Original RKO One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Don Hartman holiday-themed romantic comedy, HOLIDAY AFFAIR (1949)—starring Robert Mitchum, Janet Leigh, and Wendell Corey. Released on Christmas Eve in 1949, this bright and engaging comedy has single-mom Leigh being wooed by two men over the Christmas holidays—the warm-hearted dreamer Mitchum and seriously dull Corey. Both 20-year-old Leigh and her young 8-year-old son Gordon Gebbert are innocent and charming. Robert Mitchum departed from his usual machismo in to make this seasonal romantic comedy. The film was such a flop that RKO backed out of it’s contract with director Don Hartman. However, HOLIDAY AFFAIR has become a popular Christmas movie over the years thanks to regular TV broadcasts during the holiday season. This original one sheet poster is folded and in very fine condition.

Original Paramount Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the R. G. Springsteen action western, WACO (1966) starring Howard Keel, Jane Russell, Brian Donlevy, and Wendell Corey. Producer A.C. Lyles made several low-budget westerns in the 60s that featured veteran actors. Waco does not refer to the Texas town, but rather is the name of the gunfighter hero (Keel) who is released from jail to clean up a town being terrorized by a gang under the leadership of black-garbed Ace Ross (Donlevy). In a major music promotion for the film, TV “Bonanza” star Lorne Greene recorded the title song for a single released in coordination with the film’s release.

This semi-autobiographical tale about a working class boy who hits the big time was Elvis’ first color film, and it was both beautifully filmed and well-directed with many memorable songs. This original three sheet poster is in fine condition. There are some smudges in the bottom section, some edge wear on the left side, a missing chip in the lower left corner, pinholes, and small holes above the title. A prime candidate for linen backing.

Original Columbia Pictures Six Sheet Poster (81×81) for the Vincent Sherman drama, HARRIET CRAIG (1950) starring Joan Crawford, Wendell Corey, Lucile Watson, and Allyn Joslyn. In one of the best performances of her career, Joan Crawford almost plays herself as the domineering matriarch whose attention to detail and monstrous obsession with order makes everyone in her household tremble under her withering gaze and harsh rebukes. Her otherwise kind husband (Corey), to whom she has lied about her inability to have children, finally realizes all the deceit and deception she has been practicing on him for years. Crawford is most effective as a complicated, unconventional, and independent woman—only occasionally rising to moments of theatrical hysteria. This original six sheet poster is linen-backed and in very fine condition.
