Original Columbia Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Henry Levin spy comedy THE AMBUSHERS (1967) starring Dean Martin, Senta Berger, Janice Rule, and Dawn Addams. This was the third in a series of boozy semi-musical spy satires based on the novel by Donald Hamilton and featuring Dean Martin as Matt Helm, a super-sleuth for a powerful US Government Agency intent on saving the world from crime and corruption. Together with a bevy of beautiful woman — his “slaygirls” — Matt Helm travels to Mexico in this outlandish caper. The poster merits very good condition — some tape stains. With linen-backing, these stains can be removed assuring for fine condition.

Original Atlantic Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Gordon Parry sexploitation film noir TREAD SOFTLY STRANGER (1958) starring George Baker, Terence Morgan, and Diana Dors, the British actress who briefly rivaled Marilyn Monroe “across the pond” and beyond. Essentially, this is a crime film involving robberies, brothers-one handsome, one less so, and a blonde bombshell, all amid the squalor of post-war working class London. This one sheet poster is folded and in very fine condition. The chief selling point here is a startling and sexy portrait of the Divine Miss Dors!

Original United International Productions late fifties or early sixties Re-release Half Sheet (22×28) for the Howard Hughes sex-western, THE OUTLAW (1943)–starring Jane Russell, Jack Buetel, Thomas Mitchell, and Walter Huston. Howard Hawks started as director but quit after two weeks. Howard Hughes then took over himself as director. Though the film was finished in February 1941, it was not shown theatrically for another two years, mostly because of censorship problems, which required cuts and revisions. It was finally released in February 1943, but censorship hassles caused Hughes to shelve it again until 1946. Even then, the owner of the theater in San Francisco was arrested for showing a film “offensive to decency.” Original posters for THE OUTLAW can cost a lot, but this garish reissue poster gives you the basic Russell in all her Rustic Glory. Buetel plays a pretty boy Billy the Kid. The poster is in fine plus condition.

This original one sheet poster is folded and in very good condition—with only minor fold distresses, tears and missing chips in the borders, and pinholes in the corners.

This original six sheet poster is linen-backed and in very good condition. The poster is trimmed on all four sides.

This is an original 20th Century-Fox One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Nunnally Johnson comedy, HOW TO BE VERY, VERY POPULAR (1955) starring Betty Grablel, Sheree North, and Robert Cummings. This is the film that Marilyn Monroe refused to do for Fox. Instead, she moved to New York to study with Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio. Unfortunately, Sheree North was quickly put in her place and encouraged to look and act like a Monroe clone, which undercut the effect of this otherwise cute and clever comedy. The film was a commercial failure, and Betty Grable took this lack of success as a cue to end her twenty-five year Hollywood career. This original one sheet poster is folded and in very fine condition, with only minor fold separations.

This is an original Paramount Pictures Twenty Four Sheet Poster (9′x20′) for the Roger Vadim sci-fi fantasy, BARBARELLA (1968) starring Jane Fonda, John Phillip Law, and Milo O’Shea. Based on a popular French comic strip of Jean-Claude Forest and cleverly adapted for the screen by Terry Southern, this film has been styled one of the “trash classics” of the 1960s. Barbarella (Fonda) is a 41st Century astronaut who teams up with a blind angel named Pygar (Law) to find the evil Durand Durand (O’Shea). This was the first science fiction hero from comics to be adapted into a feature film instead of a serial like Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers, and the film has some of the most bizarre and surreal images of the period. This original twenty-four sheet poster is in very fine condition.
