Original Polish Poster (27×41) for the Lewis Milestone/Carroll Reed historical drama, MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY (1962) starring Marlon Brando, Trevor Howard, Richard Harris, Hugh Griffith, Chips Rafferty, Gordon Jackson, Frank Silvera and Tarita. This was the second remake of the classic Nordoff/Hall tale of the infamous mutiny by Officer Fletcher Christian and his followers against the egomaniacal and cruel Captain Bligh. The film was not a commercial success, due, in great part, to Brando’s choice of playing Christian as an effeminate fop — hardly the expectation of audiences after Clark Gable’s sturdy, masculine performance in the Oscar winner from 1935. Poster design features a contemporary pop art image of the ship aflame in turquoise Pacific waters. Very Fine Plus.

Original Warner Bros. Pressbook (12×14) for the Lewis Milestone crime comedy, OCEAN’S 11 (1960)‚ starring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, Joey Bishop, and Sammy Davis Jr. The plot of this film revolves around eleven friends who know each other from World War II service and plan to rob five of the biggest casinos in Las Vegas on New Year’s Eve. This film is an interesting glimpse into the Rat Pack era‚ the era of ultimate coolness with the clubs, the Marilyn Monroe look-a-likes, flashy clothes, and lots (and lots) of money. Of course, there is also the legendary bad treatment of women and African-Americans. This pressbook has several cuts or excisions, there is a tear in the front page, and it is folded. It is therefore graded as good condition only and priced modestly. Still, the charm of the publicity material is preserved and this pressbook is hard to locate.
