I COULD GO ON SINGING (1963) 2370
Original United Artists One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Ronald Neame musical drama, I COULD GO ON SINGING (1963)—starring Judy Garland, Dirk Bogarde, and Jack Klugman. This was Garland’s last film, made just prior to starting her controversial TV series. Her character, Jenny Bowman, is a thinly disguised self-portrait with outstanding singing and full-bodied emotional acting. The film was panned at its premier for being old school melodrama, after a troubled production schedule. Perhaps many people preferred to remember the great star as their beloved Dorothy and not see her as a troubled adult with a scandalous past. This original one sheet poster is folded and in very good condition, with only a tear in the upper right hand corner and some pinholes. Now the poster is regarded as quite good.
THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE (1969) 1105
Original 20th Century Fox One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Ronald Neame dramatic masterpiece, THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE (1969)—starring Maggie Smith, Robert Stephens, Pamela Franklin, and Gordon Jackson. This film explores a liberated schoolteacher at an Edinburgh girls’ school in the 1930’s who ignores the school’s mundane curriculum to concentrate rather on love, politics, and art. This wonderfully adapted screenplay is a study of charisma and influence as well as being a complex and fascinating coming of age story. Maggie Smith won the Oscar for Best Actress; indeed, this performance remains one of her best in her long and distinguished career. This original one sheet poster is in very fine condition.
