Original studio issued oversized photographs from Edward Dmytryk romantic drama, RAINTREE COUNTY (1957) starring Montgomery Clift, Elizabeth Taylor, Eva Marie Saint, Nigel Patrick, and Lee Marvin. When this film was in rehearsals, Clift’s notorious drinking problem got completely out of hand. When the film was half finished, Clift left a party given by Taylor and her husband Michael Wilding and crashed his car into a telephone pole, horribly disfiguring his face. Production on the film was shut down for weeks, but the film was finally completed and received four Academy Award nominations, including Taylor’s first nomination for Best Actress. There are three stills in the package. Two of the stills are of publicity paintings done for the film. The third still if of what we believe to be the 24 sheet poster. But the catch here is the portrait of Montgomery Clift. This still is in very fine shape. The 24 sheet still is a bit ragged and the still of Clift and Eva Marie Sainte was trimmed on one side, probably to accomodate the display. These are theater used stills which we acquired from a 70mm cinema that played the film originally.

Original MGM Three Sheet Poster (41×81) for the John Frankenheimer racecar drama, GRAND PRIX (1966) starring James Garner, Eva Marie Saint, and Yves Montand. This film has a soap opera plot pasted on some really great racing scenes with exceptional cinematography and a great musical score. The real stars of the film are the beautiful Formula 1 “cigar” cars of the 60s. The film also chronicles how the racing world was changing from the gentlemen’s league of the 50s to the overtly commercial and brutally competitive environment that F1 racing was to become. This original three sheet poster is linen-backed and in fine plus condition, with only a minor water stain in the bottom border area.

Original Warner Brothers Advance One Sheet Poster (27×40) for the Bryan Singer film SUPERMAN RETURNS (2006) starring Brandon Routh, Kevin Spacey, Kate Bosworth, Eva Marie Saint, and James Marsden. The classic DC Comics 1930s superhero from Krypton receives the 2006 treatment and director Bryan Singer (THE USUAL SUSPECTS) attempts to revive the genre by casting ever-cool Kevin Spacey as evil Lex Luthor, Superman’s arch nemesis in what is a loose sequel to the Christopher Reeve films of the 1970s-80s. Double-sided. Unfolded. Very fine plus condition.

TWENTY FOUR different Original MGM production stills (8×10 black and white glossy) for the Vincente Minnelli melodrama THE SANDPIPER, starring Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton,Eva Marie Saint, and Charles Bronson. Taylor is a bohemian painter living gorgeously in the Big Sur area of the California Pacific Coast. Richard Burton is the schoolmaster of an (Episcopal!) school for boys, married to the the dutiful Eva Marie Saint. Mix the two and you have an illicit romance set against the driftwood and sea gulls. This one is a guilty pleasure. MGM’s idea seemed to be to exploit the white hot fame of moviedom’s most famous couple while at the same time trying to drag the Burton’s back somewhere near respectability. Bronson is Taylor’s hunky boyfriend. These stills give a wonderful peep into the production of the movie. Condition is near mint on these fine stills. NOT ALL THESE STILLS ARE PICTURES. Inquire about the others through the website. We’ll send you photos of the rest!

This was a theater-used copy and the two panels are already joined. Fine condition with some obvious wear, colors good. There are some minor flaws indicative of general wear and tear. This copy would linen back very well. Ask us about poster conservation and linen backing.

Original MGM Three Sheet Poster (41×81) for the John Frakenheimer drama, ALL FALL DOWN (1962)—starring Eva Marie Saint, Warren Beatty, Karl Malden, Brandon DeWilde, and Angela Lansbury. Novelist and playwright James Leo Herlihy wrote two popular novels in the sixties: “Midnight Cowboy” and “All Fall Down.” In ALL FALL DOWN (1962), the hedonistic and womanizing elder son (Warren Beatty) of a wealthy couple (Angela Lansbury and Karl Malden) finally finds the girl to whom he believes he can be faithful (Eva Marie Saint). John Frankenheimer’s third film, ALL FALL DOWN explores what it means to be manly versus what it means to be a man and in that sense shares a common theme with MIDNIGHT COWBOY. This original three sheet poster is folded and in very fine condition.

Rare 30×40 poster for the Alfred Hitchcock masterpiece NORTH BY NORTHWEST (1959), starring Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, Leo G. Carroll, James Mason, and Martin Landau. One of the most famous of Hitchcock’s films of the 1950s, NORTH BY NORTHWEST is endlessly entertaining. Quoting from THE MOTION PICTURE GUIDE: “One of Hitchcock’s best, NORTH BY NORTHWEST has everything – thrills, suspense, intrigue, mystery, humor and no little comedy, black as a coal pit, of course, in keeping with the darkly whimsical perspective of that pantheon director. Grant, Saint, Mason and Carroll are simply marvelous in their intricate roles, and, aside from Grant, it’s hard to tell whether they’re good or bad until the film has dragged the viewer feet-first into the complex plot. Peril of the common man or not-so-common man is always at the apex of any Hitchcock tale and this film is no exception.” This is one of the trickiest of Hitchcock films and his last film with Cary Grant. The famous finale on Mount Rushmore and the crop duster buzzing Cary Grant are among the most famous Hitchcock screen moments. The film was produced by Ernest Lehman and has an unforgettable score by Bernard Herrmann.

We are giving this poster a Fine Plus rating only because it is mounted to a board. It presents beautifully as is, but MovieArt will pay to have the poster removed and paperbacked if the customer desires. Better and more desired than the one sheet which is only printed in duotone. And much scarcer.

Original United Artists Six Sheet Poster (81×81) for the Otto Preminger historical epic, EXODUS (1960) starring Paul Newman, Eva Marie Saint, Ralph Richardson, and Sal Mineo. Based on the popular novel by Leon Uris, this film is the story of the founding of the state of Israel after the United Nations voted to partition Palestine in 1947. The film centers on the successful escape, masterminded by underground leader Ari Ben Canaan (Newman) of over 600 Jewish refugees from Cyprus to Palestine. Then the story turns to various underground activities in Palestine and the first Israeli and Arab conflicts following partition. Ernest Gold won the Academy Award for his haunting and emotive score. Sal Mineo was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, and Sam Leavitt was nominated for Best Cinematography. Most of the scenes were shot in the same locations where the original events occurred. This original six sheet poster is linen-backed and in very good condition. The design is by Saul Bass.

Original Italian Four Sheet Poster (79×55), release of 1960, for the Elia Kazan iconic crime drama, ON THE WATERFRONT (1954)– starring Marlon Brando, Karl Malden, Lee J. Cobb, Rod Steiger, and Eva Marie Saint. This powerful drama tells the story of ex-prize fighter Terry (Brando) who becomes a longshoreman and struggles to stand up to his corrupt union bosses. This is certainly one of the great American films to show the horrors of corruption and injustice and the willingness of one brave man to stand up to this evil. Nominated for twelve Academy Awards, the film won eight Oscars– including Best Picture, Best Actor to Brando, Best Supporting Actress to Saint, Best Screenplay to Budd Schulberg, and Best Director to Kazan. This original Italian four sheet is folded and in very good condition.
