Original Australian Daybill (14×30) for the Peter R. Hunt spy thriller, ON HER MAJESTY’S SECRET SERVICE (1969) starring George Lazenby, Diana Rigg, Telly Savalas, and Gabriele Ferzetti. This was the sixth film based on the famous Ian Fleming spymaster James Bond, and the film starred George Lazenby in the title role. He was quite good in the role; indeed, he was nominated for a Golden Globe as “Most Promising Male Newcomer.” Considered by many critics to be one of the best Bond movies; the film was certainly closest to the Ian Fleming source material. Director Hunt ditched all the silly gadgets but still crafted an elaborate action thriller. The film boasts a brilliant screenplay, excellent use of fantastic locations, lush cinematography, and a sweeping majestic score by John Barry

This Belgian original poster is for the William Wyler film THE CHILDREN’S HOUR starring Audrey Hepburn, Shirley MacLaine and James Garner. The original source material was a play by the great Lillian Hellman. It had been made into a film in the 1936 as THESE THREE but the homosexual subject matter had been too hot for the censors at that time, and so the sexual triangle had been heterosexual. But Wyler, who had directed the 1936 film, wanted to film the play as it had been intended, and the less restricted atmosphere of the early sixties made that possible. Still the film is somewhat restrained by today’s standards. Miriam Hopkins who had played one of the women in the 1936 film appeared again in 1962 in the role of another character. The poster is unfolded and is in very fine condition. There is a small tear at the top border which has been repaired with archival tissue. The name of the Belgian cinema, Acropole, is printed in the playdate area.

Original United Artists Style B One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Stanley Kramer cult comedy classic, IT’S A MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD (1963) starring Spencer Tracy, Milton Berle, Side Caesar, and Buddy Hackett. With a $7 million budget, this movie wanted to be the biggest, most lavish comedy ever made with a seeming cast of “thousands” of some of the funniest comedians of the time. The movie-wags pronounced Stanley Kramer MAD when he departed from his usual brand – the socially conscious, progressive, liberal film that had marked his career throughout the 1950s — films like THE DEFIANT ONES, ON THE BEACH and INHERIT THE WIND, and filmed this comic epic for the new single-lens CINERAMA circuit. But in a way, Kramer was merely continuing his war against greed, but this time in a comic vein, using the best comedians of the era to show what happens when avarice takes over the lives of a group of people out to find a pile of buried cash. Two wonderful posters were created for the film, one by Mad magazine artist Jack Davis and this one by the modernist illustrator and designer Saul Bass. This style B one sheet is for the 35mm release of the movie. The poster has some fold separation in the top vertical fold and minor pinholes and rumples. This original one sheet poster is folded and in fine plus condition.

The film received three Oscar nominations: Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, and Best Musical Score. This original Belgian poster is unfolded and in very fine condition.

U.S. One sheet for the Edgar Ulmer film CARNEGIE HALL.

Original United Artists One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Terence Young spy thriller, DR. NO (1962) starring Sean Connery, Ursula Andress, and Joseph Wiseman. This was the first James Bond feature film, and it profited from the creator Ian Fleming being greatly involved in the production. There is no overload of explosions or special effects. The plot can be told clearly, taken seriously, and enjoyed from start to finish. DR. NO set the standards, albeit on a limited budget, for the entire series. Connery’s brilliant use of charm, coolness, and cruelty truly defined the Bond character, and his portrayal of the ultimate spy has never been equaled. The film was a box office smash success and vindicated the studio’s decision to sign the unknown Connery. This original one sheet poster is folded and in near mint condition.
