Original Italian Locandina (13×27) for William Friedkin’s film of the Mart Crowley play, THE BOYS IN THE BAND (1970), starring Kenneth Nelson, Frederick Combs, and Cliff Gorman. This was one of the first mainstream films that brought homosexuality up close and personal to American filmgoing audiences. The movie went through a period of being considered unfashionable, but it is today recognized that this movie, released one year after The Stonewall Riots in New York, was humanizing and daring at the same time. The Italian poster has a slightly comic look contributing to its charm. Very fine condition.

Original Cinema Center Films/National General Pictures Pressbook (9×14) of Arthur Penn’s historical drama, LITTLE BIG MAN (1970) starring Dustin Hoffman, Faye Dunaway and Chief Dan George. The film is a memoir, essentially – a recounting by the 100 year old Jack Crabb of his life among the Indians, having been adopted by them as a child after a raid on settlers. More than just an attempt to turn the settlers and Indians conflict on its head, LITTLE BIG MAN is a wonderful comic/serious look at how experience shapes reality. One of the best films of the decade of the 1970s, the film remains fresh today. This little pressbook is packed with production details. The pressbook is in very fine condition with no excisions.
