OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Original Columbia Pictures one sheet poster for the George Sidney musical PAL JOEY (1957) starring Rita Hayworth, Frank Sinatra, and Kim Novak. The film is based on the classic Rodgers and Hart musical of the same name and features such ageless songs as BEWITCHED, BOTHERED AND BEWILDERED and MY FUNNY VALENTINE. Sinatra is at the top of his game portraying a San Francisco roue torn between two women — a high society matron and a showgirl. Celluloid life and reel life mirrored one another as Columbia Boss Harry Cohn’s real-life obsession between the two studio glamour girls played out on screen, pitting one against the other. This theater used poster is in very good condition. It is somewhat worn – with some small tears, some pinholes and other distresses. This poster is a good candidate for linen backing.

CIRCUS WORLD (1965) 5222

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Original Columbia Pictures One Sheet poster for the Henry Hathaway film CIRCUS WORLD (1964) starring John Wayne, Claudia Cardinale and Rita Hayworth. Samuel Bronston was a colorful character who produced epic films in Europe which received the big 70mm distribution treatment from several of the Hollywood studios. He began this pattern with MGM. MGM were looking to follow up the huge success of BEN-HUR (1959) with another film. The movie was KING OF KINGS (1961) directed by Nicholas Ray. Other films followed – gigantic independent productions with big stars and distributed by big Hollywood studios: EL CID, THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE, 55 DAYS AT PEKING. The last of these behemoths was CIRCUS WORLD, distributed by Paramount and intended for the Cinerama circuit. Life under the Big Top had been covered better by several other films, with their train wrecks, animal escapes, even mayhem. Here the attraction was The Duke of course, a somewhat long-in-the-tooth-for this-kind-of-thing Rita Hayworth, and the beautiful Claudia Cardinale. Veteran director Henry Hathaway was hired to helm the movie for the giant Cinerama screen. This poster is for the U.S. 35mm release of the movie. The poster has some staple holes in the corners, a small crease in the lower left corner. No fold separation. Some small pinholes.

SEPARATE TABLES (1958) 9958

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Original United Artists One sheet poster for the Delbert Mann film of Terence Rattigan play SEPARATE TABLES (1958.) SEPARATE TABLES is about a group of guests at a seaside hotel in Bournemouth, England which advertises separate dining tables. John Gay’s screenplay of the original Rattigan property is a subtle but persistent attack on the class consciousness so prevalent in England even after the World War II. The film won two Oscars, including one for the magnificent Wendy Hiller. Hers is probably the enduring performance from the film, but the cast is very good overall and includes good performances by Burt Lancaster, Deborah Kerr, Rita Hayworth and David Niven. This was the kind of serious dramatic film that United Artists could be counted on to make. The poster has a censor stamp on it, but is otherwise in very fine to near mint condition.

THE MONEY TRAP (1965) 11398

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Original MGM One Sheet poster for the Burt Kennedy directed movie, THE MONEY TRAP. Sommer was one of the seriously SIXTIES starlets from Europe. She was featured in a variety of films. The poster is better than the film in the case of THE MONEY TRAP. The film was an attempt to resurrect film noir, but failed to attract much interest. The film is one of a long line of “bad cop” movies from movies like ROGUE COP and PUSHOVER in the 1950s all the way to THE DEPARTED. The poster markets the film like a Bond Girl film. Very Fine Condition, folded.
