Rebel Without a Cause (Warner Brothers, 1955). One Sheet (27" X 41"). The title alone summed up a generation of youth without direction, and their patron saint was James Dean.

Grand Hotel (MGM, 1932). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14"). MGM pulled out all the stops in the first of their star-studded features.

There was scepticism initially that by putting all of their stars in one picture, Greta Garbo, John and Lionel Barrymore, Joan Crawford, Wallace Beery that they (the studio) might lose money, instead of spreading the stars out over 5 or 6 pictures. With its financial and critical success, the way was open to produce many similar films.

The Postman Always Rings Twice (MGM, 1946). Half Sheet (22" x 28"). James M. Cain's shocking crimer told a gritty story of a drifter who starts work in a diner and soon begins an affair with the owner's wife.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (United Artists, 1968). One Sheet (27" X 41"). Though shot as the final installment of the Leone/ Eastwood "spaghetti western" trilogy, this film was the prequel of the previous two films. Beginning with 10 minutes of film with no dialogue, this tale of the man with no name was destined to be a classic of international cinema. Clint Eastwood, star of TVs "Rawhide," took these roles offered to him by Leone since no studio would hire him for feature work. The studios felt that no one would pay to see an actor they could see for free. Eastwood, in collaboration with Leone, would create a character that would establish his stardom for the next half century. Very Fine/ Near Mint on Linen.

Don's Fountain of Youth (RKO, 1953). One Sheet (27" X 41"). Three years after this cartoon short was made, Disney would stop producing the cartoons on which his empire was built. Donald had come up from a supporting character with his debut in 1935's "The Wise Little Hen" to become Disney's top character by 1940, surpassing Mickey Mouse in popularity. The star duck continued his reign through the forties and into the fifties with Mickey never regaining his top position.

Uncle Tom's Cabin (Universal, 1927). One Sheet (24" X 38") & (8) Card Lobby Set (11" X 14"). 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.

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 lot contains posters from the 1927 talkie version of the classic novel by Harriet Beecher Stowe. It was directed by Harry Pollard and starred his wife, Margarita Fisher, as the tragic Eliza.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Allied Artists, 1956). One Sheet (27" X 41"). As the "red scare" swept the nation during the 1950s, feelings of paranoia overwhelmed the populace that they would be "taken over" by communists. The filmmakers of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" played upon this fear by using space pods as a metaphor for communists. This poster also plays on these psychological fears using a "red" background and a huge hand (fivers -- a reference to fifth columnists, communist spies) reaching for the fleeing citizens!

It's a Wonderful Life (RKO, 1946). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14"). Frank Capra and Jimmy Stewart both claimed this to be their favorite film.

Originally a huge box office flop, it's public domain status made it available for TV audiences in the 70's and the rest is history. The story of Harry Bailey's (Stewart) life-affirming look at the world without him through the often fumbled efforts of his guardian angel, Clarence Oddbody (a perfect casting in Henry Travers), this title card is a genuine treat for Stewart fans.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Allied Artists, 1956). Three Sheet (41" X 81"). This is Don Siegel's low budget sci-fi genre masterpiece about body-transforming space spores who are intent upon taking control of the human race one body at a time. Its original working title was "They came from Another World." A prologue, new ending, and voice-over narration was added shortly after the film's initial release to help the moviegoers keep up with its non-linear plotline. "Body Snatchers" is often thought of as a Hollywood metaphor for the McCarthy tyranny that gripped America in the 50's. The tagline for the film, "They're here! They're coming for you !! You're next !!," sums it up. A terrific, memorable image centerpieces this ultra clean, linen-backed three sheet. Very Fine+ Linen Backed.

Touch of Evil (Universal,1958). One Sheet (27" X 41"). Orson Welles was black-balled in Hollywood after the release of "Citizen Kane" and was given very little opportunity to direct. This film-noir masterpiece was directed 17 years after "Kane" but the film's impact showed that the trendsetter hadn't lost his touch. Very Fine/Near Mint.

Dirty Harry (Warner Brothers, 1971). Three Sheet (41" X 81"). This rare three sheet to the Eastwood classic has minor problems such as misfolding and slight stains. There is nothing here that a good cleaning and linen backing would not cure and this poster would make a tremendous addition to any "Dirty Harry" collection. Fine.

King of Kings (Pathe', 1927). Lobby Card Set (8) (11" X 14"). Considered by some to be the best cinematic telling of the story of Christ, this Cecil B. DeMille epic was constructed with deep attention to detail and magnificent cinematography. The movie deals with the life of Christ and his ministry on Earth. Intelligently told, the film has many deeply moving moments such as the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus' healing of the lame and his crucifixion on the cross. One of the cards here is a beautiful portrait of a pre-"Hoppy" William Boyd as Simon of Cyrene. Offered here is a complete set of 8 gorgeous lobby cards from the original release of this DeMille classic. Very Fine/Near Mint. (Total: 8 pieces)

The Stolen Bride (First National, 1927). One Sheet (27" X 41"). Billie Dove, who gained popularity as a Ziegfeld girl, starred in this movie at the height of her career in the late 1920s. Dove was certainly considered Florenz Ziegfeld's most beautiful girl. As a star of stage and screen, Dove was hailed the "American Beauty." In this film she portrays a Hungarian countess who falls in love with a soldier in the Hapsburg army. This wonderful stone lithograph gives a stunning portrait of the dark-eyed, wavy-haired Ms. Dove. Very Fine.

Happiness Ahead (First National, 1928). One Sheet (27" X 41"). This is from the 1928 First National Pictures melodrama about life and love through the eyes of cutey, Colleen Moore. The one sheet is a terrific example of the radiant Morgan lithos produced during the 20's and 30's. It pictures a head shot of our heroine complete with a bob period hairdo against a rich azure background. Very Fine.

Freaks (MGM, R-1949). One Sheet (27" X 41"). This film, which actually used circus sideshow "freaks" in its cast, was considered so horrific when it was originally released in 1932, that MGM quickly pulled the film from distribution and spent the next thirty years distancing themselves as far from the project as possible. Original material for this classic horror film is exceedingly scarce and in constant demand. This re-release one sheet is a nice alternative. Fine on Linen.
