VIVA LAS VEGAS (1964) 20000

full.vivalasvegas-3sh-20000

Original MGM Three Sheet Poster (41×81) for the George Sidney romantic musical comedy, VIVA LAS VEGAS (1960) starring Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret. This film was more successful than BLUE HAWAII (1961) and turned out to be one of his best musical films. With delightful musical numbers, Presley and Ann-Margret produced great on-screen chemistry. Indeed, when the wedding scene was filmed, many tabloid magazines of the time published photos of the “wedding” and suggested that the two had actually gotten married. Originally folded, this three sheet poster has minor cross-fold separations, ghosting in the tagline, and tanning in the fold lines—otherwise, the poster is in very fine condition.

PAL JOEY (1957) 14000

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Original Columbia Pictures one sheet poster for the George Sidney musical PAL JOEY (1957) starring Rita Hayworth, Frank Sinatra, and Kim Novak. The film is based on the classic Rodgers and Hart musical of the same name and features such ageless songs as BEWITCHED, BOTHERED AND BEWILDERED and MY FUNNY VALENTINE. Sinatra is at the top of his game portraying a San Francisco roue torn between two women — a high society matron and a showgirl. Celluloid life and reel life mirrored one another as Columbia Boss Harry Cohn’s real-life obsession between the two studio glamour girls played out on screen, pitting one against the other. This theater used poster is in very good condition. It is somewhat worn – with some small tears, some pinholes and other distresses. This poster is a good candidate for linen backing.

Original MGM One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the George Sidney musical comedy, JUPITER’S DARLING (1955) starring Esther Williams, Howard Keel, and George Sanders. This lighthearted film revolves around one of history’s great military blunders — by Hannibal, around 217 B.C.. The Carthaginian conqueror failed to march on Rome when he had their imperial backs to the wall. Based on Robert Sherwood’s play, “The Road to Rome,” this offbeat musical received critical acclaim at the time of its release. It not only effectively lampoons “epics,” but Williams even spoofs her own underwater ballets in the “I Had A Dream” sequence. This original one sheet poster is folded and in very good condition, with only some minor fold separations and a Canadian censor stamp.
