  Till Death Us Do Part

  £95.00

  “Yer never saw Alf like this before !”

  “Till Death Us Do Part” was an early entry which began a trend of British TV sitcoms to make it to the big screen and the magnificent colourful ‘Union Jack” artwork on this original 1968 UK quad film poster provides  a great and memorable starting off point. It really is a fantastic looking eye catching poster with a naked Alf (Warren Mitchell aping a famous John Lennon pose of the time)  capturing the very essence of the hugely succesful TV series. Originally folded (as issued) this fine example displays and presents very well with only minimal handling & age wear… A huge and loving fanbase exists for this classic British comedy and this original film poster certainly brings back plenty of happy nostalgic memories…British TV comedy at it’s finest and an excellent piece of original collectable patriotic movie memorabilia.

  Where Eagles Dare

  £1,295.00

  “They look like Nazis but…The Major is British…The Lieutenant is American…The Beautiful Frauleins are Allied Agents !”

  An exceptionally rare Indian Three-Sheet from 1969 (the first year of release in India) for Brian G. Hutton’s action packed World War II thriller “Where Eagles Dare” features artwork by C. Mohan based on the original design by Frank McCarthy. The cable car scene is one of the best remembered and most famous scenes from the film and all of the elements are the same, from Eastwood on the cable car to the Castle of The Eagle engulfed in flames in the background. Fans of Bollywood will know at least one of C. Mohan’s pieces as he designed the title for “Sholay”, which is widely considered the greatest Bollywood movie of all time. One of the most collected British action adventure war films ever produced, with the originally folded (as issued) example offered here being presented conservation linen-backed – it displays to excellent with colours that pop, thanks to the stone litho printing process. Of all the action / adventure films I deal with there is no doubt that “Where Eagles Dare” appears to have an incredible fan base and this superb poster represents a fine piece of original movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: The driving force behind this movie was Richard Burton‘s stepson, who wanted to see his stepfather in a good old-fashioned adventure movie. Burton approached producer Elliott Kastner for ideas, who asked Alistair MacLean. At that time, most of MacLean’s novels had either been made into movies, or were in the process of being filmed. Kastner persuaded MacLean to write a new story. Six weeks later, MacLean delivered the script.
