Original 1956 Re-Release Half Sheet Poster (22×28) for the John Huston adventure western, THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE (1948) starring Humphrey Bogart, Walter Huston, Tim Holt, Bruce Bennett, and Barton MacLane. Based on a novel by the mysterious recluse B. Traven, the film explores the degenerative effects of greed, distrust, and hatred on three prospectors who team up to search for gold in Mexico. Bogart gives an amazingly complex performance as Dobbs who is clearly destined for a tragic fate. Walter Huston, the director’s father, steals the picture as the wise old prospector who knows all along what will happen, and takes it all in stride. Indeed, the elder Huston won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, while his son John Huston won two Oscars for Best Director and Best Screenplay. The film was also nominated for Best Picture. Good condition only. In need of linen-backing. Never folded, but tears and distresses. Worth restoring!

Original RKO Half Sheet Poster (22×28) for the Edward Dmytryk war drama, HITLER’S CHILDREN (1943) starring Tim Holt, Bonita Granville, Kent Smith, and Otto Kruger. Based on Gregor Ziemer’s book “Education for Death,” this film tells the story of a Nazi officer (Holt) who falls in love with a freedom-fighting American girl (Granville) in World War II Germany. Topping all RKO box office grosses up to that time, this war propaganda film revealed a number of shocking practices of the Nazis that would offend American sensibilities—like forcing women to have babies even out of wedlock, sterilizing women who were uncooperative or otherwise undesirable, fostering open hostility to Christianity, and brainwashing youth and encouraging them to violence against their enemies. This original half sheet poster is in very fine plus condition. This is a first class example of an American propaganda film of the World War II era. There is a legend of a long ago vertical fold in the poster, but no horizontal fold.
