OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Original MGM Title Lobby Card (11×14) for the Edward Dmytryk romantic drama, RAINTREE COUNTY (1957) starring Montgomery Clift, Elizabeth Taylor, Eva Marie Saint, Nigel Patrick, and Lee Marvin. When this film was in rehearsals, Clift’s notorious drinking problem got completely out of hand. When the film was half finished, Clift left a party given by Taylor and her husband Michael Wilding and crashed his car into a telephone pole, horribly disfiguring his face. Production on the film was shut down for weeks, but the film was finally completed and received four Academy Award nominations, including Taylor’s first nomination for Best Actress. This original title card is in very fine to near mint condition.

THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE (1962) 5564

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Original Polish Poster – an odd size, 11×32, for the John Ford western film THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE starring John Wayne, James Stewart, Vera Miles and Lee Marvin. This is perhaps the last great John Ford western. The essential subject of the film is the truth of the American West as opposed to the Legend of it. Sadistic hoodlum Liberty Valence, played wonderfully by Lee Marvin, menaces a territorial town in the days before statehood. James Stewart is a young lawyer who comes to the west to settle down and bring his lawyerly ways with him. John Wayne is a rough-hewn rancher steeped in the values of the old west. Which one of these men end the career of Liberty Valence with a bullet? This is the question on which the film pivots. Vera Miles is the woman who loves them both. This is one of the really unusual and beautiful John Wayne posters. Very Fine. Art by Leszek Holdanowicz.

PAINT YOUR WAGON (1969) 15086

full-paintyourwagon-1sh-15086

This is an original Paramount Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the musical western, PAINT YOUR WAGON (1969) starring Lee Marvin, Clint Eastwood, Jean Seberg, and Harve Presnell. Paramount spared no expense in taking Lerner and Loewe’s successful stage show and beefing it up with new music and arrangements by Nelson Riddle and a new adapted screenplay by Paddy Chayefsky. Though it is hard to imagine Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood singing, they actually do a credible job. Nelson Riddle’s original score was nominated for an Academy Award. But besides the great music, the performances are very good, especially Marvin and Eastwood. There is a snipe on the lower part of the poster which is semi-attached and probably should be removed. This original one sheet poster is therefore in very good condition. Otherwise fine.

POINT BLANK (1967) 18499

full.pointblank 1sh 7552

Original MGM One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the John Boorman stylish crime thriller, POINT BLANK (1967) starring Lee Marvin and Angie Dickinson. This is a well-crafted, fast-moving film based on the theme of an individual (Marvin as a loner gunman) pitted against a large and impersonal organization. This is certainly one of Marvin’s best “tough guy” roles. The film contains high quality acting, expert directing from British director Boorman, inspiring visuals, and a haunting soundtrack. This original one sheet poster is in very good condition with some staining along center fold line and some scuff wear in the blue background area.
