A surreal looking Polish One-Sheet for Hal Ashby’s Oscar winning “Being There” (1979) with artwork by Maria ‘Mucha’ Ihnatowicz for the first Polish release in 1982. With bright colours and distinctive painted illustration, it is a perfect complement to what is a excellent (dark) comedy film featuring a standout performance by Peter Sellers. A beautiful, stylish piece of film poster art that is unique to this Polish release. Originally rolled (as issued) this beautiful unrestored 1979 example displays and presents to excellent effect and represents one of the most collectable Peter Sellers’ film posters available.
Trivia: It took Peter Sellers nearly nine years to get this movie made by a studio, mainly because by the 1970s Sellers’ career had hit rock bottom and no studio in Hollywood would work with him. After the revival (and success) of the Pink Panther movies, Lorimar Pictures finally greenlit the project.

“Could the big breaker break them up ?…Three friends. Twelve Turbulent Years. And One Day We All Must Face.”
The only time the Californian surf culture was portrayed accurately in a Hollywood studio film. Surfing aficionados consider this John Milius written & directed movie to be one of the best surfing-related films made, in part because of the legendary surfing cinematography sequences by Greg MacGillivray and the appearance of several professional world champion surfers. Any paper from this cult movie is rare with the British UK quad being perhaps the rarest and certainly (IMHO) the best looking featuring ‘surfing the big wave’ artwork that perfectly suits the landscape format. Surfing and the surf culture surrounding it unlike in the USA was relatively unknown in 70’s Britain with a very small dedicated fanbase & following, hence the very limited cinema screenings for “Big Wednesday” resulting in these quad posters rarely being offered for sale & certainly not in this excellent condition. Originally folded, the foldlines are now virtually un-noticeable thanks to the high standard of linen backing. From first year of release, 1978 this original UK quad film poster is presented in first class condition with incredible unfaded colours and amazing surfing artwork. A beautiful example of original film movie memorabilia that represents a fantastic opportunity to purchase one of the ‘cult’ sporting posters from the 70’s.
Trivia: Gary Busey would later star alongside Keanu Reeves, in another surfing movie, Point Break (1991), but his character never surfed.

“Not that it matters, but most of it is true… You never met a pair like Butch and The Kid.”
One of the ultimate ‘feel-good’ films (well up until the last two minutes) George Roy Hill’s “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” is much loved and rightly regarded as a true classic of the cinema. This original, super rare special ‘Wanted’ promotion poster is from 1969 and were distributed to children (and a few adults) exclusively in Odeon cinemas, in the weeks prior to the Film’s release with instructions to be placed where they can be seen in the window at home. An actor, dressed as The Sundance Kid (fully dressed up with stetson, gun and spurs) would then tour the area and hand out prizes to anyone that he saw displaying the poster. Designed to resemble a western WANTED poster with photographs of both Newman & Redford this example is offered folded and comes with full details of the promotion and additional photos printed on the back. A very rare survivor of an inspired cinema promotion and a highly collectable piece of movie memorabilia.
Trivia: According to William Goldman, his screenplay originally was titled “The Sundance Kid and Butch Cassidy.” Steve McQueen and Paul Newman read the script at approximately the same time and agreed to do it, with McQueen playing The Sundance Kid. When McQueen dropped out, the names reversed in the title, as Newman was a superstar.

Although a relatively recent release any paper for Nicolas Winding Refn’s 2011 violent car-themed actioner “DRIVE” is extremely scarce. His award winning film was complemented with an award winning movie poster created by Empire Design.

An extremely scarce, modern original collectable movie memorabilia from a truly talented director that looks very very cool !

Although a relatively recent release any paper for Nicolas Winding Refn’s 2011 violent car-themed actioner “DRIVE” is extremely scarce. His award winning film has been complemented by a series of alternative movie posters and in 2022 Mad Duck commissioned leading artist – Laurent Durieux to create his version. Durieux has produced an outstanding addition to the title, truly eye-catching and super stylish as he focuses on the inside of the Chevy Malibu, replacing the gearshift with a bloodied claw hammer (one of the key scenes from the movie). The deep, rich colours are predominantly blues and greys with ‘Ryan Gosling’ & ‘Drive’ printed in contrasting bright pink ink. Originally rolled (as issued) this looks and displays to excellent effect with very minimal handling wear. An extremely scarce, selling out in near record time modern art print collectable item of movie memorabilia from a truly talented director that looks very very cool !

“The crown jewel to ten years of Bruce Brown surfing documentaries. Brown follows two young surfers around the world in search of the perfect wave, and ends up finding quite a few in addition to some colorful local characters.”
Quite possibly, the only time surf culture was portrayed accurately in a cinematic film. Surfing aficionados consider “Endless Summer”, written, directed and filmed by Bruce Brown to be one of the best surfing-related films made, in part because of the legendary surfing cinematography sequences and the appearance of several professional surfers. Any paper from this cult movie is hugely collectable, not just because of the subject but also because of the poster imagery created for the film by artist John Van Hamersveld. A close friend of Brown’s, Hamersveld created one of the most iconic images of the 1960s, and his poster image is one of the single most recognisable movie poster images ever made. Receiving a very limited European re-release in 2016, Hamersveld’s original design was re-used and in the French ‘Grande’ offered here we have perhaps the largest official cinema poster ever created for the imagery. The day-glo colour palette really impresses, with the large format allowing the minimalist pop art design to be fully appreciated. Originally folded, the poster is presented in excellent condition and provides a beautiful example of original film movie memorabilia that represents a fantastic opportunity to purchase one of the ‘cult’ sporting posters of all-time.
Trivia: According to an article in the “L.A. Weekly”, after the film was edited, Michael Hynson and Bruce Brown toured the U.S. in a bus in the summer of 1964, screening the documentary in high school auditoriums and Lions Clubs. The film originally didn’t even have audio; Brown would play surf records and narrate the action live.
