OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Original American International One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Daniel Haller horror film, THE DUNWICH HORROR (1970) starring Sandra Dee, Dean Stockwell, Ed Begley, and Lloyd Bochner. This is the story of a very strange fellow named Wilbur (Stockwell), the grandson of a warlock who was lynched years earlier, who asks to borrow a magical book of the Necronomicon (a book of the dead) from his professor (Begley), but his professor refuses. Next he turns his attentions to Nancy (Dee) who winds up staying at his house for the weekend and wishing she hadn’t. Although there are some truly creepy moments in the film, there is also a lot of unintentional hilarity as well. This original one sheet poster is in very fine plus condition.

GENTLEMAN’S AGREEMENT (1947) 9417B

This is an original 20th Century-Fox Scene Lobby Card (11×14) for the Elia Kazan anti-Semitism drama, GENTLEMAN’S AGREEMENT (1947) starring Gregory Peck, Dorothy McGuire, John Garfield, and Celeste Holm. In this excellent screenplay by Moss Hart, a reporter (Peck) pretends to be Jewish in order to cover a story about anti-Semitism, and in the process he personally discovers the true depths of bigotry and hatred. Very few films confront bigotry as intelligently as this one, because it confronts the unspoken, insensitive attitudes of the many rather than the violent and outrageous acts of a few. A “gentleman’s agreement” is made without writing or even speech and refers to the many bigots who unthinkingly assume their prejudices are universally accepted. The film was nominated for eight Academy Awards and won three Oscars: Best Picture, Best Director to Kazan, and Best Supporting Actress to Holm. We have graded the card in fine plus condition because of three pinholes. This card includes a great shot of the young Dean Stockwell.
