Original Paramount Pictures Six Sheet Poster (81×81) for the Stuart Rosenberg political drama, WUSA (1970)—starring Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, and Anthony Perkins. Adapted from the Robert Stone novel, “Hall of Mirrors,” the story involves a cynical drifter (Newman) who gets a job as an announcer for a right-wing radio station in New Orleans. At first he is content to parrot the station’s reactionary editorial stance, but then he begins to be challenged by his lady friend (Woodward) and a troubled idealist (Perkins), who have become aware of WUSA’s secret and sinister political agenda. With excellent performances by everyone in the cast, this political melodrama was clearly related to the passions and disappointments of the 1968 general election. This original one sheet poster is folded and in very fine condition.

Original New World Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Ken Russell romantic thriller, CRIMES OF PASSION (1984) starring Kathleen Turner, Anthony Perkins, Bruce Davison, and Gordon Hunt. Kathleen Turner plays a prim sportswear designer by day and a sizzling hooker named “China Blue” by night. Ken Russell, the enfant terrible of the BBC in the late sixties went on the direct many films in the 1970s including the film version of TOMMY. Kathleen Turner continued to exploit the highly charged sexual character she played so well in films like BODY DOUBLE. This one sheet is folded, but in very fine to near mint condition.

Original Paramount Pictures 1965 Re-Release One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Alfred Hitchcock horror-thriller masterpiece, PSYCHO (1960)—starring Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, and John Gavin. Considered by many critics to be the best horror movie of all time, this film was superlative in every way. Starting with one of the best screenplays by Joseph Stefano based on the novel by Robert Bloch– the acting is perfect, the cinematography of John L. Russell is beautiful, and the soundtrack by Bernard Herrmann is exceptional. However, the outstanding direction by Hitchcock is the crowning touch of this great film. The handling of every nuance—gestures, glances, and sudden changes in lighting—is masterful. The acting by Janet Leigh has often been praised, but the performance by Anthony Perkins with his facial tics and half-swallowed words is subtle, cool, unsettling, and just plain creepy. Prior to PSYCHO, horror movies were monsters, zombies, werewolves, and vampires. This film was the first true “psychological thriller.” Though we have become jaded with legions of realistic gore since this movie was released, seeing a nude woman murdered in the shower was something no one had experienced yet in 1960. The 1965 re-release poster incorporates some of the design of the original one sheet and may in fact be rarer than the original. Folded. Very fine condition.

This original one sheet poster is folded and in very fine plus condition.
