  American Gigolo

  £75.00

  “His business is pleasure !”

  After the huge success in 1982 for the Oscar winning “An Officer and a Gentleman”, Richard Gere was a global superstar and the most bankable male actor at the box office. Paramount Pictures were quick to exploit his success and re-released (even though it was only originally released in 1980) Paul Schrader’s “American Gigolo” with the knowing tagline… “In American Gigolo Richard Gere is neither an Officer nor a Gentleman” which was adapted to run alongside the familiar imagery of the original 1980 UK quad film poster. Rare in this style, it is actually a very effective design. Originally folded (as issued) this unrestored example presents and displays very well and represents a highly desirable piece of original movie memorabilia for one of the most stylish films of the 80’s.

  TRIVIA…This movie represented the Hollywood breakthrough of leading clothes designer GIORGIO ARMANI who provided the stylish clothes for Richard Gere’s well dressed male escort.

  “When Smokey Sings” the hit 1987 song by ABC was inspired by the scene in the movie where Richard Gere is seen meticulously choosing what clothes to wear out.

  Breathless

  £60.00

  “Me and Monica! Yeah, me and Monica go to Méjico!”

  One of the best Richard Gere images you will see is Eric Pulford’s country unique (British) artwork for the 1983 UK quad movie poster for “Breathless”. To be fair both Gere and co-star Valerie Kaprisky (her first and only US starring role) look pretty good. The original 1983 UK quad movie poster offered here is from first year of release and displays and presents to excellent effect. Originally rolled (as issued) the colours are bright and unfaded and Pulford’s imagery dramatic and exciting. With hardly a defect of note this beautiful rolled unrestored film poster is in investment grade condition and a fine example of rare and collectable original movie memorabilia.

  Pretty Woman

  £95.00

  “She walked off the street, into his life and stole his heart.”

  An original 1990 British video (VHS) poster for the quintessential classic romance “Pretty Woman”. This beautiful originally rolled example is pretty much faultless. A classic 90s poster featuring the two stars – Julia Roberts and Richard Gere with imagery that was used for the worldwide marketing campaign . Particularly scarce in such high grade condition with a high gloss finish (the cinema posters don’t have this) that really adds a touch of quality to the finish and makes the white background really pop. Often seen as one the THE defining and most loved movies of the 1990s it represents a fantastic piece of movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: Julia Roberts‘s head was superimposed on Shelley Michelle‘s body for the poster. Richard Gere‘s hair is brown on the poster, but going grey in the movie.
