More Details
This is an original Committee on Public Information One Sheet Poster for a very early documentary film concerning American troops in France during World War I, PERSHING’S CRUSADERS (1918).

The second part shows American camps in France, front-line trenches, General Pershing at the front, and the German Kaiser reviewing goose-stepping troops in Berlin.

MAU-MAU (1955) 6996
Original Rock-Price Productions Window Card (14×22). Near mint condition.
More Details
This is an original Rock-Price Productions Window Card (14x22) for the Elwood Price exploitation documentary, MAU-MAU (1955)—narrated by NBC newsman Chet Huntley. This supposed documentary shows the rise of the African resistance movement known as “Mau-Mau” against British rule in East Africa in the early 1950’s but in reality was an opportunity to show as many bare-breasted African women as possible. Director Price took the completed film to most of the big studios and television networks, but they all rejected it. Finally, he took it to exploitation legend Dan Sonney, who marketed it as an “outlaw” picture—one that was “too hot” for Hollywood. This original window card is in near mint condition.
MARILYN (1963) 6544
Original 20th Century Fox Three Sheet Poster (41×81). Folded. Very fine plus condition.
More Details
Original 20th Century Fox Three Sheet Poster (41x81) for the Harold Medford documentary, MARILYN (1963)—starring Marilyn Monroe and narrated by Rock Hudson. This excellent but often overlooked documentary is a compilation of clips from Monroe’s movies for Fox starting from her beginnings as a bit player in A TICKET TO TOMAHAWK (1950) to final role in SOMETHING’S GOT TO GIVE (1962), a film that was never finished. Monroe’s erratic behavior pushed the film to more than $1 million over budget in just a few weeks of filming; so, Fox fired Monroe. But when co-star Dean Martin refused to work with anybody else, Fox rehired Monroe. But when Monroe died in August of 1962, Fox decided to scrap the whole project. This original three sheet poster is folded and in very fine plus condition.

More Details

So, he recruits over 40 of his friends and family to help him out, and for the next six weeks Cocker and friends become a kind of touring commune.

LET IT BE (1970) 6759
Original United Artists One Sheet Poster (27×41). Folded. Fine plus condition.
More Details
This is an original United Artists one sheet poster for the Beatles concert film, LET IT BE (1970). After the release of YELLOW SUBMARINE, the Beatles had one more movie obligation to United Artists. It was early 1969 and the most famous rock group in the world had just released THE BEATLES, also called The White Album, in which the disparate aspirations of the individual group members was more in evidence. The phantasmagoria of the psychedelic period in The Beatles music was ended. LET IT BE was attempt to record the group on film rehearsing and performing. By all accounts making the movie was an excruciating experience for The Beatles. Filming was at first held at the cold and drafty Twickenham Studios and then later in the converted basement studio at Apple's headquarters. LET IT BE shows the group essentially at the end of their career as a band, and the famous rooftop concert which is the end of the film was the last time that The Beatles played together for an audience. The film also features keyboard player Billy Preston, who sat in as a "fifth" Beatle for the production of the film. This iconic poster is one of the nicest posters of the Fab Four. The poster is folded and in fine plus condition with only slight wear in the border area.

Original Cuban One Sheet Poster (20×30). Very good condition.
More Details

Not intended for American audiences, but rather made for Communist Cuba—many consider this film to be a masterpiece of polemical documentary cinema. This original Cuban poster is in very good condition.
