full.therarebreed-1sh-16556

Original Universal Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Andrew V. McLaglen western, THE RARE BREED (1966) starring James Stewart, Maureen O’Hara, Brian Keith, and Juliet Mills.  Headstrong widow Martha Price (O’Hara) and her daughter (Mills) together with their prize bull travel from England to Texas to sell their bull and thus introduce Hereford cattle to the American west.  Along the way, they meet a cynical and hard-bitten drifter Sam Burnett (Stewart) who helps them on their adventure.  Though fictionalized, the film is a fairly accurate account of the displacement of Longhorn cattle in Texas by intentional interbreeding with more conventional bulls.  This is certainly one of the original “chick flicks” as the story is told from the point of view of the female heroine (Mills).  This original one sheet poster is in very good condition.

CALAMITY JANE (1953) 17053

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Original Warner Brothers Belgian poster (14×22) for the David Butler musical western, CALAMITY JANE (1953) starring Doris Day and Howard Keel. In the early 1950s Hollywood had to find a way to draw audiences who were staying at home and watching TV back to the theaters, and films like CALAMITY JANE were designed to do just that. It is the biography of Indian scout Calamity Jane (Day), a butch cowgirl who gets a feminine makeover and snares her shooting buddy Wild Bill Hickok (Keel). This film is certainly one of the most successful combinations of comedy, musical, and western. It has many catchy songs sung by one of the greatest singing talents of the time, Doris Day. It was nominated for three Academy Awards and won the Oscar for Best Original Song “Secret Love.” This is one of two Belgian posters and is referred to as the “Blue” style. We believe that this poster is a re-release from the 1960s. Any help further identifying the exact date would be appreciated. Please email us. Calamity Jane is perhaps the most beloved of all Doris Day musical films by her legions of fans. This original Belgian poster is unfolded and in very good condition– with some edge wear and edge damage as well as slight paper loss in the playdate area at the top of the poster.
