TEXASVILLE (1990) 3928

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Original Columbia Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Peter Bogdanovich drama, TEXASVILLE (1990) starring Jeff Bridges, Cybill Shepherd, Cloris Leachman, Timothy Bottoms, and Annie Potts. The film is the sequel to the astonishingly original and iconic THE LAST PICTURE SHOW (1971), except it is now thirty years later than the events chronicled in the first film. Like the original film, this one is more character study about “real” people—weird and flawed. Indeed, all the teenage characters from the first film seem to have never grown-up. There is one new character, Duane’s wife played by Annie Potts, who literally steals the show. Many critics have commented that the film is not really capable of standing on its own. If you have never seen THE LAST PICTURE SHOW, you may very well feel like you have walked into the middle of the story. This original one sheet poster is folded and in very fine condition.

THE LAST PICTURE SHOW (1971) 2042

Original Columbia Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Peter Bogdanovich iconic drama, THE LAST PICTURE SHOW (1971) starring Timothy Bottoms, Jeff Bridges, Cybill Shepherd, Ben Johnson, Cloris Leachman, and Ellen Burstyn. This film is a timeless masterpiece of the lives of ordinary folks in a small Texas town in the 1950s. Perceptive but melancholy—this outstanding character study is at the top of the list of many film critics for one of the great American films. The movie has many superlative qualities—a beautiful and poetic screenplay by Larry McMurtry and Bogdanovich, the skillful direction of Bogdanovich, bleak stunning cinematography by Robert Surtees, and career best performances by almost the entire cast. The film was nominated for 8 Academy Awards—including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Supporting Actor for Bridges, and Best Supporting Actress for Burstyn. Johnson and Leachman deservedly won the Oscars for Best Supporting Actor/ Actress for truly unforgettable performances. This original one sheet poster is folded and in very fine condition. Minor browning at the fold lines, as is so often apparent on posters with white backgrounds.

HIGH ANXIETY (1977) 5555

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Original Polish Poster (26×37) for the Mel Brooks comedy, HIGH ANXIETY (1977) starring Mel Brooks, Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman, Harvey Korman, Dick Van Patten, Charlie Callas and Jack Riley. Director Brooks plays Dr. Richard Thorndyke, psychologist and chief of staff of the “Psychoneurotic Institute for the Very, VERY Nervous.” A bizarre, suspenseful and wildly comic plot ensues parodying the great Alfred Hitchcock, San Francisco-centric films from THE BIRDS to VERTIGO. The design for this Polish poster features a fittingly silly silhouette of Brooks as he comically squats and hunts his prey — a murderous fiend. Art on this poster is by Jakub Erol. Very Fine.

DILLINGER (1973) 9334

full.dillinger-1sh-9334

Original American International Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the John Milius crime biography, DILLINGER (1973)– starring Warren Oates, Ben Johnson, Michelle Phillips, and Cloris Leachman. Written and Directed by John Milius, this film about the gangster John Dillinger has little to offer in the way of accuracy. Dillinger was the subject of several films, but this one seems to have totally fantasized the subject. The movie is lavishly mounted with lots of antique cars and costumes. The wonderful Warren Oates plays Dillinger, but is largely wasted. This poster shows Oates with his machine gun. Very good condition with a some rumpling.

Original 20th Century-Fox Half Sheet Poster (22×28) for the Mel Brooks comedy thriller, HIGH ANXIETY (1977) starring Brooks, Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman, and Harvey Korman.

This original half sheet poster is folded and in fine plus condition.
