WALTER-FILM002150No binding. Fine. Fine Art Print Vintage original 41 x 81"" 103 x 203 cm. three sheet poster USA. Steve McQueen Robert Vaughn Jacqueline Bisset Don Gordon Robert Duvall dir: Peter Yates; Warner Brothers. The classic 1960s action-crime thriller with an iconic performance by Steve McQueen playing the San Francisco cop who becomes obsessed with finding the underground leader responsible for the deaths of witnesses in his protection. Here is one of the finest and most rare posters for this classic title. This example does not appear to have ever been used. Prior to expert linen backing it showed only very minor shelf wear and shows just minor shelf wear such as three minor fold juncture separations a bit of creasing at the very edges and a few minor spots of soiling in the white background. What makes this poster particularly desirable is the fact that the colors match correctly although this poster does not turn up much -- when it occasionally does very often the bottom section has colors which are misaligned with the rest and that most often requires restoration with paint. This copy is unrestored with great nicely matched colors and all the very minor original issues have been attended to in conservation. The poster is now just about as clean and bright an example as possible FINE. 10000.00 unknown books

WALTER-FILM000493No binding. Very Good. Fine Art Print Vintage original 81 x 41"" 203 x 103 cm. three sheet poster USA. Clint Eastwood Andrew Robinson John Vernon Reni Santoni Harry Guardino dir: Don Siegel; Warner Brothers. The now classic crime thriller about San Francisco Police Inspector Harry Callahan who has little regard for rules but who gets results. In this tale he is tracking down serial killer Scorpio who snipes his victims at random. Clint Eastwood in his iconic role of the paradoxical Dirty Harry basically an outlaw but deeply moral at the same time only won the role because originally-cast Frank Sinatra injured his hand. One of the best poster images for this great film and one of the hardest to find with its life-size image of Harry holding up a gun. On linen. There has been a little touch-up along fold lines and to relieve a couple of marginal stains VERY GOOD-FINE. unknown books
WALTER-FILM000350No binding. Very Good. Fine Art Print Vintage original 41 x 27"" 103 x 68 cm. one sheet poster USA. Humphrey Bogart Lauren Bacall Agnes Moorehead Bruce Bennett Tom d'Andrea; dir.: Delmer Daves; Warner Bros. A much darker journey into the film noir realm for Bogart and Bacall than their early wildly successful BIG SLEEP this time from a lurid David Goodis novel of a man Bogart wrongly convicted of the murder of his wife rescued by a concerned courtroom spectator Bacall and who must change his notorious face through back-door plastic surgery in order to find the real killer. One of the truly great films of this now-revered genre as well as one of the best period films set in and depicting San Francisco. Bogart hid is face from camera for more than half of the film something which did not please WB head Jack Warner! The film fell off at the box office as it was released right at the time that the Bogart's received negative press because of their support for the Committee for the First Amendment during the heated House Un-American Activities Committee hearings. Beautiful rich color rare on this poster which has been mounted on linen. There has been just minimal fold and corner touch-up minor crease at bottom left corner and a few scuffs in white background addressed NEAR FINE. unknown books

WALTER-FILM000419No binding. Very Good. Fine Art Print Vintage original 12 x 8"" 30 x 20 cm. midget/mini window card poster USA. Bette Davis Humphrey Bogart Lola Lane Isabel Jewell Mayo Methot Jane Bryan dir: Lloyd Bacon; Warner Brothers. Brilliant tale of hostesses told with as much candor as post-Production Code Hollywood was allowed. Working girl Bette Davis displays herself in one of her most glamorous gowns on this fine Warner Brothers poster of the period. The beaded gown represented in red on this card was made for her by Orry-Kelly. This is the film which marked Bette Davis' return to Warner Brothers after she walked out on the studio fed up with the weak roles they were giving her. She got her wish in this role. Here she plays Mary Dwight the cynical world-weary hostess of a club run by gangsters. Living with the other hostesses of the club her kid sister comes to visit and the truth of their means of living must be hidden. The woman are constantly being hauled into headquarters and questioned about their bosses. Davis' character is beaten by them to keep quiet. But then her kid sister is murdered and she unravels to the district attorney Humphrey Bogart. A classic crime melodrama. Wonderful rich colors. Very minor creases. Tow tears at the right side of the card have been reinforced with archival tape. One is in the lower area of her hair and the other just below her arm. Pin holes at each of the four corners have been filled in and reinforced with archival tape. Two small tears at the bottom have also been reinforced with archival tape.

WALTER-FILM000179No binding. Good. Fine Art Print Vintage original 14 x 22"" 35 x 56 cm. window card poster USA. Al Jolson Kay Francis Dolores del Rí Ricardo Cortez Dick Powell Guy Kibee Ruth Donnelly Hugh Herbert Louise Fazenda dir: Lloyd Bacon Busby Berkeley; Warner Brothers. Wonder Bar is the Paris entertainment bar owned by Al Wonder and he welcomes the audience in on camera and in the cinema audience to his establishment with a song ""Vive La France."" This performance at Jolson's insistence would be one of the last to be done live on camera with the Warner Brothers orchestra live on set portraying the club's band. The story involved a tragic love triangle which ended in murder -- a more lively script than standard musical faire of the day; still it was Busby Berkeley's wildly staged and edited production numbers which to this day are memorable. This included the number ""Don't Say Good-Night."" Released just prior to the code enforcement the film is full of illicit sex relationships homosexual references and getting away with murder. Today audiences may cringe at the now-politically incorrect production number ""Goin' to Heaven on a Mule"" which featured the Hall Johnson Choir. Witty and naughty audiences loved it and it made a nice profit for Warner Brothers. Paper-backed there has been some skillful but routine touch up to bottom margin and in the area of a couple of the small images of stars NEAR VERY GOOD. unknown books
