Original Set of 8 British Front of House Cards (8×10) for the 1960 George Cukor romantic western drama, HELLER IN PINK TIGHTS starring Sophia Loren,Anthony Quinn, Margaret O’Brien, and Steve Forrest. The film concerns the escapades of a traveling theatrical troop in the American wild west headed by Quinn and Loren as his leading lady. The original novel by Louis L’Amour and the film were inspired by the life of vaudeville actress Adah Isaacs Menken (1835-1868). A blonde Sophia Loren was cast in the role of Angela after Marilyn Monroe refused to do the part. This original set of British front of house cards is in very fine condition.

Original MGM Three Sheet Poster (41.25×78) for the George Cukor dramatic comedy, THE WOMEN (1939) starring Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, and Rosalind Russell. Anita Loos adapted the screenplay from the popular Broadway play by Clare Booth Luce. The play opened at the Ethel Barrymore Theater on September 7, 1937 and played for 666 performances. The story revolves around wealthy Mary Haines (Shearer), who is totally unaware that her husband is having an affair with shop girl Crystal Allen (Crawford). There are over 130 roles in the movie, all played by women. Furthermore, all of the animals used (dogs and horses) were also female. Within two years of the release of this film, Shearer would retire permanently from the screen; within four years, Crawford would leave MGM at Louis B. Mayer’s “request.” MovieArt has received this poster back from the conservation firm where it was linen backed and restored and the result is spectacular. Very rare in this format. We know of only one occasion on which this style three sheet ever appeared in an auction. A spectacular image of Crawford — and two other major MGM stars, Norma Shearer and Rosalind Russell. The photo was taken before the rebacking. We will post the new photo soon.

Original Polish Poster (28×38) for the George Cukor romantic trifle, LET’S MAKE LOVE (1960) starring Marilyn Monroe, Yves Montand, Tony Randall, Wilfred Hyde-White, Milton Berle and Joe Besser. Monroe is a Broadway starlet performing in a revue satirizing a French tycoon. The tycoon (Montand) goes backstage to investigate, and through mistaken identity is given the actual role. Monroe learns to be funny, thanks to the likes of Milton Berle and several other celebrities. Throw in Elvis and Maria Callas impersonators and even a Van Cliburn lookalike and you get the drift! Poster design features a sexy portrait of Monroe with Montand as a butterfly, flitting by. Art on this poster is by Jackk Neugebauer. Very Fine Plus.

The film was nominated for twelve Academy Awards and won eight Oscars—including Best Picture, Best Director to Cukor, and Best Actor to Harrison. Artwork is by Bob Peak.Some pinholes.

Original Selznick-MGM 1968 One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the David O. Selznick Civil War masterpiece, GONE WITH THE WIND (1939)—starring Vivien Leigh, Clark Gable, Olivia de Havilland, and Leslie Howard. 1940 posters for GWTW are considered original posters. Though the film was initially shown in 1939, exhibition continued through 1940 and in some cases into 1941. There are several styles of one sheets for GONE WITH THE WIND. This style, the so-called “kissing” style, is the best style to evoke the romantic aspects of the movie. Based on the epic novel of the old south by Margaret Mitchell, this film is certainly one of the greatest films ever made, bringing together the best talent in Hollywood at the time. Not only are all the performances outstanding, the scenery and costumes are sumptuous, the cinematography by Ernest Haller and Ray Rennahan (shot entirely in Technicolor) is glorious, and the musical score by Max Steiner is one of the most famous in the cinema. The film was nominated for 13 Academy Awards—including Best Picture, Best Actress to Leigh, Best Director to Fleming, and Best Cinematography. Folded. Small chip out of the upper right border area. Fine plus condition. This poster is printed on the matte paper that is characteristic of the first edition of this poster. The poster does carry some fine print that date the poster as 1970. We count this as a 1968 poster. The film was released in a widescreen 70mm version that was accomplished by cropping the normal 4×3 frame to accommodate wide format. 35mm release prints in this wide version were shown after the 70mm run. We ascribe this poster to that release. This is a premium version of the poster with the Howard Terpning art.

This original scene lobby card is in very fine condition.

Original MGM 1955 Re-Release Half Sheet Poster (22×28) for the George Cukor classic romantic comedy, THE PHILADELPHIA STORY (1940)—starring Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn, James Stewart, and Ruth Hussey. Katherine Hepburn had been famously labeled “box office poison” by the exhibitors after several of her films in the late thirties had turned out huge flops. But the right property, the right cast and the right director combined to make THE PHILADELPHIA STORY her “comeback” vehicle. Not that she had ever really gone away. THE PHILADELPHIA STORY had been a popular play on Broadway, and Hepburn was prescient enough to buy the film rights for herself. It actually plays more like a film from the previous decade than the forties — witty, elegant, democratic, disdainful of pomposity. This re-release half sheet from 1955 needs some small amount of work, but is available for a fraction of the price of any 1940 poster. And the graphic is great with good images of the three main players. The poster is folded. Good plus condition. Has some marker on the reverse side which has bled lightly to the front. This can be fixed. We recommend paper-backing for this poster. MovieArt can help you with suggestions for restoration.
