Original 20th Century-Fox One Sheet Poster (27×41) for Frank Tashlin’s CAPRICE (1967) starring Doris Day, Richard Harris, Ray Walston, Lilia Skala, Richard Mulhere and Irene Tsu. This wacky pop-art 1960s spy comedy found Doris Day working as an industrial designer/espionage agent in the cosmetics industry — with hilarious and surprisingly suspenseful results a la James Bond. The poster is folded and has been graded in very fine condition due to a small abrasion to the reverse side. Otherwise we would have graded this nice example very fine to near mint.

Original MGM Pressbook (12×17) for the Frank Tashlin romantic comedy, THE GLASS BOTTOM BOAT (1966) starring Doris Day, Rod Taylor, and Arthur Godfrey.

There is one page which also shows all the posters that were available for the movie. This original pressbook has no cuts or excisions and is in very fine condition.

Original 20th Century Fox One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Frank Tashlin musical comedy, THE GIRL CAN’T HELP IT (1956) starring Tom Ewell, Jayne Mansfield, and Edmond O’Brien. This hilarious musical farce is about a down-and-out gangster (O’Brien) who hires an alcoholic press agent (Ewell) to make his blonde bombshell girlfriend (Mansfield) a recording star in six months. This film is a very, very funny send-up of rock ‘n’ roll and show business, with a marvelously deadpan performance from Tom Ewell. But the real star, of course, is Jayne Mansfield, who realized early in her career that making fun of her bombshell image was her best bet. Amplifying this overstuffed performance were some of the greats of rock and roll’s golden age: Little Richard, Fats Domino, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent and the BlueCaps and the immortal do-wop masters, The Platters. And who can forget the lovely Julie London? Not me. This original one sheet poster is folded and in very good plus condition—with minor fold separations and some tape stains in the corners. These minor flaws can be corrected easily with restoration. Ask about our help with linen backing from top conservators.

Original Paramount Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Frank Tashlin musical comedy, CINDERFELLA (1960) starring Jerry Lewis in the title role, Ed Wynn as his “Fairy Godfather,’ Judith Anderson as the “Wicked Stepmother,” and an exceptionally lovely Anna Maria Alberghetti as the “Princess Charming.” This was Jerry Lewis’ take on the classic Cinderella story, and it received mixed reviews mainly because the critics thought Lewis sang and mugged too much. Although the film was finished in January of 1960, Lewis insisted that it make its debut that next Christmas, complete with a holiday promotion campaign and a record tie-in. This original one sheet poster is linen-backed and in near mint condition with some minimal touch-up. There is a minor stain in the upper right hand border.
