OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Original Australian Daybill (14×30) for the Peter R. Hunt spy thriller, ON HER MAJESTY’S SECRET SERVICE (1969) starring George Lazenby, Diana Rigg, Telly Savalas, and Gabriele Ferzetti. This was the sixth film based on the famous Ian Fleming spymaster James Bond, and the film starred George Lazenby in the title role. He was quite good in the role; indeed, he was nominated for a Golden Globe as “Most Promising Male Newcomer.” Considered by many critics to be one of the best Bond movies; the film was certainly closest to the Ian Fleming source material. Director Hunt ditched all the silly gadgets but still crafted an elaborate action thriller. The film boasts a brilliant screenplay, excellent use of fantastic locations, lush cinematography, and a sweeping majestic score by John Barry

Original United Artists One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Melvin Frank comedy, BUONA SERA, MRS. CAMPBELL (1968) starring Gina Lollobrigida, Shelley Winters, Phil Silvers, Peter Lawford, and Telly Savalas. One of the best screwball comedies of the period, Carla Campbell (Lollobrigida) plays the mother of a lovely daughter, whose American soldier father was supposedly killed in World War II. But Carla isn’t really sure who the real father is, since she was intimate with three different soldiers at the time who are all still very much alive. When all three come back to Italy for a reunion with their wives, the craziness begins. This original one sheet poster is in very good condition– with only some slightly irregular folds and some small holes in the fold line.

Original Set of 8 British Front of House Cards (8×10) for the Harry Levin historical epic, GENGHIS KHAN (1965) starring Stephen Boyd, Omar Sharif, James Mason, and Telly Savalas. Although many critics have complained that his film is nothing more than a shallow adventure story, others have praise for the locations, cinematography, sets, and costumes. It does seem that Levin forgot that the film is about Mongolians, since the only characters of Asian descent in the film are the extras. Some people found Dusan Radic’s score to be little more than ‘pseudo-epic orchestrations with grandiose flourishes,” while others found the score “fantastic” and achieving “Rosza-like standards.” This set of original British front of house cards are in fine plus condition.

He never saw the film, nor did the film result in his release. Originally folded, this one sheet poster is in near mint condition.
