Original 20th Century-Fox One Sheet Poster for the Henry Koster comedy, DEAR BRIGITTE (1965) starring James Stewart, Fabian, Glynis Johns, Cindy Carol, Bill Mumy, and Brigitte Bardot. The main theme of this film has Professor Leaf (Stewart) granting the wish of his 8-year-old, math whiz son Erasmus (Mumy) to meet French film starlet Brigitte Bardot. This was Stewart’s third and final comedy made at Fox during the 1960s under the direction of Henry Koster. The movie was going to be called ERASMUS WITH FRECKLES, after the book on which it was based. But Brigitte Bardot only agreed to appear in the film on the condition that her name did not appear on the credits or any promotional materials. The only way for the producers to capitalize on the popularity of Bardot was by changing the title to alert the audience that she was in the film. With Jack Davis artwork, this original one sheet poster is folded and in fine condition—with a small interior tear and some pinholes. This poster would line-back nicely.

The special effects are supremely creative and awesome for 1977. The casting is also great, the screenplay and direction are superb, and the score by John Williams is iconic. The film was nominated for eleven Academy Awards and won seven of them. This film is considered a central part of movie history. This original three sheet poster is folded and in very fine plus condition.

The film is quite fun and entertaining with strong central characters, good supporting cast, humor, innuendo, mystery, and—most especially—suspense. This original one sheet poster is folded and in fine plus condition, with an irregular crease but no fold separations.

Original Universal Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Federico Fellini biographical drama, FELLINI’S CASANOVA (1976) starring Donald Sutherland, Tina Aumont, and Cicely Browne. Casanova was an 18th Century Venetian writer, wit, and aesthete living in an era of grand opulence but also of grand waste, and Sutherland portrays Casanova as both a sexually ravenous as well as a deeply cynical man. A frightening but hauntingly beautiful film, many critics consider it to be Fellini’s last great film and Sutherland’s career best performance. The film was nominated for Best Screenplay and deservedly won the Oscar for Best Costume Design. This original one sheet poster is folded and in fine condition.
