Original American International One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Daniel Haller horror film, THE DUNWICH HORROR (1970) starring Sandra Dee, Dean Stockwell, Ed Begley, and Lloyd Bochner. This is the story of a very strange fellow named Wilbur (Stockwell), the grandson of a warlock who was lynched years earlier, who asks to borrow a magical book of the Necronomicon (a book of the dead) from his professor (Begley), but his professor refuses. Next he turns his attentions to Nancy (Dee) who winds up staying at his house for the weekend and wishing she hadn’t. Although there are some truly creepy moments in the film, there is also a lot of unintentional hilarity as well. This original one sheet poster is in very fine plus condition.

Original United Artists One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Thomas Carr western, CAST A LONG SHADOW (1959) starring Audie Murphy, Terry Moore, John Dehner, and James Best. This low budget western tells the story of a young man (Murphy) who inherits a big ranch and must prove his ability to manage a cattle drive. This original one sheet poster is in good condition, with some small holes and a missing chip in the border area.

Three sheet poster for the United Artists film COMANCHE starring Dana Andrews, Kent Smith and Linda Cristal. The story of Comanche Quanah Parker and the hostilties between white settlers and Indians in early Texas. This tale has been told many times, but this
CinemaScope treatment presented the story in an epic fashion. This film introduced actress Linda Cristal to filmgoing audiences. The
posters shows Kent Smith on his horse. Very Fine. This three sheet was printed on two panels and both panels are in very fine condition.

Original MGM One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Norman Jewison gambling drama, THE CINCINNATI KID (1965) starring Steve McQueen, Ann-Margret, Karl Malden, Tuesday Weld, and Edward G. Robinson. Set in New Orleans in the 1930s, the Cincinnati Kid (McQueen) is a young stud poker player who goes from one big game to the next, until he is finally pitted against the legendary cardsharp Lancey Howard (Robinson). The final showdown at the hotel is probably the most tense and exciting poker game ever filmed. This original one sheet poster is in fair to good condition, with some tape and small holes. The poster would linen-back nicely. Ask us about poster restoration.

Original MGM Three Sheet Poster (41×81) for the Vincente Minnelli melodrama THE SANDPIPER (1965) starring Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton,Eva Marie Saint, and Charles Bronson. Taylor is a gorgeous bohemian painter (if only!) living gorgeously in the Big Sur area of the California Pacific Coast. Richard Burton is the schoolmaster of an church affiliated school for boys, married to the the dutiful Eva Marie Saint. Mix the two and you have an illicit romance set against the driftwood and sea gulls. This one is a guilty pleasure. MGM’s idea seemed to be to exploit the white hot fame of moviedom’s most famous couple while at the same time trying to drag the Burton’s back somewhere near respectability. Bronson is Taylor’s hunky boyfriend. The poster has that sort of modernist look to the illustration. The three sheet is comprised of two separate panels. This was a theater-used copy and the two panels are already joined. Fine condition with some obvious wear, colors good. There are some minor flaws indicative of general wear and tear. This copy would linen back very well. Ask us about poster conservation and linen backing.
