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. The top blank area of the card has been trimmed NEAR FINE. unknown books
WALTER-FILM000270No binding. Very Good. Fine Art Print Vintage original 22 x 28"" 55 x 70 cm. half sheet poster USA. Barbara Stanwyck Fred MacMurray dir: Roy Rowland; Warner Brothers. What a piece of 3-D graphic imagery this is with both Stanwyck and MacMurray bursting out of the screen! Stanwyck is presented far more seductively than her actual character for which she was blonde but that's what filmmakers felt it took to draw the audience into the theatre during this time when audiences started to stay home to take part in the new revolution: television. This was the third of four films Stanwyck and MacMurray teamed for -- their chemistry established with Double Indemnity nearly 10 years before. Though the Western was now exploring psychological themes the script offered little challenge to these great actors -- but the 3-D effects had entertainment value. The art is quite fun and the poster on linen is in fine condition. It does not appear to have been folded. A few tears were addressed including a very small one at the near bottom left edge and one inner tear above the ""n"" of ""Moonlighter"" in the title treatment and a small tear at the top of ""K"" in ""Stanwyck.""

WALTER-FILM003018No binding. Very Good. Fine Art Print Vintage original 11 x 14"" 28 x 35 cm title lobby card USA. Ronald Reagan John Litel Lya Lys James Stephenson dir: Lewis Seiler; Warner Brothers. Though described as an action thriller this B-film played into the developing genre which became noir Warner Bros. leading the way in the stylistic elements. This story concerned enemy agents and the sabotage of war deliveries. This was Ronald Reagan's 4th starring vehicle. Having made his way from bits to supporting roles in A films he was for a bit of time given a crack at leads in B features. This is a textured linen card. There are pin holes at each of the four corners a pinhole at each margin halfway down the card three minor edge tears and tear area to the left edge of the card which have been addressed with archival tape on the verso VERY GOOD-FINE. unknown books

Before she was radio spokeswoman for Welch's Grape Juice and playing motherly roles in talkies Irene Rich was quite the glamour star of silent cinema. This was a tour de force set in Imperial Russia prior to the Revolution centering on the aristocracy. It was a riches to rags to riches to rags story full of convoluted melodrama and great costumes and sets FINE. unknown books

WALTER-FILM000879No binding. Very Good. Photo Vintage original 7 1/2 x 9 1/2 18 x 23 cm. black-and-white single weight glossy silver gelatin print still photo USA. Bette Davis Warren William Alison Skipworth Arthur Treacher dir: William Dieterle; Warner Brothers. After being nominated in 1934 and winning an Academy Award in 1935 Warner Brothers continued to cast Bette Davis in mediocre roles and films. So fed up was she that she sailed for England in 1936 after a suspension for refusing a role. Her intent was to work there; Warner stopped her and she sued. Though she lost the suit the studio did slowly secure better roles in finer productions over the course of 1937 and 1938. Given top production value and costuming Orry-Kelly this film is loosely based on Dashiell Hammett's THE MALTESE FALCON but this time the detective story is handled more as a comedy. What the film did for Davis at a time when she was being cast in heavy melodrama was give her a chance at playing comedy which she proved very adept. In a lighthearted moment Davis is seen with co-star Warren William. The photo is coded ""MH-111"". The borders are lightly trimmed for publication ABOUT FINE. unknown books

Fine Art Print Vintage original 11 x 14"" 28 x 35 cm. lobby card USA Humphrey Bogart Lauren Bacall Walter Brennan Dolores Moran Hoagy Charmichael Sheldon Leonard; dir: Howard Hawks; Warner Brothers. Brilliant screenplay by Jules Furthman and William Faulkner from the Ernest Hemingway novel though the book was not strictly followed and direction by Howard Hawks make this a top classic. Set in 1940 Martinique as WWII is about to rage where Harry Morgan Humphrey Bogart and his assistant the alcoholic Eddie Walter Brennan operate a boat-for-hire business. They take a job from the resistance fighters violating their neutrality and trouble breaks out. Notable was the steamy romance between Morgan and Marie ""Slim"" Browning Lauren Bacall.

WALTER-FILM000441No binding. Good. Fine Art Print Vintage original 22 x 28"" 55 x 70 cm. half sheet poster USA. James Cagney Virginia Mayo Edmond O'Brien Margaret Wycherly Steve Cochran dir: Raoul Walsh; Warner Brothers. One of the most popular of all gangster-related films and one that attempted to explore the psychology of the criminal. Very fastly-paced by expert director Walsh it told the story of Cody Jarrett a ruthless gang leader who has a mother fixation. The characters were based on real life criminals Ma Barker and her sons. The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Writing Motion Picture to lady screenwriter Virginia Kellogg. Many consider James Cagney's performance his finest. Poster has been mounted on heavy paper. There is a crease to the top left corner. The top blank white border has had numerous touch-ups. There has also been touch-up to the fold lines corners portions of the bottom white margin and spots in the red background of the title treatment NEAR VERY GOOD. unknown books
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
WALTER-FILM000892No binding. Very Good. Fine Art Print Vintage original 8 1/2 x 11 1/2"" 21 x 29 cm. duo-tone herald 4 page USA. Bette Davis George Arliss Theodore Newton Hardi Albright dir: John G. Adolfi; Warner Brothers. So impressed was reigning king of Warner Brothers George Arliss by Bette Davis that he invited her to play the major supporting role in THE MAN WHO PLAYED GOD in 1932. So well did they get a long that they made this film soon after the story of a sly businessman on vacation who gains the confidence of his rival business' family members. Though it was a George Arliss vehicle this herald highlights Bette Davis and presents her as the ultimate cheese cake model -- a role which she played aptly but which was not a challenge for her vast talents which Warner Brothers a few years and many fights later allowed her to display in great roles. In the 12 images here Bette displays an array in the fashion parade. Pinholes and slight wear at the top and bottom corners of each page ABOUT FINE. unknown books
