Original MGM Six Sheet Poster (27×41) for the iconic American film CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF (1958) starring Paul Newman, Burl Ives, Jack Carson, Judith Anderson and, of course, Elizabeth Taylor in one of her greatest roles. Taylor plays the beautiful and sultry wife of the alcoholic and sexually ambivalent young football player Brick (Newman). Brick is the son of an autocratic Southern patriarch who is known in the play only as Big Daddy, played wonderfully by the great Burl Ives. Jack Carson, Judith Anderson and Madeleine Sherwood flesh out the cast, as they work through the stew of Tennessee Williams’ tangle of desires and ambitions. One of the great American plays, whose influence on the American Theater cannot be overestimated, is transformed into a remarkable film by director Richard Brooks. Maggie the cat is shown on the poster where her appeal is most apparent – on the bed. The poster is backed on a thinner, European style linen and is in very fine plus condition. Note the presence of a censor stamp in the background area. This can be left on or removed. Rebacking is not necessary, but is certainly possible for an even better look. One of the great American six sheets and one of the nicest Elizabeth Taylor images. Classic.

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.

Original MGM Scene Lobby Card (11×14) for the Charles Walters musical comedy, DANGEROUS WHEN WET (1953) starring Esther Williams, Fernando Lamas, and Jack Carson.

This original scene card is from the most memorable highlight of the film—Esther’s underwater fling with popular cartoon characters Tom & Jerry. This original scene card is in very fine condition.
