  Where Eagles Dare

  £995.00

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

  A rare, first release, 1968 Style B US one-sheet movie poster for Brian G. Hutton’s action packed World War II thriller “Where Eagles Dare”. This photographic imagery shows the famous drinking scene, taking place in Schloss Adler’s bierkeller as Richard Burton & Clint Eastwood (circled on the poster) mix with nazi officers guarding the castle. A really clever and memorable design that, because it was so different and out of the norm for an action adventure movie was printed in particularly low numbers when compared to the regular design; genuinely very, very hard to find. One of the most collected British action adventure war films ever produced. Originally folded (as issued) the example offered here has been professionally conservation linen backed to a very high standard by Backing to the Future (Their Certificate of Authenticity #2796 is included) and now appears rolled – it really does display to exceptional effect. 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 excellent 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.

  Withnail and I

  £1,795.00

  “I must have some booze. I demand to have some booze ! We want the finest wines available to humanity. And we want them here, and we want them now !”

  With its iconic Ralph Steadman artwork an incredible find, an original 1987 UK quad film poster for Bruce Robinson’s classic cult hit “Withnail and I”. Although now regarded as a truly iconic film on its initial release the reception was (too say the least) lukewarm based upon a very low key marketing campaign. One of the scarcest and most desirable British film posters of the 80’s. Steadman’s unique and immediately recognisable design for the title is bordered with an ornate gilded frame off set against a white tiled toilet wall covered with graffiti …Very much complementing the overall atmosphere of squalor that pervades the film. Offered here is an exceptional unrestored country of origin British UK quad movie poster from 1987  for one of the most celebrated British film’s of recent times. Originally ROLLED (as issued) this presents and displays without a fault; truly exceptional, investment grade condition original film movie memorabilia for…“One of the funniest British films ever made”…Jonathan Ross.

  Trivia: Much of this film’s promotional art is designed by illustrator Ralph Steadman, in the famous gonzo style he used and created for the works of Hunter S. Thompson notably Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998). He is listed as Miscellaneous Crew.
