Original 20th Century-Fox Style B One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the J. Lee Thompson sci-fi classic, CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES (1972) starring Roddy McDowall, Don Murray, and Ricardo Montalban. Taking place some 18 years after the original ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES, many critics and sci-fi aficionados consider this fourth film to be the best of the APES sequels. Taking place after a mysterious plague kills all the cats and dogs on earth—a new service called Ape Management is established to train apes to serve humans. But Ape leader Caesar (McDowall) is enraged by this bondage and launches a full-scale war to overthrow humans. This original style B one sheet poster is folded and in very good condition– with only a minor tear in the upper left corner, some minor edge wear, and minor foxing at the fold lines.

Original Universal Pictures Three Sheet Poster (41×81) for the J. Lee Thompson crime thriller, CAPE FEAR (1962)—starring Gregory Peck, Robert Mitchum, and Polly Bergen. Enduringly suspenseful, dark, edgy, and profound– in this 1962 thriller, ex-con Max Cady (Mitchum) terrorizes the family of Georgia prosecutor Max Bowden (Peck), whom Cady blames for his incarceration. Mitchum’s Cady is intelligent, patient, meticulous, and brutal– a terrifyingly realistic villain who drives the otherwise upstanding Bowden to desperate, erroneous means to save his wife and child. CAPE FEAR illuminates the ethical boundaries of a man protecting his family, and the prosaic violence and constant threat of sexual assault make the film incredibly adult. Although director Lee J. Thompson was careful to never use the word “rape” in the film or to depict any sexual violence, the mere intimation made censors wary and thus the film was cut in some countries. This original three sheet poster is folded and in fine plus condition.
