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.

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.

Original Warner Brothers One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Ridley Scott science fiction masterpiece, BLADE RUNNER (1982) starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, and Edward James Olmos.

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.
