  Get Carter (Supplied Framed)

  £195.00

  “Now. Go on. Now. Now, hold them – gently. Slowly. Imagine it’s me. When we’re in South America – we’ll make love in the sun. Roll over. Make love again – and again.”

  This original publicity still is priced and supplied framed

  Autographed with character name Anna by Britt Ekland at HorrorCon 2024 (Sunday 12th May). This original black & white publicity still features Ekland’s Anna (in one of the most memorable scenes from the movie) having phone sex with Caine’s Carter. Flat and unfolded (as issued), in exceptional condition, and offered in a custom made black frame finished with UV plexiglass. A movie that is highly regarded as a true classic of the genre and a hugely collectable piece of horror, sci-fi film memorabilia…“Frank wasn’t like that. I’m the villain in the family, remember?”

  Trivia: Sir Michael Caine made subtle changes to Mike Hodges‘ depiction of Carter in the script, cut out pleasantries and gave him a cold, hard edge, closer to Ted Lewis‘ original envisioning of the character.

  The Italian Job

  £175.00

  “This is the self preservation society”

  A personal favourite that’s “bloody” hard to come by…A rolled country of origin (British) quad film poster from the 55th Anniversary 2024 re-release for the classic Michael Caine crime caper “The Italian Job”. A modern classic re-imagined poster design for what is possibly the greatest British crime caper film of all time. Presented rolled (as issued) it displays to excellent effect with only the minimal signs of any handling wear. Unquestionably the Film is a cultural masterpiece that has become legendary…a true British institution…An incredibly rare piece of film and “British” memorabilia that perfectly captures that moment in time…“They say he’s going to do a job in Italy…Well, I hope he likes spaghetti. They serve it four times a day in the Italian prisons”

  Trivia: BMC (British Motor Corporation), the owners of the Mini, refused to donate any cars to the film. The boss of Fiat Motors, offered to donate all the cars they needed, including Fiat 500s in place of the Minis. The director, however, decided that, as it was a very British film, it should be British Minis. Fiat’s boss still donated scores of cars for filming, as well as the factory grounds, and even though the authorities refused to close the roads, the Italian Mafia stepped in, and shut whole sections of Turin down for filming, so the traffic jams in the film are real, as are people’s actions during it.
