Original 20th Century Fox One Sheet poster for the Henry Hathaway World War II drama 13 RUE MADELEINE starring James Cagney, Annabella, Richard Conte, and Frank Latimore.

Suspenseful and satisfying, 13 RUE MADELEINE is a fondly remembered Cagney vehicle. The one sheet is in excellent condition, very fine plus, and is expertly linen backed. A nice example of 20th Century Fox stone lithography. Ready to frame.

Original Columbia Pictures One Sheet poster for the Henry Hathaway film CIRCUS WORLD (1964) starring John Wayne, Claudia Cardinale and Rita Hayworth. Samuel Bronston was a colorful character who produced epic films in Europe which received the big 70mm distribution treatment from several of the Hollywood studios. He began this pattern with MGM. MGM were looking to follow up the huge success of BEN-HUR (1959) with another film. The movie was KING OF KINGS (1961) directed by Nicholas Ray. Other films followed – gigantic independent productions with big stars and distributed by big Hollywood studios: EL CID, THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE, 55 DAYS AT PEKING. The last of these behemoths was CIRCUS WORLD, distributed by Paramount and intended for the Cinerama circuit. Life under the Big Top had been covered better by several other films, with their train wrecks, animal escapes, even mayhem. Here the attraction was The Duke of course, a somewhat long-in-the-tooth-for this-kind-of-thing Rita Hayworth, and the beautiful Claudia Cardinale. Veteran director Henry Hathaway was hired to helm the movie for the giant Cinerama screen. This poster is for the U.S. 35mm release of the movie. The poster has some staple holes in the corners, a small crease in the lower left corner. No fold separation. Some small pinholes.

The screenplay by two-time Academy Awards nominated screenwriter John Michael Hayes is adapted from a novel by Harold Robbins. This was one of the first films to apply the contemporary standards of sex and violence to a Wild West setting. This a prequel to The Carpetbaggers (1964) which featured Alan Ladd as the older Nevada Smith. This original one sheet poster is folded and in fine plus condition—with only some scribbling on the reverse side, some pinholes, and minor fold separations at the crossfolds.

Original 20th Century-Fox Three Sheet Poster (41×81) for the Henry Hathaway film noir thriller, KISS OF DEATH (1947) starring Victor Mature, Brian Donlevy, Coleen Gray, and Richard Widmark.

But after spending three years in prison and learning that his wife has committed suicide and his two young daughters have been sent to an orphanage, he decides to rat on a vicious killer Tommy Udo (Widmark). But when Udo is found not guilty, Bianco is sure he will come after him. This is Widmark’s first feature role as the psychopathic killer Udo, and his dark portrayal garnered him an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

Original 20th Century-Fox One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Henry Hathaway drama, TEN GENTLEMEN FROM WEST POINT (1942) starring George Montgomery and Maureen O’Hara.

Original Paramount Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Henry Hathaway western adventure, TRUE GRIT (1969) starring John Wayne, Glen Campbell, and Kim Darby.

Original 20th Century-Fox Twenty-Four Sheet Poster (9′x20′) for the Henry Hathaway film noir thriller, NIAGRA (1953) starring Marilyn Monroe, Joseph Cotton, and Jean Peters. A remarkable artifact of the U.S. motion picture industry, this extremely large and rare exterior billboard displays a huge image of the greatest sex goddess-star the world has ever known – Marilyn Monroe. This suspenseful story of love, betrayal, and murder is set against the magnificent backdrop of Niagara Falls. While Monroe is sexy and seductive garbed in a most revealing wardrobe, she demonstrates convincingly that she can also play serious roles. Indeed, this is the only movie in which her character dies in the end. Joseph Cotten gives a typically impressive performance as the abusive and unstable husband, and Jean Peters, who took the role originally meant for Anne Baxter, delivers an excellent performance as a totally unsuspecting honeymooner who inadvertently gets caught up in Monroe/Cotten intrigue. This original twenty-four sheet poster is linen-backed on three panels and is in very fine condition. This billboard is extremely large — nine by twenty feet.
