Original Warner Brothers Six Sheet Poster (81×81) for the Michael Curtiz musical biography, YANKEE DOODLE DANDY (1942)—starring James Cagney, Joan Leslie, and Walter Huston. This is a musical portrait of James M. Cohan—who wrote, produced, directed, and starred in his own musical shows for which he composed many memorable songs. Known as “the man who owned Broadway” in the decade before World War I, Cohan is considered to be father of American musical comedy. Cagney won the Oscar for Best Actor, and the film also won Oscars for Best Music and Best Sound Recording. It was also nominated in five other categories—including Best Original Story, Best Director, and Best Picture. This original six sheet poster is folded and in fine condition—with only some minor pinholes, a light stain on the right side, and small chips missing at the crossfold and border area.

Original 20th Century Fox One Sheet poster for the Henry Hathaway World War II drama 13 RUE MADELEINE starring James Cagney, Annabella, Richard Conte, and Frank Latimore. This is really more of an espionage film than a war movie. It was released shortly after World War II ended. Fox used locations in Boston and filmed also in Quebec to simulate the Paris location.
Suspenseful and satisfying, 13 RUE MADELEINE is a fondly remembered Cagney vehicle. The one sheet is in excellent condition, very fine plus, and is expertly linen backed. A nice example of 20th Century Fox stone lithography. Ready to frame.

This is an original United Artists One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Billy Wilder fast and funny cold-war comedy, ONE, TWO, THREE (1961) starring James Cagney, Horst Buchholz, Pamela Tiffin, and Arlene Francis. Cagney’s character runs the German branch of Coca-Cola in Berlin. He realizes that he may be fired if he can’t keep his American boss’s daughter (Tiffin) from marrying a raging communist (Buchholz). Even though the Berlin Wall began construction during production, Wilder nevertheless had a ball reducing the Cold War to its basic absurdities. This was James Cagney’s last major role in his long and illustrious career. He was patient and kind to the relatively inexperienced Tiffin (her third feature film) but came to loath Buchholz, whom he accused of trying to steal every scene. The film received a lone Academy Award nomination for best Black and White Cinematography for Daniel L. Fapp. The poster is autographed by Billy Wilder. The poster is folded and in fine plus condition. An excellent example of a Saul Bass poster. The poster says DESIGNED BY SAUL BASS.

This is an original Warner Brothers Lobby Card (11×14) for the Lloyd Bacon musical comedy, FOOTLIGHT PARADE (1933) starring James Cagney, Joan Blondell, Ruby Keeler, and Dick Powell. Cagney plays Chester Kent, a producer of “prologues” or short musical stage productions that were presented in movie theaters before the features. Busby Berkeley choreographed all of the elaborate dance numbers, all of which were photographed with only one camera. With a snappy script and an all-star cast, this film is one of the best of the 1930′s musical comedy extravaganzas. This original scene card is for the number “By a Waterfall,” which features “pre-code” scantily clad beauties in some astonishing kaleidoscopic choreography. This scene card is in fine condition with only some minor pinholes and a small missing chip in the upper border. Rare and wonderful.
