Original Universal Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Francis Ford Coppola teen drama, RUBLE FISH (1983) starring Matt Dillon, Mickey Rourke, Diane Lane, Dennis Hopper, Nicholas Cage, and Laurence Fishburne. Based on the popular novel by S. E. Hinton, the story revolves around Rusty James (Dillon), a young and not so smart leader of a small-time gang. Rusty James lives in the shadow of his older brother, the Motorcycle Boy (Rourke), who disappeared but has now mysteriously returned. The acting performances of Dillon and Rourke are truly remarkable and memorable; indeed, all of the performances are of break out quality for Lane, Cage, and Fishburne. The black and white cinematography is hypnotic and complimented perfectly by Stewart Copland’s Golden Globe nominated score. The bleak setting of Tulsa only reinforces the film’s major themes of isolation and helplessness. This original one sheet poster is folded and in very fine plus condition.

Original Italian Quattro Poster (79×55) for the Francis Ford Coppola war drama masterpiece, APOCALYPSE NOW (1979) starring Marlon Brando, Martin Sheen, Robert Duvall, and Frederic Forrest.

Coppola’s spectacular directing makes you feel like you are in the war—showing all the chaos around you, even when everything seems calm. All of the acting performances are compelling and memorable—especially Brando as the deluded megalomaniac living in his own private world and Sheen as his assassin sent to terminate his command “with extreme prejudice.” This masterpiece of American cinema received 8 Academy Award nominations—including Best Picture, Best Director for Coppola, and Best Supporting Actor for Duvall. The film won the Academy Award for Best Sound and Best Cinematography to Vittorio Storaro. This original Italian poster is folded and in very fine condition.

Original Paramount Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Francis Ford Coppola crime thriller masterpiece, THE GODFATHER (1972)—starring Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, Robert Duvall. This unforgettable film is the story of an aging mobster patriarch (Brando) who wants to transfer control of his clandestine empire to his reluctant son (Pacino). Considered by most critics to be one of the greatest films of all time, the film captures some of the most hidden and guarded secrets of the underground world. The film was nominated for eleven Academy Awards—including Best Director for Coppola, Best Music for Nino Rota, and Best Supporting Actor to Pacino, Caan, and Duvall. The film won the Oscars for Best Picture, Best Actor to Brando, and Best Screenplay to Mario Puzo and Coppola.

Original Paramount Pictures Pressbook and Merchandising Manual (13×15) for the Francis Ford Coppola epic crime drama, THE GODFATHER: PART II (1974)—starring Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, and Diane Keeton. Considered by many to be one of the best movies of all time and arguably the best gangster movie of all time, this Coppola masterpiece won six academy awards including Best Picture, Best Director to Coppola, and Best Supporting Actor to Robert DeNiro, much of his dazzling performance being spoken in Italian with English subtitles. This beautifully crafted film presents two parallel storylines of the slow moral decline of Michael Corleone in late 1950′s (excellently portrayed by Al Pacino who was nominated for Best Actor) and flashbacks of the rise of Michael’s father Vito Corleone (in an Oscar-winning performance by DeNiro) from his youth in Sicily to the founding of the Corleone family in New York. The beautiful cinematography by Gordon Willis used a tint in the flashback sequences giving them a softer, richer look than the very sharp image of the contemporary story. This is a relatively modest pressbook in well-worn used condition. However nothing has been excised from the book, which is actually more of a press folder. Two advertising supplements which contain the newspaper ads come with the press material. GOOD CONDITION. Pressbook material is generally more difficult to find than posters for the same film.

Original Paramount Pictures Pressbook (13×15) but without the accompanying ad supplements for the Francis Ford Coppola crime thriller masterpiece, THE GODFATHER (1972) starring Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, Robert Duvall.

The film won the Oscars for Best Picture, Best Actor to Brando, and Best Screenplay to Mario Puzo and Coppola. This is a relatively modest pressbook – more of a press folder really. Surprising that such a monster film would have this modest pressbook. But Paramount by no means knew that this film would become a pillar of U.S. cinema history. Such are the exigencies of Hollywood Bally Hoo. There was an Ad Supplement for this pressbook, which had the newspaper ad mats for the film. We do not have that – admittedly the more boring part of the pressbook. Very good condition.
