Bluntly, Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey” is the greatest science-fiction film made to date with memorabilia avidly sought and collected, particularly the example that’s offered here – an outstanding Polish film poster with artwork by Wiktor Gorka. It’s an incredible, eye-catching, abstract design with deep, unfaded colours. An ultra rare film poster with a strictly limited number printed and issued in very low numbers to cinemas in Poland showing the film. Presented conservation linen-backed it really does display to superb effect. With its incredible scarcity and the Film’s historical cinematic influence it represents a true investment grade piece of original highly collectible cinema movie memorabilia. A science fiction fantasy, it is one of the most original films ever made, by one of the greatest ever film-makers.
Trivia: In the premiere screening of the film, 241 people walked out of the theater, including Rock Hudson, who said, “Will someone tell me what the hell this is about?” Arthur C. Clarke once said, “If you understand ‘2001’ completely, we failed. We wanted to raise far more questions than we answered.”

An exceptionally rare Indian Three-Sheet from 1969 (the first year of release in India) for Brian G. Hutton’s action packed World War II thriller “Where Eagles Dare” features artwork by C. Mohan based on the original design by Frank McCarthy. The cable car scene is one of the best remembered and most famous scenes from the film and all of the elements are the same, from Eastwood on the cable car to the Castle of The Eagle engulfed in flames in the background. Fans of Bollywood will know at least one of C. Mohan’s pieces as he designed the title for “Sholay”, which is widely considered the greatest Bollywood movie of all time. One of the most collected British action adventure war films ever produced, with the originally folded (as issued) example offered here being presented conservation linen-backed – it displays to excellent with colours that pop, thanks to the stone litho printing process. Of all the action / adventure films I deal with there is no doubt that “Where Eagles Dare” appears to have an incredible fan base and this superb poster represents a fine piece of original movie memorabilia.
Trivia: The driving force behind this movie was Richard Burton‘s stepson, who wanted to see his stepfather in a good old-fashioned adventure movie. Burton approached producer Elliott Kastner for ideas, who asked Alistair MacLean. At that time, most of MacLean’s novels had either been made into movies, or were in the process of being filmed. Kastner persuaded MacLean to write a new story. Six weeks later, MacLean delivered the script.

The cable car scene is one of the best remembered and most famous scenes from the film with McCarthy incorporating all the excitement in his imagery with photographic images of the main stars Burton, Eastwood and Mary Ure.

Of all the action/adventure films I deal with there is no doubt that “Where Eagles Dare” appears to have an incredible fan base and this excellent poster represents a fine piece of original movie memorabilia.
Trivia: Despite Clint Eastwood‘s reputation for violence in other films, his character kills more people in this film than any other Eastwood character.
