Original 20th Century Fox Three Sheet Poster (41×81) for the Alexander Korda comedy, AN IDEAL HUSBAND (1947) starring Paulette Goddard, Michael Wilding, Diana Wynyard, and Hugh Williams. Adapted from a popular Oscar Wilde play, this Victorian drawing room comedy focuses on the dilemma of a prominent British politician, who wants to expose a financial fraud but who is threatened with personal ruin if he does. Besides the very witty and clever dialogue, the ladies are sumptuously costumed by Cecil Beaton. Big stone lithograph image of Paulette Goddard as Mrs. Laura Cheveley. Lajos Biro wrote the screenplay based on Wilde’s famous play, but nowhere in the film is Wilde credited. But on this U.S. poster (the film is British) Wilde’s name is prominent. This original three sheet poster is folded and in very good condition. There is some fold deterioration in one area. This is a beautiful Fox stone lithograph, which should be linen backed.

Original Warner Brothers. One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Alfred Hitchcock crime thriller, STAGE FRIGHT (1950)—starring Jane Wyman, Marlene Dietrich, Michael Wilding, and Richard Todd. Set in London, this is the story of a struggling actress (Wyman) who tries to help a friend (Todd) prove his innocence when he’s accused of murdering the husband of a high society entertainer. Making wonderful use of black comedy, this film boasts excellent performances from Wyman shifting effortlessly from aspiring actress to love struck protectress. Dietrich is hilariously catty as the flamboyant theater star and Todd is wickedly suspicious as the suspected murderer. This original one sheet poster is folded and in good condition with some major fold separations. This poster would present beautifully if linen-backed. Ask us about linen-backing.
