Original Warner Brothers Insert Poster (14×36) for the Bob Fosse biographical drama, STAR 80 (1983) starring Mariel Hemingway, Eric Roberts, Cliff Robertson, and Carroll Baker. Fosse has created a shockingly beautiful docudrama about the dark side of the American dream. Paul (Roberts) meets a pretty but naive high school senior Dorothy (Hemingway) and lands her a spread in Playboy, which ultimately leads to a new acting career. But then Paul begins to be seen as just a hanger on and become increasingly disliked by the men who now direct Dorothy’s career. Roberts gives a stunning performance as the narcissistic small time hustler Paul, and Baker is also superb as Dorothy’s mother. This original one sheet poster is rolled and in very fine to near mint condition.

This is an original United Artists One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Woody Allen romantic comedy, MANHATTAN (1979) starring Allen, Diane Keaton, Michael Murphy, Meryl Streep, Mariel Hemingway and New York Congresswoman Bella Abzug (in a brief cameo). Allen plays Isaac, a TV show writer who is recently divorced and dating a 17-year-old high school student Tracy (Hemingway). But when he meets Mary (Keaton), he falls in love with her. While Allen admits that this is his least favorite film, it is the most commercially successful of his career. All of the acting performances are great, with Hemingway receiving a nomination of for Best Supporting Actress. The script is witty, and Allen and Marshall Brickman received the film’s only other Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay. Shot in black and white, the cinematography is more than gorgeous. This is the first Allen film to use the widescreen Panavision process. With the music of George Gershwin enveloping every scene, the whole experience of this film is first rate. This original folded one sheet poster is the first printing on enameled paper and is in very fine condition. While hundreds of original MANHATTAN posters were printed, a minority of them are first edition poster printed on this enameled stock.
