Original Republic Pictures Scene Lobby Card (11×14) for the Albert S. Rogell musical romance, HIT PARADE OF 1943 (1943) starring John Carroll, Susan Hayward, Gail Patrick, and Eve Arden. The film came from the “Hit Parade” radio program sponsored by Lucky Strikes cigarettes and revolves around Susan Hayward who ghost writes songs for composer John Carroll, whose charms evidently outweighed his song-sriting ability. The film received two Oscar nominations: Walter Scharf was nominated for Best Original Score and “Change of Heart” was nominated for Best Original Song. This original scene lobby card in in fine plus condition.

Original Warner Bros Three Sheet Poster (41×81) for the film-noir classic, MILDRED PIERCE (1945)– directed by Michael Curtiz (of CASABLANCA fame) and starring Joan Crawford, Jack Carson, Zachary Scott, Ann Blyth, and Eve Arden. After her husband leaves her, Mildred Pierce becomes independent and successful, but she never gets the approval and respect that she deserves from her spoiled and vile daughter Veda. Everything about this film was excellent—a stunning cast, excellent direction from Curtiz, beautiful cinematography by Ernest Haller, and a wonderful score by Max Steiner. Joan Crawford deservedly won the Academy Award for Best Actress, and both Eve Arden and Ann Blyth were nominated for Best Supporting Actress. It was also nominated for Best Picture, Best Cinematography, and Best Screenplay. As a rather bleak look at the exploitation a woman working in a man’s world can expect, this film was refreshingly frank for the time. This original three sheet poster is in fine plus to very fine condition. Three sheets are printed, generally, on two panels and are joined together for display. Three sheets may be linen backed and displayed on as an integral poster. Ask us about poster conservation.
