STAGE FRIGHT (1950) 8062
Original Warner Bros. One Sheet Poster (27×1). Folded. Good condition.
More Details
Original Warner Bros. One Sheet Poster (27x41) for the Alfred Hitchcock crime thriller, STAGE FRIGHT (1950)—starring Jane Wyman, Marlene Dietrich, Michael Wilding, and Richard Todd. Set in London, this is the story of a struggling actress (Wyman) who tries to help a friend (Todd) prove his innocence when he’s accused of murdering the husband of a high society entertainer. Making wonderful use of black comedy, this film boasts excellent performances from Wyman shifting effortlessly from aspiring actress to love struck protectress. Dietrich is hilariously catty as the flamboyant theater star and Todd is wickedly suspicious as the suspected murderer. This original one sheet poster is folded and in good condition with some major fold separations. This poster would present beautifully if linen-backed. Ask us about linen-backing.

Mankiewicz film-noir classic, SOMEWHERE IN THE NIGHT (1946)—starring John Hodiak, Lloyd Nolan, Josephine Hutchinson, Richard Conte, and a 19-year-old Nancy Guild. Hodiak is an extremely convincing amnesiac veteran, who after returning from the war must make a whole new life in his homeland that has turned into alien territory. A pleasure to watch in terms of plot and atmosphere with excellent dialogue. The many nightscapes generate a menacing look at post-war Los Angeles. This original one sheet poster is linen-backed and in fine plus condition.

Jenny and Griff fall in love and secretly marry, since marriage is strictly forbidden between a parolee and parole officer. But when Harry tries to blackmail Jenny, he is shot in the struggle. Griff thinks that no jury would believe that the shooting was an accident; so, he joins Jenny on the lamb and works as a day laborer. This original half sheet poster is in very good condition. Some staining on the bottom and left edge. Nevertheless a good noir design. Very femme fatale!
SHAFT (1971) 20200
Original MGM One Sheet Poster (27×41). Folded. Very fine condition.
More Details
Original MGM One Sheet Poster (27x41) for the Gordon Parks crime thriller, SHAFT (1971)—starring Richard Roundtree, Moses Gunn, Charles Cioffi, and Christopher St. John. This film broke the mold of Hollywood African-American stereotypes by making the leading man a cool black private detective who is hired by a crime lord to retrieve his kidnapped daughter. In 1971 MGM was facing bankruptcy and thought that SHAFT might make a lot of money for the studio, and they were right. The film became one of the highest grossing movies of 1971 and opened the floodgates to a black exploitation renaissance of the 1970s. Isaac Hayes won the Oscar for the Best Original Song for his “Theme from Shaft.” This original one sheet poster is folded and in very fine condition.

Brandon (Dall) and Phillip (Granger) strangle their “inferior” classmate, hide his body in their apartment, and invite his friends and family to a dinner party. As the evening wears on, Brandon becomes ever more bolder, while Phillip begins to regret what they have done. The plot is simple, the characters complex, and Hitchcock’s treatment of the Leopold and Loeb parallel quite deft. This original re-release one sheet poster is folded and in very fine condition.
ROCK BABY: ROCK IT (1957) 2577
Original United Pictures Complete Lobby Card Set (11×14). Near mint condition.
More Details
This is an original United Pictures Complete Lobby Card Set (11x14) for the Murray Douglas Sporup crime musical, ROCK BABY: ROCK IT (1957)—starring an array of local Dallas, Texas musical acts of the late 1950’s. The faint whiff of a plot has a bunch of middle-aged “square” mobsters trying to take over teen nightspot. The resourceful kids decide to hold an impromptu benefit concert to raise enough money to save their beloved hangout. But the plot exists solely as a flimsy excuse to showcase a bunch of hot local musical acts. This film is certainly one of the grubbier of the cheap “rocksploitation” movies churned out in the 1950’s. But if you can get beyond the cheap sets and hopelessly stiff acting, the sincerity and eagerness of the performers makes the overall shoddiness both forgivable and strangely endearing. These lobby cards evoke the rockabilly era as well as any film posters that we know. This original complete lobby card set is in near mint condition.
RIFFRAFF (1936) 20022
Original MGM Scene Lobby Card (11×14). Fine condition with only minor pinholes, creases, and surface wear mostly in the borders.
More Details

After Tracy is kicked out of his union and fired from his job, he leaves Harlow. She steals money for him and eventually goes to jail. After he gets a new job, he foils a plot to dynamite the boat and vows to wait for Harlow. This original lobby card is in fine condition with only minor pinholes, creases, and surface wear mostly in the borders.
