Original Bryanston Distributing One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Tobe Hooper cult horror thriller, THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (1974) starring Marilyn Burns, Allen Danziger, Edwin Neal and Paul A. Partain. This film was shot on a very low budget in the summer of 1973—the era of the war in Vietnam, plane hijackings, the Watergate fiasco, racial conflict, terrorism, and revolution. The story revolves around a group of young people who return to the nostalgic home of their childhood only to stumble into the raw and irrational cruelty of the modern world. They are systematically hunted down and terrorized by a chainsaw wielding killer and his family of grave-robbing cannibals. The actors are always believable, and the exceptional cinematography of Daniel Pearl creates an unrelenting experience of sensory overload. This one sheet is in very fine condition.

When the father dies, the mother first seeks counsel from the local bishop and eventually marries him. The children are then forced to move to the bishop’s austere and forbidding chancery. A period piece of stunning detail, the film was nominated for six Academy Awards—including Best Director and Best Screenplay for Bergman. The film won four Oscars: Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Cinematography, and Best Foreign Language Film. This original Polish poster with artwork by Wieslaw Walkuski is in very fine condition.

Original Paramount Pictures Window Card (Trimmed 14×19.5) for the Alfred Hitchcock crime thriller, REAR WINDOW (1954) starring James Stewart, Grace Kelly, Thelma Ritter, and Raymond Burr. Considered by many critics to be one of Hitchcock’s masterpieces, this film tells the story of a wheelchair bound photographer (Stewart), who spies on his neighbors from his apartment window and becomes convinced that one of them has committed murder. 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. This original window card was trimmed to 14×19.5. Ask us about restoration options for this window card, or buy as is.

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.

Original Columbia Pictures Title Lobby Card (11×14) for the Joseph L. Mankiewicz dramatic classic, SUDDENLY, LAST SUMMER (1959) starring Elizabeth Taylor, Katharine Hepburn, and Montgomery Clift. Based on a play by the very successful Broadway icon Tennessee Williams, the screenplay was skillfully adapted by Gore Vidal. Set in New Orleans in 1937, Hepburn plays a lady of means who is mourning the loss of her son. She wants to donate a million dollars to the hospital where Clift is a doctor if he will perform a lobotomy on her niece Taylor. The young woman seems to be totally traumatized by what she witnessed last summer. Tennessee Williams never forgave his own mother for letting his sister Rose have a lobotomy to “cure” her anxiety problems. The whole story turns on the character of the son Sebastian, but you never see his face or hear his voice in Taylor’s flashbacks. He is supposed to have died of a heart attack, but the audience finally discovers that it was a horribly cruel case of gay bashing. Both Taylor and Hepburn were nominated for Oscars. It was the eighth nomination for Hepburn and the third nomination for Taylor. This title card has two paper abrasions and is therefore graded as good and priced appropriately.
