INDIAN PAINT (1965) 20847

full.indianpaint-ital-locandina-20847-2

Original Italian 1978 Re-Release Locandina (13×27) for the Norman Foster western, INDIAN PAINT (1965)—starring Johnny Crawford, Jay Silverheels, and Pat Hogan. Two television icons, young Crawford from “The Rifleman” and Silverheels from “The Lone Ranger”—team up in this family film about a Native American boy’s rite of passage to manhood and other adventures. Crawford is the son of the tribal chief (Silverheels) who is determined to tame a painted pony. Supposedly set before the Europeans came, apparently the producers forgot that the Europeans brought horses to the New World. The film was shot on a shoestring budget completely outdoors in Texas where the action would have taken place a few hundred years earlier. With art by Mafe, this original Italian locandina is in very good condition. The poster has been stored folded, and is folded several times horizontally, and there are also some pinholes and small tears. Would look nice linen backed. Ask us about poster conservation.

THE GREEN HORNET (1974) 16266

full.thegreenhornet-1SH-16266

Original 20th Century Fox One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the William Beaudine and Norman Foster action crime feature, THE GREEN HORNET (1974)—starring Van Williams and Bruce Lee. This film is a compilation of several episodes of the original 1966 TV series edited together and released as a feature. In 1974, a year after Lee’s sudden death at age 32 and at the apex of his popularity from ENTER THE DRAGON (1973), Fox decided to capitalize on the moment and pick out some of the best parts of the 26 episodes from the one year series. This original one sheet poster is folded and in very fine condition—with excellent and vibrant colors, no fold separations, but some scribbling on the reverse side.

DAVY CROCKETT, KING OF THE WILD FRONTIER (1955) 20121

full.davycrockett-6sh-20121

Original Walt Disney Productions Six Sheet Poster (73.5 x 75 inches – this is an unusual size for a six sheet) for the Norman Foster family western adventure, DAVY CROCKETT, KING OF THE WILD FRONTIER (1955) starring Fess Parker and Buddy Ebsen. The Davy Crockett story rivals the hula-hoop as one of the epic pop culture events in the post-war years of the 1950s. This film first appeared in three parts on the ABC Television program DISNEYLAND. A little known but good-looking Fess Parker, a former University of Texas student, was tapped to play the frontier hero. Davy Crockett became one of the highest rated programs on ABC up to that time – prompting Disney to re-edit the TV episodes into a single feature length film, which could be seen in color. Soon kids and their parents were flooding theaters to see what they had missed while watching the Ed Sullivan Show. Davy Crockett coonskin caps, comics, lunch kits, t-shirts, cap pistols and various “b’ar” huntin’ accessories were seen in every retail outlet from Neiman Marcus to Woolworths. It was a merchandising bonanza. The film itself is very entertaining, and the success of three different versions of the TV show’s song, “The Ballad of Davy Crockett”, impelled Uncle Walt (at last) to start his own record company, Disneyland Records. Parker is seen on the six sheet with his trusty rifle, Old Betsy. The poster’s overall condition: Fine plus condition. The poster was likely never used. There is a 2″ tear in the top of the lower left section (it falls in the background above the first “C” of “CROCKETT” in the title). Otherwise, the poster only has minor fold and border wear and shows some extra creasing at the folds. This first class piece of Disneyana would look great in a home theater with a western motif.

THINK FAST, MR. MOTO (1937) 19495

full.thinkfastmrmoto 1s 19495

This is an original 20th Century-Fox One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Norman Foster mystery thriller, THINK FAST, MR. MOTO (1937) starring Peter Lorre, Virginia Field, Thomas Beck, and Sig Ruman. This was the first of eight films that Lorre—a Hungarian Jew fresh out of Hitler’s Germany– did for Fox in which he portrayed the Japanese detective Mr. Moto based on the novels of John Marquand. These eight films established Lorre as one of Hollywood’s most beloved personalities. This original one sheet poster is linen-backed and in fine plus condition with some restoration repairing minor tears and missing chips. There are minor stresses at the fold lines; otherwise, the poster presents beautifully.
