ELMER GANTRY (1960) 8657
Original United Artists One Sheet Poster (27×41). Near mint condition.
More Details
Original United Artists One Sheet Poster (27x41) for the Richard Brooks drama, ELMER GANTRY (1960)—starring Burt Lancaster, Jean Simmons, Arthur Kennedy, Dean Jagger, and Shirley Jones. Richard Brooks’ screenplay was adapted from the highly controversial novel by Sinclair Lewis, and no studio initially wanted to finance the film. The story deals with Gantry (Lancaster)-- a fast-talking, hard drinking traveling salesman. He becomes fascinated with a charismatic female evangelist (Simmons) and teams up with her to “sell” religion to America in the 1920s. But Gantry’s sordid past catches up with him in the form of a prostitute named Lulu (Jones). The film was nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture. It won three Oscars: Best Actor to Lancaster, Best Supporting Actress to Jones, and Best Adapted Screenplay to Brooks. This original one sheet poster is in near mint condition.
EMPLOYEES ENTRANCE (1933) 16290
Original First National Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41). Linen-backed. Fine.
More Details
This is an original First National Pictures One Sheet Poster (27x41) for the depression-era, department store drama, EMPLOYEE’S ENTRANCE (1933)—directed by Roy Del Ruth and starring Warren William, Loretta Young, and Wallace Ford. 12,000 workers pass through the “employee’s entrance” of New York’s Franklin Monroe & Co department store in 1933, but the firm’s financial condition is going down fast. William is an amoral, conniving, tyrannical manager, and Loretta Young (at age 20) is a new sales girl who sleeps with William in order to get her job. Ford is a rising star in the store and secretly married to Young. But even though William is a tyrant, he also struggles to avoid laying off thousands of employees in a fight to the death with the bankers. The screenplay is well written, fast paced, and witty. This was a “pre-code” film and seems quite risqué for the time. This era of social frankness would not reemerge until the counter-culture of the 1960’s. This original one sheet poster is linen-backed and in fine plus condition. The colors are vivid, and there is no missing paper. There is some minimal repair to fold separations. A truly stunning "pre-code" poster.
