Original Fox Searchlight Pictures One Sheet poster for the Jonathan Dayton & Valerie Faris film LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE (2006) starring Greg Kinnear, Abigail Breslin, Toni Colette, Alan Arkin, and Steve Carrell. This offbeat and satirical comedy drama followed a highly dysfunctional family as they travel across the US by VW bus, planning on entering their little girl into a child beauty and talent competition in Southern California. Alan Arkin received a long-awaited Academy Award for his cunning performance as the drug-addled and cranky patriarch of the clan. This teaser poster is rolled, double-sided and in very fine plus condition.

Original Paramount Pictures One Sheet poster for the Trey Parker and Matt Stone film TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE (2004). This high camp comedy utilizes the process of puppetry (actually marionettes) to tell a satirical, funny and highly sexual tale of anti-terrorist American agents infiltrating the palaces of North Korean leader Kim Jong Il in an attempt to stop the annihilation of the world through propaganda and nuclear weapons. If that plot description sounds crazy, it is and IT’S FUNNY! The use of puppets in the film is highly reminiscent of the “Super-Marionation” techniques created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson in such cult 1960s programming as FIREBALL XL5 and THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO. The poster is in very fine plus condition, rolled and double-sided.

Original Polish Poster (26×37) for the Mel Brooks comedy, HIGH ANXIETY (1977) starring Mel Brooks, Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman, Harvey Korman, Dick Van Patten, Charlie Callas and Jack Riley. Director Brooks plays Dr. Richard Thorndyke, psychologist and chief of staff of the “Psychoneurotic Institute for the Very, VERY Nervous.” A bizarre, suspenseful and wildly comic plot ensues parodying the great Alfred Hitchcock, San Francisco-centric films from THE BIRDS to VERTIGO. The design for this Polish poster features a fittingly silly silhouette of Brooks as he comically squats and hunts his prey — a murderous fiend. Art on this poster is by Jakub Erol. Very Fine.

Original Polish Poster (26×36) for the Martin Scorsese comedy-drama, AFTER HOURS (1984) starring Griffin Dunne, Rosanna Arquette, Verna Bloom, Tommy Chong, Linda Fiorentino, Teri Garr, John Heard, Cheech Marin, Catherine O’Hara, Bronson PInchot and Will Patton. This bizarre, comedic thriller follows a young man navigating the late-night habitues and seedier venues of New York City — the “Big Apple” at its weirdest. Poster design features a man trapped in the beak of a monstrous bird as if walking a tightrope between reality and the surreal. Art on this poster is by Aprzeg Pagowski. Very Fine.

Original Polish Poster (26×38) for the Michael Cacoyannis spoof, THE DAY THE FISH CAME OUT (1967) starring Tom Courtenay, Sam Wanamaker, Colin Blakely, Candice Bergen and Ian Ogilvy. Some atomic weapons are accidentally unloaded in flight near a primitive Greek island. The pilots of the plane are sent in on reconnaissance, the townspeople behave bizarrely, the tourist are restless, Gays seem to be everywhere and Candice Bergen is blonde and tan! The poster design features a stunning primitive image of a two-headed fish, one colorful and alive, the other black and dripping with decay. Art on this poster is by Jerzy Flisak. Condition is very good. Could use linen backing.

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 20th Century-Fox Half Sheet Poster (22×28) for the Mel Brooks comedy thriller, HIGH ANXIETY (1977) starring Brooks, Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman, and Harvey Korman.

This original half sheet poster is folded and in fine plus condition.

Original Columbia Pictures Advance Style B One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Val Guest, Ken Hughes, John Huston, Joseph McGrath, and Robert Parrish ultimate spy spoof, CASINO ROYALE (1967) starring Peter Sellers, Ursula Andress, Woody Allen, Orson Welles, Deborah Kerr, Daliah Lavi, and David Niven. After the death of M, Sir James Bond is called back from retirement to stop SMERSH. His ultimate plan dictates that every agent will be named Bond. Intended to be the ultimate spy spoof, it is both a satire of Bond movies and even more a satire of the “cool” and “hip” films of the late 1960s. Some critics have described it as a screwball comedy with a touch of British absurdity. This very rare style B advance one sheet poster is folded and in very good plus condition. There are a number of pinholes in each corner, some small tears from pulled pinholes, and minor staining in the lower left corner.

Original Universal Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the George Roy Hill hockey drama, SLAP SHOT (1977) starring Paul Newman, Strother Martin, Michael Ontkean, and Jennifer Warren. After the success of THE STING (1973), Paul Newman wanted to do another film with George Roy Hill. That film turned out to be SLAP SHOT, one of the best sports-related films of the late seventies. The film concerns a down on their luck scrappy hockey team facing the travails of aging players, volatile relationships, sagging economics, competition and the endless rigors of touring. From this soup comes one of the funniest, most foul-mouthed, and liveliest films of Newman’s career. Add a dash of vintage seventies music and mix with some good sex and a lot of the famed Newman charm and you have SLAP SHOT. With artwork by Arno, this original one sheet poster is folded and in very fine condition.

This is an original United Artists One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Billy Wilder fast and funny cold-war comedy, ONE, TWO, THREE (1961) starring James Cagney, Horst Buchholz, Pamela Tiffin, and Arlene Francis. Cagney’s character runs the German branch of Coca-Cola in Berlin. He realizes that he may be fired if he can’t keep his American boss’s daughter (Tiffin) from marrying a raging communist (Buchholz). Even though the Berlin Wall began construction during production, Wilder nevertheless had a ball reducing the Cold War to its basic absurdities. This was James Cagney’s last major role in his long and illustrious career. He was patient and kind to the relatively inexperienced Tiffin (her third feature film) but came to loath Buchholz, whom he accused of trying to steal every scene. The film received a lone Academy Award nomination for best Black and White Cinematography for Daniel L. Fapp. The poster is folded and in near mint condition. An excellent example of a Saul Bass poster. The poster says DESIGNED BY SAUL BASS.

This is an original Orion Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Woody Allen comedy fantasy, ZELIG (1983) starring Allen, Mia Farrow, and Patrick Hogan. This innovative film is a fictional documentary about the life of Leonard Zelig, a man who becomes famous in the 1920s for this ability look and act like whoever is around him. Not only is it a fake documentary (“mockumentary”), but it also sustains this format throughout the entire film. Allen used special lenses to create old style newsreels from the 1920s. He also used real photo stills from the period as well as mixing real footage with his own to give a compelling allusion of authenticity. Cinematographer Gordon Willis received an Academy Award nomination of his excellent work on this wildly original project. This original one sheet poster is folded and in very fine condition.

This is an original Universal Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the sci-fi comedy spoof, AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOON (1987) starring Rosanna Arquette, Michelle Pfeiffer and Arsenio Hall. Directors Joe Dante, Carl Gottlieb, Peter Horton, John Landis, and Robert Weiss team up in this 1950s sci-fi spoof, interspersed with short comedy sketches, most of which parody late-night television and the low-budget movies one finds there. This film is loopy, silly comedy anarchy at its best. This original one sheet poster is rolled and in very fine condition. Never folded!
