several years ago, the Odeon Cinema Circuit in the United Kingdom conducted a poll asking their patrons to select the best film poster. A Clockwork Orange was voted number one. Rolled, Near Mint.

A Clockwork Orange (Warner Brothers, 1971). One Sheet (27" X 41").
The original poster with the Philip Castle artwork was used for the original X-rated release in all the major markets, beginning with the 4-city premiere engagements in NY, LA, San Francisco and Toronto in December, 1971. The film in its X-rated version continued playing for the next six months as it was released in all key North American cities, almost always establishing house records.
When CLOCKWORK was marginally altered to achieve an R-rating, Kubrick wanted to call attention to the rating with another image, as the Castle artwork had already become iconic and the film would now be available for viewing by a wider audience.
He liked this design by David Pelham of the Canadian paperback edition of the Anthony Burgess novel and had it adapted as the new poster for an R-announcement release. It was used for a short time before the original Castle image was reinstituted. This poster had a limited press run and as it was directly tied to the American rating, it was only seen in North America, whereas the Castle design was used throughout the world. It is therefore the rarest of official Clockwork Orange posters. This copy is probably the most pristine to have ever been offered, as it was one of the few to come directly from the printer to the Warner Brothers marketing offices at the Burbank studios. Rolled, Very Fine/Near Mint.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Allied Artists, 1956). Lobby Cards (4) (11" X 14").
More than a mere "alien invasion" film, this classic picture spoke directly to the Cold War dread that many Americans felt about the threatened infiltration of the country by the seemingly ever-present Communist menace. Whether one reads it as political metaphor or sci-fi thriller, there's no arguing that it's one of the top films of the 1950s, a genre classic that remains strong to this day. Offered here are four lobby cards; all show bottom right corner bends and light handling wear, one has some light foxing on the reverse. Otherwise, these cards are clean and attractive, making them highly desirable for any sci-fi fan. Very Fine-.

Invasion of the Saucer-Men (American International, 1957). Insert (14" X 36").
American International produced this out-of-this-world sci-fi epic in 1957, featuring an early performance from Frank Gorshin (the Riddler on TV's Batman). The art on the poster is by Albert Kallis; Paul Blaisdell designed the Saucer-Men and their ships for the film. Promising "teenagers versus aliens," and "earth attacked by flying saucers," this image did a great job drawing audiences into their local theaters or drive-ins. There is some surface paper loss on the reverse top center, a small tear on the top center, three tape stains on the bottom border, several soft folds, and light tanning at the edges. The defects mentioned do not detract from the striking imagery of this classic insert. Rolled, Fine+.

The Thing from Another World (RKO, 1951). Poster (40" X 60").
We have never sold this particular style of The Thing from Another World . Typically the advertising for this film just features the logo. This style asks the question "Natural or supernatural?," followed by a large credit for Howard Hawks. Couple that with this poster's larger size, and you've got a definitive collectible from a classic film. Prior to the expert restoration, there was some edge wear with small bits of paper loss, a tear in the top left border, corner chips, and creasing throughout. Despite these flaws, this is an impressive and rarely seen version worthy of any collection. Fine+ on Linen.

The Thing from Another World (RKO, 1951). Lobby Card Set of 8 (11" X 14").
Based on John W. Campbell Jr.'s classic short story, "Who Goes There?", this dramatic film, about a creature from a distant world recovered from the Arctic ice by a team of research scientists, remains one of the most suspenseful and engrossing science fiction films of the 1950s.

After expert professional restoration, these slight flaws have been rendered all but invisible, making this a set that will make any sci-fi collector proud. Fine.

The Astounding She Monster (American International, 1958). Poster (40" X 60").
A triumph of low-budget filmmaking, this engrossing sci-fi flick is about a trio of kidnappers who run afoul of a mysterious alien with a deadly, radioactive touch (Shirley Kilpatrick, a curvy ex-stripper), whose spaceship crashes near their remote hideout. This was director Ronald V. Ashcroft's first directorial effort, and he was reportedly so unprepared that he asked Edward D. Wood Jr. - director of the cinematic classic Plan Nine from Outer Space (1959) - to act as a consultant. Offered here is a beautiful poster for this fondly-remembered film. It had edge wear with some creasing, and a surface tear in the right side of the image area that does not go to the edge. It is, however, a wonderful poster that you will be proud to own and display. Very Fine- on Linen.

The Mole People (Universal International, 1956). Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style B.
No doubt about it, this is Hugh Beaumont's best film, a nifty sci-fi thriller about scientists who descend into the bowels of the earth and find an entire civilization of albinos who keep grotesque creatures -- the mole people of the title -- as slaves. John Agar and Cynthia Patrick are the romantic leads, and keep an eye out for Batman's butler, Alan Napier, as the High Priest. This outstanding half sheet has a great head shot of a monster and cool, atmospheric artwork with comic book-style inserts. Virtually pristine, this had some fold wear and a small hole in the left border, which has been addressed with professional restoration. Very Fine- on Paper.

Vogel would go on to helm such classic TV series as Wagon Train and The Big Valley. Beaumont and John Agar are archeologists who come upon an ancient tribe of albino Sumarians who live far below Mesopotamia and who have enslaved the Mole People. The cards have light edge wear, a pinhole in each, and have been cleaned, with touch-up in the borders. Very Fine-.

Target Earth (Allied Artists, 1954). Six Sheet (81" X 81").
Adapted from the story Deadly City by Paul W. Fairman, this features a mismatched set of survivors (Virginia Grey, Kathleen Crowley, Richard Denning, Dick Reeves) who find themselves alone in a suddenly deserted Chicago. Well -- not quite alone: there's a hoard of Venusian robots (seen only one at a time, of course) who are hunting them down. This rousing six sheet has spectacular artwork showing an army of metal men towering over the ruined city -- slightly more ambitious than the producers could afford! But it still makes for one fantastic poster, with gorgeous color and a cool design. Condition issues were minor and included pinholes in the borders, two small puncture holes in the top field area, a tear at the lower right border, fold wear with crossfold separations, and some border smudging, all of which has been addressed with excellent professional restoration. Very Fine- on Linen.

The Day the Earth Stood Still (20th Century Fox, 1951). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
Based on Harry Bates's short story "Farewell to the Master," this science fiction allegory attracted A-list director Robert Wise because of its anti-military stance. For the kids, however, it was all about Gort, laser beams, flying saucers, and "Klaatu barada nikto." Condition issues included slight upper border wear, three tears in the right border, one extending into Gort's legs, a minor hole in the bottom center border, and pinholes in the corners, all of which has been addressed with excellent professional restoration. Still one of the greatest science fiction films ever made, this poster would be a great cornerstone for any sci-fi collection. The colors on this poster have remained very strong and the poster now appears near mint. Rolled, Very Fine- on Paper.

Offered here is a wonderful set of lobby cards from this fan-favorite film. The title card, which sports beautiful Reynold Brown artwork, shows foxing in the bottom and right borders, five cards display pinholes in the corners, and one card has a tear in the bottom border. Aside from these minor flaws, this set is in excellent condition, and will no doubt prove a welcome addition to any collection. Fine/Very Fine.
Attack of the Crab Monsters (Allied Artists, 1957). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
What should have been a simple trip to an obscure South Pacific island turns into a nightmare of terror when a group of scientists, investigating the disappearance of their colleagues who had previously been sent to the island to observe American hydrogen bomb tests, are attacked by horribly mutated giant crab monsters who communicate telepathically and have a fondness for human blood. An early feature from director Roger Corman, the picture features Russell Johnson, who would find himself stranded on another island with six other castaways several years later. This colorful and dramatic half sheet shows edge wear with light tanning, tears in the borders, fold wear, and extra creases, but is, overall, a very presentable and attractive piece. Folded, Fine/Very Fine.

Attack of the Crab Monsters (Allied Artists, 1957). Insert (14" X 36").
From the depths of the sea rise a group of terrifying, atomically mutated crabs with supernatural intelligence. These creatures have already killed a group of scientists on a remote island, and now a rescue crew has landed to investigate, and to prevent the monsters from reproducing. This action-packed thriller from Roger Corman is a scant 61 minutes, just enough time to instill a fear of the effects of nuclear blasts on the natural world. The poster had a tear in the top border, pinholes in the field, and fold wear. It has been expertly restored and now these issues are no longer apparent. This is one of the most popular posters of the 1950s sci-fi genre, and a must have for collectors. Very Fine on Paper.

The Wasp Woman (Film Group, 1959). One Sheet (27" X 41").
In the 1950s, female corporate executives were extremely rare; in this horror classic, it is the deadly sin of vanity that brings her to her downfall.

Directed by Roger Corman, this top sci-fi thriller co-stars Fred Eisley, Michael Mark, and Barboura Morris. The poster has fold wear, pinholes in the corners, a small chip in the right border at a fold, light stains at the bottom, and light smudges in the borders. There is an area of writing on the reverse that shows through slightly in the top left border only. The poster has been professionally mounted on linen, but no other restoration work has been done. As one of the best movie images from the sci-fi genre, with Cabot eyeing her next victim, this great one sheet is always popular when it can be found. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Tarantula (Universal International, 1955). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
This impressive three sheet spotlights the giant arachnid thriller starring John Agar, Mara Corday, and Leo Carroll. Tarantula came out in 1955, following the success of another giant bug movie Them in 1954, which featured giant ants. Fans have held this film in high regard, mainly because of it's strong opening and big finish, and particularly because of its impressive special effects. A live spider was used in filming, with air jets encouraging it which way to move over a miniature landscape. Even an uncredited Clint Eastwood shows up toward the end as a jet squadron leader attacking the giant eight-legged menace. There are pinholes in the corners and borders, and some crinkling overall. Reynold Brown art. Very Fine on Linen.

Mickey Mouse Stock Poster (United Artists, 1935). One Sheet (27" X 41").
By the early 1930s, several studios had experimented with cartoons in Technicolor's two-color process. In 1932, Technicolor approached Disney with its latest tests on a three-color process that encompassed all the colors of the rainbow. Disney was the only one convinced that the new process would be a real asset to his films; even his brother, Roy, tried to discourage him. But Walt signed a three year exclusive deal in the animation field, and when his first Technicolor short Flowers and Trees won an Academy Award, it turned into a jackpot for the young pioneer. In February 1935, Disney made his first Technicolor Mickey Mouse cartoon. This gorgeous stock poster heralds that event! The glorious poster offered here had pinholes in the corners, a tear from the border into the image, tears in the bottom and top right borders, fold wear, and a chip in the top right border. These flaws are now visible only under the closest examination, since the completion of expert professional restoration. If you're a fan of Mickey Mouse, one of the most iconic fictional characters of the twentieth century, this is the poster for you! Fine- on Linen.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (RKO, 1937). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
When Walt Disney began work on this film in 1934, proposed as a 90-minute, fully animated feature, it was quickly dubbed "Disney's Folly." Walt's wife Lillian and his brother Roy tried to talk him out of going ahead with the production, but he was committed to the film, even taking a mortgage on his home to finance it. After three years, nearly $1.5 million, and the efforts of more than 550 artists, the picture premiered on December 21,1937, it grossed more than $8.5 million in its initial release, quickly becoming the most successful motion picture of all time (a distinction it held until the release of Gone with the Wind in 1939). Folly indeed! Since then, it has become a timeless classic, thrilling and enchanting generation after generation of fans, young and old alike. Not surprisingly, paper from this title is considered highly desirable and extremely collectible. The title card offered here has a pinhole in the top center border, pinholes in the bottom corners, a small stain in the lower left, and a corner bend in the bottom left. None of these slight flaws detract in any way from the overwhelming beauty and appeal of this highly sought-after card. Whether you're a fan of classic Disney or just great films, this card is for you! Fine/Very Fine.

After three years, nearly $1.5 million, and the efforts of more than 550 artists, the picture premiered on December 21,1937, it grossed more than $8.5 million in its initial release, quickly becoming the most successful motion picture of all time (a distinction it held until the release of Gone with the Wind in 1939). Folly indeed! Since then, it has become a timeless classic, thrilling and enchanting generation after generation of fans, young and old alike. Not surprisingly, paper from this title is considered highly desirable and extremely collectible. The title card offered here has a pinhole in the top center border, pinholes in the bottom corners, a small stain in the lower left, and a corner bend in the bottom left. None of these slight flaws detract in any way from the overwhelming beauty and appeal of this highly sought-after card. Whether you're a fan of classic Disney or just great films, this card is for you! Fine/Very Fine.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (RKO, 1937). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
One of the greatest of all film villains, the Evil Witch mixes a malevolent potion in this chilling scene from Disney's first fully-animated feature film. The card has pinholes in the top and bottom center, faint smudges in the corners, and very light foxing in the top and bottom borders. These slight flaws are barely noticeable, save under close examination, making this a great piece that any Disney collector will be proud to own. Very Fine-.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (RKO, 1937). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Gustaf Tenggren was born in Sweden. His early schooling and artistic influences were grounded in Scandinavian techniques, motifs and myths. His career took a dramatic turn in 1936, when Tenggren went to work for Walt Disney. You can see his work throughout Snow White and in his Arthur Rackham-esque trees featured prominently in the forest scenes. This lobby is one of the best of the set and features wonderful Tenggren art. Often referred to as the "Forest" card, this depicts the flight of Snow White through the woods to escape the Queen's murderous huntsman. This incredible lobby card has pinholes in the borders and slight smudging on the bottom border. Very Fine.

It's Christmas Eve, and Snow White helps the Seven Dwarfs hang their stockings by the mantel in this charming scene from one of Walt Disney's most beloved films. This card has pinholes and some light staining in the borders, but is, overall, extremely clean and attractive. Very Fine.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (RKO, 1937). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Called "the greatest film ever made" by Soviet montage filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein, this classic film is a perennial favorite. In this emotional and poignant scene, the Seven Dwarfs grieve for the seemingly-dead Snow White. This beautiful card shows pinholes in the borders, and a light smudge in the bottom border, but is otherwise unmarked. If you're a fan of this great film - and who isn't? - you owe it to yourself to bid on this beauty. Very Fine.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (RKO, 1937). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
The Hollywood industry was convinced that this 1937 animated movie would fail, even going so far as to label the film "Disney's Folly." This was the first full-length animated motion picture to be released from the United States and, incidentally, the first film ever to have a soundtrack release. On this vintage lobby, Snow White confronts the Seven Dwarfs, including the always stubborn Grumpy. It turns out Hollywood was very wrong in their assessment of the movie, particularly when it walked away with one regular-sized Academy Award... and seven smaller ones - true story! This beautiful lobby card has just pinholes in the borders, and a light smudge in the top border. Very Fine.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (RKO, 1937). Lobby Cards (2) (11" X 14").
Here are two great lobby cards from the 1937 animated classic by Walt Disney. The Seven Dwarfs are spotlighted here, with one card depicting the famous "Hi-Ho" scene, and the other showing a startled Dopey. There were fifty ideas for the dwarf names and personalities in the original proposal for the film; oddly enough Dopey and Doc were not on that list. For all you Disney trivia hounds out there, it should be noted that Pinto Colvig, who voiced Sleepy and Grumpy in the film, was in fact also the voice of Goofy. On the "Hi-Ho" card, there is a piece missing on the top border with a tear, pinholes in the borders, a tear on the top right, and light smudging in the bottom border; on the "Dopey" card, there are pinholes and light smudging in the borders. Fine+.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (RKO, R-1943). One Sheet (27" X 41").
No one in Hollywood thought Walt Disney's animated film would succeed, but this Academy Award-winning classic proved them wrong in a big way. It became the highest grossing film of all-time, until the following year when Gone with the Wind dethroned it. This poster comes from the 1943 re-release (the movie's first re-release), and features bright colors and our heroine surrounded by her newfound friends. Prior to restoration, there was fold wear, crossfold separations, and pinholes in the corners. Light soiling in the bottom border was not addressed by the restoration. Fine+ on Linen.

All cards have light corner bumps, and various individual cards have soiling, smudges, and light edge wear; two cards have pinholes in the corners, and the rest have one pinhole in the top center.

Fantasia (RKO, 1940). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style A.
One of Walt Disney's most ambitious projects, this timeless film - in which top-notch animation is artfully blended with pieces of classical music - was a box office disappointment upon its initial release. It wasn't until the 1969 re-release - and the surge of interest in the film's psychedelic imagery - that the movie took its rightful place among the ranks of Disney's greatest pictures. The rare and highly desirable one sheet offered here had pinholes in the corners, fold wear with crossfold separation, and small edge tears, but expert professional restoration renders these slight flaws virtually invisible, making the poster look like a million bucks. Don't let this one get away! Very Fine- on Paper.

Pinocchio IGA Collectible Stamps (RKO, 1940). Promotional Poster (26.5" X 78").
Walt Disney's adaptation of Carlo Collodi's beloved tale of a puppet who wants to be a boy was the studio's second animated film (after Snow White) and had an incredible budget of $2.3 million. Dick Jones voices the indelible Pinocchio, Cliff Edwards is the memorable Jiminy Cricket, and Evelyn Venable is the Blue Fairy. An Academy Award winner for best score, best song and best music, the film remains one of the studio's most popular productions.

Pinocchio (RKO, 1940). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Walt Disney's second feature film (and the first to use Multiplane Technicolor) is the classical story of a little puppet that wants to be a real boy. Pinocchio was a major hit for the studio and proved that Snow White wasn't a fluke. This superb lobby card -- commemorating one of the funniest scenes in the film -- is virtually pristine, with corner pinholes being the only issue; you'd be hard pressed to find a better example. Very Fine.

Pinocchio (RKO, 1940). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
After Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs proved the viability of feature length animated films, Walt Disney's second release was this retelling of the Carlo Collodi story. This card features a nice shot of the Blue Fairy and Pinocchio and represents a pivotal part of the film. Condition issues included pinholes in the corners and borders, which have been smoothed over with professional restoration. Very Fine.

Dumbo (RKO, 1941). Three Sheet (41" X 81") Style B.
When the other circus animals make fun of Dumbo due to his oversized ears, Timothy Q. Mouse steps up and teaches the plaintive pachyderm to achieve his full potential. After the disappointing box office performance of Pinocchio (1940) and Fantasia (1940), Walt Disney desperately needed a hit. He got one with this outstanding film, which brought in better than $2.5 million in its initial release, more than the budgets of his previous two films combined. This exceptionally rare and attractive three sheet had pieces missing throughout the poster, tearing in the image area, and chipping at the fold lines and the borders. Expert professional restoration has rendered these flaws virtually invisible, returning the poster to a like-new appearance. Whether you're young, or merely young at heart, this is a poster you'll be proud to own. Very Good on Linen.

Dumbo (RKO, 1941). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
"Dumbo! The ninth wonder of the univoise! The world's only flyin' elephant!" Aside from the title card, this card is considered by many to be the best card from the set. The great scene where Dumbo thinks he's a bird and is joined by the crows for a little ribbing is pictured here. Condition issues included pinholes in the borders, rounded corners, light staining in the field, light surface paper loss in the bottom border, some of which has been addressed with restoration. Fine+.

Lady and the Tramp (Buena Vista, 1955). One Sheet (27" X 41").
This beloved animated fable, about two dogs from opposite sides of the tracks that meet and fall in love, was a landmark for Disney in several ways: first, it was their first animated feature released in Cinemascope, and second, it was their first full-length feature based, not on an established "classic" like Snow White or Sleeping Beauty, but on a wholly original story. The charming one sheet offered here had fold wear, pinholes in the corners, a tear in the left border, and a small chip in the right border, but now looks as good as new following expert professional restoration. This is one you'll be proud to add to your collection. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Sleeping Beauty (Buena Vista, 1959). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style B.
Based on the classic fairy tale by Charles Perrault, Walt Disney created another animation masterpiece that is loved the world over. Opera singer Mary Costa is the voice of Princess Aurora with Bill Shirley, Eleanor Audley, and Verna Felton as supporting characters. The animation process, which was still done by hand at this time, took nearly nine years to complete, and the result is a very detailed and richly colored work of art. This beautiful poster, the hard-to-find style B, was in need of only minimal restoration to address crossfold separations, and fold wear. Very Fine+ on Linen.

Mutt & Jeff - An Ace and a Joker (Fox, 1918). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Created by Bud Fisher in 1907, Mutt and Jeff quickly became a hit with comic strip readers. So, it made perfect sense for the duo to make the jump to the screen. In 1916, Fisher licensed Mutt and Jeff to animators Raoul Barre' and Charles Bowers. The result was a series that lasted 11 years with more than 300 shorts being produced. This restored one sheet had tears in the upper left quarter and the borders. There were also chips at the folds, top border and in the image. Fine+ on Linen.

Little Black Sambo (Celebrity Productions, 1935). One Sheet (27" X 41").
The original story upon which this short cartoon is based was written by Helen Bannerman in 1899, and was set in India. In Bannerman's original story, a young boy named Sambo - portrayed as either Southern Indian or Tamil - is threatened by four tigers, and must give them his new clothes, shoes, and umbrella to keep them from eating him. Eventually, he is able to trick them into racing around a tree so quickly that they turn into butter. The story went through many changes and reinterpretations during its publishing history, and is currently available in several more politically sensitive versions. The poster here, designed to promote the Ub Iwerks cartoon, presents Sambo as the black stereotype that was typical of the 1930s. It had a tear in the top and fold wear, but expert professional restoration has thoroughly addressed these minor issues. Additionally, there is a chip in one of the coconuts that is currently unrestored. All in all, however, this is a wonderful - and hard-to-find - poster that you will be proud to own. Very Fine- on Linen.

Symphony in Slang (MGM, 1951). One Sheet (27" X 41").
In this slightly atypical Tex Avery cartoon, the running monologue is just as important as the sight gags, as a couple of heavenly saints try to make sense of 1950s slang. It's raining cats and dogs on this nifty one sheet, and the poster has great artwork and sharp colors. Condition issues include edge wear with small tears, a long crossfold separation at the center, a small hole in the top border, and corner creases. Fine/Very Fine.

Mighty Mouse Stock (20th Century Fox, 1945). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Studio head Paul Terry initially rejected Izzy Klein's proposal for "Super Fly," a fly with superhuman powers, but shortly thereafter, he used the idea as the basis for his own character, Mighty Mouse. The character, soon to become one of the most popular cartoon characters ever brought to screen, debuted in the short, The Mouse of Tomorrow, released on October 16, 1942. Other shorts quickly followed, and within a few years, Mighty Mouse had made the leap from the silver screen to the printed page, appearing in several comic books. Later still, he would be a staple of the early television era. The poster offered here is a stock sheet that bears the title of an early Mighty Mouse cartoon, Mighty Mouse Meets Bad Bill Bunion, which was released on November 9, 1945. It shows edge wear in the bottom border, a tear at the top fold line with paper tape on the reverse, edge wear with small tears at the folds, a small chip in the bottom left corner, and some extra vertical creasing, but this is, overall, a very attractive and highly desirable poster, featuring a fabulous image of an iconic cartoon character.

The Shooting of Dan McGoo (MGM, R-1951). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Tex Avery directs another manic cartoon that features three of his favorite characters, Droopy the dog, the Wolf, and a seductive damsel, this time named Lou. Loosely based on the famous Robert Service poem, it quickly turns into a series of outrageous sight gags. Droopy, as Dan McGoo, vies with the dastardly Wolf for the affections of songstress Lou, which leads to the famous shootout. This is one of Avery's best cartoons and is well represented by the great poster artwork. Prior to excellent restoration, this poster had fold wear with crossfold separation, pinholes in the corners, and a small hole in the right border. Very Fine on Linen.

Featured in this great lobby set are many of the wonderful Terry-Toon characters, including the always popular Mighty Mouse, Heckle & Jeckle, Dinky Duck, Sourpuss, and Gandy Goose. Six of the cards grade near mint. The Sourpuss card has a tear in the top border and a crease on the left side, and the Heckle & Jeckle card has a bottom right corner bend and light toning.

The "Our Gang" kids, led by Joe Cobb and Farina, come to the rescue of Chief Cummings. He owns a horse-drawn cab, and a motorized taxicab driver is taking away his business. This wonderful card has great shots of the gang, including Pete the Pup. Except for staining on the bottom and right borders, this card is in excellent shape. Very Fine-.

Alfalfa's Double (MGM, 1940). One Sheet (27" X 41").
When Alfalfa (Carl Switzer) comes face-to-face with Cornelius (also Switzer), a dead ringer for Alfalfa who is also fabulously wealthy, the boys decide to switch places in this rollicking Our Gang comedy. Also appearing in this classic one-reeler are such favorites as Robert "Mickey" Blake, Darla Hood, George "Spanky" McFarland, and Billie "Buckwheat" Thomas. This wonderful stone litho poster had pinholes in the corners, fold wear with chips, crossfold separation, tears in the right border, and edge wear in the left border, but expert professional restoration has rendered these slight flaws virtually invisible. If you're a fan of these Little Rascals - and who ain't? - you'll certainly want to bid on this rare beauty. Fine- on Linen.

Oh, Mabel Behave (Triangle, 1922). One Sheet (27" X 41").
This is a very historically significant one sheet in the annals of silent screen comedy. Mabel Normand and Mack Sennett were linked together romantically and of course, to the earliest history of screen comedy. Director Sennett met Normand while at Biograph Studios and embarked on a tumultuous affair with her. He later brought her to the newly founded Keystone Studios in 1912 and as a result she rose to the top of her profession as her comedic talent began to blossom. In 1918, her romance with Sennett ended and she left Keystone to join Sam Goldwyn Studios, never to return to the studio that made her famous. The film, directed by Sennett and Ford Sterling, for which this poster was produced was made earlier but not released until 1922. This gorgeous one sheet featuring the two lovers from a period in 1917 before their romance dissolved, is a charming stone litho one sheet which had minor edge chipping, a piece missing in the bottom border, and about .5" trimmed from the top and left borders, but thanks to expert professional restoration, it now looks as good as new. Very Good+ on Linen.

Director Sennett met Normand while at Biograph Studios and embarked on a tumultuous affair with her. He later brought her to the newly founded Keystone Studios in 1912 and as a result she rose to the top of her profession as her comedic talent began to blossom. In 1918, her romance with Sennett ended and she left Keystone to join Sam Goldwyn Studios, never to return to the studio that made her famous. The film, directed by Sennett and Ford Sterling, for which this poster was produced was made earlier but not released until 1922. This gorgeous one sheet featuring the two lovers from a period in 1917 before their romance dissolved, is a charming stone litho one sheet which had minor edge chipping, a piece missing in the bottom border, and about .5" trimmed from the top and left borders, but thanks to expert professional restoration, it now looks as good as new. Very Good+ on Linen.
Behind the Screen (Mutual, 1916). Window Card (14" X 22").
By the time Charlie Chaplin signed on with the Mutual Film Corporation in 1916, he was already recognized as one of the leading artists working in the medium of silent film. Although he had been making successful pictures at Essanay Studios previously, Mutual's offer of $670,000 for twelve two-reel comedies, with virtually complete artistic freedom and control, was hard to resist. This, the seventh film in Chaplin's Mutual contract, pokes fun at the very industry that made him a star, and is widely considered to be one of Chaplin's best. The beautiful window card offered here had edge wear, a small hole just under the word "Mutual" at the bottom, missing paper on the left and right border, and a small hole in the bottom corner. After expert professional restoration, however, this exquisite - and highly desirable - poster looks every bit as good as new. From a period that many consider the high point of Chaplin's career, this is a rare gem that you will display proudly. Fine- on Cardstock.

Fickle Fatty's Fall (Triangle-Keystone, 1915). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle became a star in the early teens in the extremely popular Keystone Kops comedies. In 1915, the Keystone Studios, run by Mack Sennett, became part of the Triangle Film Corporation and, during 1915-1916, Arbuckle starred in a dozen shorts for the studio, all of which he directed as well. Many of these early films co-starred Arbuckle's wife at the time, Minta Durfee. This rare and gorgeous stone litho one sheet is from one such production, and features colorful and rich renderings of the cast. The poster had small areas of missing paper on both the right and left sides of the image, and the area with the letters "NGLE" of Triangle and "TON" of Keystone, all of which has been professionally replaced. There was a chip in the bottom border, tears in the right side of the image, and one in the top border. Although this poster had severe issues, it has been impeccably restored, rendering the losses unnoticeable, and it now displays magnificently. Few posters of this era survive in any condition, making this a valuable and highly collectible treasure of cinema history. Good/Very Good on Linen.

Love (Paramount, 1919). One Sheet (28" X 42").
Agile for a large man, Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle's loveable nature and gift for physical comedy made him one of Hollywood's most beloved stars. But a scandal surrounding the death of starlet Virginia Rappe ruined his career. Following a party thrown by Arbuckle, Rappe fell ill and died. Allegations of rape were levied against Arbuckle, and three manslaughter trials were held, the first two ending in mistrials and the third in acquittal. Although cleared of any wrong-doing in a court of law, Arbuckle was vilified in the court of public opinion thanks to newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst. With the help of a few supportive friends, Arbuckle was able to find work as a director in Hollywood under a pseudonym, but his career as a leading man of comedy was finished. In 1933 he staged a brief comeback by appearing in a series of shorts for Paramount. But sadly, Fatty would never fully enjoy his rediscovered fame. The day after signing a feature length contract with Paramount, he died in his sleep at the age of 46. This exceedingly rare sheet from the heyday of Arbuckle's career had a tear that ran the length of the left border and image area, and small chips in the right and left borders and top left corner. Thanks to immaculate restoration, this sheet is now a delight to behold and serves as a fitting tribute to one of the most brilliant comedic personalities of a generation. Fine- on Linen.

College (United Artists, 1927). Lobby Card (11" X 14").

Doughboys (MGM, 1930). Window Card (14" X 22").
Wealthy, pampered Elmer (Buster Keaton) goes down to the local employment office to hire a new chauffeur, unaware that it's now an army recruitment office, and he mistakenly enlists! This was Keaton's second starring talkie, and reportedly one of his favorites. With charming, cartoonish artwork by Eaton, this is a splendid window card. Prior to restoration, there was a horizontal crease at the center. That is the only condition issue we can detect, making this a real prize for any Keaton collector. Very Fine- on Cardstock.

One of Laurel and Hardy's best-loved and best-remembered films, this Hal Roach fantasy classic is populated with Mother Goose characters, marching wooden soldiers, and a mouse that looks suspiciously like Mickey.

Babes in Toyland (MGM, 1934). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy starred in this imaginative classic from 1934 based on Victor Herbert's operetta. The Hal Roach production was a tad more Laurel and Hardy than Victor Herbert, but audiences didn't seem to mind. Perhaps the most notorious aspect of the film were the behind-the-scenes injuries that took place affecting many cast members, for which the two main stars weren't immune. But the hard work (and painful injuries) paid off, and the movie is now looked upon as an undeniable classic. This lobby card shows our heroes in a spot of trouble, though we're sure it's nothing they can't handle. Even without their trademark derbies, Laurel and Hardy look as lovable as ever. The card has a nick on the right border, a small corner chip on the bottom left, and a bottom right corner bend. The posters for this film are some of the hardest to find from the team's feature film career! Fine/Very Fine.

Of all the classic comedies to star Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, perhaps none is more beloved than this family holiday favorite, a glorious fairy tale come to life.

Babes in Toyland (MGM, 1934). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Based on Victor Herbert's classic operetta, this was a perfect vehicle for the comedy team of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, who play the bumbling apprentices of the master toymaker of Toyland. The boys are on a quest to raise enough money to pay off the mortgage on the oversized shoe the Widow Peep (Florence Roberts) calls home, before the pretty Little Bo Peep (Charlotte Henry) is forced to marry the horrendous Silas Barnaby (Henry Brandon) instead. This lovely lobby card, showing all the main characters, has some slight surface paper loss in the top border, a small stain in the bottom border, and a corner bump with paper lift in the bottom left corner. None of these small flaws detract overmuch from this exquisite beauty, making it a perfect addition to any collection. Fine+.

The Bohemian Girl (MGM, 1936). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
After scoring big with Babes in Toyland (1934), Hal Roach decided to cast Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy in another adaptation of a popular operetta, this time William Balfe's The Bohemian Girl. Stan and Ollie play a pair of wandering Gypsies who become the caretakers of a young girl kidnapped from the gypsy-hating Count Arnheim (William P. Carleton). The film was extensively reshot prior to release due to the untimely - and highly controversial - murder of Thelma Todd, who had been cast as the Gypsy Queen. This stunning lobby card has a staple hole in the top center, a pencil mark in the bottom border, but is, overall, very clean and attractive. A perfect addition to any collection. Very Fine-.

Horse Feathers (Paramount, 1932). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
The Marx Brothers starred in this comedy classic, considered by many fans to be one of their best. This colorful card features Harpo Marx in a rather animated pose, though the lady standing next to him clearly doesn't get his sense of humor the way we do. It should be noted that Harpo was one of only two Marx Brothers to play a recurring role in their movies, not counting their own names of course, as he appears as "Pinky" in both this film and Duck Soup. There is a single pinhole in the image area, scuffing across Harpo's face, and a light corner bend in the top left and bottom right. Fine/Very Fine.

Duck Soup (Paramount, 1933). Swedish One Sheet (27" X 39.5").
Purists will argue the finer points for decades to come, but for many fans, this sublime bit of Marxist mayhem is the finest film the fabulous Marx Brothers ever produced, with Groucho, Chico, Harpo, and Zeppo at the height of their comedic super-powers. This rarely seen Swedish one sheet has colorful graphics and striking artwork that must be seen to be believed. This unrestored poster has slight edge wear, tears in the right border, a fold separation at the top center, and creasing in the top right border. Very Fine.

A Night at the Opera (MGM, 1935). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
After five classic films at Paramount, the Marx Brothers moved over to MGM, where they were afforded bigger budgets and slicker production values. But the quality of the comedy remains constant, and most fans hail this as one of their masterpieces. This sublime title lobby card has iconic artwork of the three Marxes, and retains terrific color. Condition issues include three pinholes in the lower left image area, some staining in the top left corner, slight paper loss and light soiling in the bottom left corner, and some dust shadowing in the lower right border.

A Day at the Races (MGM, 1937). Pre-War Belgian (24" X 33.25").
After a string of hits at Paramount, the Marx Brothers (Groucho, Harpo, and Chico) left that studio during a contract dispute, and were quickly lured to MGM by producer/wunderkind Irving Thalberg, whom they greatly admired and respected. There, they made A Night at the Opera (1935) and this film. Unfortunately, during the production of this picture, Thalberg died unexpectedly, and the Brothers, now bereft of Thalberg's support, made one picture for RKO and three more for MGM, but this one is considered by many to be the last great Marx Brothers film. Offered here is a beautiful, pre-War Belgian poster in superb condition. Only our strict policy of not awarding a grade higher than Very Fine+ to a poster mounted on linen keeps us from giving this beauty an even higher grade. Very Fine+ on Linen.

When Ted Crosley (Charles Starrett) tires of life in Hollywood, he decides to enroll incognito in college.

The Stooges themselves are the subjects of this outstanding lobby card, by far the best of the set, as the boys in bow ties are romanced by Brenda and Cobina, a pair of not-so-lovely ladies. Condition issues on this card are minor, and include pinholes in the corners, a bend in the top left corner, some light border smudging, and a tiny tear at bottom left. Very Fine-.

Trouble in Paradise (Paramount, 1932). Pre-War Belgian (24.5" X 33").
German director Ernst Lubitsch arrived in Hollywood in the 1920s, already an internationally respected director of comedy and drama. His reputation grew immensely at Paramount, and during the 1930s, he created some of his most memorable romantic comedies, including this Miriam Hopkins, Herbert Marshall, and Kay Francis gem. Marshall and Hopkins play sophisticated jewel thieves who team up to con a perfume heiress (Francis). Full of witty dialogue and clever innuendos, this delightful comedy is a real treasure. Prior to professional restoration, the poster had minor chips at the right edge, fold wear, and 1.5" of the top border was missing, but these issues are no longer apparent. Posters from this film are exceedingly rare and this stunning stone litho portrait of Marshall and Francis is only the third item we have ever offered from this film. Fine+ on Linen.

The Cat and the Canary (Paramount, 1939). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
This screen adaptation was the second filmed version of the hit Broadway play. Bob Hope plays the cowardly protector of Paulette Goddard, who, after the reading of her late, eccentric, millionaire uncle's will is informed that she must spend one night in his eerie mansion in order to inherit his entire fortune. Now she must survive the schemes of all the other heirs who are desperately trying to drive her insane! Easily the best card of the set, this features a great two-shot of Hope and Goddard. Some minor stains in the lower left corner and very light corner bumps are the only condition issues of note. Near Mint.

My Little Chickadee (Universal, 1940). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style C.
When lovely Flowerbelle Lee (Mae West) is abducted by a masked bandit, the resulting scandal forces her to leave town. On the journey, she meets charming con-man Cuthbert J. Twillie (W. C. Fields). Believing that Twillie is a wealthy man, Lee marries him, but soon discovers that his "bankroll" is nothing but a wad of phony oil coupons. When Twillie is named sheriff of Greasewood City, things become even more complicated. This was the one and only feature film to team these two comic geniuses; although they famously disliked each other, their on-screen chemistry is electrifying. Offered here is a lovely one sheet for this classic film. It had pinholes in the corners, fold wear with crossfold separation, and a tear in the bottom left that extended into the title. Additionally, the borders had been trimmed approximately .5" on each side. After expert professional restoration, however, these flaws have been rendered virtually invisible. Returned to a like-new appearance, this poster now looks like a million bucks. Very Good on Linen.

Rings on Her Fingers (20th Century Fox, 1942). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
Warren (Laird Cregar) and Maybelle (Spring Byington) are on the prowl for a mark, and think they've found one in the person of John Wheeler (Henry Fonda), who they take to be a wealthy man. In order to con him out of his money, they enlist the aid of pretty Susan Miller (Gene Tierney), a young sales girl with big dreams, instructing her to pretend to fall in love with Wheeler as part of their scheme. Not surprisingly, she really does fall for the mark, quickly finding out he's no wealthier than she is. But that doesn't dissuade the two con artists from proceeding with their plans. The beautiful stone litho poster offered here shows pinholes in the corners, crossfold and fold separation, edge wear, smudging in the image area, and a tear in the top left, but is still an extremely attractive and desirable piece. You'll want to display this one proudly. From the Todd Feiertag Collection. Fine-.

The Apartment (United Artists, 1960). Autographed Lobby Card (11" X 14").
In an attempt to climb the corporate ladder, Bud Baxter (Jack Lemmon) hits on a scheme to make his apartment available to company executives as a place to take their mistresses. Of course, Baxter soon becomes embroiled in complications from this sordid scheme. The film won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director (Billy Wilder). Offered here is a beautiful lobby card signed by Wilder and two of the stars, Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine. It has also been signed by co-star Jack Kruschen, seen on the card as "Dr. Dreyfuss." This highly desirable piece is from the collection of Artie Kern, who was the A/V man to Oscar winning songwriter Sammy Cahn for many years. Kern was also Memorabilia Consultant to the Songwriters Hall of Fame Museum in New York City, and many of his items were on display there from 1980-1985, when the museum closed its doors. Sammy Cahn helped Mr. Kern obtain the autographs, as he was president of the hall for over 17 years and almost all of the signatures came from his personal friends. A wonderful piece, which is boldly signed by the four personalities, it has small pin or puncture marks in three places in the outer edges of the image, and there are several very small pinholes in the upper border. This will be a great addition to any collection. Fine+.

Reap the Wild Wind (Paramount, 1942). Insert (14" X 36").
Cecil B. DeMille directed this seafaring epic starring Ray Milland, John Wayne, and Paulette Goddard. The film takes place during the 1840s in the Florida Keys, with Goddard playing a feisty Southern belle. DeMille originally wanted Errol Flynn to play Captain Jack Stuart, but producer Jack Warner refused to loan him out, so the part went to Wayne in the end. Robert Preston and Susan Hayward co-star in this exciting romance, which features an underwater climax involving a giant squid - it doesn't get much more exciting than this, folks! Issues of note include a chip and a tear in the top right corner, smudging on the borders, a small hole and a corner bend in the top left, cloth tape on the reverse, and small tears in the borders. Despite these defects, this poster retains its impressive style, and is still stunning to look at. Rolled, Very Good/Fine.

The Mark of Zorro (20th Century Fox, 1940). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
First appearing in a 1919 edition of All-Story Weekly, Johnston McCulley's mysterious avenger, Zorro, graced the silver screen several times before the dashing Tyrone Power donned the black mask of justice. Opposite Power was quintessential villain Basil Rathbone as Captain Esteban Pasquale, Zorro's nemesis. Offered here is an exceptionally dramatic half sheet, with a wonderful image of Power. It had fold wear with slight paper loss on the horizontal fold, edge wear, a tear in the top left that goes into the image area, tearing in the borders, a piece missing in the left border, and a missing top left corner, but expert professional restoration has returned this highly desirable poster to a like-new appearance. You know you want this one! Very Good/Fine on Paper.

The Adventures of Robin Hood (Warner Brothers, 1938). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Warner Brothers was under quite a lot of pressure from the Breen office, who were apoplectic over the studio's popular gangster films. In order to assuage the censors, Warner Brothers gave the green light to this, a harmless historical epic, one that they felt sure would pass muster easily. The result was one of the greatest action epics ever filmed, with a great cast, a terrific story, and the advantage of glorious three-strip Technicolor. Starring Errol Flynn as Robin Hood, Olivia de Havilland as Maid Marion, Basil Rathbone as Sir Guy of Gisbourne, and Claude Rains as the avaricious Prince John, the movie succeeds on every level, and is just as rollicking a ride today as it was more than seventy years ago. The exceptional, original linen-finish lobby card offered here shows pinholes in the corners, one pinhole in the image area, a small tear in the left border, a corner bend in the bottom right, a light crease in the left border, and corner bumps, but these slight flaws fade to insignificance in light of the overwhelming eye-appeal of this classic beauty. This is a treasure worthy of your greatest consideration. Fine/Very Fine.

The Adventures of Robin Hood (Warner Brothers, 1938). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
One of the greatest adventure films ever made, this is the picture that forever solidified star Errol Flynn's persona as the leading swashbuckler of the Golden Age of Hollywood. As the leader of the Sherwood Forest rebels, Robin Hood (Flynn) battles corruption and avarice in the person of Sir Guy of Gisbourne (Basil Rathbone) and Prince John (Claude Rains), usurper of the British throne, at the same time wooing the lovely Maid Marion (Olivia de Havilland). The score, by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, is a true classic. Offered here is a spectacular linen-finish lobby card, spotlighting the climactic battle between Robin and Sir Guy. It has a crease in the top left corner, corner bumps, a diagonal cut in the image area, and small tears in the borders, all of which are reinforced on the reverse with museum tape.

The Adventures of Robin Hood (Warner Brothers, 1938). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
This lavish production, shot entirely in Technicolor, is a remake of the silent picture that starred Douglas Fairbanks Sr. This time around, Errol Flynn dons the mantle of the legendary outlaw, who robs from the rich and gives to the poor during the reign of King Richard I. Rounding out the cast are such exceptional players as Olivia de Havilland, Claude Rains, and Basil Rathbone. This dramatic linen finished card, picturing the final battle between Robin and the forces of Sir Guy of Gisbourne (Rathbone) had pinholes in the image area, and tears in the borders.

Isle of Escape (Warner Brothers, 1930). Autographed One Sheet (27" X 41").
Noah Beery Sr., Monte Blue, and Betty Compson star as American explorers in the South Seas who are also involved in a love triangle. The adventure begins when Compson is captured by angry natives and must be rescued by the men. Further complications arise from an exotic woman, played by the ethereal Myrna Loy, who seduces Blue. Although Loy had proven herself a talented actress in the five years she had been in Hollywood, she had not yet reached stardom at this time, and was cast mainly in "exotic" or "oriental" roles. A stunning stone litho portrait of stars Loy and Blue, this rare item is in extremely nice condition, with only light fold wear, which is unnoticeable after professional restoration. It is signed "With all good wishes, Myrna Loy." Very Fine+ on Linen.

Spies (MGM-UFA, 1928). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Immediately following his landmark science fiction epic Metropolis (1927), genius director Fritz Lang crafted this smaller film. Based on an original story by Lang's wife, Thea von Harbou (who had also penned Metropolis), this action/espionage film tells the story of a criminal mastermind named Haghi (Rudolf Klein-Rogge, who portrayed Rotwang, the insane inventor in Metropolis) spearheading a Russian spy ring centered in London. British Agent 326 (Willy Fritsch, a Lang-film regular) rushes to break up the operation, using a variety of hi-tech gadgets, such as disappearing ink, bulletproof wallets, and concealed microphones. If you think this sounds like an early James Bond, you're right; Spies is considered the granddaddy of all espionage thrillers to come. This dramatic title card shows pinholes in the corners, foxing, a light pencil mark in the bottom right, and creasing in the bottom left corner. These slight flaws do nothing to detract from the overwhelming beauty of this unrestored and rare card, though, which will certainly be the centerpiece of any collection. Fine+.

Spies (MGM-UFA, 1928). Signed One Sheet (27" X 41").
One of the architects of the cinematic style known as German Expressionism, Fritz Lang was also one of Europe's most important and innovative directors during the silent era. His impressive early filmography includes such classics as The Spiders (1919 & 1920), two chapters of an unfinished serial about a quest for a priceless diamond: Dr. Mabuse the Gambler (1922), the first appearance of Lang's nefarious crimelord, and an ambitious two-part adaptation of Richard Wagner's Die Niebelungen (1924). Of course, the film for which he is most remembered is the landmark science fiction epic, Metropolis (1927), a film that revolutionized the silent cinema. Due to the massive budget on Metropolis - a budget that had brought UFA Studios to the brink of bankruptcy - Lang was forced to scale back his next production, an espionage thriller titled Spies (1928), a film that would influence virtually all espionage thrillers to come, including the ultra-popular James Bond franchise. The story, by Lang's wife Thea von Harbou, concerns a Russian spy ring operating in London, run by the criminal mastermind Haghi (Rudolf Klein-Rogge, who played Rotwang the Inventor in Metropolis). Opposing Haghi is British agent 326 (Willy Fritsch), who eventually enlists the aid of Sonya (Gerda Maurus, who would become Lang's lover and would star in his next feature in 1929, Woman in the Moon), a Russian agent who defects to the side of the good guys. The climax takes place in a circus, where Haghi, disguised as Nemo the Clown, obtains his just reward. A fast-paced and exciting film, paper for this film is almost non-existent, with this being the only known copy of this particular style stone litho one sheet (a rotogravure style was sold several years ago by Heritage). It came from the estate of the artist who created it - Glen Cravath - and is in superb condition given its age. The poster had light border wear, minor chipping in the upper horizontal fold, and a small hole in the eyeball at the top, but expert restoration has rendered these defects nearly invisible, giving this remarkable poster an exquisite appearance. This is a piece of film history that may not become available again for quite some time, as we're confident that this will be held for many years in an advanced private collection. Bid today to win this unique treasure. Fine+ on Linen.

Tarzan of the Apes (First National, 1918). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Plenty of movie characters have come to the screen from other media, including comic books, radio, and the pulps, but perhaps none have been as successful as the brainchild of Edgar Rice Burroughs: Tarzan of the Apes. Tarzan first appeared in the pages of the October 1912 issue of The All-Story magazine; an instant success, the public wanted more, and Burroughs immediately released several sequels. Of course it didn't take long for Hollywood to come calling, and in 1918, moviegoing audiences were first treated to the incredible movie represented here, featuring Elmo Lincoln as the legendary Lord of the Jungle. An impressive, muscular figure, Lincoln had appeared in several of D. W. Griffith's most important films, and took to his role as Tarzan with incredible gusto. Needless to say, the film was an enormous success, and paved the way for countless sequels to follow. Names like Johnny Weissmuller, Buster Crabbe, Herman Brix may be more familiar as Tarzan to contemporary viewers, but Lincoln inaugurated the role; every Tarzan to come after him owes this exceptional actor a vote of thanks. Offered here is a beautiful, and extremely rare, stone litho one sheet for this landmark film. It is, in fact, the only one of its type known to exist, with the other one sheets known picturing Gordon Griffith in the role of Tarzan as a boy. Prior to expert professional restoration, it had fold wear with minor chips in the center horizontal fold, pinholes in the corners, slight paper loss in the borders, and some tears in the borders and image area. The restoration performed is top-notch, and has returned this glorious poster to a like-new appearance. Never before seen, that we are aware of, this rare, probably unique, poster is a major find for the Tarzan collector! Very Good/Fine on Linen.
Plenty of movie characters have come to the screen from other media, including comic books, radio, and the pulps, but perhaps none have been as successful as the brainchild of Edgar Rice Burroughs: Tarzan of the Apes. Tarzan first appeared in the pages of the October 1912 issue of The All-Story magazine; an instant success, the public wanted more, and Burroughs immediately released several sequels. Of course it didn't take long for Hollywood to come calling, and in 1918, moviegoing audiences were first treated to the incredible movie represented here, featuring Elmo Lincoln as the legendary Lord of the Jungle. An impressive, muscular figure, Lincoln had appeared in several of D. W. Griffith's most important films, and took to his role as Tarzan with incredible gusto. Needless to say, the film was an enormous success, and paved the way for countless sequels to follow. Names like Johnny Weissmuller, Buster Crabbe, Herman Brix may be more familiar as Tarzan to contemporary viewers, but Lincoln inaugurated the role; every Tarzan to come after him owes this exceptional actor a vote of thanks. Offered here is a beautiful, and extremely rare, stone litho one sheet for this landmark film. It is, in fact, the only one of its type known to exist, with the other one sheets known picturing Gordon Griffith in the role of Tarzan as a boy. Prior to expert professional restoration, it had fold wear with minor chips in the center horizontal fold, pinholes in the corners, slight paper loss in the borders, and some tears in the borders and image area. The restoration performed is top-notch, and has returned this glorious poster to a like-new appearance. Never before seen, that we are aware of, this rare, probably unique, poster is a major find for the Tarzan collector! Very Good/Fine on Linen.
Tarzan and His Mate (MGM, 1934). Insert (14" X 36").
The second of the Tarzan films to star Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan, this is considered by many to be the best of the series. Neil Hamilton is back as well, this time partnering with a vicious ivory hunter, played by Paul Cavanaugh, who both get devoured by lions. This hit features the famous scene with Jane swimming nude, and is directed by Cedric Gibbons. Renowned for his award winning art direction, this is his only directorial credit. The gorgeous poster had a minor chip and tear in the top left corner, fold wear, a tear at the right edge, and a minor corner chip at the lower right. The restoration work was expertly done, with the image area, and its strong original color, virtually untouched. Do not miss out on this very special poster. Fine/Very Fine on Paper.

Tarzan Escapes (MGM, 1936). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan get familial in this third installment in the ape-man series. Many gruesome scenes were filmed under the first director, James C. McKay, who was later replaced by John Farrow who re-shot virtually the entire film to make it more family-friendly; even so, it still has a rather nasty finale. This excellent lobby card has a fine image of Tarzan and Jane, with Weissmuller giving his trademark bellow. Condition issues include multiple pinholes in the corners and borders, scuffing in the image area, smudging in the borders, and a small ink mark in the top border. The card still presents well, with good color and clarity. Fine+.

Based on the popular comic strip, this 12-part Columbia serial stars Warren Hull as the mystical Mandrake who matches wits with a sinister villain known only as The Wasp.

Terry and the Pirates (Columbia, 1940). Stock One Sheet (27" X 41").
Milton Caniff created this popular and long-running adventure comic strip in 1934, becoming one of the few "celebrity cartoonists" virtually overnight. Initially, the strip told the story of young Terry Lee who gets involved in a series of adventures with his adult sidekick Pat Ryan. As time went on, however, and Terry got older, Pat began to fade into the background, largely replaced by a string of beautiful women - including April Kane, Burma, and the Dragon Lady - who Caniff brought to life in stunning detail. In 1940, Columbia brought Terry to life on the silver screen, with William Tracy in the title role, as he traveled to the jungles of Africa, accompanied by Pat, to rescue his father, who had been lost while trying to unearth the remains of a lost civilization. Offered here is a stunning stock sheet for this fan-favorite serial. In superb condition, only some slight crossfold separation keeps this beauty from an even higher grade. Near Mint.

Deadwood Dick (Columbia, 1940). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Deadwood Dick was a fictional Western hero created by Edward L. Wheeler and made popular in a series of dime novel adventures published in the late nineteenth century.

Superman (Columbia, 1948). One Sheet (27" X 41") Chapter 10 -- "Between Two Fires."
Although Superman, that strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men, was a star of comic books, newspaper strips, and animated cartoons by 1948, this was the first time that he had made the leap to live action on the silver screen. Brought to life by the energetic and charismatic Kirk Alyn, this serial was one of Columbia's biggest successes, and spawned not only the inevitable sequel, but the popular TV series as well. The one sheet offered here is particularly desirable as it features both Superman (Alyn) and Lois Lane (the lovely Noel Neill) in the inset. Prior to expert professional restoration, it had a small tear in the left border, fold wear, and crossfold separations, but these slight flaws have now been rendered virtually invisible. This will be a super addition to some lucky bidder's collection! Very Fine+ on Linen.

Flash Gordon's Trip to Mars (Universal, 1938). Stock One Sheet (27" X 41").

The Birth of a Nation (Epoch Producing Corp., R-1921). One Sheet (28" X 41").
D. W. Griffith's epic tale of the struggles of the South during the Civil War, and the later Reconstruction period, is considered a landmark of cinema history. It was the earliest full-length feature; prior films had a length of less than one hour. Originally released as The Clansman, it was and still is considered quite controversial, with its benevolent treatment of the Ku Klux Klan, racist attitudes towards African-Americans, and the depiction of slavery as a benign necessity. Despite becoming an overnight blockbuster, many audience members protested the film, and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), which was newly formed, staged ultimately unsuccessful demonstrations to have the film banned from theaters. The racist mind-set of the director and film unfortunately reflected the prevailing White attitudes of the day, but Griffith was not deaf to the protests, and, partly as a response to criticism, soon began work on his next high-budget epic: Intolerance. Starring Lillian Gish, Mae Marsh, Henry B. Walthall, and Miriam Cooper, the story of The Birth of a Nation revolves around two families: the Northern Stonemans and the Confederate Camerons, and their battle for survival during the War. Once Reconstruction begins, their struggles are with the former slaves, who are depicted as crazed, aggressive, and out to corrupt elections, paving the way for "justified" retaliation by the KKK. Although the film's original release was in 1915, it was in continuous release for many years. Offered here, for the first time, is the sensational stone litho one sheet from 1921. It has received expert restoration to address pinholes in the corners of the field and very minor chips and tears in the borders, with one that extended slightly into the bottom field. With beautiful archival restoration, it now displays magnificently. Despite the controversy of the film, this is an extremely rare item from an important historical film, reflecting the struggles for freedom and equality that this nation endured. Very Fine- on Linen.

The Quitter (Metro, 1916). One Sheet (27" X 41").
As early as this film is, it's important to note that star Lionel Barrymore - perhaps best known as the irascible Mr. Potter from It's a Wonderful Life (1946) had nearly 100 pictures under his belt by the time he made this wacky comedy for director Charles Horan. As "Happy Jack" Lewis, Barrymore advertises for a bride, but gets cold feet before the selected woman arrives, leading to a succession of comic misadventures. The flat-folded poster offered here is in exceptional condition, particularly considering its age. We note a light smudge in the bottom right, extra fold lines, light edge wear in the top border, and a single pinhole in the left border. These are extremely minor considerations, none of which detract from the high degree of eye-appeal possessed by this beauty. Very Fine+.

War Brides (Selznick, 1916). Vertical Half Sheet (22" X 28").

But it took the efforts of Lewis Selznick to get the actress to commit to this adaptation of the one-act play by Marion Craig Wentworth.

Through the Back Door (United Artists, 1921). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
In turn-of-the-century Belgium, a young widow (Gertrude Astor) remarries to a wealthy American, and is forced to leave her young daughter Jeanne (Mary Pickford) behind with the child's nurse (Helen Raymond). The mother returns several years later but the nurse, not wanting to give up custody, tells her Jeanne is dead. However, when Belgium is invaded in 1914, the nurse fears for the child's safety and sends the now-teenaged girl to America to reunite with her mother. A well-mounted production, one of only two films to be co-directed by her brother Jack, this features many of the elements that Pickford often used in her films. The faintest of corner bumps -- only evident on close examination -- are the only slight issue with this immaculate card. Near Mint.

Golden Age (1938-1955)
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). To that end, she stars in this now-lost picture as Vere Herbert, a sweet young thing who marries a wastrel Prince to save her father's honor. The film was released the same week that America entered World War I. Offered here is a wonderful half sheet featuring Bara in her "good girl" persona, which shows one pinhole in the top right, light edge wear, and a tear and a small corner bend in the bottom right. Never folded, it is a great piece from a sadly lost film. Rolled, Very Fine.

The Wife of the Pharaoh (EFA, 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 for all things Egyptian, with the recent discoveries of the tombs of the ancient Pharaohs. It was the worldwide 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 in this film 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.

My Boy (First National, 1921). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
One of America's favorite child stars during the early days of motion pictures, Jackie Coogan got his start in show business on the vaudeville stage, performing with his parents. He was spotted by Charlie Chaplin, who planned a movie with the adorable moppet, a movie eventually released as The Kid (1921), one of the most popular pictures in Chaplin's filmography. By 1923, he was one of the highest paid stars in Hollywood, and he would continue headlining throughout the 1920s. An early advocate for the rights of child actors, Coogan found new fame on television in the 1960s; he is perhaps best remembered today as Uncle Fester in the original Addams Family (1964-66). The lovely half sheet offered here, with multiple images of Coogan, shows some edge wear and light foxing, and a small tear in the bottom border, but is otherwise pristine.

Conrad Veidt stars as Prince Ayan in this, one of two films set in India directed by Joe May; the original German title is The Indian Tomb. It was written by the husband and wife team of Fritz Lang and Thea von Harbou, five years before their classic collaboration, Metropolis. This attractive stone litho poster pictures Veidt and Mia May, wife of the director. It had fold wear, a small chip in the bottom fold, a top left corner chip, and a small piece out of the left border, but these slight flaws have been rendered virtually invisible with expert professional restoration.

Montmartre (Paramount, 1924). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Polish-born actress Pola Negri made seven very successful films in Germany for director Ernst Lubitsch before both star and director moved to Hollywood in 1922, where they had only one more collaboration, Forbidden Paradise. Their last film in Germany was Die Flamme, which was released in the U.S. in 1924 and re-titled Montmartre. Negri plays a Parisian prostitute named Yvette, who attempts to leave her sordid past behind her when she falls for orchestra conductor Adolphe (Hermann Thimig). Sadly, it is considered a "lost" film, as only a few pieces of the original movie still exist. This restored lobby card had two small missing corners, a tear at the bottom edge, and pinholes. It has been professionally restored and now this extremely rare and important card displays excellently. Fine+.

Girl from Montmartre (First National, 1926). One Sheet (27" X 41").
The tragic Barbara LaMarr made her final film appearance in The Girl From Montmartre. LaMarr is a Parisian cabaret dancer who is pursued by an aristocratic British military officer (Lewis Stone), who sees her act while on furlough during World War I. He tracks her down after the war, and the two fall in love. Girl From Montmartre was intended purely as a Barbara LaMarr vehicle, but the actress's death from drug addiction during production necessitated a hasty rewrite, shifting the story emphasis to her co-star Lewis Stone. This gorgeous stone litho highlights LaMarr's haunting beauty. Prior to restoration, this poster had fold wear with minor paper loss on one fold, small corner chips, border tears, and tearing in the center horizontal fold. The expert restoration has rendered these flaws nearly invisible, giving this beautiful one sheet a splendid appearance. Very Good/Fine on Linen.

Orphans of the Storm (United Artists, 1921). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
In what many consider to be his greatest motion picture accomplishment, D. W. Griffith skillfully combines melodrama and historical political intrigue to create one of the most spectacular and poignant films of the silent era. Real-life sisters Lillian and Dorothy Gish play the two orphans of the title, bringing pathos and a sense of realism to a moving (albeit far-fetched) story of two innocents who get caught up in the turbulent events of the French Revolution. This gorgeous portrait card of the two sisters, the best card in the set, is in superb condition. This lovely glossy finish lobby card has just one pinhole in each of the four corners and another in the center of the top border. Very Fine.

Orphans of the Storm (United Artists, 1921). Lobby Cards (3) (11" X 14").
After the huge box office success of the melodrama Way Down East (also starring Lillian Gish), director D. W. Griffith set out to repeat the formula with the barnstorming theatrical piece The Two Orphans, a tale of class warfare during the French Revolution. The three lobby cards contained in this lot depict the large scale spectacle of Griffith's classic film. All of the cards have a few pinholes within the borders, light corner creases, and their original glossy finish. One card has a thumb tack stain in the top left corner. The image area of all three is bright and in extremely nice condition, which is a rare treat to see in such early cards. Very Fine-.

Orphans of the Storm (United Artists, 1921). Lobby Cards (3) (11" X 14").
Lobby cards from this D. W. Griffith classic film have always been rare. Griffith's French Revolution epic stars Lillian and Dorothy Gish, and is one of the last of over twenty pictures the sisters made together. These hand-tinted cards are gorgeous and must be seen to be appreciated. All three are in amazingly nice condition, with their original glossy finish, and depict three lavish scenes from the film. Two of the cards have pinholes in all four corners as well as a few within the borders. The "street" scene has only three pinholes in the borders, and all three cards have light corner creases.

Orphans of the Storm (United Artists, 1921). Window Card (13.5" X 22").
D. W. Griffith's tale of two sisters (Dorothy and Lillian Gish) caught up in the French Revolution was a thinly disguised commentary on the recent Russian Revolution, with Griffith warning of the dangers of Bolshevism. Ironically, Soviet filmmakers such as Eisenstein and Pudovkin were being inspired by many of Griffith's techniques and using them in their own films. This window card had very light edge wear and corner bumps. Very Fine+ on Cardstock.

The Singing Fool (Warner Brothers, 1927). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Perhaps even more than The Jazz Singer (1927), this was the film that introduced talking pictures to the general public and paved the way for the acceptance of sound. A massive hit, this picture -about a singing waiter (Al Jolson) who becomes a Broadway star - grossed more than $4 million, making it the most successful picture in Warner Brothers' history to that time. Jolson introduced the song "Sonny Boy" in this picture, a tune that would become one of his trademarks. This exceptional lobby card is in superb condition, with no defects to note. For fans of Jolson, it doesn't get any better than this! Near Mint+.

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.

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 its design based on the U.S. one sheet, has had some minor airbrushing in the borders and to a couple of spots in the white background. Very Fine+ on Linen.

Dames (Warner Brothers, 1934). One Sheet (27" X 41").
The great Busby Berkeley directs and choreographs this cinematic jewel, which once again features the dynamic musical team of Harry Warren and Al Dubin. Their classic tunes include "I Only Have Eyes for You," "The Girl at the Ironing Board," and the title song. With Ruby Keeler, Dick Powell, and Joan Blondell (all co-stars from Berkeley's earlier productions of 42nd Street, Gold Diggers of 1933, and Footlight Parade), the magic keeps on coming and the dance numbers are over-the-top fantasy spectacles. The supporting cast of Zasu Pitts, Guy Kibbee, and Hugh Herbert provide the comedic elements. This bright one sheet had two small chips at the left edge, a small hole with tears in the bottom border, and a minor hole with a tear in the right border. There is a tear that extends from the credits to the bottom edge. Paper from this iconic film is always scarce and popular, so this lovely, star-studded one sheet is sure to please. Fine+ on Linen.

Sweet Music (Warner Brothers, 1935). Six Sheet (81" X 81").
Rudy Vallee stars in this feel-good musical comedy (with more comedy than music), his third as a leading man. Vallee is appropriately cast as singer/bandleader Skip Houston, who falls hard for aspiring dancer Bonnie Haydon (adorable Ann Dvorak). Bonnie feels the same about Skip, but they nonetheless indulge in a movie-long quarrel before the inevitable final clinch. Condition issues on this colorful poster include fold wear with crossfold separations, a tear in the bottom border, holes in the image area, and soiling in the borders. Very Good on Kraft Paper.

Cover Girl (Columbia, 1944). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Normally, when writing these descriptions, we talk about the movie represented by the piece offered. But, when faced with the utter beauty of Ms. Rita Hayworth in her best pin-up pose, who cares what the movie is about? The card itself tells us that this is, "Lovely Rita Hayworth at her entrancing best," and who are we to argue? At the time she made this film, Hayworth was still primarily seen as a singing and dancing star. It wouldn't be long, however, before her talent for portraying femme fatales would become obvious in such classics as Gilda (1946), The Lady from Shanghai (1947), and Salome (1953). Making this card even more desirable is its condition; it is absolutely dead mint. What are you waiting for? Get your bid in now! Mint.

The right border also has a tear that has been supported by tape on the reverse. There are chips in the lower left border and bottom left corner. Despite these flaws, this remains a great piece from movie and baseball fans alike. Folded, Fine/Very Fine.

The Hustler (20th Century Fox, 1961). Autographed Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Paul Newman stars as "Fast" Eddie Felson, a small-time pool hustler with a lot of talent, but a penchant for self-destruction. He takes on the legendary Minnesota Fats (Jackie Gleason) but loses, and soon hits rock bottom. This taut drama was nominated for ten Oscars (and won two), and gave Newman one of his best roles. This beautiful unrestored card has slight rounding to the corners and some dust shadows on the borders. It is signed "Paul Newman" in the bottom border. From the collection of Artie Kern, A/V man to Oscar winning songwriter Sammy Cahn for many years, who was also personal lyricist to Frank Sinatra for almost fifty years. Kern was also Memorabilia Consultant to the Songwriters Hall of Fame Museum in New York City and many of his items were on display there from 1980-1985, until its closing. Sammy Cahn helped Mr. Kern obtain the autographs as he was president of the hall for over 17 years and almost all of the signatures were from his personal friends. Fine/Very Fine.

The Hustler (20th Century Fox, 1961). Lobby Card Set of 8 (11" X 14").
"Fast" Eddie Felson (Paul Newman) has a dream: to shoot pool against the reigning champion, Minnesota Fats (Jackie Gleason), and win. He gets his wish, but his arrogance soon leads him down a dark road with tragic consequences. One of the greatest pool movies ever made, Newman and Gleason both performed their own shots, with the exception of one ultra-difficult massé shot that was performed by the legendary Willie Mosconi. Offered here is a highly desirable set of lobby cards from this film. Two cards display dust shadows and foxing, five cards have pinholes in the corners and a small tear in the left border, three cards show some light foxing in the right border only, and one card shows some smudging in the title area. It should be noted that the two pool cards, both picturing Newman and Gleason - the best cards in the set - are in superb condition. Chalk up your cue and bid on this super-cool set. Fine+.

Widely considered to be the best billiards movie ever made, this is the story of "Fast Eddie" Felson (Paul Newman), a little man with big dreams who gets a chance at the big time when he plays the current champion, Minnesota Fats (Jackie Gleason). Offered here is the 1964 re-release one sheet, which many aficionados consider preferable to the original release in terms of graphic excellence.

Lawrence of Arabia (Columbia, 1962). French Ten Panel (230" X 126").
Winner of seven Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director, David Lean's unforgettable war film made a star of Peter O'Toole and virtually defined the word "epic." Based on T. E. Lawrence's own self-published memoir The Seven Pillars of Wisdom, it tells the story of one man's journey into the desert, where he sides with the Arabs in their rebellion against the Turks. This magnificent French ten-panel billboard is by far the largest poster image ever created for this title, and features the iconic image of Lawrence's face enigmatically draped in shadow. Edge wear, minor fold splitting on one panel, soiling on the edges of two panels, and some edge chipping and wear on the outer panel constitute the minor condition issues of this magnificent poster. Fine/Very Fine.

My Four Years in Germany (First National, 1918). One Sheet (27" X 41").
My Four Years in Germany marks the first time Jack and Sam Warner made a serious attempt at releasing a feature film. As such, it is considered the very first Warner Brothers film. Ostensibly, it concerned U.S. Ambassador to Germany James W. Gerard's account of his dealings with Kaiser Wilhelm II prior to World War I, but it quickly turned into a rousing propaganda film filled with scenes of outrageous German brutality and atrocity. Shot in New York, it was a major hit with the American public and led the Warner's to build a studio of their own in Hollywood. This unrestored poster has pinholes in the image area, edge wear on the left and right borders, tears in the center and top and bottom borders, a small piece of paper tape on the back, and a small chip on the top left corner. Fine/Very Fine.

Wings (Paramount, 1927). Window Card (14" X 18.25").
Twenty-eight year old director William Wellman, himself a wartime aviator, made this film about two World War I aviators (Buddy Rogers and Richard Arlen) who are in love with the same Red Cross nurse (Clara Bow). A young Gary Cooper also appeared in a small but crucial role as a veteran aviator. Wings was the first feature film to win an Academy Award. The imprint area of this card has been trimmed off and there are pinholes in the borders and corners. Also, there is a bit of writing in the bottom right corner. But the fabulous image of Bow more than makes up for these faults. Fine.

Sky Devils (United Artists, 1932). One Sheet (27" X 41").
When Wilkie and Mitchell (Spencer Tracy and George Cooper) lose their cushy lifeguarding jobs due to their inability to swim, they wind up in the Army just as World War I breaks out. Sergeant Hogan (William "Stage" Boyd) tries to keep the bumbling buddies in line, but when they go AWOL and end up in a plane over enemy lines, the fun really begins!

The Dawn Patrol (Warner Brothers, 1938). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbone appeared together for the third time in this exciting film, set amidst the carnage of World War I. Flynn plays Captain Courtney, a brash young flyer who criticizes his commander (Rathbone) for sending flyers on suicide missions. The tables are turned, however, when Courtney is promoted to squadron commander, and is forced to make the same impossible decisions. This great linen finish card features a great image of Flynn at the controls of his Nieuport; it has stapleholes in the borders, a single pinhole in the image area, tape on the reverse, and bumps in the top corner, but these slight flaws do nothing to detract from the overwhelming eye appeal of this great card.

All-Star Bond Rally (War Activities Committee, 1945). Poster (40" X 60").
During World War II, Hollywood worked overtime creating propaganda films designed to boost morale and unite the country. Released just as the war was ending, this was one of the most extravagant. Hosted by Bob Hope, it starred an impressive array of screen talent, including Betty Grable, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Carmen Miranda, Linda Darnell, Harpo Marx, Fibber McGee and Molly, Harry James and His Orchestra, Jeanne Crain, and many more. Designed to sell bonds to the public, this flag-waving film was shown in theaters prior to the regular feature. Posters for this patriotic short are almost non-existent, and we here at Heritage are happy to offer this beautiful example. Prior to restoration, this poster had fold wear, a small stain and a few small holes on the bottom, and two small holes in the top image area. The excellent restoration has rendered these minor flaws nearly invisible. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Menace of the Rising Sun (Universal, 1942). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Wartime propaganda doesn't get much more graphic than this! After the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, America went to war against Japan not only on the battlefield, but in the arena of popular culture as well. From comic books to popular novels to studio films, the Japanese were portrayed as buck-toothed, subhuman fiends, a characterization that reaches its zenith on this striking title card. In superb unrestored condition, it shows some pinholes in the image area, a replaced top right corner, and corner bumps, but is otherwise extremely attractive and displayable. A very rare piece, you'll want to bid on this one today. Fine+.

Desperate Journey (Warner Brothers, 1950). Post-War Italian 2 - Folio (39" X 55").
Errol Flynn and Ronald Reagan play flyers who crash behind enemy lines in Poland at the height of the war, and are pursued by evil SS officer Raymond Massey. They eventually steal a German bomber and head back to ol' Blighty. This post-War release didn't hit Italy until 1950, but this poster, with sublime artwork by Luigi Martinati, was worth the wait. Fold wear with small paper loss, and small edge chips in two of the borders were the only condition issues, and these have been addressed with professional restoration. This fabulous poster has a gorgeous, colorful image that is superior to the American paper; a worthy addition to any Ronald Reagan collection. Fine+ on Linen.

Twelve O'Clock High (20th Century Fox, 1949). Six Sheet (81" X 81").
Gregory Peck gives one of his finest performances as General Frank Savage, sent to turn a battle-weary bomber squadron into a formidable fighting machine in this, one of the first Hollywood films to deal with the psychological effect of war on soldiers. Peck's god-like visage and a collage of images from the film make for an impressive poster, especially at the six sheet size. There was fold wear and crossfold separations, some chipping at the corners, and paper loss in the fold lines, all of which has been addressed with professional restoration. A great poster for a great film. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

The Memphis Belle (Paramount, 1944). One Sheet (27" X 41").
This stirring documentary, detailing a single representative flight of the Memphis Belle, a famed Flying Fortress during World War II, showcases the brave soldiers who flew over 25 successful missions in the legendary plane. Although uncredited, it was directed by William Wyler - who also helmed Roman Holiday (1953), Ben-Hur (1959), and Funny Girl (1968) - who actually flew with the crew and manned his own camera. The dramatic one sheet offered here had pinholes in the borders, crossfold separation, and a small hole in the left border, but is otherwise extremely clean and attractive. This one will look great hanging on your wall; don't let it fly away. Very Fine- on Linen.

Francis Ford Coppola's harrowing film -- a riff on Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness -- is possibly the greatest movie ever made about Vietnam.

A Tale of Two Cities (MGM, 1935). Poster (40" X 60").
David O. Selznick's adaptation of the Charles Dickens masterful novel is considered by many to be the standard by which all other versions are judged. Elizabeth Allen, Donald Woods and Ronald Colman are brilliant in this sweeping drama set against the backdrop of the French Revolution. There are chips along the edges and cracks at the borders and corners along with a bit of scuffing in the image. Still, this is a fantastic item from one of the finest MGM productions of Hollywood's Golden Age. Please note that due to the weight of this item, standard shipping rates may not apply.

Tobacco Road (20th Century Fox, 1941). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style B.
Erskine Caldwell's scandalous novel was initially turned into a steamy Broadway play - one of the longest running productions in the history of the Great White Way - and then came to the silver screen in this heavily expurgated film directed by John Ford. It's a backwoods family led by Jeeter Lester (Charley Grapewin) who is intensely protective of his clan. Rarely offered, here is the glorious style B one sheet for this popular film. It has pinholes in the corners, crossfold separation, a corner bend in the bottom right, minor staining in the image area, and a dust shadow in the bottom border, but these slight flaws do nothing to diminish the overwhelming eye-appeal possessed by this classic beauty.

Stage Struck (Warner Brothers, 1936). Insert (14" X 36").
Warner Brothers' director Busby Berkeley made a name for himself by helming such musicals as Footlight Parade and 42nd Street . While this musical is not as well known, it's still a toe-tapper in the true Berkeley fashion. Dick Powell and Joan Blondell star in this tried and true tale of young unknowns full of talent but short on exposure. So, what do they do? They put on a "big show," of course! This restored insert had tears in the borders and creasing in the left and right borders. Fine+ on Paper.

Private Number (20th Century Fox, 1936). One Sheet (27" X 41").
A well-to-do lad (Robert Taylor) falls for the family serving girl (Loretta Young) and marries below his station. His parents are unhappy about the union, but it's really the family butler (Basil Rathbone) who's desperate to break them up -- but that's mainly because he has the hots for Young himself (and who can blame him?). This lovely stone litho poster has a gorgeous shot of the youthful Young with outstanding artwork and great color. Condition issues included .75" trimmed off the right border, tearing in the image area and borders, and fold wear, all of which has been addressed with professional restoration. Very Good on Linen.

Daughter of Shanghai (Paramount, 1937). One Sheet (27" X 41").
The first Chinese-American movie star, Anna May Wong, a highly regarded and talented actress, had a series of major roles in successful films through the 1920s and 1930s. Unfortunately, these parts slowly dwindled during the 1940s due to racism and the "Yellow Peril" Americans felt during the war with Japan. She stars here in the lead role, as Lan Ying Lin, in this suspenseful crime drama directed by Robert Florey. Lin is hunting down her father's killers and aiding FBI agent Kim Lee (Philip Ahn) in an investigation into human traffickers played by J. Carrol Naish and Larry "Buster" Crabbe. This spectacular poster is in excellent condition and has been professionally restored to address minor issues of fold wear, and a small hole and tear in the top fold. Offered here, for the first time, is the rare one sheet which features a gorgeous portrait of the star and an action scene inset with two of the smaller bit players, one of whom is Anthony Quinn.

Stairway to Heaven (Universal International, 1946). Six Sheet (81" X 81").
When RAF pilot Peter Carter (David Niven) is forced to abandon his plane without a parachute, his soul is put on trial to decide whether he should be allowed to return to Earth and marry his sweetheart (Kim Hunter) or go on into the afterlife. Also known as A Matter of Life and Death, this quirky film - the scenes on Earth are filmed in Technicolor, while the scenes in Heaven are rendered in black-and-white - became the surprise hit of 1946 and has since inspired two separate stage productions. This lovely six sheet shows crossfold separation, pinholes in the image area, light edgewear in the left border, a small stain in the bottom right corner, and a small tear in the top right border, but is otherwise clean and attractive. This is the only known copy of this beautiful six sheet that we are aware of. From the Todd Feiertag Collection. Fine/Very Fine.

This lovely six sheet shows crossfold separation, pinholes in the image area, light edgewear in the left border, a small stain in the bottom right corner, and a small tear in the top right border, but is otherwise clean and attractive. This is the only known copy of this beautiful six sheet that we are aware of. From the Todd Feiertag Collection. Fine/Very Fine.
Leni Riefenstahl in "S.O.S. Eisberg" (Universal-German Adaptation, 1933). German Lobby Card (9" X 12").
This spectacular lobby card is from the German adaptation of this film which was shot simultaneously in English (also starring Leni Riefenstahl, but with American co-star Rod La Rocque). It is the tale of the real-life Alfred Lothar Wegener polar expedition of 1929-30. Before becoming a director, Riefenstahl first starred in several mountain/adventure films directed by her idol, Arnold Fanck, from whom she learned cinemagraphic techniques. This film marks the last of the US/German film collaborations, as the Nazi party was taking over power in Germany. Riefenstahl is most remembered today for her glorification of Hitler and the Nazis in her notorious propaganda films. There are Deutsche Universal Film logos, and a Film-Prufstelle embossed blind stamp on the reverse. A truly rare image of one of cinema's most controversial and enigmatic directors. Near Mint.

Hiroshima, mon amour (CWF, 1959). Polish One Sheet (22.75" X 33").
One of the most important films to come out of the French "Nouvelle Vague" movement, this is director Alain Resnais' complex examination of the importance of reconciling and coming to terms with the events of one's past, however horrible. The story, about an impromptu affair between a French woman (Emmanuelle Riva) trying to forget her experiences in Occupied France, and a Japanese man (Eiji Okada), coping with his memories of the atomic bomb explosion at Hiroshima and its horrifying after effects, is told through a series of flashback vignettes intercut with present day narrative. Although the picture received mixed reviews upon its initial release, it has since come to be recognized as one of the most important films of the Post-War period. This striking poster, with art by Stanislaw Zagorski, is in superb condition, and will make a wonderful addition to any collection. Near Mint.

Yojimbo (Toho, 1961). Japanese STB (20" X 58").
When a mysterious samurai (Toshiro Mifune) arrives in a small town, he finds the populace terrorized by warring gangs. Formulating a plan to set the gangs against one another, and thus save the town, the nameless samurai hires himself out to first one side, and then the other as a yojimbo (bodyguard). The story, which is based on Dashiell Hammett's detective novel, Red Harvest, was lifted virtually intact and remade as A Fistful of Dollars (1964), the first in director Sergio Leone's "Dollars" trilogy. In fact, director Akira Kurosawa successfully sued Leone for copyright infringement, and was awarded 15% of the Spaghetti Western's worldwide gross. Offered here for the first time by Heritage, is a very rare country-of-origin poster for this classic samurai film. It has pinholes in the corners, borders, and image area, and some small stains in the right side, but is otherwise extremely clean and attractive. Original posters from Kurosawa's classic films are extremely hard to come by; don't let this one get away from you, as it may be quite some time before another comes available. Fine/Very Fine.

Ugetsu Monogatari (Daiei, 1953). Japanese B3 "Nakazuri" (15.5" X 20.5").
This chilling Japanese ghost story, directed by Kenji Mizoguchi, revolves around two ambitious peasants - Genjuro (Masuyaki Mori) and Tobei (Sakae Ozawa) - who pursue their dreams with an almost single-minded devotion. They soon find, however, that their wishes are not granted without a terrible cost, a price that is borne by their innocent young wives. Widely considered to be Mizoguchi's masterpiece, this is a deeply affecting film that, once seen, is not soon forgotten. The rare, country-of-origin poster offered here shows some edge wear with small tears in the left and right borders, and foxing in the top border and on the fold lines, but is otherwise extremely clean and attractive. Original release posters from this period are extremely rare, so bid on this one today, as your chance to find another copy may not come around for quite some time. Fine+.

Red Beard (Toho, 1965). Large Japanese Poster (38.5" X 61.5").
Young doctor Noboru Yasumoto (Yuzo Kayama) is disappointed when he finds he has been assigned to the clinic of Dr. Kyojo Niide (Toshiro Mifune) for his internship, as he feels he is above working in a clinic that caters to the poor and dispossessed. He soon finds, however, that as difficult as Dr. Niide is to work with, he is a doctor of great skill and a man of great compassion. This was not only director Akira Kurosawa's final film in black-and-white, it was also his last picture to feature Mifune, with whom he had made some of his finest films. Apparently, Mifune's beard had to be maintained throughout the production of this movie, making it impossible for him to act in other films. The resulting financial hardship subsequently drew a wedge between the two former partners, a wedge exacerbated by the comments of scriptwriter Hideo Oguni, who complained to Kurosawa that Mifune played his part incorrectly. This caused Kurosawa to doubt his former leading man, whom he never hired again. As the final collaboration between two giants, or simply as a classic film about suffering and compassion, Red Beard is a great movie, and a landmark of Japanese cinema. As is the case with most of Kurosawa's films, original release paper is extremely hard to come by. The large poster offered here shows some ghosting, pinholes in the borders, and some small tears in the right border, but is, in all other respects, extremely clean and attractive. This is an unusual poster format, and no doubt exceedingly rare. Fine-.

Rather than go after his enemies directly, Mifune devises a devious plan to bring about their well-deserved ends in this scathing indictment of Japanese corporate culture. Offered here is an extremely rare STB for this important film. Aside from a small tear in the top border and some light handling wear, it is in excellent condition.

Shoe Shine (Lopert, 1946). Italian 2 - Folio (39.5" X 55").
One of the classics of Italian neo-realist cinema, this touching film by Vittorio DeSica - who also helmed Bicycle Thief (1948) and Umberto D. (1952) - tells the story of two Italian street children, abandoned by their parents in the wake of World War II, who make a living shining the shoes of American GIs. Their dream of someday owning a white horse is dashed when they are shipped off to a reformatory. Offered here is a beautiful poster from this critically acclaimed movie, featuring art by renowned Italian poster artist Luigi Martinati. In brilliant condition, only some fold wear and a few small holes in the bottom border keep this highly desirable sheet from an even higher grade. Very Fine on Linen.

Bitter Rice (Lux Film, 1949). Italian Poster (27.25" X 39.5").
Produced by Dino De Laurentiis and directed by Giuseppe De Santis, this earthy tale of women field workers in post-war Italy is one of the great landmark films of the neo-realist movement, and earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Writing. Silvana Mangano stars as a tempestuous rice worker who is loved by the good Marco (Raf Vallone), and by a small-time criminal, Walter (Vittorio Gassman). She ultimately chooses the wrong man, which leads to tragedy for herself and the other women of the story, including Walter's long suffering girlfriend, Francesca (Doris Dowling). This poster has been professionally restored to address small chips in the right border, and two tears at the left edge --one in the credits area and one in the title. There is a horizontal tear in the bottom border, pinholes in the corners, crossfold separations, and fold wear with small areas of paper loss. Although not released in the U.S. until 1950, we are proud to offer here for the first time, the Italian 1949 original release poster. A truly special country-of-origin item, with artwork by Dante Manno, featuring the stunning Mangano in red, with all of the drama and other characters swirling around her. Fine on Linen.

La Dolce Vita (Cineriz, 1961). Swedish One Sheet (27.5" X 39.5").
Few directors are as revered and imitated as Federico Fellini, a true artist whose style of film-making mixed dreams and gritty reality with a touching sense of humanity. After struggling financially with his early films, La Dolce Vita broke all box office records and garnered world-wide acclaim, marking this as one of many Fellini masterpieces. Filmed mainly at the Cinecitta studios, we follow star Anita Ekberg and Marcello Mastroianni as they escape the paparazzi through the streets of Rome. In superb condition, only some light edge wear keeps this beauty from an even higher grade. Rolled, Near Mint.

Closely Watched Trains (CWF, 1968). Polish One Sheet (22.75" x 32).
Winner of the 1967 Oscar for Best Foreign Language film, CWT stars Vaclav Neckar as a Czech railroad worker during the Nazi occupation who becomes embroiled with the underground resistance, and eventually volunteers for a suicide mission. This intriguing poster is a bit surreal, with eye-catching graphics. It has a light stain at the top left corner and a dust shadow in the bottom right, but retains a very fresh appearance.

Breathless (Euro International Films, 1960). Italian 2 - Folio (39" X 55").
Written and directed by Jean-Luc Godard, from a story by Francois Truffaut, this was Godard's first feature film, and would quickly become one of the most important pictures of the French Nouvelle Vague. It tells the story of Michel Poiccard (Jean-Paul Belmondo), a penny-ante hood, and Patricia Franchini (Jean Seberg), both on the run from the police after Michel kills a cop. Godard's use of jump cutting, improvised dialogue, location shooting, and a disconnected narrative form were to set a standard that other auteurs in France would quickly adopt. By the end of the decade, the influence of the French New Wave would extend to America, as seen in such landmark films as The Graduate (1967) and Bonnie and Clyde (1967). This lovely Italian poster had pinholes in the corners and pinpoint crossfold separation, but expert professional restoration has rendered these slight flaws virtually invisible, making this a poster you will own and display proudly. Very Fine on Linen.

Querelle (Albatros Filmproduktion, 1982). German A1 (23" X 33").
Based on the novel by Jean Genet, this was Rainer Werner Fassbinder's final and, by his own admission, most important movie. Brad Davis stars as Georges Querelle, a wayward sailor who is also a murderer and a thief. When his ship docks at Brest, he visits a strange brothel, where he becomes embroiled in larceny, love, and murder. Fassbinder died shortly after the film's release, at age 37, from an overdose of cocaine and sleeping pills. This full-bleed poster features striking Andy Warhol artwork (as well as the artist's printed signature) against a bold blue background. Aside from some light edge wear, the poster is in superb condition, ready to take its rightful place in your collection. Rolled, Very Fine.

Universal Exhibitor Book (Universal, 1932-33). Exhibitor Book (10" X 13").
By the early 1930s, Universal was one of the biggest studios in Hollywood. After scoring hit after hit in the silent era, they triumphed in the early sound years with their legendary horror line-up. The beautiful exhibitor's book offered here captures the spirit of Universal at this exciting time, featuring ads for such legendary films as The Invisible Man (which was slated to star Karloff, billed as "the master of the impossible in make-up," but the role was subsequently given to Claude Rains), The Old Dark House, Nana, Laughing Boy, Once in a Lifetime, and a beautiful 2-page spread advertising Tom Mix and his horse, Tony. Also shown here are a number of films that were announced but never made, and others that were reworked so as to barely assemble the original film advertised. One of the most intriguing is a double-page ad for a Karloff movie called Cagliostro, about a man who had lived for thousands of years. The screenplay was reworked to become The Mummy. Best of all, the book sports color illustrations by some of the studio's greatest artists including Karoly Grosz, Kulz, A. M. Froelich, Mulford, Wynne W. Davies, and more. The book shows some slight fading and scuffs on the cover, but the interior pages are in excellent condition. This is a spectacular book from Universal's golden age of filmmaking. Fine/Very Fine.

RKO Exhibitor Book 1933-1934 (RKO, 1933). Exhibitor Book (11" X 14").
When one looks at this beautiful pressbook promoting RKO's 1933-1934 season, it's clear that the studio was exceptionally proud of their upcoming productions. And with good reason! Within these colorful pages can be found gorgeous spreads trumpeting the future release of such classic films as Son of Kong and Flying Down to Rio, a promotion for a never-filmed (until the 1950s) version of Green Mansions with Dolores Del Rio, and even a promotion for the premiere of the new three-strip Technicolor process, presenting "the warmth of flesh and blood pulsating with life and color!" This highly desirable book shows some soiling on the embossed cover, a chip in the bottom edge of the first page, a split binding in the interior, a small stain in the bottom of the second page, and light general handling wear throughout. Nevertheless, this is a beautiful artifact from the height of the Golden Age of Hollywood, a piece any collector will cherish. Very Good/Fine.

Mighty Joe Young (RKO, 1949). Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style B.
Meet Mr. Joseph Young of Africa in this stop-motion movie from the Kong production team of Merian C. Cooper, Ernest B. Schoedsack, and of course, the master, Willis O'Brien. Robert Armstrong, basically reprising his Carl Denham role, plays showbiz huckster Max O'Hara, who uncovers the gentle giant in Africa, in the care of the luscious Terry Moore. O'Hara takes the ape back to the States and, well, things go badly. The film features some of the earliest professional work of young Ray Harryhausen. This half sheet has some smudging/staining in the borders, a tear at the left fold, corner creases, and a wrinkle in the right border. Folded, Fine/Very Fine.

Mighty Joe Young (RKO, 1949). Horizontal Window Card (14" X 22").
The creators of King Kong (1933), Meriam C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, revisited their simian theme with this classic picture. Living in Africa, the lovely Jill Young (Terry Moore) has raised her pet gorilla, Joe, from infancy, and now, when the ape has grown to a massive size, is convinced by Hollywood promoter Max O'Hara (Robert Armstrong) to bring the beast to America. Anyone who has seen King Kong or Son of Kong (1933) will know how that's going to work out. This unusual horizontal window card has some tears in the right border, surface paper loss in the left border, bumps in the bottom corners, and a light crease in the left side, but is, overall, an extremely attractive and desirable piece. Don't miss out on the chance to add this beauty to your collection. Folded, Fine+.

Konga (American International, 1961). Twelve Sheet (80" X 154").
This is one of the most rare examples of a relatively modern movie poster that we have seen in some time. It is a huge upright twelve sheet from this British science fiction thriller about a mad scientist who finds a monkey in the African jungle and brings him back to London as well as a growth serum from a carnivorous plant. Well from the looks of this poster, you get the rest. This rare poster, with artwork by Reynold Brown, is in exceptional, unused condition, showing only the most minimal fold wear in a few spots, and a few minor edge tears. Very Fine/Near Mint.

Curse of the Demon (Columbia, 1957). Insert (14" X 36").
Dana Andrews and Peggy Cummins headline this highly effective horror classic. Andrews was so impressed with director Jacques Tourneur, he asked the auteur to direct his next film The Fearmakers. This film was referenced in both The Rocky Horror Picture Show and in Kate Bush's song "The Hounds of Love," and is currently being considered for a remake. Filled with witchcraft and demons, Curse of the Demon may just be one of the best thrillers to come out of the late 50s. Prior to the expert restoration, there was a tear in the right border into the image area, and some staining in the credits area and in the lower border, however, this impressive piece was never folded. The bold colors and striking imagery more than make up for the minor flaws. Fine on Linen.

West of Shanghai (Warner Brothers, 1937). One Sheet (27" X 41").
There's no doubt that KARLOFF was the main promotional point of this evocative poster for the third remake of Porter Emerson Browne's popular play. Boris plays Wu Yen Fang, a powerful outlaw general who rules most of China, and gets involved in romantic entanglements with a rival. The poster had some crossfold separations with minor paper loss, pinholes in the corners; and additionally there was a small chip out of the bottom left corner all of which have been addressed with professional restoration. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Dracula (Universal, R-1960s). One Sheet (27" X 41").
After creating the role on stage, Bela Lugosi was chosen as the perfect actor to bring author Bram Stoker's suave and distinguished Count Dracula to life on the silver screen. The resulting film not only catapulted Lugosi to the height of Hollywood stardom, it also ushered in the Golden Age of Universal Horror. This dramatic one sheet, with its chilling image of Lugosi doing what vampires do best, is in excellent condition.

Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy (Universal International, 1955). Lobby Card Set of 8 (11" X 14").
This picture was the team's last for Universal, ending a highly successful run that began in 1940 with their appearance in One Night in the Tropics. Abbott and Costello had one more film in them after this, the forgettable Dance with Me, Henry (1956); for the next several years, the team would focus on television work before Costello's untimely death in 1959. Offered here is a wonderful set of lobby cards for this fondly remembered movie. The title card shows some foxing in the borders, one card has a pinhole in the center, and all cards display some light edge wear in the top left. Other than these minor flaws, this set is in excellent condition, just waiting for your bid. Fine/Very Fine.

Horror of Dracula (Universal International, 1958). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
Hammer Studios led the way in bringing horror back to the silver screen with this eerie tale, and its predecessor, The Curse of Frankenstein (1957). Both films feature Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, who would become twin icons of horror for a new generation. This striking half sheet has been mounted on linen, but is otherwise unrestored. It shows pinholes in the corners and borders, stains and smudges in the borders and in the image area, some touch-up painting near the edges, several instances of light surface paper loss in the borders, and scratches in the credits area. All in all, however, this is a very attractive piece that will make a fine addition to any collection. Fine on Linen.

Horror of Dracula (Universal International, 1958). Lobby Cards (2) (11" X 14").
No Christopher Lee fan could possibly pass up these two bloody great lobby cards from Hammer Film's classic retelling of the Bram Stoker tale.

Brides of Dracula (Universal, R-1960s). French Grande (47" X 63").
Universal Studios had become synonymous with horror classics beginning in the 1930s. After a lull in the genre during the late 1940s, interest in the original monsters, Frankenstein and Dracula, began waxing again with the release of a series of films developed by Hammer Studios in England and released in the U.S. through Universal. Brides of Dracula stars David Peel as the vampire Baron Meinster, with Peter Cushing as Dr. Van Helsing, and co-stars Martita Hunt and Freda Jackson. The poster is in wonderful condition with only pinholes in the corners, pinpoint crossfold separations, and minor fold wear. This bright and dramatic French grande features artwork by renowned French artist Joseph Koutachy. Posters for the U.S. release were done in a green duo-tone so this colorful French poster may be one of the best for the film. From the Thomas Long collection. Very Fine.

Curse of the Werewolf (Universal International, 1961). French Affiche (23.5" X 31").
Hammer's only werewolf film is a character-driven piece with a terrific performance by Oliver Reed, but doesn't shy away from lycanthropic mayhem and gore. Based on Guy Endore's The Werewolf of Paris, it is directed in full-blooded fashion by Terence Fisher. This nifty French affiche has neon colors, and Reed striking the classic werewolf pose; a great poster for this title. It has some minor fold wear, crossfold separation, and a small chip in the right border. It is linen-mounted but unrestored. From the Thomas Long Collection. Very Fine- on Linen.

Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla (Realart, 1952). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Filmed in nine days with a budget of $50,000, this may not be the most shining star on Bela Lugosi's filmography, but certainly it's one of the most interesting. The movie featured the comedy team of Duke Mitchell and Sammy Petrillo (their only known film), doing a blatant imitation of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, so much so that Lewis later sued Petrillo for it. While this picture is certainly not a masterpiece, the artwork on this one sheet is fairly impressive, and one can only imagine it was intriguing enough to get audiences into seats. Prior to restoration, there were edge tears and small chips on the lower border, tears along the right border, a piece missing in Lugosi's forehead, and a chip at the top left horizontal fold. After restoration, this poster looks amazing. Very Good/Fine on Linen.

Condemned to Live (Chesterfield, 1935). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
In a tiny European village, a series of vampire-like murders is taking place, and the town's kindly doctor (Ralph Morgan) begins to believe that he may be responsible -- because his mother was bitten by a vampire bat prior to his birth! This moody shocker was directed by Frank Strayer, with a supporting cast that includes Russell Gleason and Maxine Doyle. This wonderfully lurid stone litho three sheet has a stunning collection of images, all flanked by a big black bat. The poster had a small tear in the left side image area, fold wear with some paper loss in the folds, and a small amount of paper loss at the top right edge of the bottom panel. These issues have all been addressed with restoration. From the Thomas Long Collection. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

House on Haunted Hill (Allied Artists, 1959). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
William Castle directed this Vincent Price vehicle in 1959, one of two collaborations between the men, the other being The Tingler. It was the large box office grosses of this film which influenced Alfred Hitchcock to make his own low-budget horror movie, Psycho. The skeleton featured prominently on the poster plays an important role in the film, and was even incorporated within theaters for a brief time as an unexpected shock stunt, flying out toward audiences on a wire. House on Haunted Hill remains a definitive horror classic, mixing silliness and scares with great precision. There is edge wear with two small tears on the right border, an ink stamp and tape stain on the bottom right corner, and a crease on the bottom left corner. Rolled, Very Fine-.

Monster on the Campus (Universal International, 1958). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Jack Arnold's last monster movie was this wonky classic starring Arthur Franz as a college professor who accidentally drinks the blood of a recently-discovered prehistoric Coelacanth (don't ask), and gets transformed into a monster... on the campus. Legendary poster artist Reynold Brown concocts a colorful (and pretty faithful to the make-up design) tableau for this outstanding sheet. The top sections of this poster, down to the credits area, are pristine, but the bottom section has some water damage, with associated wrinkling, and there is a large crease in the bottom left corner. Still, Brown's artwork is untouched, and the poster presents beautifully. Fine/Very Fine.

This fun Universal film is one of those campy 1950s horror flicks that everyone loves to watch.

As his fame and popularity grows, so does the controversy surrounding his charismatic performance, mirroring the very similar controversy that surrounded Elvis "The Pelvis" in real life. As a bonus for Presley fans, The King's parents, Vernon and Gladys Presley, can be seen as extras in this movie. Offered here is a lovely one sheet for this fan-favorite film. It had fold wear with crossfold separations, as well as a tear and a partial punch-hole in the lower left, but expert professional restoration has returned this beauty to a like-new appearance. If you're a fan of The King, you owe it to yourself to bid on this poster! Very Fine- on Linen.

Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band," the title tune, and more.

The three sheet offered here shows some light wrinkling, and some soiling and water staining in the right border, but is otherwise in great condition. Fine/Very Fine.

Houdini (Paramount, 1953). Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style A.
Although this biopic isn't terribly faithful to the actual life of Harry Houdini (played here by Tony Curtis), this film certainly captures the spirit that made the former Ehrich Weiss the world's greatest magician.

Sweet Smell of Success (United Artists, 1957). One Sheet (27" X 41").
In this devastating look at the public relations industry, Burt Lancaster plays J. J. Hunsecker, an unscrupulous and manipulative newspaper columnist who delights in wielding his powerful pen. Tony Curtis is Sidney Falco, a brown-nosing publicist who will do anything to get an item in Hunsecker's column, including helping Hunsecker frame an innocent jazz musician whose only crime is dating Hunsecker's sister. Lancaster's character is clearly based on then-popular columnist Walter Winchell who, reportedly, was less than flattered by the portrayal. This exquisite one sheet had fold wear, and staple holes in the corners, but expert professional restoration has returned this gem to a like-new appearance. Very Fine on Linen.

Juke Girl (Warner Brothers, 1942). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").

Easy Rider (Columbia, R-1972). Poster (40" X 60").
Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, and Jack Nicholson star in this generational cult classic. This is another one of those films where things almost came together very differently than the final result. Hopper was planning on retiring from show business to become a teacher until Fonda asked him to do Easy Rider, promising him he could direct the film as well. The role of George Hanson, played ever so memorably by Jack Nicholson, almost went to Rip Torn, until some behind-the-scenes drama caused him to bow out. Bruce Dern was also a consideration for the Hanson role, but scheduling prevented his involvement. It's safe to say the final cast was pretty darn perfect, and the film itself certainly couldn't get much better than it is. There is a small stain on the top left corner, creasing on the left and right borders, light creasing throughout, and an ink mark on the top border. Rolled, Very Fine-.

Little Caesar (Warner Brothers, 1931). Herald (6" X 8.75").
In 1931, Warner Brothers found the formula that would ensure their success throughout the 1930s. Where Universal was known for gothic horror, and MGM for their lavish musicals, Warner Brothers found their niche in the "social problem" films that looked at the dark side of civilization, a dark side peopled with gangsters, thieves, and hit men. A pair of landmark films ushered in this new age for the studio, both released in 1931: Public Enemy, the film that made James Cagney a superstar, and Little Caesar, which did the same for Edward G. Robinson. Caesar tells the story of two-bit hood Enrico Bandello, who, through a combination of ruthless brutality and native cunning, rises virtually to the top of the criminal empire, before being brought down in a hail of bullets. It was a role that would forever define Robinson's career, one of the most inspired - and often-imitated - characters ever seen on the silver screen. It should come as no surprise, then, that paper from this film is exceptionally rare and exceedingly desirable; in eight years of auctions, we've only ever offered one lobby card and one other copy of this attractive herald. This particular copy has a small tear in the right side, and an extra crease on the left side, but is otherwise in superb condition. If you've been looking for something from this great film, consider this exquisite piece, as it may be quite some time before anything else is offered. Very Fine-.

Folded, Fine/Very Fine.

Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall starred in this potboiler set in 1940s San Francisco.

The colorful lobby card features a great shot of our hero looking sharp in a suit and fedora. There are small corner bumps in the top and bottom left. Near Mint-.

Broadway Bill (Columbia, 1934). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
A beautiful portrait card from the heartwarming film by director Frank Capra. This picture was done in the depression era, telling the story of a racehorse that literally runs his heart out.

Restoration has addressed pinholes in the top image area, a tear in the right border, chipping in the left and right borders, and chips in the right corner. Fine+ on Paper.

Little Women (RKO, 1933). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Silver screen legend Katharine Hepburn starred in this very early performance (her second film), a role she was quoted as saying "was heaven to do," and even calling director George Cukor "perfect" in her autobiography. Uncredited producer David O. Selznick apparently had a hard time getting RKO Pictures to produce the movie, since at the time, studios felt that films based on historical novels weren't popular, and especially considering the subject matter being about women in the Civil War. But Selznick insisted, and the picture was a hit, which later allowed him to produce Gone with the Wind through his own company. There are two horizontal folds, some light smudging in the borders, and pinpoint staining overall. Fine-.

Once Upon a Honeymoon (RKO, 1942). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Cary Grant and Ginger Rogers star in this Leo McCarey directed picture taking place in pre-World War II Europe.

Shipwrecked on a tropical island, Carole Lombard and her society friends must take orders from lowly crewman Bing Crosby, the only one among them who knows how to fend for himself and protect against the elements; it's no big spoiler to say he also gets the girl by the end.

Rain (Astor, R-1940s). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Stranded on a remote island in the South Seas when her ship is quarantined, Sadie Thompson (Joan Crawford), a woman of questionable virtue, attempts to entertain the American soldiers stationed there. Unfortunately, fire-and-brimstone preacher Alfred Davidson (Walter Huston) is determined to bring Sadie into the fold and save her from her evil ways. Based on a story by W. Somerset Maugham, this was a remake of 1928's Sadie Thompson, which starred Gloria Swanson, and would be itself remade in 1953 as Miss Sadie Thompson, with Rita Hayworth in the title role. The lovely stone litho poster offered here - that features the classic tag-line, "You Men! You're all alike... PIGS! I wouldn't trust any of you!" - had fold wear, crossfold separation with chipping, edge tears (some extend into the image area), chipping in the borders, and a piece missing in the bottom right corner. After expert professional restoration, this poster looks as good as new, with bright, vibrant colors, and a lovely image of Crawford. Posters for this title are very hard to come by. Very Good+ on Linen.

One Million Years B.C. (20th Century Fox, 1966). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
Though we have offered numerous versions of this film's posters, this is actually the first time we have ever sold a three sheet. Raquel Welch wore a fur bikini and blew the minds of almost every man in the 1960s, becoming an instant poster girl, and, let's face it - a major selling point to this caveman-era epic. But don't discount the film's impressive special effects, which get a helping hand by the great Ray Harryhausen. Robert Brown, who plays Akhoba in the movie, would go on to succeed Bernard Lee as "M" in the James Bond films. Two-time "Bond Girl" Martine Beswick also appears in this picture. There is fold wear with small chips in the top area only. Very Fine- on Linen.
Though we have offered numerous versions of this film's posters, this is actually the first time we have ever sold a three sheet.

Beginning of the End (Republic, 1957). Insert (14" X 36").
Some years before his career-defining role in Mission Impossible, Peter Graves starred in this 1957 "big bug" movie set in Chicago. Despite its low-budget effects and far-fetched plot devices, the film remains a favorite among classic sci-fi fans. Peggie Castle played a strong female lead (somewhat rare for the time), and Morris Ankrum played the authoritative military figure, a character type he became known for. We know, the idea of giant grasshoppers seems a little silly, but this intense poster is still a fine example of 50s sci-fi epics. There are two pinholes in the lower left corner, four pinholes in the image area, some chips on the right border, cellophane tape on the reverse, a small tear on the bottom border, and bottom left corner edge wear. Outside of these defects, the poster is still an impressive image from a rather fun time in theaters of yesteryear. Rolled, Fine+.

Attack of the Puppet People (American International, 1958). One Sheet (27" X 41").
This eerie tale follows John Hoyt as Mr. Franz, a maniacal doll maker who wants to keep his secretary, Sally (June Kenney), for himself. When she decides to marry Bob (John Agar) instead, they both become pawns in Franz's mad experiments, and are turned into puppets. A fantastic image, this poster is in excellent condition with only edge wear at the left border, and ghosting at the bottom. Very Fine.

War of the Colossal Beast (American International, 1958). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Col. Glenn Manning (Dean Parkin, replacing Glenn Langan) became a colossal "beast" in this installment so that the producers could avoid pegging the movie as a sequel to The Amazing Colossal Man. Featuring a (very) brief color sequence at the end, this was an altogether more lurid affair than the first film, especially with Manning's face now eaten away to a half-skull. The beast hefts a city bus on this outstanding one sheet, and the passengers go flying. A truly superb example, this sheet has been awarded the highest grade given to a linen-backed poster. Very Fine+ on Linen.

The Fly (20th Century Fox, 1958). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
Adapted from George Langelaan's short story, this classic science fiction film unfolds in flashback, as French socialite Helene Delambre (Patricia Owen) relates how her husband (David Hedison) began experimenting with teleportation, got a little careless, and ended up with the head and arm of a fly. Vincent Price puts in a memorable supporting turn as Hedison's brother. This superb three sheet features a unique design not seen on any other paper for this title, and is frankly superior to the one sheet. Condition issues included fold wear with some tears and crossfold separations, a small tear in the top border, and a small hole and chip in the top border, all of which has been addressed with professional restoration. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

The Crawling Eye (DCA, 1958). Insert (14" X 36").
Though Forrest Tucker is mostly known for his character in F-Troop, he had a chance to show his acting chops on a more serious level in this under-rated sci-fi gem. Through the years, many fans have argued how much The Crawling Eye has been imitated, and in some cases practically duplicated, by recent bigger budget films. Even John Carpenter went on record saying this film was a big inspiration for his 1980 film The Fog. If the wild imagery on the poster isn't enough to grab you, we don't know what is! There is a small tear and small stain in the lower left border, some corner bumps, some edge wear on the left border, and an additional fold. But make no mistake, the impact of this poster's art is unaffected, and its boldness isn't compromised in the least. Folded, Fine/Very Fine.

The Killer Shrews (McLendon Radio Pictures, 1959). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
James Best starred in this low budget feature long before he became famous as Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane on The Dukes of Hazzard. The fantastic art on this poster is definitely more satisfying than the movie itself, though many regard it as a schlocky classic that simply must be seen to be appreciated. Shot in Dallas, The Killer Shrews is still regarded as one of the most successful "regional films," since it not only received national distribution, but even foreign sales. There is edge wear with surface paper loss on the top border, light smudging in the borders, and bends on the top and bottom right side. Rolled, Very Fine-.

The Terminator (Orion, 1984). One Sheet (27" X 41").
This trendsetting picture - about an unstoppable killing machine sent back in time to assassinate the mother of the man (yet to be born) who will someday be the leader of the human resistance forces in a war against cyborgs - remains one of Arnold Schwarzenegger's greatest roles. The film was so successful, it spawned several film sequels and a TV show. This highly desirable one sheet is in superb condition; only some edge wear in the right border keeps it from an even higher grade. Rolled, Very Fine/Near Mint.

This is the special "UFO Facts" style one sheet for Steven Spielberg's classic science fiction story, explaining the different levels of contact one could have with extra-terrrestrial visitors. Only our policy of not giving linen-backed posters a higher grade than Very Fine+ prevents us from giving this beauty better marks.

Set in the far-flung future world of 1973, this exciting 1950s sci-fi flick is about a manned mission to Mars that is mysteriously wiped out, and the rescue ship that travels to the Red planet to investigate.

Nevertheless, it is an attractive piece that any sci-fi fan will be proud to own. Folded, Fine+.

Planet of the Apes (20th Century Fox, 1968). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Pierre Boulle's Monkey Planet was the basis for this satirical science fiction adventure, released the same year as 2001: A Space Odyssey. Charlton Heston -- who was instrumental in getting the project greenlit -- plays Taylor, an astronaut stranded on an "upside down" world ruled by simians. The legendary "surprise" ending is well-known at this point, but still holds considerable power. This stark poster highlights the film's innovative (and ultimately Oscar-winning) make-up design, and is a favorite among sci-fi collectors. Pinholes in the corners were the only condition issues of note, and these have been addressed with professional restoration. Very Fine on Linen.

2001: A Space Odyssey (MGM, 1970). One Sheet (27" X 41") Star Child Style.
When MGM decided to revamp the advertising campaign for this blockbuster film in 1969, they chose the tagline "The Ultimate Trip." "The Eye" and the "Star Child" posters were conceived for the 1969, 70mm relaunch in New York, while the film was still playing around the country in its original 35mm format. The "Star Child" image was retained for subsequent releases, and is therefore the more common of the two. We have sold later re-issue posters of this design, however early printings are hard to come by, and this particular item is from 1970. It is in excellent condition having been professionally mounted on linen to address light fold wear. Very Fine+ on Linen.

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (Columbia, 1964). Lobby Card Set of 8 (11" X 14").
Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece of satire stars Peter Sellers in three roles he was born to play: Group Captain Lionel Mandrake, President Merkin Muffley, and Dr. Strangelove. A madcap romp throughout, the outstanding supporting cast includes George C. Scott, Sterling Hayden, Keenan Wynn, Slim Pickens, and James Earl Jones. The title card (which features artwork by Tomi Ungerer) has a dust shadow and foxing in the borders, and all cards have corner pinholes. This is a great set from a classic black comedy of the Cold War. Very Fine-.

Lolita (MGM, 1962). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Stanley Kubrick directs this brilliant adaptation of Vladimir Nabokov's classic novel. James Mason, as disturbed Professor Humbert Humbert, is infatuated with 15-year-old nymphet Lolita (Sue Lyon), whose flighty mother is wonderfully played by Shelly Winters. The film caused unending controversy (as did the novel), despite the major changes Kubrick was forced to make by the censors, but it remains a powerful and well-crafted piece of cinema. This iconic poster is in excellent condition, with only slight fold wear, typical of the one sheets of this period that have the glossy, clay-coated finish. Very Fine.

Lolita (MGM, 1962). Italian Folio (27" X 37.5").
Almost 800 girls auditioned for the title role in director Stanley Kubrick's Lolita, but it was Sue Lyon that won the part, and is prominently featured in a variety of shots on this great Italian poster. To call this film (and even author Vladimir Nabokov's novel) controversial would be a rather obvious under-statement, one of the main reasons finding the principal cast was no easy task. James Mason was Kubrick's first choice for Humbert Humbert, but almost wasn't available due to his commitment in a Broadway play. Ultimately Mason withdrew from that play just to be in this film. There are pinholes in the top corners, a long tear in the top center, some fold wear and crossfold separations, and censor stamps in the image area. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Killer's Kiss (United Artists, 1955). Lobby Card Set of 8 (11" X 14").
Stanley Kubrick's second feature (and the last not based on previously published material) is a gritty, raw-edged film noir about a two-bit boxer (Jamie Smith) who falls hard for a nightclub dancer (Irene Kane), but has to deal with her psychotic ex-boss (Frank Silvera) who wants the girl for himself. A grimy odyssey through the mean streets of NYC leads to a memorable climax in a warehouse full of department store mannequins. This outstanding lobby card set is about as good as you could ask for. The title card has a very minor crimp in the bottom border, and each card has a very faint corner crease in the top right. Near Mint.

The Killing (United Artists, 1956). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
Veteran criminal Johnny Clay (Sterling Hayden) makes one fatal error when he plans a racetrack heist: he surrounds himself with losers and small-time hoods who quickly discover that they are in way over their heads. This was one of Stanley Kubrick's earliest directorial assignments; the picture caught the eye of Kirk Douglas, leading him to seek out Kubrick to helm his upcoming film, Paths of Glory (1957), which was then followed by Spartacus (1960). The dramatic three sheet offered here had pinholes in the corners, fold wear with crossfold separation, tearing in the folds, and chips out of the lower left border, but is, overall, extremely clean, attractive, and presentable. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Gilda (Columbia, R-1950). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Charles Vidor directs this hard-boiled film noir, which made an icon of star Rita Hayworth. Her performance of "Put the Blame on Mame" is one of the most electrifying scenes in all of cinema. And her sultry, tormented scenes with Glenn Ford are mesmerizing to behold. Images of Hayworth from this classic are highly collectible, and this beautiful early re-issue one sheet is no exception. The poster has been professionally restored to address minor issues of a small tear in the top right corner, a small chip in the bottom border, fold wear, and crossfold separations. This full-length portrait of a smoking hot Gilda is just sensational. Very Fine- on Linen.

I Wanted Wings (Paramount, 1941). Color-Glos Lobby Card (11" X 14").
This color-glos lobby card for the film starring Ray Milland and William Holden is extremely rare, and pretty snazzy looking too. The story follows the military training and personal lives of three U.S. Army Air Corps recruits, and a sexy love interest played ever so appropriately by Veronica Lake. Several actual military members were used during filming, and many of the buildings and even some artwork used in the movie still exists today in San Antonio at Randolph Field, where much of the film was shot. There are pinholes in the top and bottom left corners, a small tear in the top border, and a light crease in the top right. This is such a rarely seen beauty, you'd do well not to pass up this opportunity. Fine/Very Fine.

The Letter (Warner Brothers, 1940). Mini Window Card (8" X 14").
Based on the W. Somerset Maugham novel, Leslie Crosbie (Bette Davis) murders her lover Geoffrey Hammond (David Newell) and attempts to return to her sedate life with husband Herbert Marshall on his rubber plantation. This became one of the most celebrated films of Davis's career. William Wyler directs this thriller to perfection, and Gale Sondergaard is delightfully wicked as Hammond's first jilted lover. This card, printed with the wonderful Warner Brothers linen finish, has pinholes at the edges, light edge wear, chips in the bottom border, and creases in the lower right corner. Here Davis is at her most dangerous, with smoking gun and sultry looks. Fine+.

This fine pair of lobby cards has great shots of Powell and lovely leading lady Anne Shirley.

The Magnificent Ambersons (RKO, 1942). Lobby Cards (3) (11" X 14").
Orson Welles's follow-up to Citizen Kane was the sprawling story of a wealthy family in turn-of-the-century Indianapolis. The film was legendarily shorn of almost an hour by studio heads after it tested badly, and without Welles's consent or involvement. The stellar cast includes Joseph Cotton, Dolores Costello, Tim Holt, Anne Baxter, and Oscar-nominated Agnes Moorehead. This lot features three excellent lobby cards from the film, the first of which has a 1" tear on the left side, multiple border chips, and dust shadowing on the left edge; the second has a chip in the top border and a small stain in the credits area; the third has some surface paper loss in the top border and small corner bumps in the top corners. Fine.
Orson Welles's follow-up to Citizen Kane was the sprawling story of a wealthy family in turn-of-the-century Indianapolis. The film was legendarily shorn of almost an hour by studio heads after it tested badly, and without Welles's consent or involvement.

The Night of the Hunter (United Artists, 1955). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Robert Mitchum is terrifyingly evil as Harry Powell, a pseudo-preacher who comes to a small town in search of money stolen and hidden by his now deceased prison cellmate, Ben Harper (Peter Graves). In order to get close to the only people who know the whereabouts of the cash, Harper's children, played by Billy Chapin and Sally Jane Bruce, he marries their flighty mother Willa (Shelley Winters). The moral battle between good and evil is the central theme of this noir-ish classic from Charles Laughton, his only directorial credit. Lillian Gish gives a powerful performance as Rachel, the children's protector. This one sheet had fold wear with a few tears in the image, crossfold separations, and minor chips at the folds in the left and right borders. It has been professionally restored, and now these issues are no longer apparent. A clean and bright copy featuring artwork of Mitchum and Winters, this is one striking poster. Fine on Linen.

Road House (20th Century Fox, 1948). British Quad (30" X 40").
A little therapy and rage management would go a long way to helping the characters in this film come to grips with their feelings. Richard Widmark plays the owner of a roadhouse/bowling alley (and a borderline psycho), who has the hots for his torch singer (Ida Lupino). She, of course, only has eyes for the place's manager, Cornel Wilde. So Widmark frames Wilde on a robbery charge and then gets him released into his custody and puts the screws to him, which, of course, only makes Ida love him more. Condition issues on this evocative British quad include pinholes in the corners and field, a small tear in the top border, light fold wear, corner creases at the top, and paper tape on the reverse. Fine/Very Fine.

Fallen Angel (20th Century Fox, 1945). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Otto Preminger directed this film noir as a follow-up to his smash hit Laura, casting Dana Andrews as a down-and-out reporter who winds up in a small town and gets involved with two women (Alice Faye and Linda Darnell). He marries Faye to get her money, and plans to run off with Darnell, but she turns up dead. Prior to excellent restoration, this poster had edge wear on the left border, fold wear with crossfold separation, and a small hole in the credits. The poster has been beautifully restored and looks great. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Scarlet Street (Universal, 1946). French Affiche (23.75" X 31.5").
This solid film noir, directed by Fritz Lang, one of the architects of the genre, is about a man, Christopher Cross (Edward G. Robinson), who finds himself in the midst of a mid-life crisis when he begins an affair with Kitty March (Joan Bennett), a younger woman. Her fiance convinces her to take Cross for everything he's worth, thinking that he is a wealthy artist, leading to a tragic climax for all involved. This beautiful French affiche, with art by Pafi, had fold wear with crossfold separations, and a missing top left corner, but is otherwise in great condition. Paper from this title is extremely desirable, so bid on this beauty today. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

T-Men (Eagle Lion, 1947). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Dennis O'Keefe stars as a treasury agent in this extremely rare film noir. O'Brien and his partner (Alfred Ryder) go undercover to try and bust up a Detroit counterfeiting ring. Hard-hitting and unusually violent for its day, T-Men was a showcase for director Anthony Mann. Posters and lobby cards for this film are difficult to come across, mostly likely as a result of the film being distributed by an independent distributor. This outstanding title lobby card has pinholes in the corners, slightly rounded corners, and a very light stain in the bottom right border. Very Fine.

The Big Clock (Paramount, 1948). French Affiche (23.5" X 31.5").
All clues point inward when George Stroud (Ray Milland) is tasked with finding a killer by publishing tycoon Charles Laughton, in this gripping, taut thriller. The film is directed by John Farrow and co-stars his wife, Maureen O'Sullivan, and Laughton's wife, Elsa Lanchester. We have never had the privilege of offering this striking design with Laughton's face on the clock, created by the noted French artist Boris Grisson. It had areas of slight missing paper in the top and bottom borders prior to professional restoration, and light edge wear is still apparent on the left side. The image area is untouched and the poster displays magnificently. Fine+ on Linen.

Night Has a Thousand Eyes (Paramount, 1948). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Adapted from the novel by Cornell Woolrich, this sleek film noir stars Gail Russell and John Lund as a young couple who get involved with a mentalist (Edward G. Robinson) who foresees doom. This excellent one sheet has a creepy eye motif and an impressive image of Robinson. Pinholes in the field and some fold wear were the only condition issues, which have been addressed with professional restoration. Very Fine- on Linen.

The Killers (Universal, 1946). Swedish One Sheet (27.5" X 39.5").
Burt Lancaster as the Swede and Ava Gardner as Kitty Collins, star in one of the top film noirs ever made, with one of the greatest opening sequences in film history. Robert Siodmak directs the taut Ernest Hemingway story of an aging boxer who falls in with the wrong crowd, and falls for an alluring femme fatale. This original Swedish one sheet showcases a sexy Ava Gardner in a photo inset, front and center. There is slight edge wear in the bottom and top borders and a small tear at the top edge. Very Fine+.

The Godfather Part II (Paramount, 1974). Advance One Sheet (27" X 41").
Francis Ford Coppola wanted Martin Scorsese to direct this sequel to the legendary mob melodrama, but the studio said no, and so Coppola reluctantly signed on to helm the second installment, continuing the labyrinthine saga of the Corleone family. This little-seen Advance features a stark image of Robert DeNiro's young don. An extra vertical crease is the only condition issue to note, making this one of the finest examples of this rare sheet you're likely to find. Near Mint.

Rififi (Gaumont, 1955). British Quad (30" X 40").
In one of the true progenitors of the modern "caper" film, this Jules Dassin-directed masterpiece features a band of disparate thieves who join forces to stage a bold nighttime robbery at a swanky English jewelry shop in the Rue de Rivoli. The centerpiece of the film is the 32-minute robbery sequence, which is free of dialogue or music. Condition issues on this nifty British quad include edge wear with small tears, fold wear with crossfold separations, and a chip out of the top left corner. Fine+.

Blue Steel (Monogram, 1934). Stock One Sheet (27" X 41").
This was a relatively early film in John Wayne's career; Stagecoach, the movie that would make him a star of the first order, was still several years in his future. This film, directed by Robert N. Bradbury, was made during the years that Wayne was churning out B Westerns for Monogram. Here, he comes up against bad guy Yakima Canutt, best known as one of the leading stuntmen of the serial era. There's even a role for George Hayes - before he took the nickname "Gabby" - as the town sheriff. This gorgeous stone litho stock one sheet had some fold wear, crossfold separations, and chips in three borders. Professional restoration and linen backing has corrected these few flaws, resulting in a truly stunning piece. Fine on Linen.

Overland Stage Raiders (Republic, 1938). One Sheet (27" X 41").
The alluring and elusive Louise Brooks made her last film appearance in this Three Mesquiteers installment, the second to feature John Wayne in the role of Stony Brooke. Greyhound buses toting shipments of gold are being hijacked, and the boys (Ray "Crash" Corrigan and Max Terhune making up the other two prongs of the triumvirate, as usual) swoop in to beat the bad guys. Although it lacks an image of Brooks, this excellent unrestored poster still has great artwork featuring the main cast, with fresh, eye-popping color. Condition issues include pinholes in the corners, fold wear with small tears, crossfold separations, tears in the right side and bottom border repaired with tape on the reverse, and chips out of the top and left borders. Fine+.

Stagecoach (United Artists, R-1948). Insert (14" X 36").
One of the greatest films of all time, this John Ford classic not only redefined the Western as a serious cinematic genre, but made an overnight superstar of John Wayne, who had previously toiled in "B" pictures for studios such as Republic and Monogram. As the Ringo Kid, Wayne is instrumental in getting a group of travelers safely to their destination, revealing hidden truths about each of them along the way. Less a standard Western than an insightful character piece, the film also marks the beginning of Ford's love affair with Monument Valley, a location that would figure prominently in a number of his later films. Offered here is a gorgeous insert from the 1948 re-release of this classic film. It had tearing and chipping in all the borders, but expert restoration has rendered these slight flaws virtually invisible. Don't miss out on your chance to own this great poster. Fine on Linen.

Stagecoach (United Artists, R-1948). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
Although John Wayne had made almost eighty films already in his career, Stagecoach was the one that made him a star. Director John Ford decided to shoot the film in Monument Valley, partly for its epic beauty, and partly because its remoteness and lack of paved roads meant no other film had ever been shot there, and it would be more difficult for the studio to interfere. The result was an instant classic. This somewhat lurid half sheet ("Women's souls stripped bare!") for the 1948 re-issue has sultry artwork and a great image of Wayne. Condition issues included fold wear with some paper loss, crossfold separations, tears in the top and right borders which run into the image area, and small chips and tears in the bottom border, all of which has been addressed with restoration. Very Good+ on Paper.

Stagecoach (United Artists, R-1961). Polish One Sheet (23" x 33.5").
This classic Western made a star of John Wayne and proved to be one of director John Ford's best films. Needless to say, there's no other paper on this title quite like this cartoony Polish poster for a 1961 re-issue; the distinctive artwork is by Jerzy Treutler. Very light fold wear and a small tear on the right edge were the only condition issues, and these have been corrected with professional restoration. Very Fine on Linen.

The Dark Command (Republic, 1940). Half Sheets (2) (22" X 28") Styles A & B.
Loosely based on the story of the real-life Confederate guerilla leader William Quantrill, who led his "Quantrill's Raiders" on an infamous attack of Lawrence, Kansas - a well-known stronghold for anti-slavery forces - in 1863, this A-list Republic feature stars John Wayne as Bob Seton, a peaceful cowpoke who runs for Marshall against respected schoolteacher Will Cantrell (Walter Pidgeon). Their political rivalry soon turns bloody once the Civil War breaks out, and Cantrell leads a band of raiders in an attack on the town. Offered here are both styles of half sheet; the Style A poster has pinholes in the borders, and light edge wear at the top, while the Style B sheet has pinholes in the borders, small tears in the left border, chips in the bottom left and right corners, and a punch mark - with no paper loss - in the left of the image area. Both posters are very attractive and highly presentable, perfect as a treasured addition to any collection. Rolled, Fine/Very Fine.

The Dark Command (Republic, 1940). Insert (14" X 36").
Claire Trevor, John Wayne, and Walter Pidgeon star in this romantic period epic. The movie was directed by Raoul Walsh, who gave Wayne his first chance at fame with The Big Trail in 1929. Unfortunately, that film performed poorly, and the Duke's success would have to wait. Pidgeon's character in The Dark Command is loosely based on real-life Confederate guerrilla leader William Quantrill, even written as being born and schooled in the same place. The film co-starred Roy Rogers and George "Gabby" Hayes. There is some soiling in the borders, paper tape on the reverse, one center fold, two tears on the right border which go into the image area, a tear on the lower left, and a chip out of the bottom left corner. Folded, Very Good/Fine.

The Spoilers (Universal, 1942). Insert (14" X 36").
Marlene Dietrich, Randolph Scott, and John Wayne headline this Old West yarn about miners trying to save their gold claim from a crooked commissioner. Harry Carey also appears as Wayne's business partner, and sadly, this film marked the final on-screen appearance of Richard Barthelmess. There had actually been three previous theatrical incarnations of this storyline, each bearing the same title, but many seem partial to this particular version. Perhaps it's the explosions and bar room fights, or maybe it's that The Duke has two women vying for his affection, but whatever the reason, this fun romp remains a solid and entertaining Western. Prior to restoration, there were tears in the borders going into the image area, and some slight creasing. Very Good on Paper.

The Quiet Man (Republic, 1952). Lobby Card Set of 8 (11" X 14").
John Ford directs, and John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara star, in this light-hearted romance set in Ireland. Wayne is Sean Thornton, an American ex-boxer who has sworn not to fight again after having killed a man in the ring. He meets and marries the tempestuous Mary Kate Danaher (O'Hara), whose pride is wounded when Thornton won't fight for her dowry. Comedic elements are provided by the locals, played by Ward Bond, Victor McLaglen, and Barry Fitzgerald. The title card has pinholes in the field, a tear in the left and bottom borders, light edge wear, a corner bend, and a paper clip stain in the bottom border. One card has a tear in the right border, and the rest have pinholes, some smudges, and a few corner bends. Fine+.

The Searchers (Warner Brothers, 1956). Australian Daybill (13" X 30").
Given that John Wayne was 20 years too old to be playing Ethan Edwards, director John Ford considered both Rock Hudson and Robert Mitchum, but eventually, cooler heads prevailed, and the Duke got one of the best roles of his career in this classic Western. This gorgeous Australian daybill has the familiar red-and-orange skyscape, and is in excellent shape, with a crease in the top left corner, some dust shadowing in the right border, and minor fold wear. Folded, Very Fine.

The Alamo (United Artists, 1960). Lobby Card Set of 8 (11" X 14").
John Wayne made his directorial debut with this epic (if historically shaky) version of the legendary battle, with Wayne himself as Davy Crockett and Richard Widmark as Jim Bowie. This excellent lobby card set has great images of the Duke, and the Alamo itself. There is a corner ding and a light crease that run through the entire set, and there is some light dust shadowing on one card. The set displays beautifully. Very Fine-.

The Alamo (United Artists, 1960). Belgian (19.5" X 25.5").
John Wayne's version of the epic battle at the Alamo for the independence of Texas was actually filmed in Bracketville, Texas, about a hundred miles from the original site in San Antonio. The beautiful thing about this oversized Belgian poster is that, aside from the U.S. 24 sheet which has never turned up, this is the only poster that shows the entire panorama of the exquisite art that Reynold Brown executed for the original poster campaign. There are pinholes in the corners and borders and an extra vertical crease. There is a strip of museum tape on the reverse. Very Fine.

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (Paramount, 1962). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
Timid lawyer Ransom Stoddard (James Stewart) is saved numerous times by his more experienced tough-guy friend Tom Doniphon (John Wayne) during run-ins with a band of outlaws led by Liberty Valance (Lee Marvin) in this top Western classic. This is the first film in which the two legends (Wayne and Stewart) would star together, and here they are both vying for Vera Miles. This half sheet has a minor dust shadow at the right edge and a small horizontal crease in the center. A great image with color portraits of these Western legends, it is considered the best format for this film. Folded, Very Fine.

Days of Jesse James (Republic, 1939). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
A greedy bank president holds up his own bank, and pins the blame on the notorious Jesse James (Donald Barry). Roy Rogers is assigned the case, but eventually learns that, this time at least, James is blameless. A fast-moving Western, with pretty Pauline Moore in the female lead. This great-looking half sheet has fold wear, light edge wear at the top border, and pinholes in the borders. Folded, Fine/Very Fine.

Young Buffalo Bill (Republic, 1940). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Never one to be bothered with historical accuracy, Hollywood casts Roy Rogers as "Buffalo Bill," a purely fictional character having nothing to do with the real-life cowpoke. Roy/Bill and Gabby Hayes are surveyors in the New Mexico territories who get involved with conflicting claims on a gold mine. Condition issues on this great one sheet include pinholes in the corners, edge wear with small tears, a long stain at the vertical fold, tears both in Roy's face and in the Indians on horseback, repaired with tape on the reverse, crossfold separations with some fold splitting, a scuff in the lower image of Roy's face, and tape residue at the top right of the poster. It still presents very well with excellent color. Fine.

Roy/Bill and Gabby Hayes are surveyors in the New Mexico territories who get involved with conflicting claims on a gold mine. Condition issues on this great one sheet include pinholes in the corners, edge wear with small tears, a long stain at the vertical fold, tears both in Roy's face and in the Indians on horseback, repaired with tape on the reverse, crossfold separations with some fold splitting, a scuff in the lower image of Roy's face, and tape residue at the top right of the poster. It still presents very well with excellent color. Fine.
Young Buffalo Bill (Republic, 1940). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
One of a series of "historical" Westerns Roy Rogers did in the early '40s, this casts the famous singing' cowboy as the also famous Buffalo Bill Cody in his early years, here depicted as an assistant land surveyor in old New Mexico. He enlists the aid of a hostile Indian tribe to combat bad guys who are looking to get their hands on valuable mineral deposits. Eventually, the Cavalry rides in. This neat half sheet has a great, color image of Rogers, and sepia-toned images from the film. Condition issues include fold wear with tears in the borders (repaired with paper tape on the reverse), smudging and dust shadows in the borders, rounded corners, and surface paper loss in the right border. Folded, Very Good+.

Hang 'Em High (United Artists, 1968). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
The first film produced by Clint Eastwood's Malpaso production company, Hang 'Em High is more traditionally-flavored than the Leone Spaghetti Westerns that had proven so popular.

Dirty Harry (Warner Brothers, 1971). Italian 4 - Folio (55" X 78").
This large Italian version of the Dirty Harry poster is big, bold, and in your face... just like Harry Callahan. Don Siegel directed the quintessential film of the 70s, which solidified Eastwood as one of the best tough guys of the silver screen.

But accolades must also go to writer John Milius, who penned the ever so famous lines "Did he fire six shots or five" and "Do you feel lucky punk?" Several other actors were originally considered for the role of Harry, including Frank Sinatra, Marlon Brando, and Paul Newman. It was Newman who suggested Eastwood for the now famous role. There is some toning on the folds.

The Phantom Empire (Mascot, 1935). Belgian Poster (16.5" X 23.5").
When temperamental cowboy star Ken Maynard refused to appear in another serial for Nat Levine's Mascot studio, he opened the door for up-and-coming singing cowboy Gene Autry to take the lead in this ultra-successful, early science fiction serial. The screenwriter, Wallace MacDonald, claims that the entire layout of the film - including plot, character names, costumes, etc. - came to him while he was under the influence of nitrous oxide during a dental procedure. Anyone who has seen the film, which is part Western, part musical, and part low-budget sci-fi, will be hard-pressed to argue with his recollection. This attractive Belgian poster shows some edge wear, toning in the right and left borders, and a light stain in the bottom border, but is nevertheless a very attractive, and highly displayable, piece. A real beauty, this is a true gem. Rolled, Fine/Very Fine.

The Scarlet Runner (Vitagraph, 1916). One Sheet (27" X 41") Episode "The Glove and the Ring."
This 12-episode feature was less a traditional serial than a series of a dozen self-contained stand-alone stories with a common theme: racing. Matinee idol Earl Williams plays a car-crazy youth who, after being disinherited by his uncle, hits the road in his fast auto called the Scarlet Runner, and has a series of adventures. This superb stone litho poster, for the episode "The Glove and the Ring," had fold wear with holes in the image area, chipping in the top border, and a few holes toward the center of the image area, all of which has been addressed by professional restoration. Fine on Linen.

The Bondage of Barbara (Goldwyn, 1919). Rotogravure One Sheet (28.25" X 42.5").
When Tony Grey (Jack McLean) is framed for a theft from a lumber company's cash office, his sister, the angelic Barbara (Mae Marsh) takes the rap and spends a year in a reformatory. Tony is kidnapped by the real crook, and held captive; once again coming to her brother's defense, Barbara disguises herself as a boy and takes his place, freeing Tony to go to the District Attorney and set things straight. Marsh, a popular actress of the day, appeared in many of D. W. Griffith's films, including Birth of a Nation (1915) and Intolerance (1916), and continued working sporadically well into the sound era, especially after becoming one of John Ford's favorite actresses. Her filmography grew to nearly 200 films and TV appearances before she retired for good in 1964. This elegant rotogravure poster had pinholes in the corners, a tear and a small edge chip in the bottom border, some slight chipping in the image area, and edge chips in the right side, but expert professional restoration has addressed all these minor issues, returning the poster to a like-new appearance. Highly desirable and eminently displayable, this is a poster you'll be proud to own. Fine+ on Linen.

Lillian Gish (MGM, 1927). Personality Poster (22" X 28").
One of the most beloved actresses of the silent era, Lillian Gish began her screen career in 1912, after spending more than a decade on stage. Her earliest films were made for D. W. Griffith, including important roles in both Birth of a Nation (1915) and Intolerance (1916). During the 1920s, her career began to slow down, but she continued to appear in carefully chosen films throughout the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. Her last screen appearance was in the critically acclaimed The Whales of August in 1987, with Vincent Price and Bette Davis; she passed away quietly at the age of 99 on February 27, 1993. Offered here is a beautiful personality poster of this wonderful actress, issued during her time at MGM in the late 1920s. It had a bottom right corner bend, and small holes in the bottom border, but expert professional restoration has skillfully addressed these minor flaws. This will be a wonderful addition to any collection. Very Fine- on Cardstock.

John Gilbert (MGM, 1927). Personality Poster (22" X 28").
Born into a show business family, John Gilbert entered the world of movies in 1915, and quickly rose to featured status. It was his move to MGM in 1924, however, that marked a turning point in his career, when he starred in the hugely popular movie The Big Parade. Now a romantic leading man, he found himself virtually alone in that position after the death of Rudolph Valentino. His several films with the lustrous Greta Garbo - including Flesh and the Devil (1926), Love (1927), and A Woman of Affairs (1928) - further cemented his superstar status, and resulted in a torrid off-screen affair. Unfortunately, the relationship faltered, and Garbo left Gilbert on the eve of their impending marriage. That devastating loss, coupled with the imminent coming of sound, for which his voice was not suited, combined to erode Gilbert's career. Roles during the early days of the talkies were few and far between for him; Gilbert died of a heart attack in early 1936. Offered here is a stunning personality poster from the height of Gilbert's fame. It had a top left corner chip, and a hole in the top left, but expert professional restoration has thoroughly addressed these minor flaws. For any fan of the silent era, this stunning portrait of a great actor is for you. Fine/Very Fine on Cardstock.

Camille (Metro, 1921). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Alla Nazimova, the Russian born actress, stars as the courtesan Camille, in this early adaptation of Alexandre Dumas's tragic novel. She chose for her co-star a virtually unknown actor, still very early on in his rise to super stardom: Rudolph Valentino. He had just completed filming in his starmaking role in The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and was slated to start The Sheik later in the year. This lobby card has been professionally restored to address corner chips and creases, small chips in the right border, and pinholes in the top border. It has a minor chip at the bottom edge. This hand-colored lobby card features the stars in a happy idyll -- a rare and important image of two of early cinema's greatest icons. 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.

John Burroughs Screenics Educational Short (Educational, 1918). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Born in 1837, John Burroughs was an American naturalist and one of the original leaders of the conservation movement. Compared with Henry David Thoreau as one of the most important writers of nature essays, Burroughs was revered as "The Grand Old Man of Nature" by the turn of the twentieth century. His essays on his trips through the Catskill Mountains are still considered some of the best writing to focus on this intriguing area. In 1918, three years before Burroughs's death, producer C. L. Chester produced a short film about the famed writer and naturalist, which is the main subject of the attractive one sheet offered here. Prior to expert professional restoration, it had a piece missing in the bottom left border that extended into the image area, a piece missing in the bottom border, tears in all the borders, and some tearing in the image area. Now, however, it looks as good as new, a beautiful and unique piece that you'll be proud to display. Very Good on Linen.

Trying to Get Along (Paramount, 1919). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Although little is known about this classic Paramount/Mack Sennett two-reeler, we do know that it starred Charles Murray, a popular actor of the silent era, and featured popular comedian Ben Turpin, well-known for his distinctive cross-eyed appearance.

This wonderful one sheet had fold wear, crossfold separation, a small chip in the left border, a tear above the center horizontal fold that goes into the image area, and a small hole in the right side, but professional restoration has expertly addressed these small flaws, returning the poster to a like-new appearance.

Sousa and His Band (1928). Window Card (14" X 22").
Best known for his rousing, patriotic music, John Philip Sousa earned the nickname "The March King" for such timeless pieces as "Stars and Stripes Forever," "Semper Fidelis," and, of course, "The Liberty Bell March," immortalized as the theme music for Monty Python's Flying Circus. A member of the United States Marine Band, he became the conductor of that organization in 1880, a post he held until 1892. Beginning in that year, Sousa formed his own band, and embarked on yearly tours that proved extremely popular. Between 1892 and 1931, Sousa and his band logged more than 15,000 concerts, including a performance representing America at the Paris Exposition in 1900. In 1932, at the age of 77, Sousa succumbed to a heart attack, ending his long and illustrious career. Offered here is a wonderful window card, featuring a great portrait of this iconic musician. An exceedingly rare piece, it is in superb condition and will certainly make an enviable display piece for any collector. Very Fine- on Cardstock.

It Pays to Advertise (Paramount, 1931). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
When young Rodney Martin (Norman Foster) tries to prove himself to his father, wealthy soap magnate Cyrus Martin (Eugene Pallette), he starts up a rival soap company. Unfortunately, all Rodney has is a catchy slogan, a slick advertising manager ("Skeets" Gallagher), and a loyal secretary (Carole Lombard). His non-existent product quickly becomes a sensation, however, far outstripping his ability to deliver. In the end, all is well, as Rodney wins both his father's respect and the hand of his lovely secretary. As a bonus, silent film siren Louise Brooks makes an appearance in a small role. This great lobby card, featuring the four main characters, has several small dents in the center of the image area, small bends in the bottom corners, and some light foxing in the left border, but is overall extremely clean and attractive.

Smilin' Through (MGM, 1941). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style C.
Frank Borzage directs real-life wife and husband, Jeanette MacDonald and Gene Raymond, in the only picture they made together.

He now falls in love with her niece (MacDonald) and forbids her from marrying her sweetheart (Raymond), whose father is the one who killed his wife.

The poster had fold wear, a small hole on the left side in the white field, minor crossfold separations, and a small tear in Aherne's name. After expert restoration, this lovely one sheet is in ideal condition. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Follow the Sun (20th Century Fox, 1951). One Sheet (27" X 41").
A bio-drama of the true story of golf pro Ben Hogan, whose comeback after a devastating car accident was as inspirational as it was remarkable. Growing up a poor child in Texas, Hogan learns the game of golf as a caddy and eventually overcomes stereotypes and barriers to join the pro tour. Glenn Ford stars in this film, which is generally acknowledged as a whitewash of the true Hogan story, but very enjoyable nonetheless.

Seven of the cards are in near mint condition, but card #7 has a dust shadow and foxing on the bottom and right borders. Overall, Very Fine.

Barnsdale's Moving Pictures (Barnsdale, 1905). One Sheet (27" X 41").
In 1903, Walter Barnsdale of Wisconsin closed up his bicycle shop and decided to go on the road, exhibiting motion pictures to rural audiences. Armed with a generator - these were the days when many areas lacked electrical power - Barnsdale showed a variety of shorts and features, firmly establishing himself in the entertainment business (he wasn't the only member of the family to entertain the public. Walter's brother, Frank, was a circus midget who toured with Ringling Brothers dressed in a Revolutionary War costume as General Tom Thumb). Recognized as one of the pioneers of the motion picture industry, Barnsdale did as much to popularize the emerging medium of motion pictures as Edison, the Lumiere Brothers, or any of the other leading cinema exhibitors. Offered here is an extremely rare stone litho poster from early on in Barnsdale's career. In superb condition, only our strict policy of not awarding a grade higher than Very Fine+ to any poster mounted on linen keeps us from awarding an even higher grade to this exquisite gem. Very Fine+ on Linen.

Moulin Rouge (Romulus, 1952). British One Sheet (27" X 40").
José Ferrer endured some considerable hardship in bringing his performance as fabled French artiste Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec to the silver screen, including the painful strapping back of his legs to simulate the artist's short stature.

This superb British one sheet has terrific images and eye-catching colors, again in the style of the great Lautrec.
