  A Fistful of Dollars

  £125.00

  “This short cigar belongs to a man with no name. This long gun belongs to a man with no name. This poncho belongs to a man with no name. He’s going to trigger a whole new style in adventure.“

  A country exclusive Italian one-sheet for the 2014 Film Festival re-release of Sergio Leone’s ground breaking Spaghetti Western “A Fistful of Dollars” – Per Un Pugno Di Dollari, where all three movies in the Trilogy were screened.The colourful pop art style design is by acclaimed  Italian artist Michelangelo Papuzza. Presented rolled (as issued) this example displays to excellent effect and represents a scarce piece of country of origin, Italian cinema memorabilia from the first in Leone’s series of iconic westerns that set himself and Eastwood on the path to Hollywood success.

  Trivia: Clint Eastwood helped in creating his character’s distinctive visual style. He bought the black jeans from a sport shop on Hollywood Boulevard, the hat came from a Santa Monica wardrobe firm and the trademark black cigars came from a Beverly Hills store. Eastwood himself cut the cigars into three pieces to make them shorter. Eastwood himself is a non-smoker. From his television series, Eastwood brought the Colt pistol, gun-belt and spurs. The iconic poncho was acquired in Spain. Eastwood still has the poncho and has said it has never been washed.

  Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope

  £2,250.00

  “May The Force Be with You”

  A 1977 original year of release “Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope” Style C UK Quad featuring Chantrell’s much loved artwork. This is the “Awards Version” produced after the movie had won 7 Oscars. When George Lucas & the Studio Executives realised just how successful this movie was likely to become their marketing strategy had to be re-assessed. The original Jung & Hildebrand posters although iconic & artistic where not really that commercial in terms of characterisation. Tom Chantrell was drafted & in & produced this new look, all-action, bolder, brighter looking poster. Luke, Leia & Han Solo all bear an incredible likeness to their screen counterparts & the Star Wars merchandising phenomena was born. Easily the most recognisable of all the Star Wars posters it is this design that has become synonymous with the franchise and is extremely sought after with many collectors & fans. Folded (as issued) this beautiful unrestored original condition poster presents to excellent effect and represents a scarce and desirable piece of original Star Wars movie memorabilia from what has become one of the most collectable and popular modern movie franchises.

  Trivia: George Lucas‘ decision to accept a lower salary on the movie in exchange for full merchandising rights was considered a fool’s gamble on his part. Although some movie-toy combinations had done moderate retail returns at the time, they had never been major money-earners because of the long gap between when a movie would go through its theatrical run and when any products based on it would be available. This movie, however, was such a phenomenon that it reached the holiday 1977 sales period in full swing, and changed the way how movies were merchandised forever.
