Original Universal Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Andrew V. McLaglen western, THE RARE BREED (1966) starring James Stewart, Maureen O’Hara, Brian Keith, and Juliet Mills.  Headstrong widow Martha Price (O’Hara) and her daughter (Mills) together with their prize bull travel from England to Texas to sell their bull and thus introduce Hereford cattle to the American west.  Along the way, they meet a cynical and hard-bitten drifter Sam Burnett (Stewart) who helps them on their adventure.  Though fictionalized, the film is a fairly accurate account of the displacement of Longhorn cattle in Texas by intentional interbreeding with more conventional bulls.  This is certainly one of the original “chick flicks” as the story is told from the point of view of the female heroine (Mills).  This original one sheet poster is in very good condition.

This is an original South African 1970s Re-release One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the John Ford romantic classic, THE QUIET MAN (1952)—starring John Wayne, Maureen O’Hara, and Barry Fitzgerald. John Ford bought the rights to the story over a decade before and tried to get every studio in Hollywood to make it. Finally, Republic agreed to do it on the condition that Ford first make a John Wayne cavalry picture, RIO GRANDE (1950). This second film tells the story of a disgraced American boxer (Wayne) who retires to Ireland where he meets Mary Kate (O’Hara) and falls in love. Wayne delivers one of his best performances as a regular guy with real feelings and emotions. The film was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture. It won the Oscar for Best Cinematography and Best Director to Ford. This original South African re-release one sheet poster is folded and in fine condition, with some tears along the upper border and some minor fold separations.

This original portrait card of O’Hara and Harrison is in very good condition, with only some pinholes and minor tears and edge wear in the borders.

Original RKO One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Richard Wallace adventure romance, SINBAD THE SAILOR (1947) starring Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Maureen O’Hara, Walter Slezak, and Anthony Quinn.

Douglas Fairbanks Jr. is suitably dashing as the wily Sinbad, and his on-screen chemistry with Maureen O’Hara is quite good. This original one sheet poster is folded and in fine plus condition.

Original Pathe-America Half Sheet Poster (22×28) for the Sam Peckinpah western, THE DEADLY COMPANIONS (1961) starring Maureen O’Hara, Brian Keith, Steve Cochran, and Chill Wills.

Original RKO Insert Poster (14×36) for the Dorothy Arzner comedy, DANCE, GIRL, DANCE (1940) starring Maureen O’Hara, Louis Hayward, Lucille Ball, and Virginia Field. O’Hara is fabulous as a ballet dancer who has to lower her artistic standards to make a living. Ball is also wonderful in her “bad girl” role. Ball and O’Hara would become life-long friends as a result of making this film together. This is also one of the few Hollywood films of this era to be directed by a woman. You might not notice this fact until the end when O’Hara delivers what can only be described as a “feminist” speech. This original insert poster is folded and in fine plus condition, with only some minor fold distresses.
