Original Belgian Poster (13×21) for the Henry Hathaway war drama, SUNDOWN (1941) starring Gene Tierney, Bruce Cabot, and George Sanders.

Original Belgian Poster (14×22) for the James Edward Grant romantic western, ANGEL AND THE BADMAN (1947) starring John Wayne, Gail Russell, Harry Carey, and Bruce Cabot. In this first film produced by Wayne, he plays a gunslinger and Russell plays a Quaker woman. When Wayne gets wounded in a bank robbery, he ends up knocking at the door and is nursed back to health by her. Wayne gives one of the best performances of his career, and Russell’s natural “angelic” qualities are memorable as well. Beautiful art on this Belgian poster. Linen-backed and in very fine plus condition.

Original Argentinean Reissued One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Merian Cooper and Ernest Schoedsack monster masterpiece, KING KONG (1933) starring Fay Wray, Robert Armstrong, and Bruce Cabot. This film is one of the most influential movies in film history; indeed, every “monster” movie since owes something to KING KONG. When film director Carl Denham (Armstrong) hires unemployed New York actress Ann Darrow (Wray) to star in his new picture, he takes her to the remote Skull Island where, according to legend, there lives an awesome god-like beast named Kong. Ann is kidnapped by the natives and offered as a sacrifice to Kong, but Denham captures Kong and takes him back to America to shamelessly parade him before the amazed masses. Decades ahead of its time, the film is still fascinating today even with all the great achievements in special effects developed since its making. The visual imagery is complemented beautifully by one of the first feature length musical scores by Max Steiner, which conveys Kong’s complex emotional state, especially in the exciting finale atop the Empire State Building. This original linen-backed stone lithograph one sheet is stunningly beautiful and in fine plus condition. Some small tears have been repaired, but no paper is missing. We recommend re-backing the poster.
