full.havingawildweekend-pressbook

Original Warner Brothers Pressbook (11×17) for the John Boorman music comedy, HAVING A WILD WEEKEND (1965) starring Dave Clark, Barbara Ferris, Lenny Davidson, and Rick Huxley. Originally released in the UK with the title, CATCH US IF YOU CAN, the title was changed to HAVING A WILD WEEKEND for the American release. Director Boorman separates the two stars (Clark and Ferris) from 1960s swinging London and plunges them into an existential search for meaning in a superficial world obsessed by celebrity. The rest of the members of the Dave Clark Five, while performing on the soundtrack, never actually perform in the film with instruments but rather are presented as stunt boys who all live together. This original pressbook is in very fine condition; there are no excisions from the book and a herald from the film is included with the pressbook. 28 pages.

full.theemeraldforest-1sh-191

Original Embassy Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the John Boorman adventure drama, THE EMERALD FOREST (1985)—starring Powers Boothe, Meg Foster, and Charley Boorman. Based on real life events and in the Tarzan tradition with an environmental twist, this film tells the story of young Tomme (Boorman), who is silently kidnapped by a native Brazilian tribe called the “Invisible People.” They bear no ill will toward the boy; indeed, they believe that he would be better off with them than with the “Termite People,” the name they give to the white men who devour all the trees. His father spends the next ten years searching for his son. He finally finds him, but the adventure is far from over. Apparently, John Boorman admits that C. Thomas Howell was his first choice for Tomme, but when he was unavailable, he gave the part to his son Charley, whose performance is nothing short of brilliant. This stunning one sheet poster is rolled and in very fine to near mint condition.

This film chronicles the legendary sword Excalibur through Arthurian myth from the violent hands of Uther Pendragon to the sword finally being drawn from the stone by Uther’s bastard son Arthur, who uses it to defeat the evil invaders and establish the court at Camelot and the Knights of the Round Table. The film is an expert distillation of the essential Arthurian legend.

full.pointblank 1sh 7552

Original MGM One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the John Boorman stylish crime thriller, POINT BLANK (1967) starring Lee Marvin and Angie Dickinson. This is a well-crafted, fast-moving film based on the theme of an individual (Marvin as a loner gunman) pitted against a large and impersonal organization. This is certainly one of Marvin’s best “tough guy” roles. The film contains high quality acting, expert directing from British director Boorman, inspiring visuals, and a haunting soundtrack. This original one sheet poster is in very good condition with some staining along center fold line and some scuff wear in the blue background area.
