SYNANON (1965) 20583

full.synanon-6sh-20583

Original Columbia Pictures Six Sheet Poster (81×81) for the Richard Quine drama, SYNANON (1965) starring Edmond O’Brien, Chuck Connors, Stella Stevens, and Alex Cord. Synanon House was a rehab center for heroin addicts at a time when there were really few avenues of any kind of help for addicts. Director Richard Quine took his cast to a Synanon House in Santa Monica, California to make this film about addicts and their struggle. The story follows the path of an two addicts who meet and fall in love. Their outcomes, are, predictably, different. The film did little business in 1965. The forward nature of the film, as exemplified by this six sheet poster may be a clue as to why. Nevertheless, the movie is a pointer to more films in the seventies and beyond about the taboo subject of drug addiction. The poster is folded but in near mint, never used condition. Six sheets are large posters and this poster is printed on four separate panels which are joined together for display.

STAGECOACH (1966) 5457

full.stagecoach-1sh-5457

Original 20th Century-Fox One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Gordon Douglas western, STAGECOACH (1966) starring Ann-Margret, Red Buttons, Mike Connors, Alex Cord, and Bing Crosby. This film is a remake of the 1939 John Ford classic of the same name; indeed, this new version uses the original 1939 Dudley Nichols screenplay. The story is about a group of unlikely traveling companions on the same stagecoach to Cheyenne. Even though they all have secrets, they discover that they must work together to stay alive when they are set upon first by Indians and then by a family of outlaws. The cast is well chosen, and they all give excellent and believable performances. Young Ann-Margret is quite memorable as the sultry-but-sweet Dallas, a fallen woman who would love a chance at redemption. This is also Bing Crosby’s last film, a non-singing role as a disgraced, alcoholic doctor. Norman Rockwell had done a series of portraits of the characters for the main titles of the film and these were used on the posters. For his work he was rewarded with a small cameo in the movie – the only time he ever appeared in a film. With the artwork by Rockwell, this original one sheet is in very fine condition.
