Original RKO One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Edward Dmytryk war drama, BEHIND THE RISING SUN (1943) starring Margo, Tom Neal, J. Carrol Naish, and Robert Ryan. American-educated Taro (Neal) returns to Japan just as the war drums were starting to beat louder and louder. He is drafted, and his horrific service in China hardens him to the atrocities committed by the Japanese army. For a war propaganda movie, it is more even handed than most propaganda films in its portrayal of the Japanese people and the upheaval that the war created in Japanese society. This original one sheet poster is folded and in very good condition– with some fold separations reinforced with archival tissue and a 2″ chip missing from the right border area.

Original Universal Pictures Scene Lobby Card (11×14) for the Lambert Hillyer horror classic, DRACULA’S DAUGHTER (1936) starring Otto Kruger, Gloria Holden, Marguerite Churchill, and Edward Van Sloan. In this sequel to the original Dracula, Prof. Van Helsing (Sloan) is in danger of prosecution for the murder of Count Dracula, but a strange and hypnotic woman (Holden) steals the Count’s body and cremates it. Bloodless corpses start appearing in London again, and Hungarian countess Marya Zaleska sees the aid of psychiatrist Jeffrey Garth (Kruger) in freeing herself of a mysterious evil influence. This is a horror film with a strong sexual & lesbian subtext. Holden is wonderful with her exotic Slavic features and hypnotic eyes. She has a tragic aura about her as a vampire who wants to escape her cursed existence. The film was originally to be written and directed by James Whale, but alas his script was so “outrageous” to the producers that he was taken off the project. This wonderfully eerie scene card is paper-backed and in very fine condition. Presents beautifully.
