PAL JOEY (1957) 14000

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Original Columbia Pictures one sheet poster for the George Sidney musical PAL JOEY (1957) starring Rita Hayworth, Frank Sinatra, and Kim Novak. The film is based on the classic Rodgers and Hart musical of the same name and features such ageless songs as BEWITCHED, BOTHERED AND BEWILDERED and MY FUNNY VALENTINE. Sinatra is at the top of his game portraying a San Francisco roue torn between two women — a high society matron and a showgirl. Celluloid life and reel life mirrored one another as Columbia Boss Harry Cohn’s real-life obsession between the two studio glamour girls played out on screen, pitting one against the other. This theater used poster is in very good condition. It is somewhat worn – with some small tears, some pinholes and other distresses. This poster is a good candidate for linen backing.

VERTIGO (1958) 17868

full.vertigo 1sh signed big file 17868

Original Paramount Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Alfred Hitchcock mystery thriller masterpiece, VERTIGO (1958) starring James Stewart, Kim Novak, and Barbara Bel Geddes. This Hitchcock classic tells the story of a former San Francisco detective (Stewart) suffering from acrophobia who investigates the strange activities of an old friend’s wife, all the while becoming dangerously obsessed with her. Hitchcock creates some of his most hypnotic scenes in this film as well as a general sense of unease and dread– even in seemingly banal situations. Bernard Herrmann’s excellent score is a perfect compliment to this complex and suspenseful story. The score is perhaps more important here than it most films, because much of the story is told simply with Stewart’s and Novak’s facial expressions and the music. Stewart gives one of the best performances of his career, and Novak is completely convincing in her dual roles. With artwork by the great Saul Bass, this original one sheet poster is linen-backed and in very fine plus condition. This one sheet is signed by James Stewart. We have never seen another copy of this one sheet signed by Stewart.
