Original Warner Brothers One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Richard Lester comedy farce, THE RITZ (1976) starring Jack Weston, Rita Moreno, Jerry Stiller, and Kaye Ballard.

This original one sheet poster is folded and in fine plus condition, with only an extra fold and minor foxing along the fold lines.

Sidney Lumet’s 1958 Buena Vista remake of MORNING GLORY (1933) is yet another fable about the cold nature of showbiz. The beautiful and talented Eva Lovelace (Strasberg) is a small town actress who comes to New York to make it big on the stage, charming producers, playwrights, and actors in the process. Eva and Broadway bigwig Lewis Easton (Fonda) fall in love, but temporarily quell the romance for the sake of maintaining a professional relationship. Meanwhile, Eva manages to usurp the aging Rita Vernon’s (Joan Greenwood) starring role in Lewis’ latest production. Think 42ND STREET meets ALL ABOUT EVE. STAGE STRUCK features Jack Weston in a bit part and Christopher Plummer in his big-screen debut. Condition is very fine, never used, folded.
