Original MGM One Sheet Poster (27×41) for John Huston’s film of Tennessee Williams’ sultry drama THE NIGHT OF THE IGUANA (1964) starring Richard Burton, Ava Gardner, Deborah Kerr, and Sue Lyon. Burton plays a defrocked Episcopal priest whose post-clerical vocation is directing a busload of middle-aged women on a tour of Mexico. All are middle aged except for one, the luscious Lyon, straight from her title role as LOLITA in the Stanley Kubrick film. Burton has his demons to keep at bay – alcohol, despair and his lust for Lyon. Somehow this group ends up in a rundown Mexican beachside hotel run by the ravishing if ripe Gardner. Gardner has two hot beach boys to keep her amused, so it’s something deeper than her own considerable passion and loneliness that attracts her to Burton. Add to this mix a kind and elegant English spinster, fabulously portrayed by the great Kerr, and her ancient father, who come to stay at the hotel and you have another great Tennessee Williams drama, one of the loveliest of his plays. Marvelously brought to the screen by John Huston, the film fairly bristles. Perhaps the off-screen love affair of Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, who were together in Mexico at the time of shooting has famously made the film part of sixties movie lore. This original one sheet poster is folded and in fine plus condition, with minor fold separations and extra creases.

Original Columbia Pictures Set of 10 Action Still Photographs (8×10) for the Val Guest, Ken Hughes, John Huston, Joseph McGrath, and Robert Parrish ultimate spy spoof, CASINO ROYALE (1967) starring Peter Sellers, Ursula Andress, and David Niven. After the death of M, Sir James Bond is called back from retirement to stop SMERSH. His ultimate plan dictates that every agent will be named Bond. Intended to be the ultimate spy spoof, it is both a satire of Bond movies and even more a satire of the “cool” and “hip” films of the late 1960s. Some critics have described it as a screwball comedy with a touch of British absurdity. This original set of 10 color action stills is in very fine condition.

Original Warner Brothers Insert Poster (14×36) for the John Huston film-noir masterpiece, KEY LARGO (1948) starring Humphrey Bogart, Edward G. Robinson, Lauren Bacall, and Claire Trevor. While mostly remembered, and rather inaccurately, as another in the on-screen romances between Bogart and Bacall, this story of expatriate gangsters led by mob boss Johnny Rocco (Robinson) commandeering a sleepy tropical hotel in the middle of a hurricane turned out to be one of the best movies of the 1940′s. Robinson is certainly one of the best film villains, and his portrayal of Rocco is based on the real life story of gangster Lucky Luciano who had been deported some years before. Claire Trevor won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her unforgettable role as Rocco’s alcoholic moll with a heart of gold. This poster is signed in pen by the incomparable Lauren Bacall. This original insert poster was originally folded and is in very fine condition.

Original United Artists Title Lobby Card for the John Huston romance-adventure classic, THE AFRICAN QUEEN (1951), with truly brilliant performances by Katherine Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart. This is the story of grumpy, gin-swilling roustabout Charles Allnut (Bogart), who is running a little tramp steamer with supplies to small East African villages at the onset of World War I. When German troops invade and destroy Hepburn’s missionary village, Allnut offers to take her on the Queen back to civilization, but not before carrying out a rather daring plan to blow up a German warship. Based on novel by C.S. Forester, the outstanding adaptation by James Agee and Huston was packed with unforgettable exchanges by Hepburn and Bogart and infused throughout by Huston with hilarious tongue-and cheek satire. One of the most popular movies of 1951, it was nominated for Best Director for Huston, Best Screenplay for Agee and Huston, Best Actress for Hepburn, and Best Actor for Humphrey Bogart (which he won). This original title card is in very fine condition. MovieArt will sell no reproductions.

Original 1956 Re-Release Half Sheet Poster (22×28) for the John Huston adventure western, THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE (1948) starring Humphrey Bogart, Walter Huston, Tim Holt, Bruce Bennett, and Barton MacLane. Based on a novel by the mysterious recluse B. Traven, the film explores the degenerative effects of greed, distrust, and hatred on three prospectors who team up to search for gold in Mexico. Bogart gives an amazingly complex performance as Dobbs who is clearly destined for a tragic fate. Walter Huston, the director’s father, steals the picture as the wise old prospector who knows all along what will happen, and takes it all in stride. Indeed, the elder Huston won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, while his son John Huston won two Oscars for Best Director and Best Screenplay. The film was also nominated for Best Picture. Good condition only. In need of linen-backing. Never folded, but tears and distresses. Worth restoring!

Original Warner Brothers Scene Lobby Card (11×14) for the John Huston adventure drama, MOBY DICK (1956) starring Gregory Peck, Richard Basehart, and Leo Genn. Based on the Herman Melville epic novel of obsession and vengeance, it is the story that the sole survivor of a lost whaling ship who relates the tale of his captain’s self-destructive obsession to find and kill the white whale. Though it is impossible to make a film that comes up to the standard of the novel, this movie does a good job of capturing some of the most important themes and telling a selection of the key parts of the story in an interesting way. Orson Welles is seen in one great moment in the film as a preacher, which is shown in this card. This original scene card is in very fine condition.

Original MGM Scene Lobby Card (11×14) for the John Huston film-noir classic, THE ASPHALT JUNGLE (1950)–starring Sterling Hayden, Sam Jaffe, Louis Calhern, and a young Marilyn Monroe. This is the story of Doc Riedenschneider (Jaffe), who has just been released from prison and seeks financial backing for a million-dollar heist that he has been planning for years. At first the plan seems to be successful, until a host of “little” problems and double crosses causes the whole plot to fall apart. Huston plucked Marilyn from obscurity and catapulted her acting career with this role of the naive, voluptuous mistress. Harold Rosson’s exceptional cinematography and Miklos Rozsa’s emotional score further enhance this crime masterpiece. The film was nominated for four Academy Awards including: Best Supporting Actor for Jaffe; Best Cinematography for Rosson; Best Director for Huston; and Best Screenplay for Ben Maddow and Huston. This is a very rare scene card with Monroe. The card is in fine plus condition with some minor border tears, which have been repaired with archival repair tissue. One of the most difficult to find Monroe posters.

This twelve-page pressbook contains brief informative articles, excerpts from TV and radio spots, various sizes of ad slicks, and smaller replicas of all the posters available for the film. The pressbook is in very fine condition, with only a minor tear at the top.

Original Columbia Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the John Huston sports drama, FAT CITY (1972)—starring Stacy Keach, Jeff Bridges, Susan Tyrrell, and Candy Clark. Many of Huston’s films deal with the lives and concerns of lower middle class working men and women. While this downbeat and realist drama is a character study of two boxers, all of the performances are uniformly outstanding. You come to care about these losers as they stumble through life kidding themselves about where they have been, where they are now, and where they are going. Tyrrell received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress. This original one sheet poster is folded and in very good condition, with some minor fold stresses and wrinkling.
