Original MGM Three Sheet Poster (41×81) for the Charles Walters romantic comedy, ASK ANY GIRL (1959)—starring David Niven, Shirley MacLaine, Gig Young, and Rod Taylor. Meg (MacLaine) is a refreshingly innocent, naive, quirky, and good-natured heroine who goes to New York thinking that success is just a step away. She stumbles into a job at a market research firm run by two brothers, opposite types, one of whom (Niven) decides to shape her into the kind of woman his brother (Young) should fall in love with. Naturally, his little scheme backfires, and he ends up falling in love with his creation. This original and unused three sheet poster is folded and in very fine condition.

Original MGM Scene Lobby Card (11×14) for the Charles Walters musical comedy, DANGEROUS WHEN WET (1953) starring Esther Williams, Fernando Lamas, and Jack Carson. Coming at the end of her MGM “aquamusical” period which began in the 1940s, Esther plays a woman who enters a contest to swim the English Channel as part of a health drink promotional campaign. Her on-screen romance with Fernando Lamas led to their eventual marriage in 1969. This original scene card is from the most memorable highlight of the film—Esther’s underwater fling with popular cartoon characters Tom & Jerry. This original scene card is in very fine condition.

Original MGM One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Charles Walters musical comedy, THE BELLE OF NEW YORK starring Fred Astaire and Vera-Ellen. The film was a remake of a 1919 silent film of the same name starring Marion Davies. Both films were based on the first American stage musical to play London’s West End, where it was a big hit in 1897. Originally, the film was to be made with Astaire and Judy Garland, but the two stars could never get their overlapping schedules to allow them to work together. So, the female lead was given to Vera-Ellen. She is a seductive, charming, and talented dancer, and her fun solo “Naughty But Nice” is a delight to watch. Her physical style of dancing is a nice complement to Astaire’s smooth elegance. Harry Warren and Johnny Mercer wrote the musical numbers, and Astaire’s “I Wanna Be a Dancin’ Man” is certainly one of his most memorable performances. This original one sheet poster is linen-backed and in very fine condition. The linen lip has been trimmed up to the poster. There are some minor distresses to the top border, and the fold lines are left untouched. There is no missing paper, and the colors are bright.
