Original United Artists Three Sheet Poster (41×81). Linen-backed. Very fine condition.
More Details
Original three sheet poster for THE GREAT ESCAPE, John Sturges timeless film about tireless and determined Allied prisoners of war who plan an elaborate escape from a Nazi prisoner of war camp. An all star cast was assembled including James Garner, Richard Attenborough, James Donald, Charles Bronson and Donald Pleasance. But it was Steve McQueen who, in this film, permanently cemented super-star status and became the first real motorcyling icon since Brando had intimidated rural California folk in THE WILD ONE. McQueen's cross-country motorcycling was the exciting climax of Sturges lively and suspenseful tale of Allied soldiers who could be kept pinned down or penned up. This original three sheet poster is linen-backed and in very fine condition.
THE GREAT DICTATOR (1940) 20182
Original United Artists Scene Lobby Card (11×14). Very fine condition.
More Details
Original United Artists Scene Lobby Card (11x14) for the Charles Chaplin comedy masterpiece, THE GREAT DICTATOR (1940)—starring Chaplin, Paulette Goddard, Jack Oakie, and Reginald Gardiner. Chaplin’s great satire on Nazi Germany, THE GREAT DICTATOR was the first Hollywood film to renounce Hitler directly, took a very strong stand against fascism, and even directly confronts anti-Semitism. Besides being a box office success, the film was nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor and Screenplay for Chaplin. This original scene lobby card is in very fine condition.
THE CONSPIRATORS (1944) 19646
Original Warner Bros. One Sheet Poster (27×41). Linen-backed. Fine condition.
More Details
This is an original Warner Bros. One Sheet Poster (27x41) for the Jean Negulesco war drama, THE CONSPIRATORS (1944)—starring Hedy Lamarr, Paul Henreid, Sydney Greenstreet, and Peter Lorre. Three of the CASABLANCA stars (Henreid, Greenstreet, and Lorre) return with Lamarr in this wartime story about a Dutch freedom fighter who is having trouble in neutral Lisbon figuring out who are his friends and who are his enemies. Henreid also falls under the spell of the incredibly beautiful Lamarr who guards her secrets carefully. The film was not well received, but this poster is classic Warner Bros. design. This original one sheet poster is linen-backed and in fine condition.
THE CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE (1936) 19995
Original Warner Bros. Scene Lobby Card (11×14). Linen-finished. Some minor flaws only visible under close examination. Fine to very fine condition.
More Details
Original Warner Bros. Scene Lobby Card (11x14) for the Michael Curtiz epic war adventure, THE CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE (1936)—starring Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland. This is the only scene card in the set for this film which features both Flynn and de Havilland. Errol Flynn, flush with the huge success of CAPTAIN BLOOD, re-teams with co-star de Havilland and director Curtiz to create this epic tale, which owes more to the prose of Rudyard Kipling than to the famous poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson. While the final “charge” is one of the most incredible scenes ever filmed, so many horses were injured and had to be destroyed that humane societies nationwide raised such an outcry that standards were established to bar this kind of cruelty to animals in the future. The card does exhibit some minor flaws only visible under close examination-- including a small chip our of the top left corner, pinholes in the top border, minor staining in the bottom corners, and some light creases. This lovely linen-finished (not to be confused with linen-backing) scene card features the classic pair in a smoldering embrace and is in fine to very fine condition.
THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI (1957) 15587
Original Columbia Pictures Insert Poster (14×36). Originally folded. Very fine condition, except incidental ballpoint pen scribbling and stray black marks at the bottom of the poster. SIGNED BY DAVID LEAN.
More Details
This is an original Columbia Pictures Insert Poster (14x36) for the David Lean World War II adventure masterpiece, THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI (1957)—starring William Holden Jack Hawkins, and Alec Guinness. The poster is signed in black marker by David Lean. After settling his differences with a Japanese PoW camp commander, a British colonel (Guiness) cooperates to oversee his men’s construction of a railway bridge for their captors—while oblivious to a play by the Allies to destroy it. From the very beginning of the film to its spectacular climax, Lean builds and maintains the subtle tension that underscores this exceptinal drama. This critically acclaimed film and box office favorite won seven Academy Awards—including Best Actor to Guiness, Best Director to Lean, Best Musical Score, Best Screenplay, and Best Picture. Originally folded, this original insert poster is signed by Director Lean and is in very fine condition except for some incidental ballpoint pen scribbling and stray black marks at the bottom of the poster.
THE AVENGERS (1942) 6531
Original Paramount Pictures Style A One Sheet Poster (27×41). Very fine condition, unbacked.
More Details
Original Paramount Pictures Style A One Sheet Poster (27x41) for the Harold French war drama, THE AVENGERS (1942)—starring Hugh Williams, Griffith Jones, Deborah Kerr, and Ralph Richardson. 1940s British cinema is understandably packed with wartime propaganda pieces, and this film (British title: THE DAY WILL DAWN) is markedly more propagandistic than most of the period. Williams plays a British foreign correspondent investigating German U-boat activities in Norway. The Brits of course save the day from the cowardly Germans. And though sacrifice is made; the greater good is served. Notice the Morse Code dot-dot-dot-dash across the bottom -- the Allies moniker of Victory.
THE ANGEL WORE RED (1960) 19809
Original MGM Window Card (14×22). Very fine condition.
More Details
This is an original MGM Window Card (14x22) for the Nunnally Johnson war drama, THE ANGEL WORE RED (1960)—starring Ava Gardner, Dirk Bogarde, and Joseph Cotten. Adapted by Johnson from the Bruce Mashall novel “The Fair Bride,” this was the last film directed by the prolific screenwriter Johnson. It tells the story of a priest (Bogarde) who travels to Spain during the Spanish Civil War to join the Loyalists and falls in love with the beautiful Soledad (Gardner). Bogarde gives a dynamic performance as the tortured young priest who has lost his faith in the church but not his faith in God. Gardner, one of the most beautiful women in the movies, is also very good as the cynical yet somehow innocent entertainer and prostitute. The chemistry between the two is intense and believable. Both the Loyalists and the Franco rebels are presented as equally flawed and totalitarian. This original window card is in very fine condition.

Original MGM Three Sheet Poster (41×81). On two separate panels. Very good condition.
