  Marilyn

Featuring stunning artwork and an amazing colour palette, from Boris Grinsson of Monroe in “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes”, this French “Grande” poster is from the 1975 re-release of the film in France. Stunning in person, and impressive not just because of Grinsson’s imagery and use of colour, but also due to the large format, it exudes glamour and old Hollywood.

  The Notorious Bettie Page

  £95.00

  “Show some restraint !”

  An original US one sheet movie poster for Mary Harron’s S & M, bondage biopic for “The Notorious Bettie Page”. A sexy and distinctive design by creative arts agency ‘And Company’ is extremely sought after and collectible. This clever, teasingly designed advance teaser US film poster is from first year of release 2005 and is printed on a heavier than usual quality paper stock. Being originally rolled (as issued) it displays to excellent effect with striking red background colour and eye-catching ‘Bettie Page’ (Gretchen Mol) imagery. Beautifully presented this scarce example represents a fine piece of original and desirable film movie memorabilia…Certainly a talking piece.

  Trivia: Was originally going to be ‘Mary Harron”s follow up to I Shot Andy Warhol but for some unknown reason the financiers backed out at the last minute. Around that time Harron was given a copy of the novel ‘American Psycho’ and she decided to make it her next film until she could find financiers for her Bettie Page movie. It then took almost five years to get the money for The Notorious Bettie Page. Guinevere Turner also co-wrote both this film and American Psycho (2000) with Harron.

  Valentino

  £60.00

  “In life he was a movie star, in death he became a legend”…Rare and original UK Quad quad film poster for Ken Russell’s 1977 biopic of the silent screen heart-throb Rudolph Valentino…”Valentino”. Controversial director Ken Russell chose the ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev to star in what turned out to be a lavish but under-rated production…This originally folded example looks superb with deep rich colours and detailling, focusing on the two stars (Nureyev & Leslie Caron). Like most of Russell’s films it only had a very limited release so posters like this are genuinely rare & very hard to come by.
