Original British Set of 8 Front of House Cards (8×10) for the Mark Robson war drama, VON RYAN’S EXPRESS (1965) starring Frank Sinatra, Trevor Howard and James Brolin. Adapted from a popular novel by David Westheimer, VON RYAN’S EXPRESS is a prisoner escape drama set in Italy at the very end of World War II. Sinatra leads a group of men out of prisoner of war camp and onto a hijacked train. Excitement ensues. This was a successful film for Sinatra, who played in his share of war movies, but sat out the actual war. We believe that this film had eight front-of-house cards, which would make this an entire set. Condition is very fine.

Original Columbia Pictures Three Sheet Poster (41×81) for the John Gilling crime thriller, PICKUP ALLEY (1957) starring Victor Mature, Anita Ekberg, Trevor Howard, Bonar Colleano. Originally a British production titled INTERPOL, this film follows a U.S. narcotics agent Charles Sturgis (Mature) as he trails international drug smuggler Frank McNally (Howard) by following his reluctant accomplice, Gina Broger (Ekberg), through the “pickup alleys” of New York, London, Lisbon, Rome, Naples, and Athens. Co-producer Albert Broccoli would go on to produce the first of the blockbuster James Bond series five years later, and this film serves as a preview of the whole secret agent thriller genre. This original three sheet poster is folded and in fine condition.

Original United Artists One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Guy Hamilton war drama, BATTLE OF BRITAIN (1969) starring Harry Andrews, Michael Caine, Trevor Howard, and Curt Jurgens. This film tells the story of the British RAF in a desperate battle to control the British air space and prevent a Nazi invasion in 1940. This original one sheet poster is folded and in fine condition, with small hole in the upper border and some minor fold distresses and separations.

Original Polish Poster (26×38) for the Richard Attenborough biographical drama, GANDHI (1982) starring Oscar-winning Ben Kngsley, John Gielgud, Candice Bergen, Trevor Howard, John Mills, Martin Sheen, Ian Charleson, Nigel Hawthorne, Daniel Day-Lewis, Edward Fox and Geraldine James. GANDHI is one of the last great epics of world cinema employing literally a cast of thousands without CGI. The life and times of Mahatma Gandhi, from young enthusiastic student to world leader seeking non-violent resistance and change is told with a warmth and clarity belying the massive size and scope of the production. The design for this Polish poster features an image of the enlightened one praying as if created from bits of paper floating on air — a subtle and imaginative take on a man whose soul superseded the corporeal. With artwork by Woutan, this original Polish poster is in very fine condition.

Original Polish Poster (27×41) for the Lewis Milestone/Carroll Reed historical drama, MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY (1962) starring Marlon Brando, Trevor Howard, Richard Harris, Hugh Griffith, Chips Rafferty, Gordon Jackson, Frank Silvera and Tarita. This was the second remake of the classic Nordoff/Hall tale of the infamous mutiny by Officer Fletcher Christian and his followers against the egomaniacal and cruel Captain Bligh. The film was not a commercial success, due, in great part, to Brando’s choice of playing Christian as an effeminate fop — hardly the expectation of audiences after Clark Gable’s sturdy, masculine performance in the Oscar winner from 1935. Poster design features a contemporary pop art image of the ship aflame in turquoise Pacific waters. Very Fine Plus.

Original American International Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Delbert Mann historical adventure drama, KIDNAPPED (1971) starring Michael Caine, Lawrence Douglas, Vivien Heilbron, and Trevor Howard. Loosely adapted from two novels by Robert Louis Stevenson, KIDNAPPED and its sequel CATRIONA, Jack Pullman penned a superb script with some elegantly witty dialogue. The story is set during the Jacobite Rebellion, a fruitless series of military campaigns to restore the Stuart kings to the thrones of Scotland and England, and the film’s portrayal of this political cause is both accurate and insightful. The film is also blessed with stunning cinematography of Scotland by Paul Beeson and a beautiful score by Roy Budd. This original one sheet poster is folded and in very fine condition.
