OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Original Belgian Poster (14×22) for the Jean Negulesco drama, JOHNNY BELINDA (1948) starring Jane Wyman, Lew Ayres, Charles Bickford, and Agnes Moorehead. This is the story of a dedicated young doctor (Ayres) who opens his practice in an isolated fishing village on Cape Breton Island off the Nova Scotia coast. When he meets Belinda (Wyman), a young deaf mute callously dismissed by family and neighbors as “the dummy,” he devotes himself to teaching the girl sign language and lip-reading. But Belinda’s optimism is crushed when a brutish local fisherman rapes her. The film was nominated for 12 Academy Awards—including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Screenplay. Wyman won the Oscar for Best Actress, becoming the first actor or actress to win the award since the silent era without uttering a single word. This original Belgian poster is linen-backed and in near mint condition.

ROAD HOUSE (1948) 8740

full.roadhouse 1s 8740

Original 20th Century-Fox One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Jean Negulesco film noir thriller, ROAD HOUSE (1948) starring Ida Lupino, Cornel Wilde, and Richard Widmark. Roadhouse owner, Jefty Robbins (Widmark), hires sultry, tough-talking torch singer Lily (Lupino) against the advise of his manager Pete Morgan (Wilde). When Robbins falls for Lily, she turns her attentions to the Pete who is playing hard to get. This is certainly one of Lupino’s best performances, and her rendition of the song “One for My Baby” is a wonderful combination of alcohol and cigarettes. Widmark is at his best when he is playing a “psycho villain” role, and Jefty’s murderous jealously produces a twisted plot to “punish” the two lovers. The direction, screenplay, and cinematography are all excellent in this film. This original one sheet poster is linen-backed and in good condition with some restoration touch-up and repair of missing chips. Minor water stain in upper border area.
