Original 20th Century Fox One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Mark Robson war biography, THE INN OF THE SIXTH HAPPINESS (1958)—starring Ingrid Bergman, Curd Jurgens, and Robert Donat. Based on the novel “The Small Woman” by Alan Burgess, this film chronicles the life of Gladys Aylward, who always believing she should go to China does finally go there. She slowly wins over the local population with her good works and saves one hundred motherless children when the Japanese invade China in 1931 by marching them to a mission safe in the interior. This film marked the return of Ingrid Bergman to American films after years of exile over her affair with Italian director Roberto Rosselini. The film received the sumptuous and smart CinemaScope treatment from 20th Century Fox, with a good score from Sir Malcolm Arnold. Arnold had written the classic score for David Lean’s THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI and the Arnold touch lent quite a bit to THE INN OF THE SIXTH HAPPINESS.

Original RKO Advance One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Victor Fleming historical biography, JOAN OF ARC (1948)—starring Ingrid Bergman, Francis L. Sullivan, J. Carrol Naish, and Jose Ferrer. This fascinating war drama takes place in the 15th century during the Hundred Years War between France and England. Joan of Arc is a maid who leads her country in a time of war. But her religious visions are denounced and she is put on trial, condemned as a witch, and burned at the stake. Bergman was totally immersed in her role and absolutely radiates “purity.” Unfortunately, just as the film went into general release, the scandal broke about Bergman’s affair with Roberto Rosellini and the resulting pregnancy. This unwanted publicity caused the film to tank at the box office, but it did receive much critical acclaim. The film was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including a Best Actress nomination for Bergman. The film won the Oscars for Best Cinematography and Best Costume Design. This original advance one sheet poster is folded and in very fine condition, with only two minor fold separations.
