Original Columbia Pictures Style B One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Herbert Ross romantic comedy, CALIFORNIA SUITE (1978) starring Jane Fonda, Alan Alda, Maggie Smith, and Michael Caine. Based on an original Broadway production by Neil Simon that opened at the Eugene O’Neill Theater on June 10, 1976 and ran for 445 performances, the film is the combination of four different stories of guests in a hotel. All the performances are good, but Smith and Caine play the most memorable characters. Indeed, Smith won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress and Simon was nominated for Best Screenplay. With artwork by Drew Struzan, this original style B one sheet poster is folded and in fine conditions, with prominent fold lines and some additional crease.

Original MGM One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Desmond Davis adventure fantasy, CLASH OF THE TITANS (1981) starring Harry Hamlin, Judi Bowker, Laurence Olivier, Claire Bloom, and Maggie Smith. This is a film adaptation of the Greek myth of Perseus (Hamlin) and his quest to battle both Medusa and the Kraken sea monster in order to save the Princess Andromeda (Bowker). While it is true that the scenes with the Greek gods and goddesses are stiff and boring—the film tells a pretty good story with breathtaking scenery and excellent special effects for the time. This was Ray Harryhausen’s last creation of special visual effects, which were all done with stop action animation using only two assistant animators. With wonderful artwork by the Hildebrandt Brothers, this original one sheet poster is folded and in very fine condition.

It is the only Shakespeare film in which all four of the leading actors (Olivier, Smith, Finlay, and Redman) were nominated for Oscars. This original window card is in fine plus condition, with only some paper distresses at the bottom edge. A beautiful modernist window card for a splendid version of OTHELLO.

Original French One Panel Poster (47×63) for the Anthony Asquith drama, THE V.I.P.S (1963) starring Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Louis Jourdan, Maggie Smith, Margaret Rutherford, and Orson Welles.

This movie was the first time Taylor and Burton appeared together since CLEOPATRA, and while most critics demurred, the public ate it up. The film has acquired a certain cult status now, and was recently the subject of a documentary film. Rutherford won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her comic performance as the Duchess of Brighton. With beautiful artwork by Roger Soubie, this original French poster is in very fine plus condition.

The film was nominated for eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. The film won Best Costume Design, Best Art Direction, and Best Screenplay.
