Original Set of 8 British Front of House Cards (8×10) for the Raoul Walsh and Mario Bava Biblical epic, ESTHER AND THE KING (1960) starring Joan Collins, Richard Egan, and Dennis O’Dea. Supposedly based on the Biblical story, the film does preach a vaguely Christian message that religious tolerance is preferable to sectarian genocide, but the message is mixed in with a generous helping of as much female flesh as the censors would allow at the time. In a turnabout from her usual sultry vixen roles, Collins plays Esther as an innocent girl-next-door suddenly and unexpectedly raised to royal status. Francesco Lavagnino’s excellent score compliments the mood of every scene. This set of original British front of house cards vary from fine plus to very fine condition.

Original Warner Brothers One Sheet Poster (27×41) for Allen H. Miner’s generation gap drama CHUBASCO (1968) starring Christopher Jones, Richard Egan, Susan Strasberg, Ann Sothern, Simon Oakland and Audrey Totter. This timepiece from the late 1960s very clearly focuses on a theme that was first put in motion with A SUMMER PLACE — young people in love and the adults who misunderstand them and everything they’re about. Christopher Jones (whose career burned fast and quick) is very much in the mold of James Dean here as the troubled young man desperate for understanding and a place in the world. This one-sheet poster is folded and in very fine condition with minor fold distress at the fold intersections.

Original 20th Century-Fox One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Robert D. Webb war drama, THE GLORY BRIGADE (1953) starring Victor Mature, Alexander Scourby, Lee Marvin, and Richard Egan. This is the story of an American platoon in the Korean War who plans to escort Greek troops on a reconnaissance mission behind Communist lines. This colorful one sheet is in very fine condition, folded.
