Original 20th Century-Fox Insert Poster (14×36) for the Roy Ward Baker dramatic thriller, DON’T BOTHER TO KNOCK (1952) starring Richard Widmark, Marilyn Monroe, and Anne Bancroft (in her film debut). The film tells the story of airline pilot Jed Towers (Widmark), who at first actively pursues baby-sitter Nell (Monroe) but then gradually realizes she is crazy and dangerous. Part psychological drama and part thriller, the film remains one of Marilyn Monroe’s best dramatic performances. Widmark also gives an excellent performance in spite of having to portray a rather lame, superficial character with few redeeming features. This original insert poster is linen-backed and in near mint condition.

Original 20th Century-Fox One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Roy Ward Baker romantic fantasy, I’LL NEVER FORGET YOU (1951) starring Tyrone Power, Ann Blyth, Michael Rennie, and Dennis Price. A British production, the film was known in the UK by the title, THE HOUSE IN THE SQUARE (1951). Time travel, mystery and romance is the engine of this story about an American nuclear scientist, played by Tyrone Power living in London after the war. Power is a brooding, moody, and depressed type until, while strolling in a rainstorm, is struck by lightning and transported magically back in time to the eighteenth century. His mood improves and so does his love life when he meets the beautiful Ann Blyth. No spoilers here, but this story was derived from a play by John L Balderston. Balderston was an interesting writer who contributed to some of the great Universal Horror classics: DRACULA, FRANKENSTEIN, BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, THE MUMMY. This story was later adapted as a Broadway musical, ON A CLEAR DAY YOU CAN SEE FOREVER, which was later filmed as a vehicle for Barbra Streisand. The time travel territory is one that has been explored in films often – BACK TO THE FUTURE, SOMEWHERE IN TIME, and TIME AFTER TIME to name a few. And also, a little bit of Twain here, as in A CONNECTICUT YANKEE. This original one sheet poster is folded and in very fine condition with only a small fold separation.
