  Where Eagles Dare

  £995.00

  “One weekend Major Smith, Lieutenant Schaffer and a beautiful blonde named Mary decided to win World War II”

  A stunning country of origin, UK quad film poster for Brian G. Hutton’s action packed World War II thriller “Where Eagles Dare”. This original UK quad from first year of release (1968 with correct ‘square’ Lonsdale & Bartholomew printer’s logo) features great action adventure artwork and lovely deep rich unfaded colours. This really is a fantastic looking film poster and was printed with the ‘full bleed’ artwork style; no snipes or blank white area at the top where sometimes a cinema and showing times were printed. One of the most collected British action adventure war films ever produced. Originally folded (as issued) the example offered here has been professionally conservation linen backed to a very high standard by Backing to the Future (Their Certificate of Authenticity #2820 is included) and now appears rolled – it really does display to exceptional effect. 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, Lt. Morris Schaffer kills more people in this film than any other Eastwood character.

  ZULU

  £325.00

  “In the hundred years since the Victoria Cross was created for valour and extreme courage beyond that normally expected of a British soldier in face of the enemy, only one thousand three hundred and forty four have been awarded. Eleven of these were won by the defenders of the mission station at Rorkes Drift, Natal January 22nd to the 23rd 1879.”

  The heroics of the British Army never looked better than featured here on this beautiful 50th Anniversary (2014) country of origin UK quad film poster for Cy Endfield’s “ZULU”. A global box office success that effectively made Michael Caine a worldwide star and further cemented the serious acting credentials of British movie greats Stanley Baker & Jack Hawkins. This ultra rare example features incredible unique artwork only used for this one-night only screening on June 10th 2014 . Rolled (as issued) this presents to excellent effect with heroic graphics and strong bright vivid colours – stunning when viewed in person that represents an extremely scarce and desirable item of original British cinematic memorabilia.

  Trivia: Joseph E. Levine said he would back any project Stanley Baker wanted to do. Baker said there was a project he was planning. Levine asked what it was called, and Baker replied, “Zulu.” Levine said, “‘Zulu’! I like that title. I will back you.”
