MANHATTAN MELODRAMA (1934) 19669

Original MGM Insert Poster (14×36). Near Mint.

More Details
This is an original MGM insert poster (14x36) for the W.S. Van Dyke excellent crime drama, MANHATTAN MELODRAMA (1934) – starring Clark Gable, William Powell, and Myrna Loy in her first significant role. This was the first of 14 pairings of Powell and Loy, and the new partnership saved Powell’s career and made him a superstar all over again. Gable, who was the king of MGM at this time, gives a memorable performance as the tough, callous, and fatalistic gangster whose only soft spot is for his boyhood friend, Powell. Loy plays Gable’s girlfriend, who is educated, refined, and witty—but not very impressed with Gable’s gangster ways. Powell effectively prosecutes his boyhood friend for murder, is elected governor, and then offers to commute Gable’s death sentence. But Gable refuses clemency and swaggers to the electric chair. MANHATTAN MELODRAMA was the film that gangster John Dillinger had just seen before he was gunned down by federal agents in front of Chicago’s Biograph Theater on July 22, 1934. He was set up by Anna Sage, the madam of a popular brothel, who told the FBI that she would be wearing red, thus being dubbed “The Woman in Red.” This poster was featured prominently in the climactic scene of Michael Mann's PUBLIC ENEMIES. This original insert poster of this historic film is in near mint condition. There is some writing on the reverse side of the poster.

MOGAMBO (1953) 9561

Original MGM One Sheet Poster (27×41). Linen-backed. Fine plus condition with only some touch-up at fold lines and repairs to minor tears.

More Details
This is an original MGM One Sheet Poster (27x41) for the John Ford romantic adventure, MOGAMBO (1953)—starring Clark Gable, Ava Gardner, Grace Kelly, and Donald Sinden. This film was a remake of RED DUST (1932), a film made by Gable over twenty years earlier. In the Ford remake, Gable plays a world weary and cynical big game hunter and safari leader. First he meets Gardner, a wisecracking American chorus girl who finds herself stranded in the jungle. Then, a British anthropologist (Sinden) and his sheltered wife (Kelly) arrive on the scene. Gable agrees to lead them all on an expedition into gorilla country. Gardner was nominated for Best Actress and Kelly was nominated for Best Supporting Actress. The great African scenery and wild animals are beautifully photographed in Technicolor, and Ford brilliantly decided not to use a musical score but rather jungle sounds and tribal chants as his soundtrack. This original stone one sheet poster is linen-backed and in fine plus condition with only some touch-up at fold lines and repairs to minor tears.

Though the film was initially shown in 1939, exhibition continued through 1940 and in some cases into 1941. There are several styles of one sheets for GONE WITH THE WIND.

Based on the epic novel of the old south by Margaret Mitchell, this film is certainly one of the greatest films ever made, bringing together the best talent in Hollywood at the time. Not only are all the performances outstanding, the scenery and costumes are sumptuous, the cinematography by Ernest Haller and Ray Rennahan (shot entirely in Technicolor) is glorious, and the musical score by Max Steiner is one of the most famous in the cinema.

More Details
This is an original Selznick 1940 “Limited Engagement” Six Sheet Poster for the Victor Fleming Civil War masterpiece, GONE WITH THE WIND (1939)—starring Vivien Leigh, Clark Gable, Olivia de Havilland, and Leslie Howard. Based on the epic novel by Margaret Mitchell, this film is certainly one of the greatest films ever made, bringing together a stellar list of talent in Hollywood at the time. Not only are all the performances outstanding, the scenery and costumes are sumptuous, the cinematography by Ernest Haller and Ray Rennahan (shot entirely in Technicolor) is glorious, and the music of Max Steiner is memorable. The film was nominated for 13 Academy Awards—including Best Picture, Best Actress to Leigh, Best Director to Fleming, and Best Cinematography. The poster for issued for the year 1940, and is considered original material. This is certainly the best poster depicting the burning of Atlanta. GONE WITH THE WIND was released in a few markets at the end of 1939, but the vast majority of its run began after January 1940. Some posters have erroneously been tagged as "roadshow" for GWTW. This is a misnomer. The film was never released as a roadshow attraction. Rather, Selznick rolled out a very slow release for the movie intended to build interest and positive word-of-mouth buzz over time. A more successful campaign for the release of the film could hardly have been accomplished. Adjusted for ticket price inflation, GONE WITH THE WIND has been (for decades) the highest grossing film ever made. This original stone lithograph six sheet poster is linen-backed and in very fine condition.
