Original Paramount Pictures Presskit (9 x 11.5) for the Robert Aldrich sports comedy THE LONGEST YARD (1974) staring Burt Reynolds, Eddie Albert, and Ed Lauter. Reynolds delivers perhaps his best performance as the ex-NFL quarterback who gets sent to prison and there organizes a football team made up of the inmates to play against a team of the guards. The “big game” turns out to be one of the most hilarious sporting events ever seen on film. The film was remade in 2005 with Reynolds now playing the part of the coach. This original Presskit has no press releases or production notes but does have 24 original studio B&W stills with their descriptors in very fine condition.

Original Paramount Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the William Wyler romantic drama, ROMAN HOLIDAY (1953) starring Gregory Peck, Audrey Hepburn, and Eddie Albert.

The cinematography is glorious with Rome as the background, and Georges Auric’s great score compliments the story’s inherent lyricism. The film was nominated for ten Academy Awards—including Best Supporting Actor for Albert, Best Director for Wyler, and Best Picture. The film won three Oscars, including Best Actress to Hepburn. This original one sheet poster is linen-backed and in very fine condition.
