KRAKATOA EAST OF JAVA (1969) 20487

Original Cinerama Releasing Corp Window Card (14×22) for the Bernard L. Kowalski adventure drama, KRAKATOA: EAST OF JAVA (1969)—starring Maximillian Schell, Diane Baker, Brian Keith, and Barbara Werle. The producers learned of the geographic error—Krakatoa was really WEST of Java in the Sundra Strait—only after all the advertising and publicity materials had already been prepared. It was decided that it would be too costly to correct this error. While the effects surrounding the eruption are good and garnered the film its only Oscar nomination for Best Special Visual Effects— the acting, dialogue, and directing are lackluster at best. Kowalski was basically a TV director, and he never really uses the “big” screen, let alone Cinerama, to its full potential. The window card has the Cinerama fan-fold logo and a hand written announcement in the play-date area. Otherwise, the window card is in very good condition.

Original National General Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Charles Marquis Warren western, CHARRO! (1969) starring Elvis Presley, Ina Balin, Victor French, and Barbara Werle. This film was intended to be a totally different kind of role for Elvis. Except for singing the title song over the opening credits, Elvis does not sing any other songs in the film. Elvis plays a gunfighter who decides to go straight but his old gang pulls him back in to steal a cannon, which is a priceless gem from the Mexican Revolution. Besides Elvis playing a serious dramatic role, the film also has a good supporting cast, a decent script, beautiful cinematography, and a great musical score. Originally folded, this one sheet poster is in good condition only. Has a hole in the upper right; appropriate for linen backing. Ask us about linen backing and restoration.
