We think of Charlton Heston as the Moses Of The Movies, but his peer Burt Lancaster played Moses as well in the CBS Television mini series, MOSES THE LAWGIVER, done in 1974. This was a prestigious effort on the part of CBS. Joseph E. Levine released a two hour theatrical version as MOSES in 1976. Blessed with a competent cast, the movie is no THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, but the story relies on character development and biblical detail to move it along. The mini series version, which one might be able to catch on a cable movie channel, is the better version to watch as the theatrical release is a bit truncated. Also starrring Anthony Quayle, Ingrid Thulin and Irene Papas. Directed by Gianfranco De Bosio. This poster is folded a bit irregularly, so we have graded it as fine plus. Otherwise in very fine shape.

Original Polish Poster (25×35 ) for the Anthony Mann epic, THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE (1964) starring Sophia Loren, Stephen Boyd, Alec Guinness, James Mason, Christopher Plummer, Anthony Quayle, Omar Sharif, John Ireland, Mel Ferrer, Eric Porter and Finlay Currie. Producer Samuel Bronston literally re-created ancient Rome in order to present its fall, politically, socially and economically in this Ultra Panavision 70MM production that came in at an estimated budget of $19M in 1960s money. Filmed primarily at the Bronston Studios in Spain, this international production was First Class all the way with magnificent cinematography, a lush orchestral score by Dmitri Tiomkin and Mann’s solid direction. The production team even replicated the Roman Forum down to the smallest detail. The artwork on this Polish poster is quite modern and depicts the armored head of a fallen centurion very much in the style of a contemporary fresco. Art is by Wiktor Gorka. Very Fine Plus.

Original Warner Bros. Scene Lobby Card (11×14) for the Alfred Hitchcock crime drama, THE WRONG MAN (1956) starring Henry Fonda, Vera Miles, Anthony Quayle, and Harold J. Stone. This film tells the true story of Manny Balestrero (Fonda), a club musician unjustly accused of an armed robbery. Though Manny vehemently protest his innocence, his actions at every turn seem to belie his guilt. Instead of the usual Hitchcock cameo appearance, the director narrates the prologue, the only time he actually spoke in any of his films. Fonda gives an excellent performance of the quietly stunned Manny who slowly descends into total helplessness and powerlessness as he wends his way through the criminal justice system. This original scene card is in very good condition, with only minor edge wear and some pinholes.
