Original Lippert Pictures one sheet poster for the William F. Claxton film DESIRE IN THE DUST, distributed by 20th Century Fox. The film starred Martha Hyer and Raymond Burr (of Perry Mason fame.) This one should be called DESIRE IN THE SWAMP. It takes place in Clinton, Louisiana and the whole film is peopled with those degenerated crazy overheated white people that make up The Southern Goth. The poster is a theater-used copy with some issues: some fold separations, some small pinholes. Condition is rated as good. We have priced the poster inexpensively, so please be sure the condition is OK with you.

Original Universal Pictures Lobby Card (11×14) for the Fritz Lang film-noir, SCARLET STREET (1945) starring Edward G. Robinson, Joan Bennett, and Dan Duryea. Lang’s storytelling, mood, and pacing are all very well crafted. The performances of Robinson, Bennett, and Duryea are all memorable as well. Robinson, in particular, shows remarkable versatility in portraying a mild-mannered bank cashier who wants only to dabble in his painting, but he comes to realize that he has gotten caught up in a very complicated web of lies and deceit. This original scene lobby card of Bennett and Robinson is in very fine condition.

This is an original RKO One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Jean Renoir film-noir, THE WOMAN ON THE BEACH (1947) starring Joan Bennett, Robert Ryan, and Charles Bickford. This performance by Bennett is one of her best as the self-described “tramp” embroiled in a marriage with Bickford kept together by hate, as much as love. Bickford is also excellent as the blinded, bitter, and jealous artist. The seamy, violent, and sado-masochistic relationship between Bennett and Bickford is fascinating to watch, and gives this film noir a special twist. This original one sheet poster is in fine plus condition.
