Original 20th Century Fox One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Edmund Goulding light-hearted musical comedy, DOWN AMONG THE SHELTERING PALMS (1951) starring William Lundigan, Jane Greer, Mitzi Gaynor, David Wayne, and Gloria DeHaven. The story begins after the end of World War II, when Capt. Willoby (Lundigan) and his men must “occupy” the remote Midi Island. At first disgusted at not being able to go home, the men then meet the “friendly” island women—except they are not supposed to “fraternize” with them. Originally filmed in 1951, the film was held back by Fox until 1953 and seems to have been based on the studio trying to cash in on the popular stage success of Rogers and Hammerstein’s “South Pacific.” Gaynor is amusingly miscast as a native Polynesian girl. Gloria DeHaven, however, sings a rendition of “All of Me” that steams up the screen as much as anything Marilyn Monroe ever did. Good condition only with a fold separation which we have repaired with archival tissue. Other general signs of use. We recommend linen backing for this poster. Priced accordingly.

Original Paramount Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Charles Vidor musical biography, THE JOKER IS WILD (1957) starring Frank Sinatra, Jeanne Crain, Eddie Albert, and Mitzi Gaynor. This film is a biography of the famous comedian Joe E. Lewis, who started his career as a talented singer who performs in speakeasies. When the mob tries to kill him, but only succeeds in cutting his vocal chords, he is coaxed into becoming a comedian and becomes even more popular in this new role. Frank Sinatra gives one of the best performances of his career. The film won the Academy Award for Best Original Song “All the Way” which became one of Sinatra’s signature songs. The poster is in very good condition with only the upper left corner missing. Priced accordingly.
