“A Force more powerful than 1,000 H-Bombs unleashed to devastate earth ! World in panic ! Cities in flames !”
A beautiful and incredibly rare, complete set of eight (8), British front of house lobby cards for one of Hammer’s best – Roy Ward Baker’s 1967 supernatural alien invasion thriller “Quatermass and the Pit”. All eight cards feature Hammer regular Andrew Keir as Professor Bernard Quatermass in a variety of key scenes from the film. Flat and unfolded (as issued) with strong vibrant colours this totally original unrestored set of lobby cards, from first year of release 1967 present superbly and are a very rare example of country of origin Hammer Horror memorabilia from one of their finest and most respected productions…“You realise what you are implying? That we owe our human condition here to the intervention of insects”
Trivia: When Dr. Quatermass is picking at the eyeball of the dead Martian creature in his laboratory, the pupils of the compound eye are a rectangular slot shape rather then round like a human eye. This is reminiscent of a goat’s eye, a creature that, for centuries, has been associated with witchcraft and sorcery.

A critical and commercial success and perhaps the best British movie (gangster or otherwise) ever made…John MacKenzie’s “The Long Good Friday”. Receiving a very limited release in UK cinemas (it was nearly never released due to financial problems & only saved as a cinematic production by George Harrison, with his Handmade Films stepping in at the 11th hour) meant that any paper is scarce, with the British one sheet featuring Ron Fenton’s artwork, the scarcest of them all (this is the only time I have offered one for sale) making this original 1980 British, country of origin one sheet, a rare find especially in such high grade condition. Fenton’s exciting action montage for this classic British gangster film features an exploding rolls Royce, an exploding casino, mobsters being hung upside down on meathooks in an abattoir and some incredible character portraits – Bob Hoskins in arguably his best film role, alongside Helen Mirren, Eddie Constantine and P.H. Moriarty (as the psychotic hardman Razors). This excellent example is presented rolled (as issued) and represents an exceptional piece of collectable original film memorabilia from a true British gangster classic…“The Mafia? I’ve shit ’em”
Trivia: The actors being held upside-down on meathooks in the abattoir had to be supported between takes, to prevent them passing out.

Receiving a very limited release in UK cinemas (it was nearly never released due to financial problems & only saved as a cinematic production by George Harrison, with his Handmade Films stepping in at the 11th hour) meant that any paper is scarce, with black and white promotional and press stills particularly elusive. making this original 1980 British, country of origin example, a rare find especially in such high grade condition. The imagery featured is one the most memorable scenes from the film, as Harold (Bob Hoskins) in an effort to find out who is threatening him interrogates fellow mobsters by hanging them upside down on meathooks in a freezing abattoir. Presented flat (as issued) it represents an exceptional piece of collectable original film memorabilia from a true British gangster classic…“The Mafia? I’ve shit ’em”
