  Caligula: The Ultimate Cut

  £95.00

  “What would you have done if you had been given absolute power of life and death over everybody else in the whole world?”

  An original, country of origin 2024 UK Quad movie poster for the Bob Guccione/Tinto Brass film “Caligula: The Ultimate Cut”. An absolutely beautiful and striking design with a great use of bold colour, featuring Malcolm McDowell as the titular Caligula and Helen Mirren as Caesonia. “The Ultimate Cut” is a complete re-imagination of Caligula (1979), based on 96 hours of never-before-seen footage recovered many years after its release. Under the supervision of historian Thomas Negovan, an “Ultimate Cut” of the film was created. Instead of expanding existing scenes with the new footage, the entire film was edited from scratch, which resulted in a version that doesn’t contain a single frame from the theatrical version. Visual effects were used to enhance scenes and replace cheap sets and backgrounds, and AI technology was used to restore previously unusable dialogue that was plagued with background noises. A new music score was composed as well, in contrast to the public domain ballet music. A limited theatrical release was planned in late 2020, but it was delayed due to legal difficulties, distribution issues and the Covid-19 pandemic. This version eventually premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2023, with high praise by actors Malcolm McDowell (who previously had been ashamed by the film) and Dame Helen Mirren. Offered in excellent, high grade, rolled (as issued) condition, this poster is a rare find as the movie received such a limited cinematic release. One of the most controversial films of all time and a fine example of sought after movie memorabilia.

  Oh! What a Lovely War

  £145.00

  “The ever popular war game with songs battles & a few jokes”

  “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.
