Original American International Pictures Advance One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Richard T. Heffron science fiction thriller, FUTUREWORLD (1976) starring Peter Fonda, Blythe Danner, Arthur Hill, and Yul Brynner. This sequel to WESTWORLD (1973) is set a number of years in the future. The story concerns tow reporters, Chuck Browning (Fonda) and Tracy Ballard (Danner) who are covering the re-opening of Delos, the “virtual reality” amusement park that went haywire in the original film. This was the first live-action film to use computer-generated 3D imagery. This original advance one sheet poster is folded and in very good condition—with only some plastic tape on the reverse side that has stained the front side.

This is an original Yugoslavian 1960s Re-release Poster (20×28) for the Cecil B. DeMille biblical epic, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (1956) starring Charlton Heston, Yul Brynner, Anne Baxter, John Derek and Edward G. Robinson. This is the story of Moses, born to slavery but raised as a son of Pharaoh, who learns of his Hebrew heritage and his divine mission as the deliverer of his people. This was DeMille’s second time to direct this story, but his first as a retelling directly of the Bible story; the 1923 version was a silent film told partially in a contemporaneous setting. Heston was chosen for the part because of his striking physical resemblance to Michelangelo’s sculpture of Moses. Brynner was chosen because of his magnificent performance in THE KING AND I (1956). Besides the outstanding acting from the major members of the cast, the film boasted a cast of literally thousands, marvelous special effects, beautifully detailed costumes, and lavish sets. The film was nominated for seven Academy Awards including Best Picture but only won the much deserved Oscar for Best Special Effects. This 20×28 Yugoslavian poster is probably a re-release poster from the sixties. Modestly priced, the poster is in very good condition with some small tears. This art is significantly different from the 1956 posters, and shows Moses in two tableau from the film — the parting of the red sea and the idolatry of the Children of Israel before the Golden Calf. Linen backing would help this small poster. Please see our post on Linen backing and Restoration.

This is an original MGM One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Richard Brooks drama, THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV (1958) starring Yul Brynner, Maria Schell, Claire Bloom, and Lee J. Cobb. It was a major task to adapt such a complicated and lengthy novel by Dostoyevsky to film. Though most of the high notes of the book plot are covered, parts of the plot had to be pared down to make a workable film. The performances are all quite good, especially Cobb who plays the father and steals every scene he is in. Indeed, he received the lone Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. There is excellent direction by Brooks who sustains the emotional intensity of the novel but keeps everything on an intimate (as opposed to epic) scale. This original one sheet poster is folded and in fine condition, with minor fold separations and some masking tape on left border and back of poster. We have used repair tissue on the separation to keep the poster from further distress. A great Brynner image.

Original Paramount Pictures Style B One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Cecil B. DeMille biblical epic, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (1956) starring Charlton Heston, Yul Brynner, Anne Baxter, and Edward G. Robinson. This is the story of Moses, born to slavery but raised as a son of Pharaoh, who learns of his Hebrew heritage and his divine mission as the deliverer of his people. This was DeMille’s second time to direct this story, as his first 1923 version was a silent film. Heston was chosen for the part because of his striking physical resemblance to Michelangelo’s sculpture of Moses. Brynner was chosen because of his magnificent performance in THE KING AND I (1956). Besides the outstanding acting from the major members of the cast, the film boasted a cast of literally thousands, marvelous special effects, beautifully detailed costumes, and lavish sets. The film was nominated for seven Academy Awards including Best Picture but only won the much deserved Oscar for Best Special Effects. This original style B one sheet poster is linen-backed and in fine plus condition; the portraits for this poster were taken by Canadian photographer Estrellita Karsh.

Original Mexican One Sheet Poster (27×36) for the 1956 Cecil B. DeMille Biblical epic, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS– starring Charlton Heston, Yul Brynner, and Anne Baxter. This was DeMille’s last film, which he had previously made before in a silent version in 1923. This new production was truly “larger-than-life” with enormous crowd scenes, lavish spectacles, and amazing special effects for the time. Many critics consider this to be Heston’s greatest role, playing the Hebrew prophet as a humble man with a great inner strength. In the famous Exodus scene, there were over 12,000 people and 15,000 animals stretched over three miles. Costing an unheard of $13 million to make, the film grossed over $80 million and enjoyed several re-releases. The musical score for The Ten Commandments is one of the best by the wonderful Elmer Bernstein. This original Mexican one sheet is in very fine condition.
