Beautifully executed and designed poster attributed to Stephen Frankfurt and Philip Gips. One of the best sports movie posters ever created, with the complementing Style A one of the others. Here Robert Redford as Winter Olympic skier David Chappellet is depicted in full on skier pose with an almost psychedelic effect to add to the feeling of motion. Hugely effective you really can feel the speed and excitement.

Particularly sought after by skiing enthusiasts this represents a fine piece of sports / movie memorabilia that is becoming increasingly hard to find from a superior sports movie and one of the best skiing films ever made.

Beautiful example with imagery that immediately identifies it and makes it instantly recognisable for Dennis Hopper’s cult hugely influential motorbike road movie “Easy Rider”. Fantastic pop art design by Dosshaus featuring the familiar image of Wyatt (Peter Fonda) and using the the Stars and Stripes of the American flag as a memorable backdrop – the bold colours literally do ‘pop’ out from from the paper of this original Italian locandina film poster from the 2019 re-release. Originally rolled (as issued) this original unrestored example is a great find in such high grade condition, as it is genuinely scarce due to the very limited theatrical release. A very collectable and desirable example of cinema movie memorabilia for one of the defining cultural movies of the psychedelic 60’s appealing to film and motorcycle collectors…The ultimate ‘road’ movie !
Trivia: The Captain America jacket worn and designed designed by Peter Fonda was made by “two little old ladies” in Los Angeles. It was later sold at a charity auction.

“Far Up…Far Out…Far More..”
A US window card from the first year of release 1969 for George Lazenby‘s one & only appearance as Ian Fleming’s super spy James Bond in “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”. A magnificent James Bond poster with bold vibrant colours and a combination of intricate and detailed all-action artwork from regular Bond illustrators Frank McCarthy and Robert McGinnis, make for particularly fine and memorable poster that is immediately recognisable as a Bond film. The window card format is particularly scarce with far fewer printed than the regular one-sheets and due to its smaller size is perfect for display. Presented unrestored in original unfolded (as issued) condition this rare example demonstrates some light handling and age wear and displays to impressive effect and represents a fantastic piece of collectable James Bond cinematic memorabilia from one of the most respected entries in this long running franchise.
Trivia: George Lazenby suggested a scene where Bond skis off a cliff and opens a parachute. This was scrapped, as the filmmakers lacked the resources to pull it off. It was used as the opening for The Spy Who Loved Me (1977).

“HOW MRS 007 MET HER MAN”
A black and white publicity still from the first year of release 1969 for George Lazenby‘s one & only appearance as Ian Fleming’s super spy James Bond in “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”. A fantastic image featuring not only Lazenby as Bond, but also Diana Rigg as Teresa ‘Tracy’ Draco the soon to be Mrs.Bond (SPOILER: although not for very long). There was reputed to be a real lack of rapport between the two characters it was reported as a frosty relationship on set – I think that comes across very well here, either that or hats off to Ring for some first class acting. This is the first time I have seen this image, with Bond collectors stating it being particularly scarce. Presented unrestored in original flat and unfolded (as issued) condition this rare example displays very well with only some light handling and age wear. The rear of the still carries a printed snipe titled “HOW MRS 007 MET HER MAN” with a full breakdown of the scene and further information regarding the production. A fantastic piece of collectable James Bond cinematic memorabilia from one of the most respected entries in this long running franchise.
Sold in a photographic mount, which can be removed if desired.

A classic and scarce original 2019 BFI 50th Anniversary 4K release British UK quad film poster for John Schlesinger’s multi Award winning “Midnight Cowboy”, still the only X-Rated movie to win an Oscar. It was nominated for seven and won three including Best Director for John Schlesinger which was an (then) unheard of return for an ‘X’ film. Beautiful distinctive character imagery; a great black & white character shot of ‘Ratso’ (Dustin Hoffman and ‘Joe’ (Jon Voight). Originally rolled (as issued) this example displays and presents to excellent effect with pure bright white background and crisp colour imagery. Showing in only a handful of independent and art-house cinemas the advertising campaign was very low key and the UK film poster that accompanied the extremely limited cinema release is truly hard to find with this fine example representing an impressive item of collectable original cinematic memorabilia.
Trivia: Dustin Hoffman kept pebbles in his shoe to ensure his limp would be consistent from shot to shot.

“Oh! What a Lovely War” was Richard Attenborough’ Directorial debut in 1969 and also resulted in a highly patriotic film poster with a Union Jack design and as Sim Branagan states in his 2006 book “British Film Posters” – “A clever and appealing spoof of the classic Kitchener call-up poster”. With initial design by John Billingham and finished artwork by Brian Sanders each section of the Union Jack flag feature a scene from the movie and include General Haig (John Mills) playing leap frog and Brighton Pier with the colours red, white and blue are enhanced with Khaki, lilac and different shades of blue, red & green. An exceptional and eye-catching looking film poster with superbly detailed imagery, this really is a beautifully designed stand out poster and is becoming increasingly hard to find. Originally folded (as issued) this 1969 UK quad film poster displays superbly with vibrant unfaded colour tones. This excellent unrestored example presents to very good effect and represents an fine piece of collectable original British film memorabilia.

“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 30th Anniversary 1999 re-release for the classic Michael Caine crime caper “The Italian Job”. Design agency Kennedy Monk have produced a modern classic for what is possibly the greatest British crime caper film of all time. This is impressive with a capital “I” deep colours and presented in exceptional original rolled condition…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.
