Original United Artists One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Woody Allen crime comedy, TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN (1969) starring Allen, Janet Margolin, Marcel Hillaire, Jackson Beck, and Jacquelyn Hyde. The film is a clever quasi-documentary about the life of a petty and totally incompetent criminal named Virgil (Allen). This was only Allen’s second film as director, and he was still trying to work out a formula for translating his popular stand-up humor to film. Not every joke comes off successfully, but certainly there are many laugh out loud until you almost cry kind of moments in the film. Jackson Beck’s FBI tough guy narration is perfect for making the outrageous situations seem “serious.” This original one sheet poster is folded and in fine plus to very fine condition.

The other story is about an unhappily married documentary filmmaker (Allen) who fights an adulterous temptation while making his latest documentary about a successful TV producer (Alda), who is also his hated brother-in-law and represents everything that Allen despises. This film is an astounding mixture of the deadly serious and the incredibly funny that Allen does so well. It garnered an Academy Award nomination for Landau for Best Supporting Actor.

Original Cannon Film Distributors One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Jean-Luc Godard contemporary punk-apocalyptic updating of the Shakespeare classic, KING LEAR (1987) starring Woody Allen, Freddy Buache, Leos Carax, and Julie Delpy. A strange and surreal film that asks the question: what would we do if all the great works of literature were suddenly lost? Godard’s usual Marxist rhetoric, though not entirely absent, is less strident here than in earlier works. But often the film is truly incomprehensible. Critics seem to be either very much impressed or completely bored to death. One critic admits to having watched the film over a 100 times, “and many of those times I feel as if I’m watching it for the first time.” But other critics lament: “Not content merely to bore us, Godard assaults us with shot after shot of crudely filmed, irrelevant imagery, accompanied by unintelligible overlapping speech.” This original one sheet poster, which is clever, is folded and in very fine condition.

Original Columbia Pictures Advance Style B One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Val Guest, Ken Hughes, John Huston, Joseph McGrath, and Robert Parrish ultimate spy spoof, CASINO ROYALE (1967) starring Peter Sellers, Ursula Andress, Woody Allen, Orson Welles, Deborah Kerr, Daliah Lavi, and David Niven. After the death of M, Sir James Bond is called back from retirement to stop SMERSH. His ultimate plan dictates that every agent will be named Bond. Intended to be the ultimate spy spoof, it is both a satire of Bond movies and even more a satire of the “cool” and “hip” films of the late 1960s. Some critics have described it as a screwball comedy with a touch of British absurdity. This very rare style B advance one sheet poster is folded and in very good plus condition. There are a number of pinholes in each corner, some small tears from pulled pinholes, and minor staining in the lower left corner.
