Original 20th-Century Fox Insert Poster (14×36) for the Otto Preminger film-noir masterpiece, LAURA (1944) starring Gene Tierney, Dana Andrews, Clifton Webb, and Vincent Price. One of the best Hollywood movies of the 1940s and certainly one of the best film-noir movies of all time, Tierney gives an outstanding performance as the title character—a woman who seems to bewitch every man she meets, including the police detective (Andrews) who is investigating her murder. The film received five Academy Award nominations—including Best Director for Preminger and Best Supporting Actor for Webb. Joseph LaShelle won the Oscar for Best Cinematography. This insert poster was folded originally, but has been stored flat for some time. The poster is signed by three of the principal stars of the film– Gene Tierney, Vincent Price and Dana Andrews. A very singular poster for any noir collector. While the overall condition of the poster is very good plus, it is an excellent candidate for paper or linen-backing. Own a poster signed by the actress who played one of the most famous roled in all of film-noir history, Gene Tierney.

Original RKO One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Elliott Nugent musical comedy, UP IN ARMS (1944) starring Danny Kaye, Dinah Shore, Dana Andrews, and Constance Dowling. Samuel Goldwyn had been trying to sign Kaye to a movie contract for two years before he finally agreed. Goldwyn put him in a series of Technicolor musicals beginning with this picture. The story revolves around Kaye’s character, a hypochondriac that gets drafted and makes life miserable for his fellow soldiers. Kaye steals every scene he is in, deftly switching into and out of a pastiche of popular song styles, slang, scat, and even an African-American impersonation. The film received two Academy Award nominations for Best Musical Score and Best Original Song (“Now I Know”).

Original 20th Century-Fox One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, STATE FAIR (1945) directed by Walter Lang and starring Jeanne Crain, Dana Andrews, Vivian Blaine, and Dick Haymes. This was the only time that Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote a score directly for film, having already had great Broadway successes with “Oklahoma” and “Carousel.” They both won the Academy Award for Best Song for “It Might As Well Be Spring.” Other favorite songs from the movie include “State Fair” and “It’s a Grand Night for Singing.” The film is a sweet (some may cry “corny”) look at the tradition of the state fair put to music. It had all the ingredients for a happy post-war (released on August 29, 1945) romp through Americana—classic songs, winning performers, a simply story, and a happy ending. This the second version of STATE FAIR, the first being in 1933 with Will Rogers and Janet Gaynor. Both of those films were set at the state fair in Iowa. The film was also remade in 1962 with Pat Boone and Ann-Margret and set in Texas. This original one sheet poster is linen-backed (linen trimmed up to border of poster) and in fine plus condition.

Original 20th Century Fox Six Sheet Poster (81×81) for the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, STATE FAIR (1945) directed by Walter Lang and starring Jeanne Crain, Dana Andrews, Vivian Blaine, and Dick Haymes. This was the only time that Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote a score directly for film, having already had great Broadway successes with “Oklahoma” and “Carousel.” They both won the Academy Award for Best Song for “It Might As Well Be Spring.” Other favorite songs from the movie include “State Fair” and “It’s a Grand Night for Singing.” The film is a sweet (some may cry “corny”) look at the tradition of the state fair put to music. It had all the ingredients for a happy post-war (released on August 29, 1945) romp through Americana—classic songs, winning performers, a simply story, and a happy ending. This version was a musical remake of the original 1934 Will Rogers non-musical version; the film would be made one more time – in 1961 with Pat Boone and Ann-Margret. This original stone lithograph six sheet poster is linen-backed and in very good condition. A beautiful example of the Fox stone litho artisan’s talent.
