YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (1974) 2208

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

This is an original 20th Century Fox Style B One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Mel Brooks classic parody of early Universal horror-sci-fi films, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (1974)—starring Gene Wilder, Peter Boyle, Marty Friedman, Cloris Leachman, and Teri Garr. Dr. Frankenstein’s grandson (Wilder), after years of living down the family heritage, inherits his grandfather’s castle and his record of his experiments into reanimation. Brooks wanted everything to look just like the original James Whale version; so, he used similar sets, black-and-white photography, and similar music to the original film. All of the cast are absolutely wonderful, especially Madeline Kahn who gives a bravura performance as the doctor’s fiancée. This original style B one sheet poster is in fine condition with only some minor distresses and small tear at the fold lines and some tape on the bottom border.

HIGH ANXIETY (1977) 5555

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Original Polish Poster (26×37) for the Mel Brooks comedy, HIGH ANXIETY (1977) starring Mel Brooks, Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman, Harvey Korman, Dick Van Patten, Charlie Callas and Jack Riley. Director Brooks plays Dr. Richard Thorndyke, psychologist and chief of staff of the “Psychoneurotic Institute for the Very, VERY Nervous.” A bizarre, suspenseful and wildly comic plot ensues parodying the great Alfred Hitchcock, San Francisco-centric films from THE BIRDS to VERTIGO. The design for this Polish poster features a fittingly silly silhouette of Brooks as he comically squats and hunts his prey — a murderous fiend. Art on this poster is by Jakub Erol. Very Fine.

Original 20th Century Fox One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Gene Wilder comedy, THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES’ SMARTER BROTHER (1975) starring Wilder, Madeline Kahn, Marty Feldman, and Dom DeLuise. With some of the best comic talent ever to appear on the screen, this film is about an oddly reticent detective who has been forced to live in his brother’s shadow. The movie is clever and witty and tips its hat to Conan Doyle at every turn. This original one sheet poster is folded and in fine condition.

BLAZING SADDLES (1974) 2293

Original Warner Brothers One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Mel Brooks comic western, BLAZING SADDLES (1974) starring Cleavon Little, Gene Wilder, Slim Pickens, Harvey Korman, and Madeline Kahn. With cornball gags that just keep coming, this beloved spoof has kept audiences laughing since it was released. Certainly one of the crassest and crudest mainstream movies in history, it became the highest grossing “western” of all time. The plot was just an excuse to make fun of western myths, racism, and movie-making in general. Madeline Kahn’s portrayal of Lili Von Shtupp is a comic masterpiece and earned the actress a nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Originally folded, this original one sheet poster is in very fine condition.
