The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse (Warner Brothers, 1938). Other Company One Sheet (27" X 41").
Dr. T.S. Clitterhouse's (Edward G. Robinson) fascination with the inner workings of the criminal mind leads him to enter the underworld himself as the leader of a gang. Hardened hood "Rocks" Valentine (Humphrey Bogart) has an eye on the top spot himself, however, and soon moves to put Clitterhouse out of the way. This "Other Company" poster has been mounted on paper and minor pinholes, tears and fold separations have been restored. There is a long crease (through Bogey's hand) made since the poster was backed. The gorgeous stone litho graphics feature Robinson, Bogart, and Claire Trevor. A beautiful poster from this 1930s crime classic. Very Fine on Paper.

The Roaring Twenties (Warner Brothers, 1939). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
A classic of the gangster genre, this exceptional picture teams James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart, two of the biggest stars on the Warner lot. Following their return from the trenches of World War I, three former comrades in arms (Cagney, Bogart, and Jeffrey Lynn) take very different paths, but end up in much the same place as Depression-era bootleggers. This was, in fact, Cagney's last gangster film for Warners; attempting to expand his image, Cagney would not return to bad guy roles until 1949's White Heat. Offered here is the best lobby card in the set, a fabulous linen-finish portrait card featuring Bogart and Cagney in full gangster regalia. It has pinholes in the image area, light edge wear in the bottom border, corner bends and bumps, light creasing in the left side, a minor crease in the top border, and a small tear in the left border. These are all minor flaws, however, and do nothing to detract from the overwhelming appeal of this highly desirable card. Fine+.

The Big Shot (Warner Brothers, 1942). Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style B.
By the time Humphrey Bogart would play his last major gangster role in The Big Shot in 1942, he had perfected his tough guy persona with roles in such classic gangster films as The Petrified Forest, San Quentin, Angels with Dirty Faces, and High Sierra. Bogart is great as three time convict Duke Berne, with twenty years of prison time under his belt. After trying to go straight, ending up back in jail after being framed, he ultimately breaks out again to meet his doom. Running into his old flame Lorna (Irene Manning), now married to mob lawyer Martin T. Fleming (Stanley Ridges) adds an interesting love twist to the plot. Filmed between The Maltese Falcon and Casablanca, at the height of Bogart's legendary career, this was easily Bogart's most exciting period as an actor. This dramatic poster had pinholes and very small edge tears in the borders, which have been addressed through some minor restoration. The poster has light corner bends in the bottom border, and the top right corner. The classic image of a gun toting Bogie, and the lovely Irene Manning makes it a great piece for this title. Rolled, Fine/Very Fine.

To Have and Have Not (Warner Brothers, 1944). Insert (14" X 36").
Based on a best-selling novel by Ernest Hemingway, stars Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall met and fell in love during the filming of this, their first film together. Several years later, following Bogie's divorce from Mayo Methot, they would be married, one of the most legendary unions in Hollywood history. The famous, "You know how to whistle, don't you?" scene does not appear in the novel; rather, it was written by director Howard Hawks as a screen test for Bacall. He liked her performance so much that he decided to work it into a later draft of the screenplay. This highly desirable insert has staple holes in the top and bottom border, a tiny stain in the top right, light fold wear, a credits snipe glued to the lower portion, and a corner bend in the lower left. None of these minor flaws detract from the overall attractiveness of this piece, especially considering the smoldering image of Bogart and Bacall. Fine/Very Fine.

The Roaring Twenties (Warner Brothers, 1939). Window Card (14" X 22").
Thompson sub-machine guns spew lead and the kegs of beer flow in this tale of prohibition and the organized crime that emerged from the Roaring Twenties.

Secret Agent (Gaumont, 1936). One Sheet (27" X 41").
In this, the second in director Alfred Hitchcock's "Spy" trilogy - including The 39 Steps and Sabotage - John Gielgud portrays British novelist Edgar Brodie who is surprised to learn that his death has been faked by a government agency. Under the assumed name of Richard Ashenden, he is then sent on a mission to kill a German agent stationed in Switzerland, accompanied by two intriguing companions: The General (Peter Lorre), a cold-blooded killer, and agent Elsa Carrington (Madeleine Carroll), who poses as his wife. When Ashenden and the General kill the wrong man, Elsa begins to question their mission, leading to a dramatic conclusion. Interestingly, this film marks a rare instance in which Hitchcock was pressured into substituting a lighter ending for the darker tone of the source material.
Made during the height of Hitchcock's pre-War British career, Secret Agent again utilizes some of the director's favorite plot devices, including those of mistaken identity and murder. The films Hitchcock made during this period would form the foundation for much of his later work, beginning in 1939 when he signed a seven-year deal with David O. Selznick and emigrated to America.
Based on the "Ashenden" stories of W. Somerset Maugham, paper from this title is so scarce as to be virtually non-existent; in nearly ten years of auctions, we have only ever offered a handful of pieces, and never a one sheet. The stone litho beauty offered here had a tear in the top left, wear with minor paper loss at the top fold, and trimmed borders, but expert professional restoration has returned this poster to its original glory. You'll want to get your bid in on this one now, as you may never have another chance to add this incredibly rare gem to your collection. Fine- on Linen.

The Woman Alone (Gaumont, 1936). One Sheet (27" X 41") Also Known As "Sabotage."
Filmed in London, Alfred Hitchcock's spy thriller is based on the Joseph Conrad novel "The Secret Agent." As the director had just recently released another film with that title, it was released in Great Britain as Sabotage and for the U.S. release was called The Woman Alone. Sylvia Sidney, in her only film for Hitchcock, plays Mrs. Verloc, who suspects her husband Karl (Oskar Homolka) of being the mastermind behind recent bombings in the city. She is fearful to try to stop him until her younger brother is killed as he unknowingly carries one of the bombs through the city - one of Hitchcock's most suspenseful scenes. The director changed Conrad's novel somewhat to play on the audiences of the time's fear of foreign spies in London. John Loder co-stars as the undercover Scotland Yard Sergeant Ted Spencer. This unique and lovely image of Sidney and the menacing shadow of Homolka rarely comes available, especially in such remarkable condition. The sheet had small edge chips in the left and right borders, minor fold wear with small chips, and a few surface abrasions in the title, from a removed snipe. These issues have been addressed by professional and well-done restoration, leaving this gem in excellent shape. 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 just extends into the image area. These minor flaws in no way distract from this beautiful piece. Fine/Very Fine.

Rebecca (United Artists, 1940). One Sheet (27" X 41").
David O. Selznick, produced this Best Picture-winning suspense classic, the first of several successful projects with master storyteller Alfred Hitchcock. Considered by many fans to be one of Hitchcock's greatest, the film is based on Daphne du Maurier's gothic novel about the ghost of the first Mrs. de Winter haunting her husband's new wife, played by Joan Fontaine, in her first major role. Fontaine plays the increasingly timid and fearful wife to perfection, and is convincingly wary of the handsome but aloof Maxim, Laurence Olivier. Judith Anderson, George Sanders, and Nigel Bruce co-star. This one sheet is perhaps the most beautiful from any Hitchcock film, and is a highly desirable item for collectors. This poster is in excellent, unrestored condition with only minor crossfold separations, and edge wear at the top. Very Fine.

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.

Dracula (Universal- Spanish Adaptation, 1931). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
One of the rarest of all lobby cards, this incredible item is the coveted "Dracula" scene card from the Spanish language adaptation of the famed Universal classic. Only two lobby cards from this film have ever turned up, and we are proud to offer this, the only one picturing Carlos Villarias in the title role. The film was made at the same time as the Tod Browning/Bela Lugosi version, but shot at night using the same sets and a Hispanic cast. This was a fairly common practice during the early talkie era as the studios had not developed the techniques for dubbing films at this time and wanted to make product for their international audience. Directed by George Melford and Enrique Tovar Ávalos, this film stars Villarias as Count Dracula, Lupita Tovar as Eva, and Eduardo Arozamena as Van Helsing. Many critics cite this as a superior film to the Lugosi version because foreign release films did not have to adhere to the strict Hays code. This very rare card has pinholes in the corners, a minor hole in the left border, minor stains in the left and right borders, and corner bends. These slight issues do not detract from the impact of this very special card. From the Kirk Hammett Collection. Fine.

White Zombie (United Artists, 1932). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Bela Lugosi, at his darkest, is Murder Legendre, shown here commanding the zombie-like Madge Bellamy, as the helpless Beaumont (Robert Frazer) looks on.

Incest, murder, torture, devil worship and perverse psychological obsessions are layered throughout this film as Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi play a game of chess to determine the fate of a young couple.

Curse of the Demon (Columbia, 1957). Six Sheet (81" X 81").
Directed by Jacques Tourneur and starring Dana Andrews, Peggy Cummins, and Niall MacGinnis, this is the gripping story of Dr. John Holden (Andrews) who intends to expose occult leader Julian Karswell (MacGinnis) as a fraud. Little does he suspect that Karswell is, indeed, connected to some very dark and malevolent powers. Although Tourneur initially intended to film the movie without showing the monster, pressure from the studio to reveal the creature, and thus increase the box office potential of the film, obligated him to change his plans. The striking six sheet offered here is in superb condition; only fold wear with some small tears, and a bit of crossfold separation keeps this beauty from an even higher grade. From the Wade Williams Collection. Very Fine.

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

The Aztec Mummy and Curse of the Aztec Mummy (Cinematográfica Calderón S.A., 1957). Mexican One Sheets (2) (26" X 37").
Although rarely considered by aficionados of the genre, the Mexican film industry has a long tradition of producing popular horror films, dating back to the release of El fantasmo del convento in 1934. Of all the creeps and ghouls on the screen - including vampires, werewolves, and robots - none were as popular with Mexican filmgoers as mummies. It comes as no surprise, therefore, that when director Rafael Portillo was casting around for a new project, that he should light upon these undead, bandage-wrapped characters. The first film, titled simply La Momia Azteca (The Aztec Mummy), blended elements of traditional horror and Mexican culture to craft a story about a young woman (Rosa Arenas) who, through hypnosis, recalls a past life as an Aztec princess, as well as the location of her burial chamber that contains a fabulous treasure. Upon reaching the chamber, the treasure hunters find more than they bargain for, both in the person of Popoca (Angel di Stefani), the titular mummy, and the unscrupulous and evil Dr. Krupp (Luis Aceves Castaneda). A sequel, La Maledicion de la Momia Azteca (Curse of the Aztec Mummy), continues the story, as Dr. Krupp continues his efforts to find the hidden Aztec treasure, this time opposed by Angel, a silver-clad superman, as well as the terrifying Popoca. The scarce country-of-origin posters offered here will make any horror collector salivate. The Aztec Mummy poster has some light edge wear and some crossfold separation, while the poster for Curse shows fold separation and some edge tears, both have archival tape on the reverse. If you appreciate the strange, the bizarre, and the unusual, bid now on these rarely seen gems! Fine/Very Fine.

The Mummy's Hand (Universal, 1940). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
The first sequel to Universal's horror classic The Mummy (1932) tells the story of amateur American archaeologists Steve Banning (Dick Foran) and Babe Jenson (Wallace Ford) in search of the lost tomb of Princess Ananka in Egypt. Filled with great Universal horror story telling, as well as plenty of comic relief, the archeologists receive financial help from eccentric magician (Cecil Kellaway) and his beautiful daughter (Peggy Moran), and set off on their desert journey. Along the way they have to contend with an evil High Priest (Eduardo Ciannelli), a crooked professor (George Zucco), and of course, the deadly living mummy, Kharis (Tom Tyler), who had been entombed alive as punishment for falling in love with Princess Ananka thousands of years earlier. Kharis will stop at nothing to keep his beloved's tomb from being disturbed. This extremely rare, highly desirable title card had a pinhole in the center, scuffing in the title, and a tear in the right border, as well as 1/4" trimmed borders that were replaced. With these issues having been expertly addressed through professional restoration, this stunning card, which features dramatic artwork of the Mummy, is an absolute treasure. Very Good/Fine on Paper.

This extremely rare, highly desirable title card had a pinhole in the center, scuffing in the title, and a tear in the right border, as well as 1/4" trimmed borders that were replaced. With these issues having been expertly addressed through professional restoration, this stunning card, which features dramatic artwork of the Mummy, is an absolute treasure. Very Good/Fine on Paper.

The Mummy (Universal, 1932). Herald (6" X 9" unfolded).
A relative unknown before his star-making turn in 1931's Frankenstein, by the time Boris Karloff made this, his second monster picture, he was already being billed exclusively by his surname. A haunting picture, this film took advantage of the Egyptology craze that swept America during the 1920s and early 1930s, providing an appropriately spooky and mysterious backdrop for this chilling classic. It helped to cement Universal's popular horror franchise as one of the most successful series of films in movie history. Offered here is an exceedingly rare, sarcophagus-shaped herald for this immortal film, featuring wonderful shots of all the cast members, including Karloff in full Mummy regalia. Save for a pinhole in the bottom left, and two small stains on the back panel, this highly desirable piece is in outstanding condition, worthy of a place in the finest collection. Very Fine.

The Mummy (Realart, R-1951). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
In its earliest form, this movie was to be based on the life of Cagliostro, an eighteenth century occultist - and, according to some, forger, thief, swindler, and charlatan - who eventually ran afoul of the Inquisition. Due to the overwhelming interest in Egyptology at the time - sparked, in the previous decade, by the discovery of King Tut's Tomb - it was decided to change the setting from France to Egypt, and to make the main character a resurrected mummy rather than an alchemist. The result was star Boris Karloff's second great creation, ably aided by Jack Pierce's fabulous make-up. The re-issue lobby card offered here features a chilling portrait of Karloff as Imhotep, it has very light bends in the top left and right corners, and a small stain in the top border, but is otherwise in superb condition. Very Fine+.

The Bride of Frankenstein (Universal, 1935). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
James Whale's sequel to his 1931 masterpiece Frankenstein quickly became a classic in its own right, surpassing the original in many ways. Boris Karloff and Colin Clive return as the monster and his maker, and Ernest Thesiger is pure genius as the mad Dr. Pretorius. Frankenstein is torn between his new bride Elizabeth (Valerie Hobson) and his desire to continue his gruesome experiments with Pretorius. When Frankenstein is blackmailed into creating another monster, The Bride is born, played beautifully by Elsa Lanchester who also stars in a dual role as the narrator Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. The superb makeup by Jack Pierce, gothic sets, and powerful performances by the stars, make this a flawless masterpiece. And evidenced by recent Heritage auctions, this is one of the top titles for movie poster connoisseurs. Rare indeed is all paper for this picture and especially so with lobby cards featuring the monster in close-up. This card has pinholes in the borders, a few light scratches in the image, two small surface abrasions, a few faint stains, a minor pen mark in the bottom border, and a faint horizontal crease. With its remarkable color and unique border art, and portrait of Karloff, this is one highly desirable item for all Universal horror fans. From the Kirk Hammett Collection. Fine+.

The Bride of Frankenstein (Universal, 1935). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Here she is, alive, and in full glorious color, the queen of all horror films -- the Bride of Frankenstein. Elsa Lanchester plays the lovely lady, created as a companion for Frankenstein's monster (Boris Karloff). This masterful horror gem was directed by James Whale, whose recent successes with Frankenstein and The Old Dark House put him at the top of the genre. Exceptionally rare, cards from this title are highly valued, and this one is quite special with Lanchester flanked by her doctor creators Pretorius and Frankenstein (Ernest Thesiger and Colin Clive) and stunning border artwork. It has been professionally restored to address the minor issue of pinholes in the borders and title area. A remarkable find for the true cinema enthusiast! Fine/Very Fine.

Frankenstein (Universal, 1931). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
One of the greatest horror films ever made, this picture made an overnight sensation of Boris Karloff, the man underneath the monster makeup. Loosely based on the classic novel by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelly, the picture is a Gothic/Art Deco triumph, which, along with Dracula (1931), inaugurated the Golden Age of Universal Horror. One of the most significant films of the 1930s, paper from this title is very rare and highly sought after among advanced collectors. Records are often set when original release paper from this important film is offered, and we expect that will be the case with this exquisite lobby card featuring Edward van Sloan, Dwight Frye, Colin Clive, and Karloff himself. In remarkable condition, only a light dust shadow in the left border, and some light smudging and a small corner bend in the bottom left, keep this glorious card from an even higher grade. Although cards for this film do occasionally surface, rarely are they offered to the collecting public in such exceptional, unrestored condition. Very Fine+.

Frankenstein (Universal, R-1938). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Few movies have had the impact on Hollywood history as this adaptation of the immortal novel by Mary Shelley. A massive hit upon its initial release, the film was reissued several times due to high consumer demand. The gorgeous lobby card offered here, from the first re-release, features not only star Boris Karloff in his iconic monster make-up, but also Colin Clive as Dr. Frankenstein and Edward van Sloan as Dr. Waldman. Early paper from this landmark title is not only scarce, but in high demand among collectors; this particular example had pinholes in the corners and image area, small tears in the corners, and bends in the bottom left and right corners. After expert professional restoration, however, this card looks like a million bucks, and will no doubt be an important addition to any collection. Fine.

Frankenstein (Universal, 1931). Herald (16.5" X 10.5").
Universal Studios rocked the world in late 1931 with the release of this outstanding picture, the bookend to their release of Dracula earlier that same year. With these two chilling classics, the Golden Age of Universal Horror was born, resulting in some of the greatest pictures ever brought to the silver screen. It should come as no surprise, then, that paper from these films is eagerly sought by collectors. The beautiful herald offered here is a great opportunity to acquire a piece of original paper from this iconic film - featuring a great image of Boris Karloff as the Monster. This exquisite piece has been folded once vertically and once horizontally, and shows a small fold split, but is otherwise in exceptional condition. Fine/Very Fine.

The Ghoul (Gaumont, 1933). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Once believed a "lost" film, this spooky gem was Boris Karloff's first horror feature in his native England. Convinced that a mystic jewel will resurrect him from the great beyond, Egyptologist Dr. Morant (Karloff) demands to be buried with the artifact. When his wishes are not followed -- because the jewel has vanished, seemingly from the face of the earth -- strange things begin to happen. Offered here is a very rare one sheet for this title, with ghoulish green the predominant tone. For some time there has been controversy within the hobby as to whether this poster was from the original 1933 release of the film or a later reissue. After much study and consideration, we believe it is indeed from the first release as Gaumont, the distributor, signed on with Fox Studios in 1935 to distribute domestically and all of those posters are marked with Fox in the lower border (see Hitchcock's A Woman Alone and Transatlantic Tunnel one sheets in catalog). We believe that if this was a reissue one sheet of the film from the later 1930s there would have been mention in the border of the Fox connection. Condition issues included fold wear with slight paper loss, tears in the image, small chips in the borders (including one post-restoration), and a hole in the title area, all of which has been addressed with professional restoration. Good/Very Good on Linen.

The Black Room (Columbia, 1935). Lobby Card (11" X 14").

In an ancient family curse, one brother is fated to die by the sword of the other brother in the Black Room. Anton takes over rule of their estate and becomes a hated and murderous despot, who falls for the fair Thea, played by the ethereal Marian Marsh. When the good Gregor returns after a long absence, the brothers' fates are sealed. This fantastic card has been professionally restored to address a small hole and tear at the top border, pinholes in the corners and two in the image, a small chip in the right edge, and scuffs in the image. A favorite title for all horror fans, lobby cards are difficult to find and this is a rare example featuring the legendary star in ghoulish pose. From the Kirk Hammett Collection. Fine.

The Body Snatcher (RKO, 1945). One Sheet (27" X 41").
This one has it all! Legendary horror producer Val Lewton brought in director Robert Wise (The Day the Earth Stood Still) to adapt Robert Louis Stevenson's story for the screen. He then cast the two greatest horror stars of the cinema, Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi, to add a chilling atmosphere to the production.

Prior to restoration, there were pinholes in the corners and small chips in the top corners as well as slight fold wear with minor separations.

The Devil Commands (Columbia, 1941). One Sheet (27" X 41").
In 1939, seeing the Universal horror film coming to life again, Columbia quickly jumped on the band wagon and signed Boris Karloff to star in a series of vehicles to be produced by their B-unit and made for a very modest sum. These films have become known to horror fans as the "Mad Doctor" series. The fourth film in the series, The Devil Commands, was directed by Edward Dmytryk, and for most Karloff fans is the favorite of the Columbia series. Offered in this lot is the first one sheet we have ever offered from this film and thus we believe it to be pretty rare. This is a beautiful condition, unrestored copy with only the most minor fold separation at the borders. Very Fine/Near Mint..

The Raven (Realart, R-1948). Insert (14" X 36").
For fans of classic horror, it rarely gets better than this -- a Universal film based on an Edgar Allen Poe story, with two of the giants of cinema, Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff starring. Lugosi is truly diabolical as Dr. Richard Vollin, a fan of Poe's torture devices, which he has built for his own use. The opportunity arises when Vollin invites the lovely Jean Thatcher (Irene Ware), her fiance, and her father to stay at his estate. He plots revenge when she spurns his advances. Meanwhile, Karloff, as prison escapee Edmond Bateman, arrives to get plastic surgery from Vollin, which goes horribly wrong. This fantastic reissue poster had fold wear, extra creases, a tear in the bottom border, and light scuffs in the bottom corners. It has had professional restoration, and now displays extremely well, with nothing to distract from the intense, glowing horror of Lugosi and Karloff. Fine+ on Paper.

An American Werewolf in London (Universal, 1981). International One Sheet (25" X 39.5").
1981 was the year of the werewolf, with Joe Dante's quirky, low-budget The Howling hitting theaters four months before John Landis' satirical classic An American Werewolf in London. Both featured innovative transformation effects pioneered by Rick Baker, but The Howling -- utilizing Baker protege Rob Bottin on his first solo job -- was rushed out first to capitalize on them, stealing a bit of Baker's thunder. But many would cite AWIL as the superior film, and it has certainly stood the test of time. Offered here is the extremely rare International version featuring stark, distinctive artwork seen on no other paper for this title. Virtually pristine, we will cite light fold wear as the only condition issue of note. Near Mint.

Both featured innovative transformation effects pioneered by Rick Baker, but The Howling -- utilizing Baker protege Rob Bottin on his first solo job -- was rushed out first to capitalize on them, stealing a bit of Baker's thunder. But many would cite AWIL as the superior film, and it has certainly stood the test of time. Offered here is the extremely rare International version featuring stark, distinctive artwork seen on no other paper for this title. Virtually pristine, we will cite light fold wear as the only condition issue of note. Near Mint.

This second screen version of Victor Hugo's classic novel stars Charles Laughton as the tortured soul, Quasimodo.

The Greed of William Hart (Ambassador Pictures, 1948). British Double Crown (20" X 30").
One of Great Britain's top horror stars, Todd Slaughter (his real name) began his career on the stage. Although he initially appeared as the handsome leading man in conventional dramas, he soon discovered the public's appetite for his revivals of classic "blood and thunder" plays like Maria Marten, Sweeney Todd, and The Silver King. It was in 1931, however, that Slaughter discovered his knack for playing villains, appearing as both Long John Silver in Treasure Island during the day, and William Hare in The Crimes of Burke and Hare, based on the crimes of the famed resurrectionists, at night, with a memorable run as The Demon Barber of Fleet Street shortly thereafter, a role he reprised in his second film, Sweeney Todd, in 1936. Following World War II - and its ban on the production of horror films - Slaughter took up the role of William Burke for The Greed of William Hart (1948). Even though Burke and Hare's names are prominently listed on the poster, British censors decided that hearing those names would be too much for the fragile psyche of the British public, and ordered producers to loop in the name "Hart" for Burke and "Moore" for Hare by literally cutting the re-recorded dialogue into the audio track. The process was so expensive that the film lacked any additional budget for music. Offered here is what is believed to be the only known copy of this poster, featuring great images of Slaughter and co-star Henry Oscar. It has some edge wear, and some very slight cross fold separation, but is otherwise extremely clean and attractive. If you've been looking for that next "great piece" to enhance you horror collection, that piece that will really make other collectors sit up and take notice with envy, look no further. This poster is sure to be your "Hart's" desire! Very Fine+.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Paramount, 1931). Pre-War Australian Daybill (15" X 36").
In a brilliant adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's immortal novel, Fredric March vividly brings to life both the dedicated scientist Dr. Henry Jekyll, and his monstrous alter-ego Mr. Edward Hyde. Although March had primarily been known for lightweight romantic roles prior to this picture, he immersed himself in the role and turned in an inspired performance, one so remarkable that he won a Best Actor Academy Award for his efforts. The gorgeous pre-war Australian daybill offered here is in excellent condition. It had pinholes in the upper left and in the bottom border, as well as a light smudge in the bottom right, but those minor flaws have been corrected via expert professional restoration, leaving this piece looking every bit as good as new. The top imprint area has been trimmed. Like other horror films from this era, paper from this picture is rare and highly desirable. We urge you to give this one your highest consideration. Very Fine on Linen.

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (Universal International, 1948). Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style B.
In 1948, two of Universal's big breadwinners -- the monster series and comedy duo Bud Abbott and Lou Costello -- could not halt a box-office and critical slump. But Universal decided to combine these disparate parts, and the "Abbott and Costello Meet the Monsters" franchise was born. Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney, Jr. and Glenn Strange all signed on to reprise their famous horror roles, and even Boris Karloff did publicity for the film. The film became the studio's second-highest grosser of the year and endures as a beloved fan favorite. This wonderful half sheet had a scratch in the top right corner and wrinkling and creasing in the image. While the poster has undergone restoration, there is still minor staining in the borders as well as tiny corner bumps. Fine/Very Fine on Paper.

A perfect set-up for the comedy duo, they are joined by a couple of crooked lawyers, and stranded bus passengers --Evelyn Ankers, Richard Carlson, and a professional screamer played by Joan Davis (a must for any haunted house tale).

Night of the Living Dead (Continental, 1968). One Sheet (27" X 41").

At a cemetery to lay a wreath on their mother's grave, siblings Johnny (Russ Streiner) and Barbara (Judith O'Dea) discover that the dead have begun to walk -- and eat. Clammy, claustrophobic, and nihilistic, audiences of the day were shocked, and a legend was born. Marking the event is this terrific one sheet, with unforgettable imagery from the movie. Fold wear was the only condition problem, and this has been smoothed over by excellent professional restoration. Very Fine on Linen.

This charming, colorful country-of-origin poster has pinholes in the corners and in the field, some enlarged, and a small tear in the top border, but is otherwise in superb condition. Don't pass up this chance to acquire a very scarce piece of British film history! Fine/Very Fine.

The Big City (MGM, 1928). Window Card (14" X 22").
Horror star Lon Chaney made ten films with director Tod Browning, all successful and truly memorable, including this early crime drama set in New York. Chaney stars as mob boss Chuck Collins, who steals a load of jewels from a rival gang led by Curly (James Murray) but is talked into going straight by the appropriately named Sunshine, played by Marceline Day, who had previously starred with Chaney in London After Midnight. Betty Compson is superb as Collins's moll, Helen. Offered here for the first time is a striking window card with wonderful renderings of the cast of characters. It has been professionally restored to address creases throughout, and small tears and holes in the field. There is a minor nick in the top imprint area that occurred after restoration. This is a sensational and rare poster from one of Chaney's best films. Fine+ on Cardstock.

London After Midnight (MGM, 1927). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
The last extant print of this film burned in an MGM warehouse fire in the late 1960s so the quest goes on to find a print of this film regarded by many as one of Lon Chaney Sr's greatest roles, a dual role at that. Written by director Tod Browning and later remade as Mark of the Vampire, this is the only scene card from the elusive set to feature Chaney in the vampire make-up. We have never offered another copy of this card and it may very well be a long time before you see another! The card had some wear to the borders and there was a tear in the right border which just barely extended into the photo image. The interior of this card is in excellent condition and after professional restoration, the card appears near mint. From the Kirk Hammett Collection. Fine+.

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (Goldwyn, 1920). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Robert Wiene directs this brilliant German Expressionist classic which is one of the most influential films of all cinema. The story revolves around the darkly mysterious Dr. Caligari, played by Werner Krauss, who arrives in a small village with his mentalist show featuring somnambulist, or sleepwalker, Cesare (Conrad Veidt in heavy gothic make-up). Their arrival coincides with several murders, and one villager, Francis (Friedrich Feher), sets out to investigate and to save his love, Jane (Lil Dagover), from death. What sets this film apart is the fantastic visual setting; a surreal world of oddly shaped buildings and streets created for the characters to move through which twists and turns along with the very original and surprising story line. The visionary creation of Wiene and designers Hermann Warm, Walter Reim, and Walter Rohrig, has influenced numerous film noir and horror directors through the last ninety years. Cards from this film are nearly impossible to come across, especially in such remarkable condition as this beauty, which shows only a dust shadow along the edges and one corner crease. This is a true, once-in-a-lifetime piece. From the Kirk Hammett Collection. Very Fine+.

King Kong (RKO, 1933). Swedish Oversized (25.5" X 47").
Considered by most as one of the greatest horror/fantasy films ever made, King Kong was certainly one of the most innovative. The stop motion animation created by Willis O'Brien to be intercut with live actors set the standard that eventually led to the high tech CGI animation of today. But the classic story of "Beauty and the Beast" is another reason it is still held in such high esteem. Starring Fay Wray as Ann Darrow, Robert Armstrong as Carl Denham, and Bruce Cabot as Jack Driscoll, the non-stop action, set on a remote jungle island and among the skyscrapers of New York City, with dinosaurs, a giant ape, and angry natives, thrilled audiences upon its initial release in 1933, and still continues to entertain today. This rare oversized Swedish poster, reminiscent of the U.S. three sheet with its striking image of Kong atop the Empire State Building, displays brilliant color. There are pinholes in the corners and several in the image, a chip in the lower right corner, one tear into the field on the left border, with two smaller tears on the top and bottom borders. Don't miss this great opportunity to acquire this fantastic poster! From the Kirk Hammett Collection. Very Fine.

King Kong (RKO, 1933). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Billed as "The Eighth Wonder of the World," the giant ape known as King Kong certainly did not disappoint! Ripped from his jungle homeland and brought to America by showman Carl Denham (Robert Armstrong), Kong's love for the beautiful Ann Darrow (Fay Wray) would eventually prove his undoing. Through the magic of stop-motion animation, Willis O'Brien brought Kong to life, making him just as real as any of his human co-stars. The result is a picture that is as thrilling and entertaining today as it was at the depths of the Great Depression. It's not surprising, then, that paper from this film is avidly sought after by collectors, who eagerly snatch up each piece that is brought to market. This exquisite lobby card, showing Wray and Bruce Cabot embracing atop the Empire State Building in the penultimate scene of this great movie, is in superb condition. Only some creasing in the bottom border and some light staining in the left and right borders keeps it from an even higher grade. Very Fine.

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. Fine+.

Marilyn Monroe Newstand Poster (Life Magazine, 1952). Poster (26.5" X 34").
The April 7, 1952 issue of Life magazine featured Marilyn Monroe's first cover appearance, which was advertised with this promotional poster used at newstands across the country. This break-through appearance for Hollywood's 25-year-old Golden Girl was a harbinger of things to come for Monroe, who truly became a major star the following year. This is certainly one of the rarest Monroe collectible and we have only offered one other copy. The poster had some small bit of trimming all around the edges. The poster has been expertly restored back to its original size and had some bit of color enhancement to the reds. Very Good on Linen.

Monkey Business (20th Century Fox, 1952). Autographed One Sheet (27" X 41").
Howard Hawks directed this screwball comedy which stars Cary Grant as Dr. Barnaby Fulton who experiments with developing a fountain-of-youth elixir. When one of his lab monkeys mixes up a concoction that really does have youthful properties, Fulton accidentally takes a dose, and feels like a kid again -- one who is interested in his boss's secretary, Marilyn Monroe. Ginger Rogers plays Fulton's wife who also drinks the mix, with similar hilarious results. A gorgeous poster, it shows only pinholes in the corners, and an extra horizontal fold at the bottom. It is signed by stars Cary Grant and Ginger Rogers.

As many are aware, Cary Grant's signature was almost impossible to obtain unless you knew him or someone who knew him! Very Fine+.
Howard Hawks directed this screwball comedy which stars Cary Grant as Dr. Barnaby Fulton who experiments with developing a fountain-of-youth elixir. When one of his lab monkeys mixes up a concoction that really does have youthful properties, Fulton accidentally takes a dose, and feels like a kid again -- one who is interested in his boss's secretary, Marilyn Monroe. Ginger Rogers plays Fulton's wife who also drinks the mix, with similar hilarious results. A gorgeous poster, it shows only pinholes in the corners, and an extra horizontal fold at the bottom. It is signed by stars Cary Grant and Ginger Rogers.

Set in 1929, this is one wild and hilarious ride from genius director Billy Wilder.

Curtis has a third role as "Junior," a Cary Grant-esque phony millionaire trying to woo the ever-impressionable Sugar Kane Kowalczyk, played beautifully by Marilyn Monroe.

Niagara (20th Century Fox, R-1960). Italian 2 - Folio (39" X 55").
Marilyn Monroe stars in this moody film noir about a newlywed who plans to murder her husband while honeymooning at Niagara Falls.

With its beautiful image of Monroe with art by Mauro Innocenti, this is a real gem! Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Sabrina (Paramount, 1967). Polish A1 (23" X 33).
The choice of artist for this classic film was excellent. Maciej Zibikowski was skilled in both animation and satirical cartoon formats so it's no wonder how well his art succeeds in this capricious image of Audrey Hepburn in a chef hat and apron skewering two hearts at once, in a grand symbolic statement of the film's plot. This is the rare poster for the first release in Poland in 1967. There is only slight edge wear with a small tear in the bottom border. Rolled, Near Mint.

Breakfast At Tiffany's (Paramount, 1961). Advance Japanese B2 (20" X 29").
A signature role for Audrey Hepburn, the part was originally offered to Marilyn Monroe (who novelist Truman Capote claimed he had envisioned when writing the character), but Monroe eventually passed, and the rest is history.

Breakfast At Tiffany's (Paramount, 1961). Insert (14" X 36").
It's hard to imagine anyone but Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly. But if writer Truman Capote would have had his way, the role would have gone to his good friend Marilyn Monroe. By 1961, Monroe had developed an infamous reputation for being difficult on the set and director Blake Edwards was not willing to accommodate the star's whims. Instead, the part went to Hepburn, a move that elevated her to iconic status. Paper from this masterful film is highly sought after, especially in this unrestored condition. There are a few faint and tiny stains in the top quarter of the image but the rest of the poster is virtually flawless! Rolled, Very Fine/Near Mint.

Rain (Atlantic, R-1938). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
Based on W. Somerset Maugham's novel Miss Sadie Thompson, this engrossing drama stars Joan Crawford as a streetwalker who ends up on Pago Pago in the South Pacific, and attracts the attention of virtually every man in the area, including a naive sergeant (William Gargan) and a pious preacher (Walter Huston). This superb stone litho three sheet, from the first reissue of this classic film in 1938, features some of the best artwork ever done of one of the Silver Screen's most famous actresses and is far superior to the original artwork campaign for the film.

We are not aware of another copy of this fabulous poster, so get it while you can! Very Fine+ on Linen.

As the titular heroine of this lavish adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's classic novel, Greta Garbo, seen here with Freddie Batholomew, is absolutely luminous. Tolstoy's novel had proved a fertile inspiration for filmmakers; by 1935, the story had been filmed at least six times, but this version is widely considered to be the best, mostly because of the strong performances by Garbo as Anna and Fredric March as Count Vronsky. Faint creases in the bottom corners are the only condition issues to note. Near Mint.

What Price Glory (Fox, 1926). Lobby Card Set of 8 (11" X 14").
Directed by Raoul Walsh and based on the hit 1924 stage play by Lawrence Stallings and Maxwell Anderson, this harrowing WWI drama stars Edmund Lowe and Victor McLaglen as rival Marines on the front lines in France. Their competition extends to the romancing of the daughter (Dolores Del Rio) of a local innkeeper. The film caused quite a stir on its original release when lipreaders realized that Lowe and McLaglen were exchanging some rather extreme profanities which were not included in the intertitles. The title lobby card is missing a piece in the top border and lower left corner, as well as border pinholes, creasing, and a 1" tear in the bottom border. Various other single cards have pinholes, smudging, and chips. Fine-.

Wings (Paramount, 1927). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Billed as "An Epic of the Air," this stunning film, starring Clara Bow, Buddy Rogers, and Richard Arlen - who are all pictured on this card - was honored with the very first Best Picture Academy Award in 1929 (then referred to as the "Best Production" award). It is also notable for a brief but memorable appearance by a young Gary Cooper. Arlen had been a fighter pilot in World War I, and Rogers learned to fly during the course of the picture, as filming closeup scenes required the actors, during the flying scenes, to not only fly the planes, but operate the motorized cameras, act, and land safely as well. The result is an amazing film, as thrilling today as it was when it was previewed in San Antonio in 1927. The linen finish card offered here is in superb condition, virtually as clean and fresh as the day it was issued. If you've been looking for a great piece from this film, look no further! Near Mint.

The Seven Samurai (Toho, 1954). Japanese B2 (20" X 29").
Akira Kurosawa's epic masterpiece is set in 16th century Japan and stars the incomparable Toshiro Mifune and Takashi Shimura, who each appeared in dozens of the director's successful pictures. When a small village is attacked by bandits, residents hire seven wandering samurai warriors. The film is incredibly well structured, with the first half focusing on the villagers relationship with the samurai and the building tension of the preparations for battle and the latter half devoted to the actual fighting. Ultimately a bittersweet tale of the price of war and the loss of noble warriors, this is one of the most influential films in cinema history and was Japan's highest grossing movie to date. Most notably, John Sturges remade the film as a Western, and another classic was born, The Magnificent Seven. Country-of-origin posters for Kurasawa films rarely turn up, but when they do they are always highly appreciated by his legions of fans. In extremely nice condition, this gem shows minimal wear at the left with minor chips, one small tear in the sky, and small edge tears. This is truly a superior poster for this monumental film.

Beauty and the Beast (DisCina, R-1951). French Grande (47" X 63").
One of the most beautiful and poetic fantasy films ever made, this is undoubtedly director Jean Cocteau's masterpiece. The story is a simple one: Belle, a beautiful young girl (Josette Day), sacrifices herself to a hideous beast (Jean Marais) to save her father's life. The beast, however, turns out to have an all-too human soul. Due to post-war shortages, Cocteau was forced to use several different types of film stock during the making of this picture. Later, he commented that the differing visual textures added to the atmospheric effect. Offered here is an extremely rare country-of-origin grande from an early re-release of this classic film. It shows some water staining (that occurred after linen backing) and edge wear, and an area of paper separating from the linen, all on the right side. These flaws are barely noticeable, however, and do absolutely nothing to detract from this amazing piece. A stunning find, you'll certainly want to add this rare gem to your permanent collection.

A true classic, this film is beloved by a legion of fans. Very Fine- on Linen.

This wonderful Jacques Becker French crime drama was based on the true-life Leca-Manda scandal, wherein an otherwise decent man was guillotined for shooting down a gangster boss in broad daylight.

Yellow Submarine (United Artists, 1968). Lobby Card Set of 8 (11" X 14").
In order to save the people of Pepperland, the Beatles (John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr) set off on a quest to vanquish the Blue Meanies, aided by Captain Fred and Jeremy, the Nowhere Man. The Beatles were initially uninterested in this project - they had famously disliked the previous cartoon version of their adventures that aired on TV from 1965 to 1968 - and agreed to it only to complete their movie contract. When they saw the final cut, however, they were so taken with the film that they agreed to film a live action coda. Offered here is a truly stunning set of lobby cards in nigh-immaculate condition. Where it not for a small crease in the left side of one card, this set would have received an even higher grade. Near Mint+.

Films by John Lennon and Yoko Ono (Joko, 1972). One Sheet (27" X 39").

Giant (Warner Brothers, 1956). Poster (40" X 60") Style Z.
Edna Ferber's wildly popular, epic saga of the Benedict family and their vast Reata ranch is brought to the big screen in larger than life fashion by legendary director George Stevens, who so memorably contrasts the big moments with many touching personal scenes.

Giant (Warner Brothers, 1956). British Quad (30" X 40").
This sprawling drama was the last film to feature iconic star James Dean. Just as his part of the shooting was coming to an end, Dean lost his life in a tragic auto accident while driving his Porsche 550 Spyder to a sports car race in Salinas, California. In fact, his voice during Jett Rink's final, drunken speech had to be re-recorded by Dean's close friend Nick Adams, as Dean had mumbled too much for the scene to be intelligible. As one of the few feature films Dean made during his short but impressive career, paper from Giant is always in high demand. This particular poster has pinholes in the corners, edge wear, some transfer staining in the left side, light foldwear and crossfold separations, and a small chip in the bottom vertical fold, but is, overall, extremely attractive and desirable. Fine/Very Fine.

Ocean's 11 (Warner Brothers, 1960). One Sheet (27" X 41").
When Danny Ocean (Frank Sinatra) comes up with a plan to knock over several of Las Vegas's biggest casinos at the same time, he enlists his ten closest friends - including Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford, Joey Bishop, and Dean Martin - to help him. Most of the filming took place early in the morning, as virtually all the stars were headlining in Vegas shows during the evening. They'd sleep through the afternoon, get up and do their show, then report to makeup and wardrobe before sunrise! The finished film was more a Rat Pack buddy picture than a heist film, as all the main actors were close friends, and ad-libbed the majority of their dialogue. Fortunately, in this case what happened in Vegas definitely did not stay in Vegas! This highly desirable poster has pinholes in the borders, edge wear with small tears, pinpoint crossfold separation, a hole at the top, and a top and bottom right corner crease, but presents very nicely, and will make a great addition to your collection. Fine+.

Harlem Rides the Range was one of his more successful outings. The film was written by Spencer Williams, who also played the villain in the film. He is most remembered as one of the title characters in the equally pioneering and also controversial 1950s sitcom The Amos 'n Andy Show (1951). This one sheet for the film has pinholes in the corners, wear at the edges and some staining in the image. The folds show signs of wear including separations with chips in the top and bottom left corners. Very Good.
Murder on Lenox Avenue (Sack Amusement Enterprises, 1941). One Sheet (27" X 41").
This all-Black cast thriller centers on the nefarious goings on at a Harlem Apartment building. Pa Wilkins (Gus Smith) is placed in charge of the complex after it is run into the ground by a slum lord (Augustus Smith). But when the facility is targeted for revenge by its former manager, the tenants become unfortunate victims of his deadly game. The film stars Mamie Smith, already a well-known blues singer, who performs in the film. There is smudging and slight staining within the image, wear at the edges and pinholes in the corners. There are separations and some chips at the fold lines and left corners. Still, a very scarce and desirable piece of Black Americana. Very Good.

Gang Smashers (Million Dollar Distributing Co., 1938). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Nina Mae McKinney was known in Europe as the Black Garbo. Her beauty and talent got her cast in the MGM/ King Vidor musical, Hallelujah, released in 1929. She signed a five year contract with MGM and was cast in only two films one of which she never appeared in but supplied the signing voice for Jean Harlow. However her starring role in Hallelujah gave Nina Mae McKinney the opportunity to appear in a number of all-Black cast films, including Sanders of the River, Dark Waters and this, considered one of her best. It is a depression era story about an undercover police woman who poses as a nightclub entertainer to catch the main man behind the racketeers going on around Harlem. This lovely condition one sheet has just minor edge wear. The linen has been trimmed to the edge of the poster. This is a rare and lovely poster from the days of a separate cinema. Very Fine- on Linen.

Super Sleuths/Behind the Pros Combo (Toddy Pictures, 1930s). One Sheet (27" X 41").
F.E. "Flourney" Miller made a name for himself as a successful Vaudeville comedian. After a handful of uncredited film roles, Miller caught a break by being cast as a sidekick in the popular all-Black Westerns starring Herb Jeffrey. Here, he gets top billing as part of a Toddy Films double feature. The other half of the bill is a film called Behind the Pros featuring the singing quartet The Jones Boys who also performed in 1937's Hollywood Party with Clark Gable and Anna Mae Wong. This restored one sheet had a small tear near the top of the image and minor fold chips. However, a crease in the bottom left corner was not repaired. Still, this remains an important artifact from a long gone era in filmmaking. Fine+ on Linen.

New Movietone Follies of 1930 (Fox, 1930). Window Card (14" X 22").

The Big Broadcast of 1936 (Paramount, 1935). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Although this highly entertaining ensemble film featured several notable African American performers such as Bill Robinson, Dorothy Dandridge, and the Nicholas Brothers, Fayard and Harold, times were such that the studio saw no controversy in including radio stars Amos 'n Andy, who are white actors playing black characters. Showcased here, in their typical black face, are Freeman Fosden and Charles Correll, who had been performing their radio routine for nearly eight years, and had an earlier film success with RKO's Check and Double Check. The card has a small British censor stamp in the lower left, a snipe over the director credit, and a "Norman Taurog" director credit stamp. Seen today the characters reinforce negative racial stereotypes, but in the 1930s the comedy act was one of the most popular, making this portrait card an important slice of a controversial cinematic history.

What can one say about The Wizard of Oz that hasn't already been said? That it's one of the greatest films ever made, an instant classic upon its release in 1939? That it boasts a stellar cast and a bevy of great songs? That it has proven to be a favorite of generation after generation for more than seven decades? Of course, all of this and more is true. It's no surprise, then, that collectors clamor to possess paper from this time-honored gem, fiercely competing every time and original poster or card is offered. This beautiful midget window card - which pictures Jack Haley, Ray Bolger, Judy Garland, Bert Lahr, and Frank Morgan - should be no exception. It shows a pinhole in the bottom right corner, a chip and a crease in the bottom right, and a small chip in the bottom border. Additionally, the top imprint area, about 3", has been replaced, and about 1/16th of an inch of the right border has been trimmed. After professional restoration, however, this card looks like a million bucks. Bid on this one, as you never know when another might come to light. Very Good+ on Paper.

Offered here are five of the six posters created by Pop Art legend Peter Max for the Clint Eastwood musical.

Session 2
A Sainted Devil (Paramount, 1924). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style A.
The original "Latin Lover" Rudolph Valentino is one of the silent era's most magnetic stars, whose devilish good looks and mysterious eyes still captivate audiences even after eight decades. Valentino's popularity reached its zenith in the mid 1920s, and when the 31-year-old actor unexpectedly died in the summer of 1926, it set off a wave of hysteria among his many women admirers. Nearly 80,000 people, mostly women, crowded into Campbell's Funeral Parlor in New York to catch a glimpse of his body. This film, based on a book by Rex Beach called "Rope's End" and made at the height of Valentino's popularity, is believed lost. Set in South America, Valentino plays Don Alonzo Castro, a wealthy young set to be wed, whose fiance' is kidnapped when his house is robbed on the night of his wedding. This is a wonderful and rare stone litho one sheet which, prior to professional restoration, had some chipping and wear to the border, and a piece of the image chipped from the vertical foldline from the bottom border up to the first horizontal fold next to the boot with spur. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

The Birth of a Nation (David W. Griffith Corp., 1915). Window Card (13.75" X 21").
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. 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. 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 and aggressive members of society, out to corrupt elections, paving the way for "justified" retaliation by the KKK. The mind-set of the director and film unfortunately reflect the prevailing White attitudes of the day, but Griffith was not deaf to the many protests, and, partly as a response to criticism, soon began work on his next high-budget epic: Intolerance. This exceedingly rare window card had edge wear with small tears which have been addressed through restoration, a light stain in the top border, a rounded corner in the bottom right corner, and small crease on the the right border. Fine- on Cardstock.

The Devil Stone (Artcraft, 1917). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Geraldine Farrar was one of the most famous opera stars of the early twentieth century and her young women fans were nicknamed "Gerry-flappers." Cecil B. DeMille summoned her to Hollywood where she starred in a number of films for the director in between opera seasons. In this, her sixth and last film for DeMille, she plays a modern fishermaid who finds a cursed emerald that belonged to a Norse queen. The matinee idol Wallace Reid stars as the love interest who saves Farrar in the final reel. This film is believed lost other than a few reels found in the Library of Congress. The lovely poster had a number of tears throughout and two pieces missing, none in essential areas. One piece was in Farrar's waist and one on the table top and extending upward into her dress. The restoration work is flawless and the poster appears in wonderful condition. We are unaware of another copy of this historical poster in existence. Good/Very Good on Linen..

This is silent screen idol Harold Lockwood's final film. After a successful run of over one hundred pictures in Hollywood's early heyday, the promising actor fell victim to the flu epidemic of 1918. Here he stars as David Smith, an innocent manager of a real estate scam on a deserted island. He refuses to go along with his boss's schemes, even though he has fallen for the man's daughter Christabel, played by another early silent star, Bessie Eyton. This rare one sheet is gorgeously rendered in stone litho and had tears in the image area and bottom border, and fold wear. These issues are no longer apparent after professional restoration and now it looks stunning. Very Good+ on Linen.

Seven Keys to Baldpate (Artcraft, 1917). One Sheet (27" X 41").
The original play from which this film was adapted debuted on Broadway at the Astor theater in September of 1913. It was George M. Cohen's mystery farce based on the novel by Earl Derr Biggers, (who later went on to write the adventures of Charlie Chan). Seven Keys To Baldpate is easily Cohan's most popular play. While he is known mostly for his musical contributions, this play has been revived and filmed many, many times. Cohan himself starred in the first filmed version (1917) for which this very rare poster was made, and starred in the revival in 1935 for the Player's Club. This wonderful poster depicting Cohan as writer George Magee speaking with the reporter played by Anna Q. Nilsson had tears within the image and borders and was missing two small pieces. One at Cohan's right foot and a small area to the left of his head. The restoration on the poster was expertly and well done. A scarce item from what many consider to be Cohan's most popular silent screen effort. Very Good- on Linen.

Uncle Tom's Cabin (Universal, 1927). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Universal Studio's version of Uncle Tom was produced in 1927 with a big-budget, full-length version of the novel. (By 1927 "full length" meant just over two hours. "Big budget" added up to $1.8 million, though it was advertised as $2 million.) The story was dramatically changed to be more about the story of Eliza and her troubles, with Uncle Tom becoming a very secondary character. This beautiful stone litho one sheet by Morgan, has had some border added around the perimeter. There was minor touch-up to the foldlines. This is a lovely piece of film history with the old Universal logo seen in the lower left. Fine- on Linen.

Canada's Mountain of Tears (Goldwyn, 1919). Ford Educational Weekly Poster (28" X 42").
Henry Ford's interest in film was two pronged; he appreciated the medium's potential as both an educational medium, and a valuable advertising tool. Ford started a film department in his company in 1914. The film shorts and documentaries created focused mainly on travel and current events until the mid 1920's, when the subject matter became more geared towards good roads, traffic and industrial safety. This fine example of the posters for Ford's educational films features a lovely image of the Canadian Rockies. Lovely stone litho artwork. Fine/Very Fine.

The Splendid Crime (Paramount, 1925). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Adorable Bebe Daniels stars as a vagabond who tries to put the touch on a wealthy man (Neal Hamilton), but instead of turning her over to the police, he convinces her to go straight. When his own life takes a downward turn, Daniels tries to rescue him from himself. This lovely stone litho poster has a great image of the two leads (note how she's picking his pocket), and lush color. Condition issues included small tears in the image, crossfold separations with minor chips in the folds, and small chips out of the top and bottom left borders, all of which has been addressed with excellent professional restoration. Very Good+ on Linen.

The Yellow Lily (First National, 1928). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style B.
Billie Dove starred in four films for director Alexander Korda, including this romantic drama which co-stars Clive Brook. Dove plays Judith Peredy, a commoner who catches the eye of the womanizing Hungarian Archduke Alexander (Brook), much to the annoyance of her proud brother Eugene (Nicholas Soussanin). This lush stone litho one sheet had fold wear, crossfold separations, missing paper in the lower left border, a tear in the top right, and a tear and small hole in the left border. It has been expertly restored and these issues are no longer apparent. A colorful and magnificent portrait of Dove and Brook, this beauty should not be overlooked. Fine+ on Linen.

Ronald Colman stars as a gypsy prince whose wife is raped and eventually dies at the hand of a despotic Duke (Montague Love); Colman vows revenge and crashes the Duke's wedding ceremony, making off with the bride (Vilma Banky). He intends to ravage her in the same way, but his conscience intervenes, and she eventually falls in love with him.

The Skyrocket (Associated Exhibitors, 1926). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Here's something you don't see every day: a rolled printer's proof for a silent one sheet! This one features Peggy Hopkins Joyce, who had something of a reputation as a playgirl in the 1920s, marrying - and subsequently divorcing - a series of wealthy men, and earning a hefty settlement each time. This film was made to cash in on her notoriety, if not her acting talent. The beautiful stone litho poster offered here comes from the collection of a gentleman who worked in a lithography company in the 1920s. Aspiring to be an artist, he was allowed to take newly-printed copies of posters home in order to study them. He kept the posters rolled, preserving them for later generations. This museum-quality poster shows some tack holes in the top border, light edge wear, and a chip in the bottom left corner, but in every other respect looks as clean and new as the day it rolled off the press. If you're a fan of silent films, you have to bid on this poster. Rolled, Very Fine+.

Just Suppose (First National, 1926). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Richard Barthelmess was one of the most popular of the early silent stars, getting his start in several of D.W. Griffith's masterpieces, such as Broken Blossoms, and Way Down East. In this historical drama, Barthelmess plays Prince Rupert of the fictional Koronia, who is torn between duty and love when he falls for a commoner, Linda Stafford, played by Lois Moran. The young Irish actress had just distinguished herself in the previous year's Stella Dallas, and a role in Camille. This lovely stone litho one sheet has edge wear, corner creases, small cross fold separations, and three small tears in the black field. The stone litho process was used to great effect in this poster, one of the prettiest we have seen from the silent era. Fine.

Sunrise (Fox, 1927). Window Card (14" X 22").
Friederich Wilhelm Murnau was one of the leading designers of the most important film movement of the 1920s, German Expressionism. Through classics like Nosferatu (1922) and Der Letzte Mann (1924), Murnau helped define the style that brought shadows to life and would become the launching point for both the American gangster film and the film noir style. This Murnau film, Sunrise, has been widely hailed as one of the greatest movies ever made, unsurpassed in terms of both artistry and sheer beauty. The story regards a Farmer (George O'Brien) who meets and falls in love with a seductive Woman from the City (Margaret Livingston). The two fall in love, and the Woman convinces the Farmer to murder his Wife (Janet Gaynor), which he agrees to do. Fortunately, he comes to his senses by the end, overthrowing the evil urbanite and reaffirming his love for his Wife. The film was a critical blockbuster, not only earning rave reviews but winning three golden statues at the very first Academy Awards: Best Picture, Unique and Artistic Production - the first and only time this award was ever presented. It shared Best Picture honors with Wings (1927) - Best Actress (Janet Gaynor), and Best Cinematography. It remains today the capstone of Murnau's impressive career. Paper for this film is as scarce as it is beautiful. Aside from this exquisite window card, Heritage has only offered two different style window cards, a few lobby cards, and a handful of stills since 2001. The stunning window card offered here shows some light edge wear, light water staining at the edges and at the snipe, a bottom left corner bend, and a replaced bottom right corner. These minor issues do nothing to detract from the overwhelming eye appeal of this great piece, a window card that any film fan will be proud to own and display. Very Good/Fine.

Lonesome (Universal, 1928). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Silent star Glenn Tryon is paired with relative unknown Barbara Kent in this sweet romantic tale that takes place during one day at an amusement park. As the characters Mary and Jim, they meet and fall in love, only to become separated by the crowd. Will they find each other again before it's too late? Director Paul Fejos, born in Hungary and a respected bacteriologist before entering film and traveling to America, made only a small handful of U.S. films before returning to his native Hungary in 1929 to become a much respected anthropologist and archeologist. This amazing film is often compared to other such classics of the pre-sound era as Sunrise (1927) and The Crowd (1928). This exquisite stone litho one sheet is in pristine, unrestored condition, showing only the most minor wear and is the only known copy of this stunning poster that we are aware of. Very Fine/Near Mint.

Set in the world of traveling circuses, small actor Billy Rhodes, who went by the name "Little Billy," plays a circus owner named P.W. Melrose, who is being sabotaged by one of his employees secretly working for a competitor. While investigating multiple "accidents" and murder, Melrose is also involved in a love triangle with another employee, Queenie Parker (Marie Prevost) and her beau, Ted (Ralph Graves).

Sinews of Steel (Lumas, 1927). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style A.
Frank O'Connor directs this drama set against the backdrop of competing steel mills owned by a father and son (Anders Randolf and Gaston Glass). Alberta Vaughn co-stars as the son's romantic interest, and Sam Sax produced the film. Sax would soon head the Vitagraph short-subject department for Warner Brothers, a post he kept for a decade. This is a remarkably beautiful stone litho one sheet that shows edge wear, enlarged pinholes in the corners, two tears in the right border, and small corner bends. The multitude of colors are rich and bright on this rare and very special poster from this early silent picture. Very Fine-.

Jerry Nolan (Charles Delaney) is an Army boxing champ who hangs up his gloves at the behest of his mother (Kate Price) in favor of a job as a construction worker. When his kid brother gets sick, however, Nolan climbs back into the ring for a championship bout. This glorious stone litho poster had minor crossfold separations, a small chip in the top left and bottom left corner, and pinholes in the bottom corners, but expert professional restoration has rendered these slight flaws virtually invisible. This is one of the most beautiful Otis Lithos we have ever seen! Very Fine- on Linen.

The Shakedown (Universal, 1929). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Ultimately a story of redemption, we follow a shady boxer, Dave Roberts (James Murray), known for throwing a bout for the right price, whose life changes when he adopts the orphan Clem (Jack Hanlon). Hoping to earn the boy's respect, Roberts straightens his life out and finds love with Marjorie, played by Barbara Kent. This well done tearjerker is notable as an early, part-talkie film by the renowned director William Wyler, and as one of the brilliant but too few films starring Murray, who shot to stardom the previous year in King Vidor's masterpiece The Crowd, only to die tragically a few years later. Just a gorgeous image, the poster shows only crossfold separations. Very Fine/Near Mint.

In one of Universal's earliest forays into talking pictures (this one is a part-talkie), Jean Hersholt stars as a belligerent sea captain and father of daughter Erie (Sally O'Neil). The captain refuses to accept that his daughter is grown and in love with a tugboat engineer (Malcolm McGregor) and does everything possible to break up their relationship.

Coquette (United Artists, 1929). Lobby Card Set of 8 (11" X 14").
Mary Pickford's first talkie was based on the play by George Abbott and Ann Preston Bridgers. Pickford plays a southern belle who has to choose between three men (Matt Moore, George S. Irving, and Johnny Mack Brown), and her final choice invokes the ire of her father. This excellent lobby card set has great images of Pickford on every card. The title card has writing in pen below the title and fingerprint marks, while all cards have pinholes in the corners, while several other cards have minor corner and border chipping, and one card has a dust shadow in the right border. Fine+.

Naughty But Nice (First National, 1927). Window Card (14" X 22").
In this charming comedy, Colleen Moore plays Berenice Summers, a girl from the wrong side of the tracks who is thrust into the world of high society when her uncle strikes it rich in the oil business. Quickly transformed from an ugly duckling to a swan, Moore turns heads like nobody's business, leading to a host of complications. One of the most popular stars of the silent era, Moore was the quintessential flapper, setting a style that millions would adopt during the Jazz Age. Like many stars of the era, Moore's career faded with the coming of sound, but the shrewd investments she had made years before allowed her to live a comfortable life for another half a century. This charming window card, with art that, although unsigned, appears to be that of the great John Held, Jr., has pinholes in the top corners, staining in the left border and image area, and light soiling overall. Nevertheless, this great piece still possesses a high degree of eye appeal, making it a perfect addition to any collection. Fine-.

Synthetic Sin (First National, 1929). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Based on the play by Frederick and Fanny Hatton, Colleen Moore stars as a pretty local girl who travels to New York to be in a play and decides she must live a wicked life for awhile to gain sophistication. Moore's starring vehicles were never as naughty as the titles led one to believe. This early film, made at the time of the transition to sound, was released with a synchronized Vitaphone musical score. This pretty poster had a half inch of border replaced around the perimeter, and had minor fold wear prior to expert professional restoration. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Orchids and Ermine (First National, 1927). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style B.
A major star during the silent era, Colleen Moore retired in the early 1930s, invested most of her money in the stock market, and spent the next few decades cycling through four husbands. Produced at the height of her popularity, Orchids and Ermine casts Moore as an upwardly mobile woman who takes a job at a hotel catering to wealthy men. This beautifully-rendered stone litho poster has a great image of Moore, and still boasts sharp colors and clarity. The poster had a tear in the credit area, small chips in the left and right borders, and a horizontal chip at Moore's mouth, all of which has been addressed with excellent professional restoration. There is also a minor pink stain in the bottom margin. Fine+ on Linen.

The Final Close-Up (Paramount, 1919). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Popular leading lady of the silents, Shirley Mason, stars as Nora Nolan, a department store employee in this early romance. A nice, rich young man pays for her much-needed vacation and soon she is the object of jealousy at an exclusive resort, as Jimmie (Francis McDonald) only has eyes for her. Mason made over one hundred films during the 1910s and 1920s, retiring with the advent of talking pictures. She is featured in an adorable recreational ensemble in this gorgeous stone litho poster. It has been professionally restored to address creases, tears, and small chips throughout. These issues are no longer visible on the poster and it displays remarkably well. Fine- on Linen.

Behind Masks (Paramount, 1921). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Based on the novel Jeanne of the Marshes by E. Phillips Oppenheim, this is the story of Jeanne Mesurier (Dorothy Dalton), the ward of the greedy Madame Edna Delore (Julia Swayne Gordon) - the head of a gang of con-men and swindlers - who wants to marry the young girl off... for a price. Eventually, Jeanne not only brings Madame and her gang of thieves to justice, but finds true love in the process. Although Dalton was mainly known for more action-oriented parts, this film gave her a chance to play the ingénue role instead. This lovely stone litho one sheet had fold wear, crossfold separations, and a chip in the left border at the fold line, but expert professional restoration has addressed these slight issues, making this poster now look like a million bucks. If beautiful posters are your passion, don't let this one get away! Very Fine- on Linen.

Phillips Oppenheim, this is the story of Jeanne Mesurier (Dorothy Dalton), the ward of the greedy Madame Edna Delore (Julia Swayne Gordon) - the head of a gang of con-men and swindlers - who wants to marry the young girl off... for a price. Eventually, Jeanne not only brings Madame and her gang of thieves to justice, but finds true love in the process. Although Dalton was mainly known for more action-oriented parts, this film gave her a chance to play the ingénue role instead. This lovely stone litho one sheet had fold wear, crossfold separations, and a chip in the left border at the fold line, but expert professional restoration has addressed these slight issues, making this poster now look like a million bucks. If beautiful posters are your passion, don't let this one get away! Very Fine- on Linen.
The Student Prince in Old Heidelberg (MGM, 1927). Lobby Card Set of 8 (11" X 14").
Director Ernst Lubitsch fashions a schmaltzy, delightfully artificial rendition of the 1924 Lehar opera, which in turn was based on the 1902 play In Old Heidelberg. Ramon Novarro plays the title role, an ever-carousing young monarch who falls for ebullient barmaid Norma Shearer. Fully willing to forsake his crown for her, Novarro nevertheless chooses duty over love when his country is threatened with revolution. This excellent lobby set features the adorable Shearer on almost every card. The title card is in very nice shape, while most of the other cards have chips in the top right corner; one card has a tear in the left border and another has pinholes. Fine+.

Captain Blood (Warner Brothers, R-1948). Italian 2 - Folio (39" X 55").
One of Errol Flynn's earliest films, this high flying adventure is also one of his best. A near perfect film with expert direction by Michael Curtiz, a stellar cast including Olivia de Havilland, Basil Rathbone, and Lionel Atwill, and impressive battle action, this classic was nominated for four Academy Awards.

The professional restoration work on this beauty has been expertly handled, with the areas of missing paper unnoticeable until closely examined with a light source. A glorious early image of Flynn, this rarely seen gem deserves a high place in any classic film poster collection. Good/Very Good on Linen.

The Life of Buffalo Bill (Pawnee Bill Film Co., 1912). Stock One Sheet (28" X 41").
In the early 1900s Walter Barnsdale started a "traveling moving picture show" company that played at carnivals and circuses.

It is rolled and has edge tears and slight wear. Rolled, Fine.

101 Ranch (circa 1910s). Stock Poster (20.5" X 28").
The 101 Ranch, which was founded in the Indian Territory of Oklahoma in 1879 as a cattle ranch, holds an important place in film and entertainment history. Founded by Colonel George Miller, the ranch passed to his sons upon his death in 1903. Inspired by their neighbor and friend, Major Gordon W. "Pawnee Bill" Lillie, the Miller Brothers established their own Wild West show, and by 1907 were touring and performing nationally. During the next several decades - the show was retired for good in 1932 - a number of important performers would call the show home, including Bill Picket, Jack Hoxie, Buffalo Bill, and, for several years prior to relocating to Hollywood, a young Tom Mix, destined to become one of the biggest stars of the silver screen. The Ranch itself is gone now, it's buildings parceled off and eventually torn down, but its place in U.S. entertainment history survives, an important part of our American heritage. Paper from the 101 Ranch is extremely scarce, and we are pleased to bring this ultra-rare piece to the attention of poster collectors everywhere. A beautiful stone litho poster, the 9" X 20" location snipe is attached at the bottom. The poster itself has some slight crossfold separation, minor edge tears, pinholes, and some overall soiling, but still presents very nicely, a wonderful touchstone to the entertainment out great-great grandparents enjoyed nearly a century ago. Very Good.

Before the White Man Came (Arrow Film, 1920). One Sheet (26" X 40").
The "all-Indian cast," including Mae Old Coyote, heralded in this film, was assembled from members of the Crow and Cheyenne tribes, an unheard of move in a time when it was common for ethnic parts, from African American to Asian, to be played by heavily made up white actors. Primarily a love story, this film is about Big Elk, who proposes to the lovely Che-wee-na. Everything is fine, until White Wolf sets his eyes on Che-wee-na, leaving the two braves to fight for the woman they both desire. The glorious stone litho poster offered here, with its stunning imagery, will make a fine addition to any collection. It shows foldwear with paper separation at the fold lines and at the crossfolds, small tears and chips at the edge with archival tape on the reverse, a top right corner chip, and a left corner bend, but is otherwise in excellent condition. Fine+.
The "all-Indian cast," including Mae Old Coyote, heralded in this film, was assembled from members of the Crow and Cheyenne tribes, an unheard of move in a time when it was common for ethnic parts, from African American to Asian, to be played by heavily made up white actors. Primarily a love story, this film is about Big Elk, who proposes to the lovely Che-wee-na. Everything is fine, until White Wolf sets his eyes on Che-wee-na, leaving the two braves to fight for the woman they both desire. The glorious stone litho poster offered here, with its stunning imagery, will make a fine addition to any collection. It shows foldwear with paper separation at the fold lines and at the crossfolds, small tears and chips at the edge with archival tape on the reverse, a top right corner chip, and a left corner bend, but is otherwise in excellent condition.

The Covered Wagon (Paramount, 1923). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style A.
Director James Cruze presented audiences with one of the first great epic Westerns produced during the silent era. Before it arrived in 1923, the series Western reigned supreme, with stars such as Broncho Billy and Tom Mix attracting huge followings. However when The Covered Wagon arrived, Hollywood studios began to consider the Western more seriously. The saga chronicles the largest wagon train ever to cross the valley of the Platte River. The film reportedly had a cast of 3,000 which included 1,000 Indians brought from reservations by a young Colonel Tim McCoy. This lovely poster shows star Lois Wilson, on a rearing horse as Alan Hale and Ernest Torrence argue below. There were pinholes in the corners and a crease and tear on the right corner of this lovely poster. The poster has been mounted on linen and professionally restored. A great poster with eye-popping color for a very historical film. Very Fine on Linen.

The Red Raiders (First National, 1927). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style A.
Largely considered to be cowboy star Ken Maynard's finest silent Western, this story about an Indian uprising is rather unique in its sympathetic portrayal of the Native American tribesmen. Intriguingly, the film was shot on the site of Custer's Last Stand at Little Big Horn, with the only survivor of that conflict, a Native American named White Man Runs Him, appearing as "Himself." A relatively early film, Maynard's career would continue to flourish after its release, and he would go on to make nearly 75 additional films well into the sound era. The gorgeous stone litho poster offered here had foldwear with paper loss, pieces missing from the borders and image area, and tears that extend into the field. Expert professional restoration has rendered these flaws virtually invisible, making this a poster that any Western fan will own and display proudly. Good on Linen.

Arizona Nights (FBO, 1927). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Fred Thomson's last picture for FBO Studios was this Western which involved the cowboy star with a shady horse trader and a local tribe of Indians. Thomson signed with Paramount even before film was released. This gorgeous poster features stunning stone litho art. Prior to restoration, there were pinholes in the corners, fold wear with chipping, crossfold separation and extra folds, and small tears and chips in the borders. The top notch restoration has returned this poster to looking nearly pristine. Very Good on Linen.

The Water Hole (Paramount, 1928). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style A.
This silent Western is based on a short story by Zane Grey and stars the ever popular Jack Holt as Philip Randolph, an Arizona rancher whose affections are toyed with by socialite Judith Endicott (Nancy Carroll). An early film for the bubbly Carroll, she holds her own as she is brought down to earth and taught a lesson by Holt's character.

40 Horse Hawkins (Universal, 1924). One Sheet (27" X 41").
In this pleasant Western comedy, small-town handyman Luke Hawkins (Hoot Gibson) falls madly in love with visiting actress Mary Darling (Anne Cornwall), and follows her back to New York when the troupe leaves his little town of Lariat. Luke manages to win a part in Mary's newest play, and that's when the fun really begins. One of Hollywood's top Western stars, Gibson was commanding up to $16,000 per picture at the time this film was released, and was an accomplished cowboy in real life, unlike many of his Tinseltown contemporaries. Second only to Tom Mix in terms of box office popularity, Gibson was one of the few silent stars to make the successful transition to talkies. Offered here is a marvelous stone litho one sheet, showing Gibson in his prime. It has pinholes in the corners, pinpoint crossfold separations, and light edge wear. Additionally, theater information has been printed along the bottom border. For any Western or silent film fan, this is a beautiful example of early poster art. Very Fine.

In the years following the Civil War, Wild Bill Hickok (Gary Cooper) battles crooked arms dealer John Lattimer (Charles Bickford), who has been providing the Native Americans with repeating rifles, allowing them to make hash of the U.S. Cavalry. When Calamity Jane (Jean Arthur) is captured, Wild Bill tries to bargain for her release but instead gets captured himself. A sprawling Western directed in grand style by Cecil B. DeMille, The Plainsman doesn't get many points for historical accuracy, but it's grandly entertaining just the same.

Two-Fisted Law (Columbia, 1932). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Tim McCoy is featured on this, one of his rarest one sheets. Given third billing was a young John Wayne who had yet to carve his own place in the Western legacy. The image is very familiar to many poster advocates as it was reproduced in the late 1960s by Portal Publications in a smaller size. This gorgeous original one sheet has wear to the folds, especially the fold running through the kerchief on McCoy's neck. Fine-.

Tom Mix Circus Poster (mid-1930s). Circus Poster (21" X 28").
One of the biggest Western stars of the silent era, Tom Mix combined Western feats of derring-do with a showman's sense of flash and style, most likely gained from the time he spent in Wild West Shows in the early years of the twentieth century. Mix originally entered Hollywood as a horse wrangler, but soon began appearing in, and then starring in, pictures as well. Quickly becoming the top cowboy star of his day, Mix was riding high until the coming of sound. Uncomfortable with the new medium, he made a handful of talkies for Universal, and a blockbuster serial, The Miracle Rider (1935), for Mascot before retiring from the screen for good. He then toured with his own Tom Mix Circus from 1936 to 1938 before dying in a tragic automobile accident on October 12, 1940. This beautiful stone litho sheet, with an exquisite portrait of Mix and his horse, Tony, is a beautiful image of the great star at the height of his fame. In superb condition, only some light edge wear keeps it from an even higher grade. Very Fine+.

Winchester '73 (Universal International, 1950). Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style B.
This was the first collaboration between director Anthony Mann and actor James Stewart, a team that would create a series of superior Westerns that added a new, psychological dimension to the genre. Mann's film gives us one of Stewart's greatest performances, his manic intensity evoking both terror and pathos. The supporting cast is great, with Shelley Winters, Dan Duryea, and both Tony Curtis and Rock Hudson appearing in small roles. The story revolves around a stolen prize Winchester rifle and the death and destruction it brings to all who use it. The posters from this title have always been the most difficult to find from the Mann/Stewart films. Offered here for the first time is the Style B half sheet with its dramatic artwork of Stewart and Winters front and center. In very nice, unrestored condition, it shows fold wear with two small separations, staple holes and light smudges in the borders, three corner bends, and light edge wear. Folded, Fine/Very Fine.

Shane (Alan Ladd) comes to the Wyoming territory just in time to be of use during the struggle between the landowning farmers and the lawless cattlemen, who refuse to stop moving their herds through the settled farms. The battle turns bloody when the hothead Stonewall Torrey (Elisha Cook, Jr.) is gunned down by hired gun Jack Wilson (brilliantly played by Jack Palance). The lone hero Shane reluctantly takes on the Ryker gang and becomes Joey Starrett's (Brandon De Wilde) hero. An unforgettable classic, the film closes with Shane telling Joey to let his mother, Jean Arthur, know that there are no more guns in the valley, as he rides away. This professionally restored half sheet is just stunning and had only light fold wear, and a tear in the top right corner. Fine/Very Fine on Paper.

High Noon (United Artists, 1952). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Gary Cooper stars as a marshal under siege in one of the truly great Westerns. As a lawman preparing to retire and get married on the same day, Cooper must also deal with the news that a man he sent to prison has been released and is coming back on the noon train to kill him. Grace Kelly co-stars as his bride, and the film famously takes place in real time. Colors on this example present with stronger levels of magenta than we've seen on other copies in which the flesh tones were more natural. Otherwise, pinholes in the field and fold wear were the only condition issues, which have been rectified with professional restoration. Very Fine- on Linen.

High Noon (United Artists, 1952). Lobby Card Set of 8 (11" X 14").
Films are much like an artist's brush and a box of paints; it all depends on who is wielding the brush and mixing the oils. Just ask Georgia O'Keefe and Picasso... or Fred Zinnemann and Gary Cooper. They took a simple, uncomplicated, standard western plot and several months later had fashioned a 4 Oscar winning/ 7 nominated film we still watch today. This uncommon complete set of lobby cards has many of the classic scenes from the film. There are minor issues on some of the cards; pinholes, small paper clip stains, removable paper tape on verso of 2 cards, stains and small chips in the lower left corners, and tiny border tears. Fine.

High Noon (United Artists, 1959). Polish One Sheet (23" X 33.5").
Gary Cooper, very deservedly won an Oscar for his performance in the unforgettable role of Marshal Will Kane, in what many consider to be the all time greatest Western ever made. Grace Kelly plays Quaker pacifist Amy Fowler Kane, the marshal's new wife. Directed by Fred Zinneman, the screenplay for this taut, austere film was written be Carl Foreman. The film has often been interpreted as an allegorical tale about the blacklisting of Hollywood, and it is interesting to note that this would be Foreman's last Hollywood screenplay before moving to London in blacklist exile. There are pinholes in the corners, light edge wear and a very faint vertical crease though the center of the poster. Noted artist Marian Stachurski did the artwork for this exceedingly rare poster. A great addition to any High Noon fan's collection, or fans of Polish film posters in general. Rolled, Very Fine-.

Once Upon a Time in the West (Euro International, 1969). Italian 2 - Folio (39" X 55").
Director Sergio Leone cast Henry Fonda as a cold-blooded killer and ruthless rancher in this seminal Western. Charles Bronson stars as the harmonica playing stranger bent on revenge, and Claudia Cardinale is the woman who comes between them. The master of Spaghetti Westerns, Leone has a long list of numerous memorable classics, but many feel this is his lasting masterpiece of the cinema. Leone would once again call upon the brilliant Ennio Morricone to compose the haunting musical score for this film. The poster has been mounted on linen, but other than minimal color touch-up to the fold lines there has been no restoration work. With only very small stains in the lower border, tears with tape pulls on the verso, fold wear and minor crossfold separations, this fantastic country-of-origin poster with art by Rodolfo Gasparri captures not only magnificent portraits of the film's cast, but also the thrilling opening sequence with Bronson gunning down Woody Strode and Jack Elam.

The Mysterious Island (MGM, 1929). 24 Sheet (104" X 232").
Loosely based on the Jules Verne novel of the same name, this part-talking film, shot in early Technicolor, is the earliest adaptation of the famed science fiction tale, which was written in 1874.

Metropolis (Paramount/UFA, 1927). Insert (14" X 36").
With the release in 1927 of Metropolis, director Fritz Lang set the standard for all epic science fiction films. Set in the future, it portrayed a super civilization of towering skyscrapers run by an elite group led by Joh Fredersen (Alfred Abel), the so-called "Master of Metropolis." But it is his son Freder (Gustav Froehlich) who discovers the underbelly of this super-city, and the overworked laborers who keep it running, when he meets Maria (Brigette Helm), who has become the spokesperson for these unfortunate people. To combat this influence, the elder Fredersen contracts the deranged scientist/inventor Rotwang (Rudolf Klein-Rogge) to construct a robot to imitate Maria and lead the workers astray. The scenes of the robot's creation and the robot itself would not be matched in film for another fifty years. Following its premiere in Germany in 1927, Metropolis was released in a truncated version in America, which essentially cut the heart out of the film. Audiences did not understand it and it was not popular here. The posters from this film are the rarest of rare and it is especially true of U.S. material. No one sheets or three sheets have ever surfaced, and offered here is an extremely attractive insert poster for this ground-breaking film. Prior to restoration, this rolled poster had missing paper along the bottom right border, some of which went into the image. There was a also a small strip of missing paper along the right side of the top border. These defects had a very minimal effect on the poster's image, with the color remaining vibrant and strong. The expert restoration has in fact rendered these issues nearly invisible. From the Kirk Hammett Collection. Fine on Paper.

Nothing epitomizes the quality of the great artwork in film posters from the 1930's better than a Tooker Lithograph, and this terrific rendition of a stressed Richard Dix as the brilliant engineer determined to link America and England with an underwater tunnel does not disappoint.

One of the better copies we've seen, with only a small chip in the right border, tiny pin holes and a top right corner small chip. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

The War of the Worlds (Paramount, 1953). Lobby Card Set of 8 (11" X 14").
Based on the classic novel by H. G. Wells, this exciting film is one of the finest science fiction pictures of the 1950s.

Forbidden Planet (MGM, 1956). Window Card (14" X 22").
Of all the great characters of the 1950s science fiction genre, perhaps the most loved and iconic is Robby the Robot, who makes his first film appearance in this classic. The idea for the character was derived from a short story "Robbie" by Isaac Asimov written in 1940 and reprinted in the 1950 collection "I, Robot." After the huge success of this film, Robby and successive imitators appear in several more films. This wonderful and scarce window card is but a scaled down version of the famous one sheet. The card was in wonderful shape before expert cleaning. Very Fine.

Forbidden Planet (MGM, 1956). Insert (14" X 36").
Robby the Robot made his debut in this classic science fiction film, a loose adaptation of William Shakespeare's The Tempest. A rescue mission sent to Altair IV, captained by Commander J. J. Adams (Leslie Nielsen) to investigate the disappearance of the Bellerophon, finds lone survivor Dr. Edward Morbius (Walter Pigeon) and his beautiful daughter Altaira (Anne Francis), along with Robby, Dr. Morbius's creation. Unfortunately, they also find a horrific monster, the last remnant of the civilization that used to inhabit Altair IV, that threatens to destroy them. In terms of desirability, this is one of the top science fiction posters of the 1950s, due to its terrific, eye-catching graphics. This gorgeous insert, with its incredible image of Robby, shows clear tape in the top and bottom borders, as well as edge wear with some small tears, but is, overall, in exceptional condition. Rolled, Fine+.

2001: A Space Odyssey (MGM, 1969). One Sheet (27" X 41").
When MGM decided to revamp the advertising campaign for this blockbuster film in 1969 they chose the tagline "The Ultimate Trip." The EYE poster, as this poster is most often referred to, was conceived for the 1969, 70 mm relaunch in New York while the film was still playing around the country in its original 1968 standard 35 mm format. This poster was primarily used for wilding (i.e. posting on building sites, etc.). It was therefore printed in a smaller quantity than the STAR CHILD poster, the campaign's principal image. The STAR CHILD was retained for subsequent releases for the next decade. Some of the EYE posters were displayed at the Ziegfeld Theatre but as a secondary image, and never for newspaper ads, etc. It is therefore the rarest of all the U.S. one sheets for 2001: A Space Odyssey. The original printing of the EYE and STAR CHILD posters have no NSS or other information in the bottom border, as they were created in rush time, not knowing if the campaign would take. After the successful New York opening, the campaign was adapted in other U.S. cities. This lovely unrestored and rolled copy has a pinhole or two in each corner, some very minor tanning on the borders and very minimal crimping within the image. Rolled, Very Fine+.

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

One of most popular creature films of the 1950s, it is based on a short story by Ray Bradbury that ran in the Saturday Evening Post, although in later reprints he changed his title to The Fog Horn. The great special effects genius, Ray Harryhausen, brings the creature to life. Paul Hubschmid, Paula Raymond, Cecil Kellaway, and Lee Van Cleef also star. This great poster had only cross fold separations, and light fold wear, which have been addressed by professional restoration. Although the beast never breathes fire in the film, it makes for a dramatic image on this very desirable poster. Very Fine on Linen.

Based on the novella of the same name by Raymond F. Jones, this is the story of a group of scientists, including Dr. Cal Meachum (Rex Reason) and Dr. Ruth Adams (Faith Domergue), brought together by an enigmatic figure named Exeter (Jeff Morrow), an emissary from another planet seeking aid against an enemy in an intergalactic war.

Clearly, if iconic science fiction images are your thing, this lot is for you! Fine.

Godzilla (Trans World, 1956). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
Inspired by both the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as well as the detonation of the first hydrogen bomb over the Bikini Atoll which rained unexpected fallout over a wide area and contaminated a Japanese fishing boat, Gojira (better known as Godzilla in the West) rose from the waters of Tokyo Bay to wreak terror and destruction upon a helpless mankind. Quick to capitalize on their new monster, Toho licensed Gojira to Trans World, who re-edited the picture, incorporating newly-shot scenes with American actor Raymond Burr as newspaper reporter Steve Martin, and renamed it Godzilla, King of the Monsters. The result was a hit on both sides of the Pacific. Offered here is a glorious, unused three sheet for the American release of this giant monster classic. Only some extra creasing at the folds - common in unused three sheets - and some slight crossfold separation keep this beauty from an even higher grade. Near Mint-.

After the enormous success of Gojira in Japan, Toho distributed the movie internationally, with the result that exceptional posters, like this one, were issued throughout the world.

The gorgeous example offered here, with art by Waszewska, has a chip in the right border, a tear in the top border that just extends into the image area, and a crease at the bottom, but is, overall, extremely clean and attractive.

Godzilla (Trans World, 1956). Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style B.
Inspired by both King Kong (1933) and The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (1953), Godzilla (Gojira in his original Japanese incarnation), quickly became one of the biggest stars of the Japanese cinema, eventually setting a record for most films in a single franchise. Originally, producer Tomoyuki Tanaka wanted his monster brought to life through stop motion animation, as King Kong had been, but special effects expert Eiji Tsuburaya told him that the process would take too long - upwards of seven years! Instead, Tsuburaya developed a foam and latex costume to be worn by a stunt man on a miniature set, and suitmation was born. A massive hit in Japan, the film quickly came to America, edited to include Raymond Burr as newspaperman Steve Martin. The half sheet offered here is from that first American release. It shows edge wear, pinholes in the corners, creasing, a long tear from the left border into the image area, cellophane tape on the reverse, and a small tear in the right border. In spite of these slight flaws, this is still a very desirable, and highly attractive, poster, that will surly be the pride of any collection. Folded, Very Good/Fine.

Star Wars (20th Century Fox, 1977). Promotional Poster 1 (20" X 29").
Printed in the summer of 1976 to be sold at the Comic-Con in San Diego and the WorldCon in Kansas City, with artwork by the Marvel comics artist Howard Chaykin, this was the first of what was to be a series to be used to promote the upcoming release of George Lucas' science fiction epic. Chaykin produced the artwork working from a handful of stills and paintings by concept artist Ralph McQuarrie, who designed the early Star Wars logo seen on the poster. There were about a thousand of the posters printed and of that number assuredly few have survived to this day. This is one of the most desirable of the early Star Wars collectibles. This copy is rolled and has a pinhole in each corner and a slight bit of staining on the backside which has bleed through to the front in several small areas. There is one small spot on Darth Vader's helmet and a couple of small spots in the dark star field to the left of Vader. Rolled, Fine+.

Star Wars (20th Century Fox, 1977). One Sheet (27" X 41") Second Advance.
It's no secret that 20th Century Fox was apprehensive about the impending release of a new film by the director of American Graffiti. The text-only advance posters give little clue as to what the film was about, demonstrating that the studio didn't quite know how to market this sprawling space adventure. Offered here is second advance poster, promising the story of "a boy, a girl, and a universe." This unrestored poster has chips at the top and bottom right corners, creasing, writing and tape on the reverse, a tear in the bottom border, and corner pinholes. It still presents beautifully, and is a must-have for any serious Star Wars collection. Very Good+.

Yoda himself and the AT-AT walkers are featured on this unusually representative Polish poster, with terrific artwork by Kakomski. Very light edge wear is the only thing keeping this pretty sheet from sheer perfection. Near Mint.

The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (Columbia, 1958). Italian 2 - Folio (39" X 55").
What could have been a routine fantasy film is elevated to the status of iconic classic, thanks to the brilliant stop-motion animation effects by the great Ray Harryhausen. In fact, it was the first film with stop-motion effects to be filmed entirely in color. The lovely Italian poster offered here, picturing Sinbad (Kerwin Matthews) and Princess Parisa (Kathyrn Grant) facing off against the terrifying Cyclops, is in superb condition, with only some light edge wear and crossfold separation keeping it from an even higher grade.

Little Rural Riding Hood (MGM, 1949). One Sheet (27" X 41").
This classic 1949 animated short was directed by the legendary Tex Avery and is a remake of sorts of his previous cartoons, 1943's Red Hot Riding Hood and 1945's Swing Shift Cinderella. Avery, perhaps more than any other person in animation, perfected the art of the gag cartoon. This short revolves around one of Avery's greatest characters, the Wolf, and this one went to extremes to top its predecessors with explosive gag variations on the same theme. The Wolf is so aroused by the Girl's sexy performance in the nightclub scene that he distractedly eats his hands, pounds himself on the head with a sledgehammer, devours part of the table and on and on! Each step, Avery tops each gag with another. The Hollywood censors wouldn't allow Avery to use his original gag of the Wolf's reaction--springing into a stiffened-board pose in midair- as it was too phallic for their tastes. The Red Riding Hood cartoons were to become something of a sensation and MGM claimed that they were the most successful short subjects in the company's history. This cartoon was voted the 23rd greatest cartoon in a 1994 poll. This great looking and very rare one sheet is one of the most desirable of all animated cartoon posters. It had a tear that extended from the left border through the "C" in "Cartoon." There was another tear from the top border extending to a small chip out of the "A" in "Cartoon." Professional restoration has made this one sheet look like new as the poster has retained it's glorious colors. Fine+ on Linen.

The Hollywood censors wouldn't allow Avery to use his original gag of the Wolf's reaction--springing into a stiffened-board pose in midair- as it was too phallic for their tastes. The Red Riding Hood cartoons were to become something of a sensation and MGM claimed that they were the most successful short subjects in the company's history. This cartoon was voted the 23rd greatest cartoon in a 1994 poll. This great looking and very rare one sheet is one of the most desirable of all animated cartoon posters. It had a tear that extended from the left border through the "C" in "Cartoon." There was another tear from the top border extending to a small chip out of the "A" in "Cartoon." Professional restoration has made this one sheet look like new as the poster has retained it's glorious colors. Fine+ on Linen.
Droopy's Double Trouble (MGM, 1951). One Sheet (27" X 41").
For all Droopy fans this fabulous poster is the one to have -- a double dose of the Tex Avery hero, seen here with his twin Drippy. The doggedly resolute pair are hired to protect a house while butler Theeves is gone. Droopy's pal, Spike, is left highly confused when he comes across the more aggressive Drippy, not knowing he is a twin. The poster has wear in the right border, pinholes in the corners, and crossfold separations. Overall, this is a bright and rare poster for animation collectors. Very Fine-.

The Peachy Cobbler (MGM, 1950). One Sheet (27" X 41").
The classic Grimm Brothers fairy tale "The Elves and the Shoemaker" is brought to life by the genius of the legendary Tex Avery, who directed this wonderful cartoon about a poor cobbler. Despite his own poverty, the kind old man gives his last few breadcrumbs to the hungry birds perched in his window sill. Overnight, the birds magically transform into shoe-making elves that comically manufacture enough shoes to fill the cobbler's store by morning. In true Tex Avery style, the cartoon is filled with hilarious slapstick gags and over-the-top hijinx. The poster has pinholes in the corners and borders, small edge tears, fold wear and crossfold separation, as well as archival tape on the verso. What a fabulous find for fans of the great Tex Avery! Fine/Very Fine.

Saturday Evening Puss (MGM, 1949). One Sheet (27" X 41").
This classic Tom and Jerry romp is filled with all the fun antics you expect from the crazy cat and mouse duo. After Mammy heads out for a big night on the town, Tom immediately signals his alley cat friends with a whistle and a sign reading "O.K. For the Party." When these cool cats get together the jazz is hot and the joint is jumpin'. For little Jerry, who is trying to get some sleep, this is one party he wants no part of. The rest of the cartoon involves his unsuccessful attempts at getting the cats to quiet down. Fantastic sight gags abound in this animated short, and in the end there is a little bit of justice for Jerry. There are pinholes in the corners, some light smudging and a tear in the right border, and very minor fold tears. These minor issues aside, this fabulous image of the cats' jam session, and a grumpy Jerry in the foreground, is a real gem. Fine/Very Fine.

The Duck Doctor (MGM, 1952). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Tom takes a few potshots at a flying duckling (!) and manages to wing it. It falls to the ground, but Jerry gets there first, and tries to nurse it back to health, despite the fact that the duckling seems to have a knack for running right into Jerry's clutches. With a non-PC level of violence, this is the kind of 'toon they just don't make anymore, and one of only six T&J 'toons in which Tom is seen to be killed on-screen. Speaking of non-PC, Tom takes aim at the duckie's head on this amusing and rarely-seen one sheet. Condition issues include pinholes in the borders and image area, faint staining in the top border, crossfold separations, creasing in the top corners, and tape on the reverse. Fine/Very Fine.

Casanova Cat (MGM, 1951). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Animation giants William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, aided and abetted by Rudolph Ising, did a cartoon short about a cat chasing a mouse wherein the tables get turned, in February of 1940. The point was to compete with the raucous Warner Brothers cartoons, as most MGM cartoons of that time were either musically oriented or Barney Bear shorts. With the talents of Hanna-Barbera, this simple premise was gold from the get-go, and they soon had an Oscar nomination to boast about. They would make Tom and Jerry cartoons for the next 15 years. This is a favorite, with Tom dragging Jerry as a "gift" to a pretty female cat he's romancing, but in true cartoon style, Jerry gets the girl! There were pinholes in the borders as well as a couple in the image and a 4" tear in the bottom left corner. All of these minor flaws have been corrected with linen backing and excellent restoration. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Cat Fishin' (MGM, 1947). One Sheet (27" X 41").
When Tom decides to go fishing, he selects only the finest bait...Jerry! But when he gets to the lake, he finds that getting the catch of the day may be a little tougher than he expected thanks to his nemesis Spike. There were pinholes in the corners and borders including an enlarged one in the top border. There was also a bit of wear at the folds. But following a very nice restoration, this sheet presents very well. Very Fine on Linen.

Texas Tom (MGM, 1950). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Tom the cat is top dog at a Texas dude ranch where he spends most of his time tormenting poor Jerry the mouse. When a beautiful female cat comes for a visit, Tom falls head over heels while Jerry seizes the opportunity to get some revenge. There were sizeable tears along the left and right margins as well as pinholes in the borders. There were fold separations, too. But thanks to a first class restoration, Tom and Jerry have never looked better! Fine- on Linen.

The Cat and the Mermouse (MGM, 1949). One Sheet (27" X 41").
The 43rd MGM Tom and Jerry cartoon (directed by William Hanna and Joe Barbera) features manic high jinx, both on the beach and underwater, as Jerry turns into an aquatic rodent and Jerry tussles with everything from a swordfish to an octopus in pursuit of his lunch. This nifty and little-seen one sheet has terrific artwork and great color. Pinholes in the borders and field, and some smudging in the borders are the only condition issues to note. Very Fine.

The Lonesome Mouse (MGM, R-1949). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Only the tenth Tom and Jerry cartoon, The Lonesome Mouse is significant as the very first time the two characters speak, something that happened in only a handful of the MGM installments. After some commotion, Mammy Two Shoes puts Tom out of the house. Jerry lives it up for a while (even altering the picture on Tom's water bowl to look like Hitler), but soon gets bored, and eventually the two are reunited, and waging an all-out war against each other. Directed by an uncredited Joe Barbera and William Hanna, this is one of the best early T&J 'toons. This outstanding poster, from the 1949 reissue, has pinholes in the corner and field, edge wear, a small ink spot at the top of the image, fold separations, and tape on the reverse. It still retains great color and clarity, and presents beautifully. Very Fine-.

The Bodyguard (MGM, R-1951). One Sheet (27" X 41").
In the fifteenth Tom and Jerry short directed by icons William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, and animated by Pete Burness, Kenneth Muse, Ray Patterson and Irven Spence, Jerry rescues Spike the dog (in only his second appearance in the series) from the city dog catcher. The brutish bulldog offers his services as bodyguard for the the little mouse, telling him "Thanks, chum. I'm your pal for life! Anytime you ever needs me, just whistle." With safety just a whistle away when Tom is on the prowl, Jerry feels safe at last. The plan works wonderfully, with Spike finding all sorts of clever ways (which make for great sight gags) to clobber Tom. Things go awry however, when Tom gives Jerry a jawbreaker covered in glue, making it impossible for Jerry to pucker up. It's all downhill from there for Jerry and his new pal Spike! This incredibly fun, colorful reissue poster is in great condition, only showing light fold wear, pinholes in the borders and image area, and very light creases and wrinkles at the bottom of the image area. Very Fine.

Fresh Laid Plans (MGM, 1951). One Sheet (27" X 41").
The main character of this interesting little animated short is the politically minded owl, Dr. Owsley Hoot. Brainchild of one time Disney employee, satirist John Sutherland, Fresh Laid Plans caused quite a stir when it was released, as many farmers saw it as knocking President Truman's Brannon Plan, which offered federal support of farm prices. The fresh colors in this spectacular poster are as vivid as the Technicolor cartoon itself. The poster had very light fold wear which has been professionally addressed through expert restoration, and would be a fantastic addition to any fan of animation. Very Fine+ on Linen.

Heir Bear (MGM, 1953). One Sheet (27" X 41").
When the bumbling Barney Bear inherits a treasure map leading him to a fortune in pirate booty in his own backyard, things seem to be looking up for the sad sap. Nothing ever came easy for Barney, and that holds true in this adventure, as he encounters a pesky gopher using the treasure as a bed. The feisty little gopher isn't ready to give it up without a fight. In the end, Barney outwits the gopher and gets the loot, but not the last laugh. That comes when the I.R.S. comes knocking on his door and takes the treasure away! Paul Frees is the voice of Barney in this Dick Lundy directed cartoon. The poster, which has pinholes in the borders and image area, light edge wear, smudging in the borders, a crease in the top right corner, and ghosting along the bottom is a classic find for animation fans. Very Fine-.

Cobs and Robbers (MGM, 1953). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Dick Lundy, having been hired by MGM to replace Tex Avery while on a year hiatus, directed this great Barney Bear cartoon. Lundy told interviewers that he envisioned Barney as a "Wallace Beery type," and watching this cartoon, you can definitely see some of Beery's characteristics! This fun short finds Barney being plagued by crows. Joe Scarecrow comes along to save the day, using a wind-up puppet to lead the crows out in a memorably comic conga line. Unfortunately for Barney Bear, the old scarecrow doesn't finish the job properly, and by the end of the cartoon the crows have turned poor Barney's crop into a field of popped corn. The poster has pinholes in the borders and image area, edge wear, fold wear and slight crossfold separation, along with archival tape on the verso, none of which detracts from the charm of this fantastic piece.

Albert in Blunderland (MGM, 1950). One Sheet (27" X 41").
John Sutherland produced a series of animated shorts from the late-1940s through the 1950s to educate children about the workings of society and government. This wonderful and rare one sheet is from one such short, which warns of the danger of too much government, and how it can adversely affect its citizens. This series is a small snapshot of the what the mindset of Post-War America was like. The sheet has pinholes in the borders and field, a tear at the top of the vertical fold, cross fold separations, and some edge wear. The terrific artwork is rendered in colorful stone litho and will delight all animation fans. Fine+.

Looney Tunes Cartoon Stock Poster (Warner Brothers, 1940-41). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Porky Pig and an early Daffy Duck are showcased on this "stock" poster from the early war years. With a wide-ranging output of cartoon shorts, Warners would issue these generic sheets and then attach a snipe to the top right section denoting the specific cartoon being advertised. This offering is "The Sour Puss," in which Porky takes his cat on a fishing expedition, and the feline does battle with a flying fish. The poster had fold wear which has been addressed with professional restoration. Also, the linen has been trimmed to the edge of the poster. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Bobby Bumps' Amusement Park (Bray Studios, 1917). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Pioneering animator Earl Hurd created the Bobby Bumps series of silent animated shorts for the J.R. Bray Studios from 1915-1923. This series is extremely important in the history of animation, as it was the first to use the cel animation process, revolutionizing the industry. Previous cartoons used paper for the drawings, rather than the clear celluloid, which now allowed artists to overlay figures onto a re-useable background rather than creating a new complete drawing for each frame. Paramount released the cartoons, which feature a mischievous boy Bobby Bumps and his little dog Fido, as part of their Paramount Magazine shorts. This sheet has enlarged pinholes in the borders, edge wear with minor tears, a tape stain in the center, and scratches in the title. A rare and important piece of animation history, this fantastic stone litho sheet will be a top prize for a serious collector of early cartoons. Signed by Earl Hurd in the print, lower right corner. Very Good+.

Walt Disney's Silly Symphony (Columbia, 1929). One Sheet (27" X 41") "Springtime."
When The Jazz Singer brought sound to the silent screen, Walt Disney knew that cartoons were a "natural" for the addition of dialog and music, so he sent for Kansas City musician Carl Stalling to help him out. Stalling came up with the idea of creating "mood" pieces for the cartoons, and out of this, the Silly Symphony series was created. The one sheet for the third film in this series, Springtime, is offered here. This poster has had minor color touch to the fold lines and along the borders to restore some minor chipping. Disney posters from this era are extremely scarce and represent an important legacy of the cinema and Americana. Very Good/Fine on Linen.

Mickey Mouse Stock Poster (United Artists, 1935). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Created in 1928 by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks and voiced by Walt Disney himself, Mickey Mouse brought its creator to the attention of the world and helped established Disney's reputation as a creative genius. "Born" on November 18, 1928, the release date of Steamboat Willie, the anthropomorphic mouse has evolved from a simple character in animated cartoons and comic strips to one of the most recognizable symbols in the world. United Artists picked up the Disney franchise when Columbia dropped him in 1932 and this rare stock sheet was probably the first to be distributed by the studio's new distributor. This incredibly rare poster (later incarnations boasted a bold "Technicolor!" title at the top) had corner pinholes, the left and right border was trimmed by 1/2", as well as touch-up to staining in the yellow field and on the name "Walt Disney." There was restorative work done to boost colors on parts of the image. The poster now displays magnificently. Fine- on Linen.

Mickey Mouse Exhibitor's Campaign Book (United Artists, early 1930s). Pressbook (9" X 12", 48 pages).
Here's a real show-stopper: an early pressbook devoted to merchandising Walt Disney's greatest creation, Mickey Mouse. Issued in the early 1930s - we note the presence of one sheets for both Mickey's Nightmare (1932) and Flowers and Trees (1932) within these pages - this unique find illustrates Disney's early talent for marketing and promotion. Within just a few short years of his debut in Steamboat Willie (1928), Mickey was already building an empire with such "must have" items as Mickey lollipops, Mickey kiddie jewelry, Mickey handpuppets, Mickey undies, Mickey hankies, Mickey coloring books, Mickey ties, and more. Also included in this book is a blown-in piece of sheet music for ""What! No Mickey Mouse?" by Irving Caesar (who also wrote such classic tunes as "Just a Gigolo," and "Ten Cents a Dance"), which refers to the titular rodent as "...that slicky wacki wicki bolsheviki Mickey Mouse." Make of that what you will. For poster collectors, however, perhaps the most valuable material in this book is contained in the last double page spread, which outlines and illustrates the various posters available, including stock Mickey Mouse three sheets and half sheets, as well as individual one sheets for each new picture, and the same for Disney's Silly Symphony series. All in all, this book is a treasure trove for anyone interested in the early history of both Mickey Mouse and Disney. The book itself is in exceptional condition, with only a small crease in the back cover and a soft vertical crease throughout keeping it from an even higher grade. A find this important and unique may never come your way again. Very Fine.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (RKO, 1937). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
As the first, and arguably the best, Disney full-length animated feature, this classic holds a special place in cinema history. It won an honorary Academy Award for Walt Disney who was presented with one full-sized statue and seven smaller versions. Beloved for generations now, paper from this title is always highly desirable, especially the fabulous title card offered here featuring the adorable dwarfs. The card has scratches in the bottom of the image, smudges, pinholes in the borders and one in the field, a faint stain in the title, edge wear with tears, and two corner chips. There are pieces of paper tape on the reverse. Very Good.

"Disney's Folly" as it was once known, was the first feature-length animated film, and remains a genuine classic from the Disney factory. This colorful unrestored re-issue 40" X 60" poster has corner pinholes, some edge wear with small tears, surface paint loss, a tear in the bottom border, and some staining in the borders. We have never had this large format poster before and believe it to be quite rare! Rolled, Very Good+.

Pinocchio (RKO, R-1945). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Following the success of Snow White, Walt Disney continued to push his studio toward the feature film market. To that end, Disney released Pinocchio to widespread acclaim. The film was such a hit that it was re-released in 1945 with this great one sheet. Prior to restoration, this poster had pinholes in the corners, wear at the edges and folds and crossfold separations. There was also a hole on the bottom left corner and chipping at the border. Now, as if by the very magic that brought the wooden boy to life, it presents incredibly well! Very Good on Linen.

Bambi (RKO, 1942). Six Sheet (81" X 81").
Based on the classic Felix Salter story, Bambi is considered by many to be the most flawless of all Disney films. From the gut-wrenching death of Bambi's mother to the lyrical ice-pond sequence, to the harrowing forest fire, there's not a single misstep, and Bambi remains a template for that ever-elusive "Disney magic," which even the studio itself would have trouble recapturing in later years. This wonderful six sheet is dominated by the title graphic, framed by some lovely artwork of the cast of critters. Condition issues included small tears in the right and left borders, fold wear, and two small holes in the image area, all of which has been addressed with professional restoration. Very Fine- on Linen.

A feud develops that escalates to epic proportions in this terrific Disney classic. A sensational one sheet, this professionally restored item had only fold wear, and pinholes in the corners, and displays beautifully. Very Fine on Linen.

Chips Ahoy (RKO, 1956). One Sheet (27" X 41").
It's Donald Duck versus Chip and Dale in this cartoon classic, as the two irrepressible chipmunks steal one of Donald's model boats in order to get to an island laden with acorns. Needless to say, Donald is less than amused with the hijacking of his boat, and hilarity ensues. This colorful one sheet had a 10" tear in the title area, and a small chip in Donald's left eye that slightly extends into his beak. These issues have been addressed with professional restoration, resulting in a poster that will certainly prove irresistible to any Disney fan. Fine on Linen.

His Girl Friday (Columbia, 1940). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style B.
At first, newspaper editor Walter Burns' (Cary Grant) task seems simple: keep his ex-wife, star reporter Hildy Johnson (Rosalind Russell), from marrying poor sap Bruce Baldwin (Ralph Bellamy) and retiring to a life of domestic bliss. Everything gets more complicated, however, when convicted anarchist Earl Williams (John Qualen), due to be executed, escapes, right into the waiting arms of Walter and Hildy, who hide him out in order to get an exclusive story! One of the top comedies of the 1940s, the film was based on the play The Front Page, by Ben Hecht. The wonderful one sheet offered here had pinholes, crossfold separations, and minor chips in the right and left borders and the bottom left, but professional restoration has addressed all of this leaving it to appear in beautiful condition. Very Fine on Linen.

His Girl Friday (Columbia, 1940). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
This terrific picture set the standard for the genre of screwball comedy with its genius fast paced dialogue provided by top writers Ben Hecht, Charles MacArthur and Charles Lederer. Howard Hawks directed the dream cast of Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell, and the ever-sidelined Ralph Bellamy. Offered here is the sensational title card which showcases the stars. With its original glossy finish, this card has rounded corners, a corner chip in the lower right, light edge wear, a few surface abrasions in the image, and two staple holes at the left and right. There has been some touch up work done at Grant's nose and in the stars' credit area, and there is a piece of paper tape on the reverse. Very Good+.

Holiday (Columbia, 1938). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Top director George Cukor knew how to make movie magic, especially when he had brilliant Hollywood stars to work with, such as Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn, Lew Ayres, and Edward Everett Horton. This delightful romantic comedy has the high spirited, unorthodox Hepburn finding a kindred spirit in her sister's fiance, Grant. Those good-looking stars are highlighted on this fine lobby card. Pinholes in the top image area, and a light stain in the bottom border are the only condition issues to note. Very Fine+.

Topper (MGM, 1937). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
When high-living couple George and Marion Kerby (Cary Grant and Constance Bennett) are killed in a car crash, they realize that they are kept on earth as ghosts until they perform one good deed. To this end, they undertake the rehabilitation of stuffy bank president Cosmo Topper (Roland Young), who they feel desperately needs to lighten up and have some fun, in spite of his stuffy wife (Billie Burke). Grant and Bennett are featured on this excellent unrestored lobby card. Pinholes in the corners, a tiny chip off the top left corner, top right corner crease, and a dust shadow in the top and left borders are the only condition issues. Very Fine+.

She Done Him Wrong (Paramount, 1933). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style A.
Although directed by the actor-turned-director Lowell Sherman, this bawdy pre-Code classic is all Mae West. Based on the play West wrote for herself, Diamond Lil, this is her first feature film and arguably her best. As the saloon singer Lady Lu, West's performances are mesmerizing to watch as she swings and sways (as only West can) to numbers such as: "Frankie and Johnny," and "I Like a Man Who Takes His Time." Dressed to kill in Edith Head costumes, Lu is unknowingly caught in a web of illegal doings at the saloon, and sets her sights on missionary Captain Cummings (Cary Grant) who is really an undercover agent. The film is full of wit and innuendo, and was nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award. This amazing stone litho one sheet has been professionally restored to address the very minor issues of slight crossfold separations, corner pinholes, a small tear in the top left corner, and two in the right side of the red field. There is some slight touch-up at a surface abrasion in the lower right white field. One of the most beautiful and colorful stone litho posters we have seen, this item will be one hotly contested prize for our bidders. Very Fine+ on Linen.

I'm No Angel (Paramount, 1933). Window Card (14" X 22").
Regarded as one of Mae West's funniest vehicles, this film definitely raised her star in the Hollywood system. Her previous hit She Done Him Wrong brought Paramount out of bankruptcy, and with that West wrote her own ticket as well as the screenplay of her next film. Given the choice of a leading man, she again selected a handsome young Cary Grant. This rarely-seen window card features nice portraits of the two stars. The imprint area has been airbrushed, and there are bends in the two upper corners supported by archival tape. The card is in excellent condition with only minor wear. Fine/Very Fine.

Sunnyside (First National, 1919). Six Sheet (81" X 81").
After leaving Mutual Studios in 1919, Charlie Chaplin signed a lucrative deal with First National. Mutual had paid Chaplin more than $600,000 to make twelve films and sought to renew. Instead, Chaplin signed with First National for $1.25 million to make eight pictures. Still in his twenties, he was one of the richest entertainers in the world. In exchange for producing eight two-reelers, which First National would finance and distribute, Chaplin was given virtually unlimited creative control, a situation he had long sought. The result was a series of pictures - a couple of them feature length - which stand today as some of the finest silent comedies ever brought to the screen. This picture was the third produced under Chaplin's new arrangement, in which he stars as a lovestruck farmhand pining for the lovely Edna Purviance, a frequent collaborator in Chaplin's best films. This beautiful six sheet poster is completely unrestored and in its original state of six separate sheets. There is very minor crossfold separation and the most minor border wear. This gorgeous stone litho poster is a rare and beautiful work of art to behold. Very Fine.

Charlie Chaplin in "Burlesque on Carmen" (Essanay, ca. 1916). One Sheet (27" X 41").
After leaving the Mack Sennett Studios in order to assume more creative control over his work, Charlie Chaplin signed a contract with Essanay Studios, which offered him an opportunity not only to star, but to direct. Under this new contract, Chaplin was able to extend the length of his films from one reel to two, and to start building his own stock company, which included Edna Purviance, Leo White, John Rand, and Bud Jamison. Cross-eyed comedian Ben Turpin was also part of Chaplin's troupe for a short time, but disliked working with the meticulous star, and soon departed for greener pastures. Chaplin eventually made 14 films for Essanay, but left the studio after only one year to accept a deal from Mutual, which offered more money and even more creative control. Nevertheless, the real roots of Chaplin's comedy can be seen in these early pictures. The beautiful stone litho stock poster offered here has been stenciled to promote A Burlesque on Carmen (1916), which has a fascinating history. Chaplin released one of his last films for Essanay, the two-reel Burlesque on Carmen, in late 1915. After Chaplin left Essanay to go to Mutual, studio bosses reworked the film, adding in new scenes with Ben Turpin and Wesley Ruggles (neither of whom had been in the original picture), editing in footage that Chaplin had discarded, and even inserting multiple instances of scenes already in the film. When Chaplin found out, he was furious, and sued the studio, but Essanay prevailed, and it was the studio version that was seen for decades following. This poster, as it advertises a four-reel film, is from that early reworking of the film by Essaney. The poster here offered had crossfold separation, a tear in the bottom border that extended into the image area, and foldwear, but expert professional restoration has addressed all these slight issues, returning this highly desirable piece to a like-new condition. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

A Sailor-Made Man (Pathé, 1921). One Sheet (27" X 41").
This is a very rare poster from what is actually Harold Lloyd's first feature film. Originally intended as a short film, there were just too many good gags included and the running time exceeded the standard short subject length. The film was left in its entirety and on release it grossed $485,000. The success of this film as a feature led Lloyd to abandon making 2-reel shorts. This magnificent and unrestored poster features Lloyd with his leading lady and soon-to-be wife, Mildred Davis. They remained married until her death in 1969. The poster has worm holes from being placed in the wall of a theater and nail holes where it was folded and nailed up as insulation. The image is in still amazingly beautiful condition and the colors are as vibrant as the day it was printed. Proceeds from this sale will benefit Community Action of Southern Kentucky, a comprehensive human service agency serving children, seniors, individuals and families, focusing on self reliance and will be matched dollar for dollar by the Laura Goad Turner Foundation to serve additional preschool age children. Very Good.

Steamboat Bill, Jr. (United Artists, 1928). Pressbook (9.5" X 12.5") (Multiple Pages).
This hilarious comedy was the last of Buster Keaton's independent films for United Artists, and is considered one of his silent masterpieces. This also marked the end of the long standing relationship between Keaton and producer Joseph Schenck. The two made nine films in all. Keaton plays a hapless son who must prove his worth to his father, a stubborn steamboat captain, and win the hand of the pretty Kitty (Marion Byron). This pressbook is full of fascinating material related to the film, including images of several poster styles. The spine is nearly separated and there is tape and minor staining on the covers, but the press material is all intact, including the original herald. A very rare and special item from one of comedy's greats. Fine/Very Fine.

Mickey (FBO, 1918). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
Mabel Normand was one of the most popular comediennes of the silent era, an alumni of Mack Sennett's Keystone Studios, and is perhaps best known for her co-starring roles with the likes of Charlie Chaplin and Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle. Aside from her acting talents, Normand also shone behind the camera in her roles as screenwriter, producer, and director. A close friend of director William Desmond Taylor, she was caught up in the scandal surrounding his murder in 1922, after which her career began to decline. She continued working throughout the 1920s, however, before succumbing to tuberculosis in 1930. Mickey, in which she plays a rambunctious orphan in a Western mining camp, who is sent East to live with well-to-do relatives, was her first full-length feature, and co-starred Lew Cody, whom Normand married in 1926. The striking three sheet offered here shows edge wear with some tears and some small holes in the image area. It is, nevertheless, a very desirable piece, as three sheets from the silent era,e specially those featuring major stars like Normand, are notoriously hard to come by. This is a very scarce, unrestored poster featuring one of the biggest stars of the silent era! Very Good.

Merry Mavericks (Columbia, 1951). One Sheet (27" X 41").
The Stooges were a vaudeville act beginning around 1925 as the sidekicks to Ted Healy, an up and coming comedian. The act consisted of Moe Howard, his brother Shemp Howard, and soon thereafter, violinist and comedian Larry Fine. In 1933, after much success in film, Shemp Howard left the team due to, reportedly, Healy's abusiveness. He was replaced by his younger brother, Jerry. With that change, the Three Stooges were born and Jerry became Curly. The poster offered here is from the period after Curly's death when the two remaining Stooges were reunited with Shemp. This unrestored one sheet has pinholes in the borders, smudging and a tear in the top border, minor corner bends, and pinpoint crossfold separations, but still presents very well. A terrific sheet for the Stooge fan in all of us. Fine/Very Fine.

Corny Casanovas (Columbia, 1952). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Another hilarious Three Stooges short filled with laughs from beginning to end, this madcap adventure finds Larry, Shemp and Moe all engaged--to the same woman! The scheming gold digger, Mabel (Connie Cezan), plans to get an engagement ring from each of her suitors, and then hit the trail with the loot.

The poster has pinholes in the corners and field, edge wear with very small tears, fold wear, pinpoint crossfold separations and a bottom right corner crease. Paper for these wonderful old shorts is tough to come by, making this great piece perfect for any Stooge fan. Fine/Very Fine.

Love at First Bite (Columbia, 1950). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Moe, Larry, and Shemp (the Three Stooges) reminisce about meeting their respective fiancees, and propose a toast to their impending marriage. But one taste of Old Panther whiskey gets them instantly soaking drunk, and when Shemp passes out, the other two think he's dead. They decide to get rid of the "corpse" by encasing his feet in cement and dumping him in the river. Christine McIntyre, Yvette Reynard, and Marie Monteil play the boys' intendeds. Offered here is the rarely-seen one sheet for this classic short, a solid unrestored example. There are pinholes in the borders and corners, dust shadowing in the top right corner, some corner creasing and an extra fold along the bottom border. Fine+.

Gents in a Jam (Columbia, 1952). One Sheet (27" X 41").
A classic Three Stooges short, this would be the last one that Edward Bernds would direct. Moe Howard (Moe), Larry Fine (Larry), and Shemp Howard (Shemp) are broke. About to be evicted from their apartment, they offer to do some painting for the landlady, Mrs. MacGruder (Kitty McHugh). It comes as no surprise that the Stooges' attempt at painting is a disaster, destroying the landlady's furniture. As they're packing to make a quick getaway, Shemp gets a telegram announcing that his Uncle Fineus (Emil Sitka) is coming to visit. As Fineus is a millionaire, the landlady allows them to stay. More slapstick disasters ensue as the boys deal with pretty neighbors and angry husbands. The poster has pinholes in the corners, and center, as well as very small fold tears. Collectors know how difficult it is to find paper for the classic shorts. Don't miss out on the rare opportunity to add this gem to your collection. Very Fine+.

Goof on the Roof (Columbia, 1953). One Sheet (27" X 41").
This quintessential example of all things "Stooge" starts out harmlessly enough, with the boys having nothing but good intentions as they try to help a friend install his new television and antenna. What comes next is an endless series of hilarious gags, and pratfalls. Disaster always follows these guys, and this chaotic outing is no different, with broken televisions house fires being the least of their worries. Larry, Moe and Shemp are at their finest in this short that would be the final Stooges script by Clyde Bruckman. With only light fold wear and the smallest amount of crossfold separation, this is a prize piece for any Three Stooges collector. Very Fine.

Listen, Judge (Columbia, 1952). One Sheet (27" X 41").
After the Stooges are released for lack of evidence on a vagrancy charge, they go to work as door-to-door handymen. Shemp, Larry and Moe are hired to repair a well-to-do family's doorbell, and in typical Stooge fashion, their shenanigans wreak so much havoc that the family's chef, butler and waiter all quit in a huff. The wife, desperate for help in preparing for her husband's birthday party, asks the Stooges pitch in. Their efforts have disastrous consequences, least of which is the exploding cake that lands all over the birthday boy, who recognizes them, as he was the judge who had just released them from jail. With only pinholes in the corners and borders and light fold wear and crossfold separations, this rare poster is an extraordinary find! Very Fine.

A Night at the Opera (MGM, 1935). Window Card (14" X 22").
The first film after the Marx Brothers defected from Paramount to MGM, this is considered one of their top classics. This card had pinholes in the image, creasing in the bottom border that slightly extends into the art, and the image was removed from its original backing and mounted on linen as part of the overall restoration. It presents very nicely. Very Good+ on Linen.

A Day At The Races (MGM, 1937). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
This was the second film that the Brothers Marx made for MGM after leaving Paramount following a contract dispute. The last film that they made with Irving Thalberg as producer - Thalberg died unexpectedly at the age of 37 in 1936), Groucho often cited it as one of the Brother's very best pictures. The story is typically Marxian: the beautiful Judy Standish (Maureen O'Sullivan) owns a sanitarium, but the evil Morgan (Douglas Dumbrille) wants to take it over and turn the valuable property into a casino. To the rescue comes Dr. Hugo Z. Hackenbush (Groucho), the sanitarium's director who is actually a vet masquerading as a medical doctor; Tony (Chico), a handyman; and Stuffy (Harpo), a former jockey, all intent on saving Judy and her hospital from Morgan's evil clutches. When they eventually bet everything on the outcome of a horse race, the results are predictably zany. Offered here is a highly desirable title card from this classic comedy. It had pinholes in the corners, minor chips in the bottom right and top right corners, but expert professional restoration has addressed these minor issues, making the card look like a million bucks. Very Good+ on Paper.

Man on the Flying Trapeze (Paramount, 1935). Lobby Card (11" X 14").

Only some pinholes in the corners and borders and a small chip in the right border keep it from an even higher grade. Very Fine.

The Bank Dick (Universal, 1940). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
This is one of W.C. Fields' final films, and also one of his best. He wrote the script, using his pen name Mahatma Kane Jeeves, and stars as Egbert Souse, a lazy husband who is given a job as a bank detective where he accidentally captures a crook. Cora Witherspoon and Una Merkel co-star as his nagging wife and silly daughter. The card has been trimmed by 1/2" at the top edge. It has a light stain at the right edge, edge wear at the right and left, pinholes in the field and borders, and rounded corners at the bottom. Very Good.

You Can't Cheat an Honest Man (Universal, 1939). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
The long-running "feud" between W.C. Fields and Charlie McCarthy, heard primarily on radio's Chase and Sanborn Hour, was the basis for this, one of Fields' funniest films. Fields plays shady circus manager Larson E. Whipsnade, who attempts to break up a romance between his daughter (Constance Moore) and Edgar Bergen. The story by Fields, as "Charles Bogle," is thin enough to allow the legendary comedian plenty of room to ad-lib, making this movie a joy to watch. Paper for Fields' movies, especially his important films such as this, is exceptionally scarce, and rarely turns up at public auction. This is a scarce half sheet with artwork by Jacques Kapralik. The poster has fold wear and separations. Very Good/Fine on Paper.

Never Give a Sucker an Even Break (Universal, 1941). Title Lobby Card and Lobby Card (11" X 14").
This zany, screwball comedy would be funny man W.C. Fields's final starring role, only playing supporting roles and cameos in the coming years. A satire about the movie industry that Mr. Fields knew so well, this wonderful gem is filled with classic gags, but also sprinkled with bittersweet moments that seem very befitting for what would essentially be the iconic comedian's swan song. The title card has pinholes in the top corners, and in the center of the bottom border, as well as a small corner bend in the bottom left corner. The scene card has some very light staining along the lower border and a small smudge in the top right corner. With a fabulous cartoon rendering of Fields on the title card, fans will not want to miss out on these rare cards. Fine/Very Fine.

Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch (Paramount, 1934). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
In a rare movie appearance, the great stage actress Pauline Lord plays Mrs. Wiggs, the penniless but ever-optimistic matriarch of a large, fatherless brood. W.C. Fields appears, playing second-banana to the sublime Ms. Lord. Speaking of sublime, this outstanding lobby features the very lightest of corner creases and two pinholes, but is otherwise pristine.

Monty Python Lot (Various, 1971-1983). British Quads (2) (30" X 40") and British Double Crown (20" X 30").
Endlessly quoted by geeks from all walks of life, the impact of Monty Python's Flying Circus cannot be overstated. After three highly successful seasons on the BBC, the boys -- namely John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, Graham Chapman, and Terry Gilliam -- embarked on a series of feature films every bit as hilarious as their TV work. Offered here are three country-of-origin sheets that no Python fan should pass by: the rarely seen double crown for their first film And Now For Something Completely Different (Columbia,1971) (stain in the top left corner), plus British quads for Monty Python and the Holy Grail (EMI, 1975) (surface paper loss in the credits area, enlarged pinholes in the corners), and Monty Python's The Meaning of Life (Universal, 1983) (corner pinholes, fold wear, extra creasing in the bottom area), both with artwork by Terry Gilliam.

She was America's top box-office draw from 1935 to 1938. Debuting in films at the age of three, she signed an exclusive contract with Fox at the age of five and legend has it that her films single handedly saved the studio from bankruptcy during the depression.

Boy Scouts National Jamboree (Boy Scouts of America, 1935). Poster (27.5" X 42").
This spectacular poster is notable for several reasons, with the incredible art of Norman Rockwell being at the top of the list. Rockwell's prolific partnership with the Scouts lasted more than 50 years, with his iconic images of Boy Scouts becoming engrained in the American psyche. In 1938, Rockwell was awarded the Silver Buffalo by the Boy Scouts of America, the highest award the organization can give for "Distinguished Service to Boyhood." Also of interest is that the 1st National Jamboree, commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America was to be held in Washington, D. C., in August of 1935, as advertised on this poster. With much elaborate planning for this historic event, and Scouts all across the nation eagerly anticipating their exciting journey, the event would not take place as planned, due to an outbreak of polio early in the summer. It was rescheduled, and finally came to fruition in the summer of 1937. The poster has a pinhole in the top left corner, very light edge wear, faint dust shadowing along the bottom border, a light stain underneath the Boy Scout emblem, and some light creasing in the top border, none of which detract from this masterpiece of Americana. Rolled, Very Fine-.

Gary Cooper Personality Poster (Paramount, Early 1930s). Poster (27" X 41").
For many, Gary Cooper, the strong, tall, stoic actor was the American ideal for his generation, and is still admired today for his honest, understated, endearing performances in classic after classic. Ernest Hemingway was honored to have the great Coop play his protagonists in the screen adaptations of A Farewell to Arms and For Whom the Bell Tolls. During his lifetime, Cooper received five Academy Award nominations for Best Actor, winning twice for Sergeant York and High Noon. Years later, the American Film institute would rank Cooper as 11th among male stars in their list "One Hundred Years...One Hundred Stars." In 2003, his performances as Will Kane in High Noon, Lou Gehrig in The Pride of the Yankees and Alvin York in Sergeant York made the AFI's "100 Years...100 Villains and Heroes" list, all of them as heroes. The poster has pinholes in the corners, edge wear,and edge tears, a tear in the bottom border, minor surface creasing and cellophane tape on the verso. This is a beautifully produced personality poster from a Charles Lennox Wright II painting, printed on a heavy weight paper. Wright was a very fine painter who studied with William Merritt Chase and illustrated movie posters for Paramount and RKO in the 1920's and 30's. Rolled, Fine-.

Modern Age (1980-Present)
William Powell Personality Poster (Paramount, Early 1930s). Poster (27" X 41").
The witty, urbane former stage actor William Powell broke into films playing an evil henchman of Professor Moriarty's in the 1922 John Barrymore version of Sherlock Holmes. Over the next decade Powell would play many interesting and exotic characters ranging from villains to sheiks. His earliest memorable role would be his portrayal of detective Philo Vance in The Canary Murder Case. Over the next few years Powell acted for Warner Brothers and Paramount, never quite finding the kinds of roles he was looking for. That would all change in 1934 when he signed with MGM. After a brilliant performance in Manhattan Melodrama, opposite Clark Gable and Myrna Loy, people really started to take notice. Director W.S. Van Dyke immediately picked up on the chemistry Powell had with Loy, and the duo were next cast in the roles that would make them superstars: Nick and Nora Charles in The Thin Man. William and Myrna charmed audiences with their playful sparring and a new screen team was born, a pairing that would last for 14 films in as many years. The rest, as they say is history. This linen finish poster had pinholes in the corners, a tear that extends into the image from the top border, two tears extending into the image from the bottom border, and a corner bend in the top left. The poster has had professional restoration and now appears near mint. A rare find, this is personality poster, printed on linen finish paper, of a Charles Lennox Wright II painting. Wright was a very fine painter who studied with William Merritt Chase and illustrated movie posters for Paramount and RKO in the 1920's and 30's. Rolled, Very Good+ on Paper.

Another Thin Man (MGM, 1939). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style C.
In the third installment of the Thin Man series, adapted from Dashiell Hammett's "The Farewell Murder," we find William Powell and Myrna Loy once again reprising their roles as Nick and Nora Charles, one of the most endearing screen couples of all times. Their amazing chemistry and sophisticated, witty charm that is so prevalent in all their work is a joy to watch. There is a new arrival on the scene in this film, the 8-month-old Nick Charles, Jr. (William A. Poulsen). In one of the many comic moments of this mystery, Nick is asked 'What's the idea of the kid?" upon which he replies with his dry, deadpan humor "Well, we have a dog, and he was lonesome. That was the idea, wasn't it, Mommy?" That dog of course was Asta, one of the most memorable canine characters in film history. This murder mystery, filled with as many laughs as chills, takes place at the elegant but eerie Long Island estate of Nora's deceased father's business partner, the blustery old curmudgeon, Colonel MacFay (C. Aubrey Smith). Other notable cast members include the lovely Virginia Grey, and a young Ruth Hussey. The poster had small edge tears, crossfold separations and a small bend in the lower left corner, all of which have been addressed through expert restoration, making this rare Style C one sheet that we have never before offered, a truly exciting find. Very Fine- on Linen.

As one of the earliest Charlie Chan films, and the first appearance of Warner Oland as the title master sleuth, it is sad to note that this film no longer exists. Marguerite Churchill and John Garrick costar in what would become one of the most popular movie detective series ever.

Captains Courageous (MGM, 1937). Lobby Card Set of 8 (11" X 14").
Spoiled rich boy Harvey Cheyne (played to perfection by Freddie Bartholomew) has a real attitude problem.

Of Human Bondage (RKO, 1934). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Bette Davis is all rage and fury in her unsympathetic role as Mildred Rogers. After four years in films, this part was Davis's first serious critical success, and led many to believe she would be considered for an Academy Award. The Oscar never materialized, as her contract studio, Warner Brothers, did not want to promote her performance in a rival (RKO) production. The public uproar over the absence of her nomination led the Academy to change its voting procedures; the following year, Davis won the Academy Award for her role in Dangerous. This card has pinholes in the corners, a smudge and bump in the top right corner, one corner bend, and a faint stain in the image. With striking images of Davis and Howard, the card is a great piece for this title. Fine/Very Fine.

Hell Divers (MGM, 1932). Three-Quarter Sheet (27" X 30.5").
In this pre-Code classic, Wallace Beery and Clark Gable - who officially became a "star" with this picture - play a pair of Navy pilots who engage in a serious rivalry both on duty and off. What really makes this beautiful stone litho poster a unique find, however, is its size. This is an ultra-rare three quarter sheet, a size produced for a very brief period of time in the early 1930s for posting on billboards. These posters rarely surface; in nearly ten years of poster auctions, we have never seen another, certainly making them the rarest style of poster ever produced. This superb example had pinholes in the corners, a chip in the left border, crossfold separation, fold wear, a small tear in the top right corner, and a hole in the bottom right corner. Expert professional restoration, however, has returned this great poster to a like-new appearance. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Cain and Mabel (Warner Brothers - First National, 1936). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Borrowed from his home studio, MGM, Clark Gable was re-teamed with Marion Davies in this Warner Brothers romantic comedy, after their earlier film together, Polly of the Circus. Davies' paramour, William Randolph Hearst, produced her projects through Cosmopolitan Pictures, which had distribution by MGM, but after conflicts with executive Irving Thalberg, Hearst moved Cosmopolitan to Warner Brothers in the mid-1930s. Gable and Davies had great onscreen chemistry and this superb portrait card is a fun example from the film. In excellent condition, the card has one minor corner bend. The card has its original Warner Brothers linen finish that shows a few streaks from where the finish was not applied evenly. These are minor issues and do not detract from the striking image. Very Fine+.

Red Dust (MGM, 1932). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
One of Jean Harlow's best roles, she is all sex appeal as Vantine Jefferson, a loose woman who is hiding out at a rubber plantation to evade police. This plantation happens to be run by Dennis Carson (Clark Gable), who at first spurns the blatant passes by Vantine, but is soon attracted by her frank personality. Their affair is interrupted by the arrival of Gene Raymond and his coolly beautiful wife, Mary Astor. This is the second film Harlow and Gable made together, and their chemistry lights up the screen, which can be seen in this gorgeous portrait card. It has been professionally restored to address a diagonal tear through the card in the left side, corner pinholes, a tear in the top and bottom that extended into the image area, and a crease in the right border. The restoration was expertly done, leaving this gem in beautiful condition. Good+.

Golden Age (1938-1955)
Red Headed Woman (MGM, 1932). Window Card (14" X 22").
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.

This charming window card shows minor touch-up in the image area, and a nicks in the bottom and right borders that occurred post-restoration. These slight flaws not withstanding, this is a beautiful and highly desirable card. Very Fine on Cardstock.

Red Headed Woman (MGM, 1932). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Poor Bill Legendre (Chester Morris) hasn't got a chance against the wiles of gold digger Lil, played by Jean Harlow, who changes her hair color in the opening scene of the film with the line "So gentlemen prefer blondes, do they?" -- a fun reference to the film's screenwriter, Anita Loos, most notable as the writer of the hit Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Leila Hyams stars as Bill's ever-patient wife Irene and Charles Boyer plays a small but pivotal role as the chauffeur Albert. This rare card with all three stars has been professionally restored to address 1/2" of missing paper along the top half of the left border. The restoration work was expertly handled, leaving a beautiful card that displays very well. There is a minor tear in the right border that occurred after it was worked on. Very Good/Fine.

The Girl From Missouri (MGM, 1934). Insert (14" X 36").
In this charming romantic comedy, Jean Harlow is perfect as Eadie, a golddigging showgirl with a moral compass who vows to remain chaste until she can lasso an eligible millionaire. Originally titled Born to be Kissed, the Hays Office vetoed that somewhat suggestive title, and went through several other options before settling on this rather inoffensive cognomen. Harlow's platinum blonde beauty is shown to great effect in this wonderful insert; it had small chips in the border as well as minor tears. These minor flaws have been rendered virtually invisible after the application of expert professional restoration, returning this poster to a like new appearance. Fine+ on Paper.

Jean Harlow plays Eadie, a sexy golddigger who promises to remain chaste until she finds a wealthy husband. She thinks she's found the ticket in Franchot Tone, but his mean-tempered father (Lionel Barrymore) sets out to spurn the spitfire. Harlow gets a great profile shot on this pretty lobby card. Some surface paper loss in the borders and image area, a nick in the top border, paper loss on the reverse, a small tear in the top border, and creases in two corners are the condition issues of note. Fine-.

The Girl From Missouri (MGM, 1934). Window Card (14" X 18").
If you've ever wanted a fun "back story" on a great poster, we've got one. This breezy and thoroughly entertaining Harlow comedy was originally titled "Eadie Was a Lady", after the character she played. It then was given the higher octane title "Born to Be Kissed", but The Code was put in halfway through filming and the Hays Office nixed that title. Fortunately, some paper had already been printed and this is one of the few surviving examples. Then there was the interim title of "One Hundred Percent Pure", but wiser studio heads prevailed, and that title was changed to the ultimate wide-release name we know today, "The Girl From Missouri". Harlow's sexy gold-digger is beautifully displayed in all her platinum radiance in this rare variant piece. There has been four inches of white border trimmed from the top not affecting the bright art, and there are small edge tears and a chip in the bottom left corner. Very Good+.

Libeled Lady (MGM, 1936). Counter Top Display (10.5" X 13.5").
This fast paced romp is one of the best of the screwball comedy genre, due in large part to the sensational casting of a quartet of MGM's biggest stars: Jean Harlow, Spencer Tracy, Myrna Loy, and William Powell. Tracy stars as a newspaper editor who creates a world of trouble for himself when he prints a libelous story about a wealthy heiress (Loy). Offered here is a wonderful, and rare, counter-top display. The printed image is embossed on a textured surface and is beautifully hand-tinted. It is edged in gold paint, has an attached stand on the reverse for display purposes, and is in very nice condition with only some surface scuffing and corner bumps. This is a truly unique image of these acting powerhouses, and a rare find for a lucky collector. Very Fine-.

Platinum Blonde (Columbia, 1931). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Frank Capra directed this social drama about a reporter (Robert Williams) who marries a socialite (Jean Harlow) with a family he's been investigating for a story. Loretta Young plays Robert's pal and fellow reporter - a woman he can actually relate to. There was a small tear in the right border along with a chip in the top right corner that has been repaired through restoration. There is a bend in the bottom left corner that was not repaired but the card with its saturated colors appears in beautiful shape. This is a classic and stunning Harlow piece from one of her most well known films! Fine/Very Fine.

Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (Columbia, 1936). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
In this wonderfully endearing Frank Capra comedy classic, Gary Cooper (Longfellow Deeds) plays a gentle soul who is most content when writing corny poetry and playing the tuba in his home town of Mandrake Falls, Vermont. After Deeds inherits 20 million dollars from an uncle, his life is turned upside down. He is swept away to New York, where he quickly becomes ensnared in all sorts of problems that face the idle rich. Jean Arthur is wonderful as the street smart, cynical newspaper reporter (Babe Bennett) who falls in love with the newly-rich, naive Deeds while getting an inside scoop and poking fun at him in her newspaper. Soon Deeds becomes disenchanted with the corrupt ways of the big city, and all the troubles that come with inheriting a fortune, and is determined to give away his millions to the less fortunate. This share-the-wealth philosophy was a huge hit with Depression-era audiences. Fans and critics alike loved this film, with the movie receiving five major Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actor (Cooper with his first Oscar nomination), Best Screenplay (Robert Riskin), Best Sound Recording, and Best Director (Capra). Capra would win the Oscar, making it his second after It Happened One Night. This wonderful title card had pinholes in the borders, a tear in the credits area and a small tear in the top border, all issues which have been expertly addressed through professional restoration, making this title card an absolute treasure for any collection. Fine.

White Pants Willie (First National, 1927). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Johnny Hines started performing in film in juvenile roles in 1913 and worked his way into leading man roles by the early 1920s. Throughout the twenties he headlined many popular comedies, many of which he wrote or co-wrote. This is a wonderful poster for a feature which is directed by Hines' brother Charles. It features Hines as a working mechanic who, while delivering a repaired auto to the home of a millionaire, falls in love with the daughter, played by Leila Hyams. For the rest of the seven reels, Hines must prove his worth to the daughter, including winning a polo match. As a footnote, Hines could not make the transition to the talkies and retired but for for a few bit parts here and there. The poster prior to backing and expert restoration had some minor tears and four bites from the outer borders, but now displays beautifully. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

The Fight Never Ends (Toddy Pictures, R-1948). One Sheet (27" X 41").
By the time Joe "The Brown Bomber" Louis made this film in 1949, he was already one of the world's greatest athletes, having won the World Championship in 1936 in a fight with James J. Braddock. Louis successfully defending that title over two dozen times over the course of his career.

It had a tear in the bottom left corner, crossfold separations with minor chips, and small chips in the top two corners. After expert professional restoration, however, these slight flaws are virtually invisible, and the poster looks every bit as good as knew. The picture was originally released by Alexander Productions in 1947 and re-released the following year by Toddy. Fine+ on Linen.

Overall, this is a great set that any film enthusiast would love to own. Fine/Very Fine.

Beau Geste (Paramount, 1926). Six Sheet (81" X 81").
This is the first film version of the P. C. Wren story of three brothers (Ronald Colman, Neil Hamilton, and Ralph Forbes) who join the French Foreign Legion, after assuming the guilt of the theft of a sapphire heirloom. This beautiful stone litho six sheet is most likely the only one in existence for this silent epic. Few six sheets survive from the silent era classics. Before it was restored, this poster had a number of tears in the image and borders. There were chips at the folds and edges, too. Now, it's a very impressive stone litho piece. Very Good+ on Linen.

Bring 'Em Back Alive (Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey, 1938). Circus Poster (28" X 42").
The famous adventurer Frank Buck hunted animals far and wide, from Brazil to Africa, to Asia, bringing exotic animals back to the U.S. for exhibition, zoos, and circuses. He wrote a book about his many adventures, titled Bring 'Em Back Alive, which followed with an RKO documentary narrated by Buck in 1932. Six years later he was offered a contract with Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circuses to star in his own show with his menagerie of animals. This rare and colorful stone litho poster is from that circus show, and is just spectacular. It shows wrinkling and discoloration at the bottom with a few remnants from a snipe. There is fold wear with a small separation at the right edge, light edge wear, and pinholes in the top borders. Circus posters are always in high demand, and this is a bright example of one the best.

Hunting Big Game in the Arctic with Gun and Camera (H.A. Snow, 1925). 24 Sheet (104" X 232").
Like Robert Flaherty, H.A. Snow - along with his son Sidney - traveled the world filming adventures in exotic locales. Also like Flaherty, Snow was often accused of faking his footage for dramatic effect. Be that as it may, his films represent some of the earliest attempts to capture wild animals on film. In an interview regarding his previous trip to Africa, Snow revealed the way in which he got such magnificent close-ups of the usually reticent beasts: "It is impossible to get within several hundred yards of many fleet footed inhabitants of the desert and African bad lands... Therefore we adopted a new way of approaching them. We ran them down in our flivver. By following them at a steady pace of about twenty-miles an hour, we literally tired them out, so much, that finally we were able to walk right up to them and crank at leisure." The "bully" shots that Snow obtained were truly remarkable. The father-son team was so well-known that their adventures formed the basis for the character of Carl Denham, the enthusiastic showman who brings the "Eighth Wonder of the World" to New York City in King Kong (1933). Offered here is a wonderful stone litho 24 sheet from the movie documenting their Arctic adventure. It shows edge wear, and small fold tears on the outside panel, but is, overall, in remarkable condition, especially given its age. Very Fine+.

We are proud to be offering this gorgeous, original portrait card, the best of the set, of the screen icons Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan.

The Magnificent Ambersons (RKO, 1942). Insert (14" X 36").
Director Orson Welles followed his landmark picture Citizen Kane (1941) with this ambitious project, about the well-to-do Amberson family, portrayed by Joseph Cotten, Dolores Costello, Anne Baxter, Tim Holt, and Agnes Moorehead. Sadly, as the film went over time and over budget, the studio took the picture back from Welles - while the director was out of the country - and edited it unmercifully, cutting a full 50 minutes of film and adding a happy ending. The result is a flawed masterpiece in which Welles' genius as a filmmaker still shines through strongly, in spite of the studio interference. This highly desirable insert has been mounted on linen, however little if any additional restoration has been performed. It shows fold wear, surface paper loss, tears in the bottom and right borders, some extending into the image area, corner bends, and edge wear, but is still an exceptional piece that any film fan will covet. Fine on Linen.

The Magnificent Ambersons (RKO, 1942). Autographed Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Based on the novel by Booth Tarkington, this is Orson Welles' follow-up to his masterpiece Citizen Kane. This equally grand film follows the wealthy Amberson family as the era of genteelness declines and the new century of progress arrives. Welles' control over the final edits of his films was revoked during contract negotiations with RKO, and the editing for this picture was given to several others, including director Robert Wise, and thus fifty minutes of footage was removed and the ending changed. Although highly altered, and initially unsuccessful at the box office, the film is full of outstanding performances, genius direction and is considered an important film today. This great card, which features Joseph Cotten and Agnes Moorehead, is signed "Orson Welles" and "Robert Wise." It has small tears in the top and left borders, a piece of cellophane tape on the reverse, corner bumps and bends, one corner chip, and a scratch in the image. Fine.

Charlotte Bronte's gothic novel is vividly brought to the screen in this excellent version directed by Robert Stevenson.

The Man from Monterey (Warner Brothers - First National, 1933). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Filmed several years before Wayne's breakout role in Stagecoach (1939), this was the last B Western the rising star would make for Warner Brothers. After this, he moved to Monogram where he made a number of fine films.

This wonderful stone litho poster had small crossfold separations, a tear in the bottom left corner, a tear in the bottom center that extends into the image area, edge tears in all the borders, and a tear in the top border that extends into the "W" in "Wayne." All of these minor issues have been addressed with professional restoration, making this a piece that any poster enthusiast will be proud to own. Very Fine- on Linen.

Red River (United Artists, R-1950s). French Grande (47" X 63").
Director Howard Hawks' first Western, this classic film - starring John Wayne, Montgomery Clift, and Joanne Dru - is considered one of the finest examples of the genre ever brought to the screen. The film was actually completed in 1946, but was held back for two years owing to legal problems with Howard Hughes, who claimed the picture was too similar to his controversial Western, The Outlaw (1943). The striking poster offered here shows pinholes in the corners, small edge tears, a crescent-shaped tear under the gun, crossfold separation, tape on the reverse, and a piece missing from the bottom left. In spite of these flaws, this is an extremely attractive and desirable poster, featuring fabulous images of both Wayne and Clift. Fine+.

The Sea Spoilers (Universal, 1936). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
In an effort to broaden his image beyond Westerns, John Wayne did a series of films for Universal in 1936-37, of which this was the first.

This exceedingly rare country-of-origin poster was used only for the Rome premiere and its limited run in that city. The number of these still existing is said to be less than a small handful! The poster had a small tear in the field on Eastwood's cheek, as well as a chip in his nose, and some fold wear. These issues having been addressed with restoration, this exciting find would surely be a premier piece for any collector. This item is from the collection of David Frangioni, collector and author of the film poster book, from Palace Press International entitled "Clint Eastwood: ICON". Very Fine on Linen.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (PEA, 1966). Italian Photobusta Set (10) (18.5" X 26.5").
In this, the third and last film in director Sergio Leone's "Dollars" trilogy, Clint Eastwood appears as Blondie ("The Good"), an itinerant gunslinger who teams up with Angel Eyes (Lee Van Cleef, "The Bad") and Tuco (Eli Wallach, "The Ugly") to find a fortune in gold. Shot in the deserts of Spain, the film was budgeted at a then-extravagant $1.6 million (as opposed to the mere $200,000 spent on 1964's A Fistful of Dollars).The incredible country-of-origin photobustas show pinholes in the corners, a vertical crease in the center, and edge tears, but these minor flaws do nothing to detract from the overwhelming eye appeal of this great set. Original Italian paper on these landmark titles is extremely hard to find; don't pass up this opportunity to add these beauties to your collection.

A Fistful of Dollars (United Artists, 1967). Australian Three Sheet (41" X 79").
Not the earliest Spaghetti Western (they'd been making them in Italy for years), but the first one to receive worldwide recognition, this was also the first installment to Sergio Leone's "Man With No Name" trilogy. After an intensive period of casting, the director's sixth choice, Clint Eastwood, finally accepted the role and the rest, as they say, is history. This iconic (and huge!) Aussie three sheet features Clint in his trademark poncho, rendered in vibrant, expressive artwork.

A Fistful of Dollars (United Artists, 1967). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
Copyright issues prevented Sergio Leone's groundbreaking Western from being released in the U.S. until 1967, but its impact was immediate and resounding: Fistful propelled Clint Eastwood to greater heights of stardom, and inspired two direct sequels, and a raft of imitators. Ennio Morricone's unforgettable score is one of his very best. This terrific half sheet had corner pinholes, and a small chip in the top right corner, all of which has been addressed with professional restoration.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (United Artists, 1968). British Quad (30" X 40").
"The Man With No Name" isn't particularly "good," in this classic Spaghetti Western from Sergio Leone, but he is smarter and faster than the "bad" (Lee Van Cleef) and the "ugly" (Eli Wallach) in the third and best of the Dollars trilogy. This nifty British quad had pinholes in the borders, and missing paper in the corners; in addition to addressing these problems, some overall restoration has been done to the poster, giving it a like-new appearance. Fine- on Linen.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (United Artists, 1968). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Eli Wallach star 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 highly desirable three sheet is in superb condition; only our strict policy of not awarding a higher grade than Very Fine+ for a poster mounted on linen keeps us from giving this gem an even higher grade.

The Magnificent Stranger (Unidas, 1966). Italian 2 - Folio (39" X 55").
To capitalize on the immense popularity of Clint Eastwood after the first of the Sergio Leone Spaghetti Westerns, A Fistful of Dollars, was released, this film was developed. It is a compilation from two episodes from the hit television show, Rawhide: "The Backshooter" and "Incident of the Running Man". This 2-folio has pinholes in the field and border, tears at the top edge, fold wear, and a smudge and tear in the lower right corner. There are extra creases in the left and right borders where they were once folded back, and there are two tax stamps in the top right corner. It has been mounted on linen, but only minimal restoration was done. The fantastically large image of the Western legend was designed by F. Fiorenzi. Fine+ on Linen.

Session 3
Love Happy (United Artists, R-1953). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
The final feature film to star all three Marx Brothers, this classic comedy was originally intended as a solo picture for Harpo. Backers wouldn't go for the idea, however, and insisted that Groucho and Chico join the cast. This reissue title card prominently features Marilyn Monroe - unlike the original release lobbies, which only featured her (uncredited) on one scene card. She played a beautiful blonde client of private detective Sam Grunion (Groucho). Corner pinholes and a small tear in the left borders were the only condition issues; these have been corrected, and restoration has been applied to the entire card. Very Fine- on Paper.

The Seven Year Itch (Atlas Film, R-1966). German A0 (33.5" X 46.5").
When it comes to iconic moments in movie history, few can compare with the image of Marilyn Monroe standing on a subway grate, as hot air rushes up into her skirt making it flutter about madly, while she vainly tries to retain her modesty. Equally iconic is Monroe's role as a kittenish ingénue who moves in next door to a businessman (Tom Ewell) whose family has just gone on vacation, leaving him all alone. This striking German reissue poster has fantastic artwork by Fischer Nosbisch. The poster had fold wear with separations and paper loss, and a long diagonal tear just off center, all of which has been addressed with professional restoration. Very Good/Fine on Linen.

Bus Stop (20th Century Fox, 1967). Polish A1 (22.75" x 32.75").
Marilyn Monroe had one of her best vehicles in this adaptation of the William Inge comedy.

This superb poster, for Bus Stop's first Polish release in 1967, features art by the great Janusz Rapnicki, which has a bit of a Saul Bass vibe to it, with great color.

The Prince and the Showgirl (Warner Brothers, 1957). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
Acclaimed British actor Laurence Olivier, (Sir Laurence Olivier, after being knighted in 1947) was always comfortable playing royalty.

Psycho (Paramount, 1960). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
Iconic master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock, created this legendary thriller that introduced audiences to a whole new dimension of fear, and left an indelible mark on the thriller genre. Anthony Perkins is superb as the nervous, meek, innkeeper Norman Bates who's been psychologically damaged by a domineering mother.

No other film has packed as much suspense, horror and psychological obsession as this one, and is considered the definitive Hitchcock picture. This dynamic three sheet has been linen backed, but not restored, with the only issues being light fold wear, a very small chip on the left border, and a Dutch censor stamp in the lower right corner. Very Fine- on Linen.

Alfred Hitchcock Lot (Warner Brothers, 1948-1954). Half Sheets (2) (22" X 28").
These two half sheets for Dial M For Murder and Rope have seen better days, but they'll make a terrific bargain for the Hitchcock lover on a budget. Dial M is paper-backed with heavy fold wear, tearing, and paper loss. Rope has water damage, pinholes with rust stains, tears and creasing in the borders. Despite the heavy wear, these posters both retain very good color, and should display nicely. Good+ on Paper.

Rope (MGM, R-1950s). British Quad (30" X 40").
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. This nifty reissue poster has a great image of Hitchcock, along with star Jimmy Stewart. With little if any condition problems, this earns the highest grade we allow for a linen-backed poster. Very Fine+ on Linen.

I Confess (Warner Brothers, 1953). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Alfred Hitchcock set this brilliant murder tale in a Catholic Church in Quebec. Montgomery Clift plays Father Logan, a priest who hears the confession of a murderer and is forbidden by his vows to go to the authorities, even though he is becoming the number one suspect. Adding to the priest's worries is his former girlfriend (Anne Baxter), who was blackmailed by the murder victim. A lesser known Hitchcock film, this one is just as well crafted and acted as his top titles and deserves much more critical acclaim. This one sheet had a tear at the bottom, a small chip in the lower left corner, and fold wear. It has been professionally restored and displays beautifully. Fine+ on Linen.

Saboteur (Universal, 1942). Argentinean One Sheet (29" X 43").
Director Alfred Hitchcock always had a dry sense of humor, so it was no surprise that he chose the Statue of Liberty for the final fight sequence between a Nazi saboteur and the man falsely accused of his crimes. Robert Cummings plays the hero on the run and Priscilla Lane in the love interest who gets caught up in his nightmare. This nifty Argentinean one sheet had pinholes in the borders, fold wear with crossfold separations, and a scuff mark in the image area, all of which has been addressed with professional restoration. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

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. Cary Grant is the gold digger and Joan Fontaine is the wealthy heiress who loves him, until she comes to believe that he's going to kill her for the inheritance. Fontaine won an Oscar for her performance (the only acting Oscar ever for a Hitchcock film) and Grant is surprisingly effective as the scoundrel. SUSPICION lives up to its title's promise, as a powerful psychological web is woven from fear, paranoia and uncertainty. A lovely lobby card with both stars, it has minimal damage with pinholes in the center image area, bottom and top borders. Any paper on this title is difficult to find, don't miss out on the opportunity to own this great card! Very Fine-.

Stage Fright (Warner Brothers, 1950). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Jane Wyman plays a scrappy acting student who becomes embroiled in a murder case that involves her friend Jonathan (Richard Todd) and the sultry stage star Charlotte (Marlene Dietrich). Although a suspense thriller, this Hitchcock film has far more humor than most thanks to Alastair Sim, who plays Wyman's eccentric father. The poster has cross fold separations, a crease and two light stains at the bottom, a few minor edge tears, and one pinhole and one staple hole at the top. Very Fine.

Rebecca (United Artists, R-1946). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Based on the novel by Daphne du Maurier, Alfred Hitchcock's first official American film took the Oscar for Best Picture. Laurence Olivier is brilliant as the tormented Max de Winter who appears to grieve deeply for his first wife, Rebecca. When Joan Fontaine, who plays the charming, naive second Mrs. De Winter, marries the handsome but troubled Maxim, she is pulled into a world of obsession, mystery, and murder. Judith Anderson is incredible as the ultimate screen villainess, in her Oscar nominated performance as the sinister housekeeper, Mrs. Danvers. The poster had fold wear and chips in the borders, issues which have been expertly addressed through professional restoration, making this a lovely addition to any collection. Fine+ on Linen.

Spellbound (United Artists, 1945). Lobby Cards (3) (11" X 14").
Alfred Hitchcock's obsession, in many of his previous films, with the psychology behind criminals and murderers led him to set this murder tale at a mental asylum. Only it is not the inmates who are causing problems here, rather it is the staff who are in need of psychological help. Ingrid Bergman, Gregory Peck, Michael Chekhov, and Leo G. Carroll all star in this taut suspense thriller with special effect designs by the surrealist Salvador Dalí. All of these fabulous cards have pinholes in the borders and light edge wear. One card has a blue smudge in the credits area, one has a tear at the top, and the other has smudges in the borders. Fine+.

Stage Fright (Warner Brothers, 1966). Polish A1 (23" X 33").
This frightening Polish poster for Alfred Hitchcock's 1950 crime thriller Stage Fright illustrates dramatically the wonderful abstract nature of Poland's artists. This particular artist, Marek Freudenreich, just 11 years old when Stage Fright was first released in the USA. He hand inked his art for the first Polish release of the film in 1966. Simplicity and black/white are usual themes found in Freudenreich's work and this poster is particularly striking in its concept. As with most Polish artists, it's a true example of how they simply drew what they felt in terms of the film's plot and style. There are small chips in the top and bottom left corners and in the top center, and slight edge wear. Folded, Fine+.

Both have very clean image areas and feature gorgeous shots of Rogers and Stewart. Fine/Very Fine.

In order to get his tabloid The New York Mercury off the ground, hard edged editor Bruce Corey (Edward G. Robinson) heads down a slippery slope by signing on gangster Merrill Lambert ( Edward Arnold) as his silent, "unholy partner," to secure the finances he needs.

Orr) has fallen for his girl, Gail (Marsha Hunt) than anything else, the gangster kidnaps Jarvis, leading Robinson's character to take matters into his own hands, which ultimately ends in a tense, highly dramatic conclusion. The condition of this good looking Swedish poster is impeccable. Rolled, Near Mint.

Tower of London (Universal, 1939). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
Loosely based on Shakespeare's Richard III, this moody melodrama was more a vehicle for Basil Rathbone than the highly-billed Boris Karloff, but Karloff's scenes are no less memorable for that fact. Condition issues include corner pinholes, fold wear with chips in the folds, and chips and tears in the borders, all of which have been addressed with professional restoration. Fine on Linen.

The Old Dark House (Universal, R-1939). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
After his star turn in Frankenstein (1931), Boris Karloff's next foray into the horror genre was this atmospheric chiller, directed by James Whale and co-starring Charles Laughton, Melvyn Douglas, Ernest Thesiger, and Raymond Massey. This gorgeous card, from an early reissue, has pinholes in the corners, surface paper loss in the top right, bends in two corners, and small tears in the right and bottom borders. These are minor flaws, however, and do nothing to detract from the overwhelming eye appeal of this vintage beauty. Fine+.

The Invisible Menace (Warner Brothers, 1938). One Sheet (27" X 41").
In this exceptional whodunit, Boris Karloff stars as Jevries, a man suspected of murdering an ordnance expert on a military base. But things aren't as straightforward as they appear, especially when newlyweds Pvt. Eddie (Eddie Craven) and Sally Wilson Pratt (Marie Wilson) get involved in the hunt for the killer. Based on a short-lived Broadway play, this was Karloff's second film with director John Farrow at Warner Brothers. The attractive one sheet offered here had tears in the borders, some extending into the image area, and missing paper in the borders. After expert professional restoration, however, this poster looks as good as new. Any Karloff fan would be proud to add this beauty to their collection. Very Good+ on Linen.

Dracula (Universal, R-1947). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
When Carl Laemmle Jr. green lit this adaptation of Bram Stoker's vampire classic, he could scarcely have foreseen the impact this movie would have on Hollywood history. The film that made an overnight superstar of Bela Lugosi also ushered in the Golden Age of Universal Horror, one of the most significant film movements of the 1930s and beyond. Not surprisingly, paper from this creepy classic is highly desirable. Offered here is an eerie lobby card from a re-release of this landmark film. It has pinholes in the borders and in the image area, some staining in the bottom right border, a small tear in the left border, and a chip in the bottom left corner, but is, overall, an extremely attractive piece.

S.O.S. Coast Guard (Republic, 1937). Lobby Card (11" X 14") Chapter Five - "The Mystery Ship."
Although a bit down on his luck by this point in his career, S.O.S. Coast Guard is actually a very good vehicle for Bela Lugosi's unique talents. Lugosi plays evil fiend "Boroff" (obviously derived from "Boris Karloff," which must have given the star pause), who is trying to sell off his "disintegration gas" to the highest bidder. Corner pinholes, a light bend in the bottom left corner, and a light border smudge are the only condition issues on this nice unrestored lobby. Very Fine-.

Peeping Tom (Astor, 1960). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
Mark Lewis (Carl Boehm) isn't just a serial killer, he's a serial killer with a camera, and his obsession is recording on film the dying expressions of his unfortunate victims. The half sheet offered here is extremely rare; in almost ten years of vintage movie poster auctions, we've never seen another copy. This particular example has pinholes in the corners, light smudging in the right side, a chip in the left border with paper tape on the reverse, a small chip in the bottom left corner, and small edge tears in the right border. These are all minor flaws, however, none of which detract from the overwhelming desirability of this scarce piece. Fine/Very Fine.

With a fairly progressive script by Martin Varno, this Roger Corman quickie features an excellent build-up giving way to a somewhat disappointing monster costume, with good performances and some of Corman's better directorial touches. This awesome poster is the very definition of "lurid," and we love it. Corner pinholes are the only condition issues to note. Very Fine+ on Linen.

Santo y Blue Demon contra Dracula y el Hombre Lobo (Cinematográfica Calderón S.A., 1973) and La Veganza de la Llorona (Cinematográfica Calderón S.A., 1974). Mexican One Sheets (2) (27" X 37").
Santo teams up with the Blue Demon and "Mantequilla" Napoles to battle Dracula, the Wolfman and a Mummy, in these classic luchadores films. In superb condition, particularly considering the fragility of the paper upon which these posters are printed, only a small stain in the top left corner and some light wear in the bottom left and right corners on the La Veganza poster keep this rare lot from an even higher grade. Very Fine/Near Mint.

Santo - who was, in reality, Rodolfo Guzman Huerta - was one of the greatest Luchador enmascaderos (masked wrestlers) of all time, with a career that spanned nearly 50 years. In 1952, the Santo comic book debuted, and in 1958, the first of more than 50 Santo films was released. Offered here are two wonderful examples of posters from these classic films. The Santo vs. the Zombies poster shows pinpoint crossfold separation, which the Santo vs. the Vampire Women poster has edge wear and a light stain in the top left corner. In wonderful condition, especially considering the fragile paper on which Mexican posters were typically printed, these are a rare find indeed. Very Fine.

Santo in the Wax Museum (Filmadora Panamericana,1963) and Santo and the Treasure of Dracula (Cinematográfica Calderón S.A,1969). Mexican One Sheets (2) (27" X 37").
Part superhero, part James Bond, part wrestling icon, El Santo was a hero to Mexican children for decades, and made a plethora of films in his day, most of them an unsubtle blend of action, comedy, and lurid melodrama. Offered here are a pair of terrific country-of-origin Mexican one sheets for two of his monster-based entries. In Santo and the Treasure of Dracula (El Vampiro y el Sexo) (Cinematográfica Calderón S.A, 1969), El Santo goes back in time to old Transylvania to meet the Vampire Lord, while Santo in the Wax Museum (Santo en el Museo de Cera) (Filmadora Panamericana, 1963) pits him against the Wolf Man and Frankenstein's Monster in the titular gallery. Both sheets have edge wear with extensive chipping, while the Dracula poster has a tear in the top right corner and pinpoint crossfold separations. Very Fine-.

Blue Demon: The Invasion of the Dead (Azteca, 1973) and Wrestling Woman vs. the Mad Doctor (Cinematográfica Calderón S.A., 1963). Mexican One Sheets (2) (27" X 37").
Mexican Wrestling fans, your attention please! This lot of two super-cool one sheets includes Blue Demon: Invasion of the Dead (La Invasion de los Muertos) (Azteca, 1973) and Wrestling Women vs. the Mad Doctor (Las Luchadoras Contra el Médico Asesino) (Cinematográfica Calderón S.A., 1963). Invasion of the Dead is often hailed as the Mexican version of Night of the Living Dead, and started out as a vehicle for renaissance man Professor Zovek (a "real deal" athlete who was a boxer, swimmer, and escape artist), but Zovek was killed in a helicopter crash midway through production, so the producers brought in the famous movie wrestler Blue Demon to complete the project. Both posters have some fold separations and small edge tears, with archival tape on the reverse, while the Wrestling Women poster has a tear at the top and bottom, and some edge chipping. Both posters retain great color and have eye-popping graphics. Very Fine-.

The Mexican horror film has a long tradition, dating back to the mid-1930s. Offered here are three great posters, from some of the genre's most striking films.

The Exorcist (Warner Brothers, 1974). Studio Release One Sheet (27" X 41").
This is the seminal horror film of the 1970s, which made a household name of Linda Blair and formed a benchmark for cinematic horror for an entire generation.

As the name would imply, this poster was issued directly by the studio rather than through National Screen Service. A crease in the top right corner is the only thing keeping this sublime example from perfection. From the collection of Kirk Hammett. Near Mint.

Another top film from horror masters Hammer Studios, Peter Cushing returns as Dr. Van Helsing, who arrives at a girl's school to battle vampire Baron Meinster (David Peel), not the Dracula of the title.

House of Usher (American International, 1960). One Sheet (27" X 41").

The inset photo in the lower right corner features the depiction of one of the 6 inch doll people that Lionel Barrymore has created for his revenge against those that wronged him. Only very minor corner bumps detract from a near perfect card. Very Fine/Near Mint.

Vampyr (Star Films, 1932). German Program (Eight Pages).
Almost eighty years after its release, few horror films have matched the mesmerizing creepiness of Carl Theodor Dryer's Vampyr. Though a sound film, Vampyr was shot using many silent film techniques, and very little dialogue is used to convey the story of a remote village plagued by supernatural creatures that compel the residents to commit suicide. This rarely-seen German program book has fantastic images from the film. There is a slight spine split at the bottom, light edge wear, and a faint horizontal fold, but otherwise the booklet is in very crisp condition. From the collection of Kirk Hammett. Very Fine.

The Beast with 1,000,000 Eyes! (American Releasing Corp., 1955). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
This is one of those instances where the title and the ad campaign were created and sold before the movie was ever made, which won't surprise anyone who's actually seen it. But the artwork of the snarling, tentacle-faced critter (by renowned artist Albert Kallis) that dominated the posters was certainly eye-catching, as was the scantily-clad woman in distress. Offered here is the amazing half sheet. The poster had fold wear and corner pinholes, and a small chip in the left border, all of which has been smoothed out with professional restoration. The linen backing has been trimmed to the poster edge. Very Fine on Linen.

All minor issues that do not detract from the striking image. Fine/Very Fine.

Planet of the Apes (20th Century Fox, 1968). French Grande (47" X 63").
A highly personal project for producer Arthur P. Jacobs (who would later real the rewards of many sequels) who spearheaded this legendary project through many rejections. There were many concept paintings done, and even short promotional film with Edward G. Robinson in test make-up as Dr. Zauis before the project was greenlit. Most purists agree, this gorgeous French grande, with its vivid Mascii artwork, is by far the best paper on this title, with a great image of Heston being snared by gorilla soldiers. Edge wear with tiny tears, fold wear with a couple of small chips, and crossfold separations are the only condition issues to note on this terrific unrestored poster. Very Fine-.

Rocketship X-M (Lippert, 1950). One Sheet (27" X 41").
A group of astronauts (Lloyd Bridges, Osa Massen, John Emery, Noah Beery Jr., and Hugh O'Brien) blast off from Earth to explore the Moon, but quickly find out they've gone astray and end up on Mars! While exploring the Red Planet, our heroes find evidence of a Martian civilization, destroyed as a result of atomic war. Rushed into production to compete with George Pal's Destination Moon (1950), this space-faring epic actually made it to theaters first. Consequently, it became the first film of the sound era to involve space travel. The highly desirable poster offered here has pinholes in the corners and in the field, light staining in all the borders, tape on reverse at the fold lines, extra creasing, and a tear in the left border, but presents very nicely and will make a fine addition to any collection. Fine-.

The screenplay, by Sam Rolfe (later the creator of Have Gun Will Travel) was Oscar-nominated. This terrific one sheet had corner pinholes, small chips in the left border, and fold wear with crossfold separations, all of which has been addressed with professional restoration. Very Fine- on Linen.

The Bad and the Beautiful (MGM, 1953). Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style A.
This no-holds-barred expose about the dark underbelly of Hollywood stars Kirk Douglas as ruthless movie mogul Jonathan Shields whose studio needs a blockbuster to keep from sinking. Shields has the perfect recipe for that. If he could just sign actress Gloria Lorrison (Lana Turner), writer James Lee Bartlow (Dick Powell), and director Fred Amiel (Barry Sullivan) to make his film, a hit would be in the bag. There's a slight snag: having abused and betrayed each of them in the past, they all despise the soulless Shields.

Touch Of Evil (Universal International, 1958). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
Another technical masterpiece from writer-director-actor Orson Welles, this film noir classic is easily one of the most influential films to come out of the 1950s. A dark, gripping tale of good and evil, the film was widely regarded as unorthodox and completely outrageous when it was released. With such controversial themes of racism, sexual ambiguity, drugs, and police corruption, the conservative general public of 1958 found it more than a little racy. The story of Mike Vargas (Charlton Heston), a Mexican cop recently married to the lovely Susan (Janet Leigh), and local police chief Hank Quinlan (Welles), who will do anything to maintain his perfect arrest record is an undeniable cult favorite. Paper on this title is always desirable, and this half sheet that had only light fold wear prior to restoration is no exception. Very Fine on Linen.

Andy Warhol's Lonesome Cowboys (Sherpix, 1968). German A1 (23" X 33").
With this film, noted cult artist/surrealist/media commentator Andy Warhol had his way with the American Western.

Widely considered one of the greatest serials ever filmed, this classic chapterplay stars Henry Brandon as the insidious Dr. Fu Manchu, the evil genius and mad scientist created by author Sax Rohmer.

Batman (20th Century Fox, 1966). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
The perfect distillation of the campy TV series, this was originally intended to be the pilot, but was eventually released between the first and second seasons. The TV producers, in fact, took advantage of the larger budget to create some expensive vehicles such as the Batcopter and the Batboat, which they then continued to use in the series. A wonderfully colorful humorous take on the Caped Crusader. This sublime half-sheet features all the key villains as well as the Dynamic Duo. Pinholes in the corners and folding were the only condition problems, which have been addressed with excellent professional restoration. Very Fine on Paper.

Flash Gordon (Universal, 1980). Advance Poster (17" X 22").
Shot through with a sardonic wit and outrageous production design, this sly, gaudy take on Flash Gordon didn't find much of an audience on its initial release, but has garnered a cult following in the ensuing years.

It was co-star Timothy Dalton, however, who went on to an A-list career, while old hand Max Von Sydow makes for an unforgettable Ming the Merciless. Prepared by the De Laurentis company prior to release to solicit for foreign sales of the film, this unusual poster features black-and-white artwork by legendary comic book artist Al Williamson, depicting various exciting scenes from the film. A light corner crease in the top right is the only condition issue to note. This is the only copy we have ever seen of this rare poster! Rolled, Near Mint+.

The Diamond from the Sky (Mutual, 1915). Lobby Cards (10) (8" X 10") and Promo Card (3.5" X 5.5").
A very early serial - now presumed lost - the lead role in this 30-part epic was originally offered to Mary Pickford at a then-unheard of salary of $4,000 per week. She turned them down, but not before suggesting her sister Lottie for the high-profile part. In spite of Lottie's well-known problems with alcohol, and a pregnancy that became increasingly obvious as filming went on, she was given the role by the American "Flying A" Company of Santa Barbera, CA, and filming began under former cameraman Jacques Jaccard. When Jaccard realized he was in over his head, William Desmond Taylor stepped in, bringing the production in on time and under budget. The serial was an immense success, spawning a sequel that was released in the following year. Offered here are ten lobby cards from various chapters of this landmark chapterplay. They all have pinholes in the corners; one card shows some wrinkling, while another has corner bends and some light rust stains. Also included in this lot is an extremely attractive portrait card of Lottie Pickford in superb condition. Any fan of silent serials will certainly covet this lot. Very Fine-.

A Fistful of Dollars (United Artists, 1967). Lobby Card Set of 8 (11" X 14").
Director Sergio Leone was obviously so impressed with Akira Kurosawa's samurai epic Yojimbo (1961) that he decided to appropriate the story and transplant it to the American West for this film, which would become the first of the so-called Spaghetti Westerns. Kurosawa sued for breach of copyright, won, and was awarded 15% of Fistful's worldwide gross, as well as exclusive distribution rights for Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea. Kurosawa later commented that he made more money off his piece of Fistful then he ever made from Yojimbo! As one of Clint Eastwood's classic films, paper from this title is always in high demand. The lobby card set offered here is a real treasure; the cards all have pinholes in the corners, a very light corner bend in the top left, and small corner bumps, but these minor flaws are only apparent under close examination. An attractive set, these cards present very nicely, and will make a fabulous addition to any collection. Very Fine.
