Original Miramax Films Style B Advance One Sheet Poster of Catharine Zeta-Jones (27×41) for the Rob Marshall musical comedy, CHICAGO (2002) starring Renee Zellweger, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Richard Gere. The film version was adapted from a 1975 musical choreographed and directed by Bob Fosse, which opened at the 46th Street Theater on May 12,1975 and ran for 936 performances. This musical was itself an adaptation of a 1926 non-musical play. The story takes place in Chicago in the 1920s and features Velma (Zeta-Jones), a chanteuse and tease who killed her husband and her sister after finding them in bed together. The other main character is Roxie (Zellweger), who killed her boyfriend when she discovered that he wasn’t going to make her a star. The two find themselves on death row together and must fight for the fame that will keep them from the gallows. The film was nominated for 13 Academy Awards and won 6—including Best Picture and Best Supporting Actress to Zeta-Jones. This original double-sided style B advance one sheet poster is rolled and in very fine condition.

This is an original British One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Laurence Olivier Shakespearean masterpiece, RICHARD III (1955). In addition to Olivier directing and playing the title role, he is joined by four other knighted British thespians—Cedric Hardwicke, Ralph Richardson, John Gielgud, and Stanley Baker. The beautiful and talented Claire Bloom plays The Lady Anne. This is probably the finest example of a Machiavellian monarch on film. King Richard was capable of using deception, manipulation, and outright murder to achieve his goals. Laurence Olivier was the greatest Shakespearean actor of his time, and this role was certainly one of his best. This original British stone lithograph one sheet poster is linen-backed and in fine condition with some touch-up to the fold lines and restoration to the border area.

Original Embassy Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the hilarious science fiction Christmas fantasy, SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS (1964) directed by Nicholas Webster and starring John Call, Leonard Hicks, and Vincent Beck. This amateurish, low-budget kids movie is generally considered to be one of the worst films ever made. Santa is kidnapped by distraught Martians with bad green makeup, dishwasher parts glued to their heads, and cheesy capes. The Martians are attempting to rescue their depressive and antisocial children by giving them toys. While the Martians were utterly ridiculous to adults, they unintentionally frightened many of the children in the audience. The film ends with pseudo-rousing “Hooray for Santa Claus” complete with subtitles that encourage the audience to sing along. Not many did. This original one sheet poster is in very fine condition with only tiny distresses at the fold intersections but with no separations at the fold lines.

Charlie Kaufman’s screenplay is a strange but tender experience about love and romance. Carrey plays a real, three-dimensional character who plans to have his memories of his girlfriend (Winslet) erased from his memory. But Carrey’s subconscious doesn’t want to let go of these memories. The film won the Oscar for Best Screenplay, and Kate Winslet was nominated for Best Actress. This original double-sided one sheet poster is rolled and in very fine condition.

Original Miramax Films Advance One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Quentin Tarantino crime-drama-comedy masterpiece, PULP FICTION (1994) starring John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis, and Uma Thurman. One of the most fascinating crime-drama/comedies ever conceived and a modern favorite. Presented out of chronological order, the film incorporates a rich and intelligent dialogue and mixes humor and violence with skill and irony. The film was nominated for seven Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director. Tarantino and Roger Avary won the Academy Award for Best Screenplay. The film revitalized the acting career of John Travolta, who received an Academy Award nomination, as did costars Samuel L. Jackson and Uma Thurman. This original Advance One Sheet is the recalled “Lucky Strikes” poster that sports a pack of the popular cigarettes on the poster. The cigarette manufacturer objected to their product being used on the poster, and Miramax issued a slightly different version. Regular one sheets sell for much less; this “Lucky Strikes” recalled teaser is one of the most sought after film posters of the last 25 years. This original advance one sheet poster is rolled and in near mint condition. Fakes abound. The scarce originals can be determined by their exact dimensions and certain anomalies in the printing characteristic of the reproductions. Absolutely original.
