Original 20th Century Fox Window Card (14×22) for the Raoul Walsh musical comedy, A PRIVATE’S AFFAIR (1959)—starring Sal Mineo, Christine Carere, Barry Coe, and Barbara Eden. Although classified as a musical, the film only has ONE song, “It’s the Same Old Army,” repeated over and over again. Mineo plays an Army private who is a talented jazz drummer but who also has some “personal” problems. While unloading sacks of potatoes one morning, Mineo and his buddies improvise “the” song. When the base commander finds out about it, he thinks they should go on national television. This original window card is in fine plus condition, with only some minor tape stains in the border area. As with most theater used cards, this one has the theater and playdate printed on it. This window card was used at the PAT Theater in the Four Corners Area of Lafayette, Louisiana.

This is an original Warner Brothers Six Sheet Poster (81×81) for the George Stevens western masterpiece, GIANT (1956) starring Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, James Dean, Carroll Baker, Sal Mineo and Mercedes McCambridge. Based on the novel by Edna Ferber, this sprawling epic of a Texas cattle rancher and his family and associates spans many years, beginning with the newlywed couple and following them into their middle age. Taylor gives one of the strongest performances of her career, and James Dean delivers the final performance of his too short career. The cinematography and production design are consistently beautiful. The film was nominated for 10 Academy Award—including Best Picture, Best Actor for both Hudson and Dean, and Best Supporting Actress for McCambridge. The film won the Best Director Oscar for Stevens. Also a much-loved score by the great Dimitri Tiomkin. This original six sheet poster is linen backed. It has had small chips out of the border area repaired and color touch-up to all the fold lines. Otherwise, the overall condition of the poster is fine.
