Original Universal Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Tony Bill drama, SIX WEEKS (1982) starring Dudley Moore, Mary Tyler Moore, Katherine Healy, and Shannon Wilcox. This is the story of a wealthy cosmetic tycoon (MT Moore) and her 12-year-old daughter (Healy), who is dying of leukemia, and their friendship with a California politician (D Moore). Dudley Moore, who was also a pianist and composer, wrote the score for this and a half dozen other films. Indeed, his score was nominated for a Golden Globe, and Healy was nominated for New Star of the Year. This original one sheet poster is folded and in near mint condition.

Original Paramount Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Willard Huyck war comedy, BEST DEFENSE (1984) starring Dudley Moore, Eddie Murphy, and Kate Capshaw. Moore plays a competence-challenged tank designer, and Murphy plays the tank commander who must later take Moore’s tank into combat. Murphy’s character was only added to the film after the original version was completed but then was panned by test audiences. The film is yet another in a long line of films that portrays the American defense system as being run by an army of Chaplin-like buffoons. Neither comic star was impressed with the way the film turned out; indeed, Murphy admitted later on the David Letterman show, “A few years back I made a film called BEST DEFENSE. And it was bad. REAL bad!” This original one sheet poster is folded and in near mint condition.

Original Polish Poster (22×32) for the Ken Annakin comedy, THOSE DARING YOUNG MEN IN THEIR JAUNTY JALOPIES/aka MONTE CARLO OR BUST (1969) starring Bourvil, Tony Curtis, Peter Cook, Gert Frobe, Susan Hampshire, Dudley Moore, Eric Sykes and Terry-Thomas. Director Annakin previously helmed the wildly popular THOSE MAGNIFICENT MEN IN THEIR FLYING MACHINES and attempted to recapture some of that film’s comedy, romance and adventure in this European road race comedy. The poster design is of a tweedy Brit driving a vintage car of the early 20th century. While directly representative of the film, the art has a modern, satirical take on the subject. Art on this poster is by Eryk Lipinsky. Condition is Very Fine.
