  In Like Flint

  £275.00

  “FLINT’S BACK In Action…In Danger…In the Virgin Islands…Where the Bad Guys…Are Girls !”

  A very cool, stylish film poster from the mid 1960’s that perfectly typifies the period and the style of the artist; Bob Peak. A beautiful UK quad film poster for Gordon Douglas’ 1967 super-spy, James Bond parody sequel “In Like Flint”. This really is a fantastic looking poster ‘of the time’ – focusing on the star; James Coburn in his role as the super suave secret agent Derek Flint with colourful ‘swinging sixties’ stylised artwork. Peak’s similar film posters (“Modesty Blaise”, “Gambit”, “Our Man Flint” share this common style and concentrate on the stars all colourfully delineated then offset against a pale background. It is a style that works well and certainly impresses. Because of the white background (which marks easily & highlights the slightest defect) this poster is hard to find in high grade condition. The originally folded (as issued) unrestored example offered here has some very minimal handling & age wear but colours are bright and unfaded and the background a true bright white with no shading/ghosting to the fold lines. A fine investment grade piece that represents a very collectable piece of desirable original movie memorabilia.

  Muppet Treasure Island

  £145.00

  “Set sail for Muppet mayhem!“

  Jim and Brian Henson’s Muppets meet swash-buckling adventure in their 1996 movie adaption of the classic Robert Louis Stevenson novel “Muppets Treasure Island”. Artist Drew Struzan cleverly incorporates the live action actors into an excellent and colourful movie poster where they combine seamlessly with the true stars of the movie, the Muppets – Kermit, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Rizzo, Fozzie Bear. It’s an amazing looking poster, rolled (as issued) this lovely unrestored example presents to superb effect. Muppet movie memorabilia doesn’t get much better than this, from one of cinema’s most collectable and popular modern movie franchises.

  Trivia: Kevin Bishop recalled that while filming the scene in the crow’s nest with Tim Curry, he said, “‘I mean be honest, Tim, The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) – those fishnets – you’re never going to live those down, are you?” To which Curry responded, “Not as long as wankers like you keep bringing it up. You really are a sublime wanker, Kevin”. They would use the word sublime as a joke between them.
