Original Paramount Pictures Six Sheet Poster (81×81) for the Alfred Hitchcock horror-thriller masterpiece, PSYCHO (1960) starring Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, and John Gavin. Considered by many critics to be the best horror movie of all time, this film was superlative in every way: its screenplay by Joseph Stefano, based on the novel by Robert Bloch, is extraordinary; each performance is pitch-perfect; the cinematography of John L. Russell is beautiful; and the score by Bernard Herrmann is exceptional. However, the outstanding direction by Hitchcock is the crowning touch of this great film. The handling of every nuance—gestures, glances, sudden changes in lighting—is masterful. The acting by Janet Leigh has often been praised, but the performance by Anthony Perkins with his facial tics and half-swallowed words is subtle, cool, unsettling, and just plain creepy. Prior to PSYCHO, horror movies were monsters, zombies, werewolves, and vampires. This film was the first true “psychological thriller.” Though we have become jaded with legions of realistic gore films since this movie was released, seeing a nude woman murdered in the shower was something no one had experienced yet in 1960. This original six sheet poster is unbacked, and in fine plus condition. Some minor condition issues exist, and this poster is a prime candidate for linen backing and display — or just to own as an artifact of this important Hitchcock movie.  We do recommend linen backing for this poster.  Please ask us about poster restoration services.  We have shown this poster as the four individual panels which make up the full poster.  Large photos are available of each panel.  Please email us for details.

Original Allied Artists One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Jus Addiss crime thriller, THE CRY BABY KILLER (1958) starring Jack Nicholson, Harry Lauter, Carolyn Mitchell, and Brett Halsey. Twenty-one-year-old Nicholson makes his feature film debut as a juvenile delinquent, who panics when he thinks he’s committed murder and takes a man, a woman, and the woman’s infant as hostages. Executive Producer Roger Corman had attended acting classes with Nicholson and, believing him to be the best actor in the class, offered him this now historical role. This original one sheet poster is in fair condition only, is fragile, and should be linen-backed. Ask us about linen backing and poster restoration.

Original Australian Daybill (14×30) for the Peter R. Hunt spy thriller, ON HER MAJESTY’S SECRET SERVICE (1969) starring George Lazenby, Diana Rigg, Telly Savalas, and Gabriele Ferzetti. This was the sixth film based on the famous Ian Fleming spymaster James Bond, and the film starred George Lazenby in the title role. He was quite good in the role; indeed, he was nominated for a Golden Globe as “Most Promising Male Newcomer.” Considered by many critics to be one of the best Bond movies; the film was certainly closest to the Ian Fleming source material. Director Hunt ditched all the silly gadgets but still crafted an elaborate action thriller. The film boasts a brilliant screenplay, excellent use of fantastic locations, lush cinematography, and a sweeping majestic score by John Barry

Original Belgian Poster (13×21) for the Bretaigne Windust film noir, THE ENFORCER (1951) starring Humphrey Bogart, Zero Mostel, Ted de Corsia, and Everett Sloane. The film is a perfect example of typical post-1950 film noir, which tended to be told from the point of view of the police rather than the criminal. After the first several days of filming, director Windust fell seriously ill and was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. Bogart asked Raoul Walsh to direct the film until Windust could return, but he was never able to return. Walsh’s directing talent raised this B film to an A status. This original Belgian poster is in fine plus condition.

The film focuses on the seduction of crime, not in committing it but in the act of discovering it. The entire movie was shot on one set, the largest indoor set ever built at Paramount studios at the time. The film was nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Director and Best Screenplay.

Original Belgian Poster (14×22) for the Otto Preminger crime drama, ANATOMY OF A MURDER (1959) starring James Stewart, Lee Remick, Ben Gazzara, Arthur O’Connell, and George C. Scott. One of the best films of courtroom drama, the film was still highly controversial, based partially on the open use of words like “bitch,” “contraceptive,” “penetration,” “rape,” “slut,” and “sperm.” Upon its original release, the film was banned in Chicago. And James Stewart’s father was so offended by the film that he took out an ad in his local newspaper urging people not to see it. The film was nominated for seven Academy Awards—including Best Picture, Best Screenplay, Best Actor for Stewart, and Best Supporting Actor for both O’Connell and Scott. This original Belgian poster is in fine plus to very fine condition.

Original 1960 Re-Release Belgian Poster (13×21) the Andre De Toth horror classic, HOUSE OF WAX (1953) starring Vincent Price, Frank Lovejoy, Phyllis Kirk, and Carolyn Jones. In the early 1950s, box office receipts were going down because of television. Film studios and movie theaters were looking for any gimmick that would bring audiences back to the theaters. 3-D was one such device, and this film was Warner Brothers’ first 3-D film. This wonderful, creepy scare-fest also has sumptuous sets, lush color, and memorable performances—especially from Vincent Price. This original Belgian poster is folded and in very fine condition.
