  Graduate, The

  £695.00

  “This is Benjamin. He’s a little worried about his future.”

  Nautilus Art Prints released this Laurent Durieux variant as a limited run of 200 in 2017. In this poster, Durieux creates a bright and colourful retro summer aesthetic as he illustrates the memorable scuba-suit pool scene from Mark Nichols’ 1967 comedy-drama-romance “The Graduate”. This scene was very symbolic in displaying Ben’s (Dustin Hoffman) lack of control over his future whilst he was still trapped under hs parents control. The 12-colour screen print is signed by Durieux and hand-numbered #36/200. Having a very limited release these alternative movie posters are incredibly rare. Unrestored, this rolled (as issued) poster presents and displays to exceptional effect and represents a superb example of genuinely scarce modern film memorabilia featuring one of Hollywood’s greatest romantic comedy’s…classic and very COOL!

  Trivia: In the famous promotional still and original poster for this film, Dustin Hoffman is seen in the background framed by Mrs. Robinson’s shapely leg. The leg in that photo didn’t belong to Anne Bancroft, however; it belonged to a then-unknown model, Linda Gray, who later played Mrs. Robinson in a London stage musical of The Graduate & Sue Ellen Ewing in the TV show Dallas.

  The Quatermass Xperiment

  £195.00

  “It’s coming for YOU from Space to wipe all living things from the face of the Earth! CAN IT BE STOPPED?”

  Blending horror and science fiction in the way that only Hammer can, “The Quatermass Xperiment” delivers a haunting vision of the terrifying consequences of unchecked exploration. In this tense, suspenseful tale of scientific ambition gone awry, a space expedition takes a nightmarish turn when an astronaut crash-lands on Earth—only to begin mutating into something horrifyingly inhuman. As his transformation accelerates, his struggle to contain violent urges proves increasingly futile. Scientists and authorities race to understand the catastrophe unfolding before them, in a desperate attempt to prevent a monstrous disaster. Created by the legendary Nigel Kneale and directed by the great Val Guest, “The Quatermass Xperiment”  is available for the first time ever in 4K UHD and the  poster offered here is from the 4K release in 2024. Released by Hammer for a very limited cinematic run that coincided with the newly remastered Blu Ray, this extremely rare UK quad is from the cinema release and not one of the 10 offered as an incentive on Hammer’s website. It really is an incredible poster with some outstanding horror artwork by Graham Humphreys. It presents to excellent effect and is a must have Hammer Horror collectable.

  Trivia: The decision to drop the “e” from the title The Quatermass Xperiment was a deliberate and strategic choice by Hammer Films. When the film was released in 1955, the British Board of Film Censors had recently introduced the ‘X’ certificate, restricting admission to those aged 16 and over. Hammer sought to highlight the film’s mature themes and unsettling content by integrating the letter ‘X’ directly into the title. This subtle yet effective alteration served not only as a marketing tool but also as a signal to audiences that this was a bold and provocative work—one that pushed the boundaries of what was typically shown in British science fiction cinema at the time.

  The Wild Geese

  £125.00

  “The Dogs of War. The Best **** Mercenaries in the Business !”

  The late 1970’s is generally regarded as a ‘golden’ age for explosive action movies at the cinema and in 1978 three of the greatest, hard drinking actors of their generation were signed up to star in Andrew V.McLaglen’s British actioner “The Wild Geese”. Released at a time to be considered politically incorrect it never achieved the success or praise it richly deserved but has since gone on to be a firm favourite with fans of gritty action genre films. The artwork of the original 1978 movie poster has been adapted here to complement the 2025 4K Remastered release and once again offers some exceptional character driven artwork by Arnaldo Putzu of Roger Moore, Richard Harris, Hardy Kruger and Richard Burton against an eye catching golden backdrop that really accentuates Putzu’s imagery. Originally rolled (as issued) with minimal handling wear this beautiful film poster represents a truly outstanding example of rare and collectable original movie memorabilia from one of the best British action films of the late 70’s. These posters are unique to the UK and extremely scarce and used only to promote the very limited cinema screenings.

  Trivia: Sir Roger Moore requested to have fewer lines in his scenes with Sir Richard Burton and Richard Harris. This kind of request was almost unheard of from a major star. His reasoning was, “You don’t seriously expect me to act against these guys?”
