Original British Set of 8 Front of House Cards (8×10) for the Billy Wilder musical comedy, THE EMPEROR WALTZ (1948) starring Bing Crosby, Joan Fontaine, Roland Culver, Lucile Watson, and Richard Haydn.

The film received Academy Award nominations for Best Costume Design and Best Musical Score for Victor Young.

Original Paramount Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Michael Curtiz all-time Christmas favorite, WHITE CHRISTMAS (1954) starring Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney, and Vera-Ellen. All of the performances were wonderful, and Irving Berlin’s score was about half new songs and half from previous scores. Crosby is charming, witty, and utterly delightful. Danny Kaye is hilarious, and Clooney is riveting as the older of the two Haynes sisters. Vera-Ellen as the younger sister is also wonderful and performs some unbelievably good dancing. Of course, Crosby sang “White Christmas” in an earlier Paramount musical, HOLIDAY INN (1942) also scored by Irving Berlin. Indeed, Berlin won the Academy Award for Best Original Song that year and was nominated for Best Original Song for “Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep” in WHITE CHRISTMAS. This was also the first film done in Paramount’s new wide screen process called VistaVision. This original one sheet poster is linen-backed, fully restored, and in very fine condition.

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.
