OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Original Warner Brothers Insert Poster (14×36) for the Michael Curtiz romantic drama, FLAMINGO ROAD (1949) starring Joan Crawford, Zachary Scott, Sydney Greenstreet, and David Brian. Carnival dancer Lane (Crawford) finds herself stranded in a southern town ruled by a corrupt political boss (Greenstreet), who tries every way he could think of to drive her out of town. But Joan winds up marrying Dan (Brian), another of the town’s ruling elite, and they move to “Flamingo Road,” an outward and visible sign of social success. The part of Lane was originally intended as a vehicle for Ann Sheridan, who turned down the role played by Crawford. This original insert poster is unfolded and in fine condition.

Original Warner Bros Three Sheet Poster (41×81) for the film-noir classic, MILDRED PIERCE (1945)– directed by Michael Curtiz (of CASABLANCA fame) and starring Joan Crawford, Jack Carson, Zachary Scott, Ann Blyth, and Eve Arden. After her husband leaves her, Mildred Pierce becomes independent and successful, but she never gets the approval and respect that she deserves from her spoiled and vile daughter Veda. Everything about this film was excellent—a stunning cast, excellent direction from Curtiz, beautiful cinematography by Ernest Haller, and a wonderful score by Max Steiner. Joan Crawford deservedly won the Academy Award for Best Actress, and both Eve Arden and Ann Blyth were nominated for Best Supporting Actress. It was also nominated for Best Picture, Best Cinematography, and Best Screenplay. As a rather bleak look at the exploitation a woman working in a man’s world can expect, this film was refreshingly frank for the time. This original three sheet poster is in fine plus to very fine condition. Three sheets are printed, generally, on two panels and are joined together for display. Three sheets may be linen backed and displayed on as an integral poster. Ask us about poster conservation.
