This is an original British One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Laurence Olivier Shakespearean masterpiece, RICHARD III (1955). In addition to Olivier directing and playing the title role, he is joined by four other knighted British thespians—Cedric Hardwicke, Ralph Richardson, John Gielgud, and Stanley Baker. The beautiful and talented Claire Bloom plays The Lady Anne. This is probably the finest example of a Machiavellian monarch on film. King Richard was capable of using deception, manipulation, and outright murder to achieve his goals. Laurence Olivier was the greatest Shakespearean actor of his time, and this role was certainly one of his best. This original British stone lithograph one sheet poster is linen-backed and in fine condition with some touch-up to the fold lines and restoration to the border area.

Original Universal Pictures Scene Lobby Card (11×14) for the Erle C. Kenton horror fantasy, THE GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN (1942) starring Cedric Hardwicke, Ralph Bellamy, Bela Lugosi, and Lon Chaney Jr. (as the monster). This was the fourth movie in the Universal Frankenstein series. Boris Karloff played the monster in the first three movies, but Lon Chaney Jr. took over the role in this film. Lugosi reprises his role of Ygor from the third installment, and Cedric Hardwicke plays Ludwig, the son of the original Dr. Frankenstein. In this installment of the famous monster series, Ygor resurrects the monster and brings him to Ludwig for help. Ludwig decides to replace the monster’s criminal brain with the brain of his most recent victim, a noble doctor. But Ygor manipulates Ludwig’s colleague into substituting Ygor’s brain instead. This original lobby card is in very fine to near mint condition.
