MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY (1962) 1130

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Original Polish Poster (27×41) for the Lewis Milestone/Carroll Reed historical drama, MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY (1962) starring Marlon Brando, Trevor Howard, Richard Harris, Hugh Griffith, Chips Rafferty, Gordon Jackson, Frank Silvera and Tarita. This was the second remake of the classic Nordoff/Hall tale of the infamous mutiny by Officer Fletcher Christian and his followers against the egomaniacal and cruel Captain Bligh. The film was not a commercial success, due, in great part, to Brando’s choice of playing Christian as an effeminate fop — hardly the expectation of audiences after Clark Gable’s sturdy, masculine performance in the Oscar winner from 1935. Poster design features a contemporary pop art image of the ship aflame in turquoise Pacific waters. Very Fine Plus.

Original 20th Century Fox One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Ronald Neame dramatic masterpiece, THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE (1969)—starring Maggie Smith, Robert Stephens, Pamela Franklin, and Gordon Jackson. This film explores a liberated schoolteacher at an Edinburgh girls’ school in the 1930’s who ignores the school’s mundane curriculum to concentrate rather on love, politics, and art. This wonderfully adapted screenplay is a study of charisma and influence as well as being a complex and fascinating coming of age story. Maggie Smith won the Oscar for Best Actress; indeed, this performance remains one of her best in her long and distinguished career. This original one sheet poster is in very fine condition.
