The British UK Quad for Arthur P. Jacobs' "Planet of the Apes" is widely considered the best design for the title as it features four character panels – Charlton Heston (Taylor), Buck Tartalian (Julius), Linda Harrison (Nova) and Maurice Evans (Dr. Zaius), offset against an outer space background. Hugely influential, this was the first movie of four sequels and has inspired a TV show, remake, comic book series and even a "Simpsons" episode.

It is well-known in poster collecting circles (not just movies) that, for any given title, the most offbeat and intriguing designs will most likely hail from Poland, and this moody masterpiece for "Midnight Cowboy" is no exception. John Schlesinger's film about the unlikely friendship between a wannabe-gigolo Texas rube (John Voight) and a gritty grifter (Dustin Hoffman) was a major success, both critically and financially, and was the first X-rated film to win a Best Picture Oscar®. This striking poster, with artwork by acclaimed Polish artist Waldemar Swierzy, is actually more representative than many Polish sheets, with a strong duotone colour scheme and simple, graphic artwork. Presented with a single horizintal fold line, this unrestored example remains in excellent condition and is one of the most collectable film posters to come out of Eastern Europe.39" x 27" (99 x 68.5 cm)Condition: ExcellentUnrestored, flat (with single horizontal foldline).

This original first year of release Italian Locandina for "For a Few Dollars More" is one of the scarcest and most desirable of all the cinematic paper produced for Clint Eastwood/Sergio Leone's “Spaghetti” Western Trilogy. Italian printings have always been much harder to find than their American or British counterparts due to the quantity printed being far less.

A country of origin full-size 30" x 40" British Quad poster for the 1967 James Bond spoof spy film "Casino Royale". Screen rights to Fleming's first Bond novel, 'Casino Royale' were originally owned by producer Charles K. Feldman. After the huge successes of the more mainstream Bond films beginning with "Dr. No" in 1962, Feldman opted to adapt the novel as a spy-spoof, a parody with his big-budget madcap comedy very much in tone of the swinging, psychedelic sixties. The only real link to EON® films was the hiring of respected Bond illustrator Robert McGinnis to create the central theme and imagery. McGinnis in turn produced a stunning and multi-coloured image of a naked, psychedelic girl covered in 007 tattoos. It really is remarkable artwork and one of the most beautiful Bond film posters. Amazing colours complemented by eye-catching graphics, this originally folded (as issued) example has been lightly restored and conservation linen-backed (to a very high standard) with the original foldlines now almost undetectable. Being that British country of origin posters for the James Bond films are usually the most sought after of all Bond poster collectables this scarce item represents a fantastic piece of 007 movie memorabilia.Printed in England by Lonsdale & Bartholomew Nottingham30" x 40" (76 x 102 cm)Condition: Very Good (appears)Conservation linen-backed, with fold lines 'flattened out' and only noticeable on closest inspection.

UK Quad "Non-Oscars®" poster for "Star Wars" (1977). The "Non-Oscars" version of this poster was used in the first couple of weeks of the UK release and was subsequently replaced with the "Oscars®" version. The "Non-Oscars" version is by far the scacer of the two Quads. Tom Chantrell's "Star Wars" poster imagery has now achieved iconic status. Although he previewed the film and was given set photographs stills, Chantrell took photos of his wife in the back garden posing as Princess Leia that he used for reference in the creation of his poster composition. This poster remains in rare unfolded condition.30" x 40" (76 x 102 cm)Condition: ExcellentUnrestored, unfolded and in superb rolled condition.Artist: Tom Chantrell£2000 - 3000VAT Status: M

Given the huge initial success of George Lucas' "Star Wars", there were four separate print runs for the Style-A US One-Sheet poster featuring Tom Jung's artwork. This particular example has a "PG" Ratings Box indicating this was for domestic (US) use, and the "77/21-0" and Style-A text indicates a true First Printing. These two factors only enhance this poster's desirability, so when you add the provenance and the original high grade rolled condition it becomes a must have, as examples with such outstanding pedigree rarely come to market.

Michael Curtiz' "Casablanca" is one of the most honoured and beloved films of all time, full of classic set pieces and quotable lines, setting the standard for romantic spy thrillers and giving actor Humphrey Bogart, as nightclub owner Rick Blaine, one of his most memorable roles. Any paper from the title is highly sought after and is incredibly collectable.

This George Cukor adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's classic novel "Little Women" (1933) is probably the most beloved version of the oft-filmed story. The imagery of the US One-Sheet features all four New England sisters Jo (Katharine Hepburn), Amy (Joan Bennett), Meg (Frances Dee), and Beth (Jean Parker), who must deal with hardship and privation while their father fights in the Civil War. The highly desirable original unrestored stone litho poster offered here has fold wear with crossfold separation and other wear associated with age and handling. However the colours remain incredibly bright and the defects are nothing that a professional paper restorer couldn't competently deal with.

Original unrestored UK Quad poster for the first appearance of Roger Moore as James Bond in "Live and Let Die" (1973). Artist Robert McGinnis has created one of the finest Bond posters ever.

The Tarot card display is amazing, and add to that the famous boat chase / jump sequence and you have a 'perfect' 007 poster. The '007' reference is worked into Roger Moore's name and a dagger cleverly inserted into the 'I' of 'DIE' in the title.

Country of origin, British UK Quad poster for the debut Sean Connery James Bond film “Dr. No” (1962). The Mitchell Hooks poster illustration establishes Bond’s credentials as a suave but dangerous character, the sex appeal in the film being clearly evident.

Originally folded, this unrestored example displays and presents to very good effect with excellent colours. The bright yellow background and red lettering is often a weak point on this poster as it fades very easily, but happy to report that isn't the case here.Printed by Stafford & Co, Ltd.

Don Siegel's "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1951) is the quintessential sci-fi film of the 50s, praying on the particular fears and paranoias of the time as well as more basic, instinctual phobias within each of us. This first release US One-Sheet shows a clearly terrified Kevin McCarthy and Dana Wynter fleeing from an unseen threat set against the eerie impression of a oversized handprint, which itself is offset against the menacing red background.

In 2010 Mondo announced that they had teamed up with Lucasfilm Ltd. for a completely official licenced series of new Star Wars limited edition screen printed posters with each being hand-numbered. First in the series is Jeff Soto with a GNK Power Droid affectionately referred to as 'Gonk' or officially "Scrap Yard Power Droid" (our print is #147/350). This was followed by Dave Kinsey's "Raider" featuring a close-up of a Tusken Raider, one of the most unique characters from the original trilogy (our print is #141/350) and then in September "Salacious B. Crumb" by Rhys Cooper (our print is #81/325). Cooper stated "I always thought Salacious Crumb is the kind of character that makes Star Wars great.

French 'Grande' Affiche for "Goldfinger" (1964) with Jean Mascii artwork unique to the French release. This large format poster is for the debut release of the film (the third in the 007 series) in 1964 and NOT one of the many later reissues that used the same imagery. Mascii's illustration is truly dynamic and focuses on Connery's physicality as he fights Goldfinger's chief henchman 'Oddjob'. The foreground shows Mascii's interpretation of a Brownjohn design which featured Connery offset against a gold painted female body and in the background are Pussy Galore (Honor Blackman) and for the FIRST TIME Bond's iconic Aston Martn DB5 on a movie poster. Originally folded, this has been lightly restored and linen-backed to a very high standard and now presents to excellent effect.Visa de Censure 1530 - ets. saint-martin imp. paris 46" x 62" (117 x 157 cm)Condition: ExcellentLinen-backed with light restoration.

"The Star Wars Sage Continues" and continued into 'Summer 1981' with this first re-release. Tom Jung, so succesful with his previous Star Wars artwork, produced yet another stunning piece for this showing of "Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back". Combining everything that worked in the movie first time around, his artwork is dominated by a lightsaber wielding Darth Vader, Imperial Walkers, Yoda and Luke all framed by a matte black background with silver highlighting and bright yellow almost luminescent lettering.

"Die Hard" is the prototype for the modern action film. It's lean, mean and doesn't contain a single second of wasted screen time. The direction (John McTiernan), the action, the story, the acting (Bruce Willis); every aspect of this film comes close to big-budget action movie perfection. Since its release in 1988, it's difficult to think of a blockbuster action film that doesn't follow the basic structure and format of "Die Hard". Early rushes of the film presented Willis as a rather wimpy and unconvincing action figure, so in the initial US advertising campaign there are a series of posters that chose to highlight the exploding, under attack skyscaper (actually the real life offices of 20th Century Fox®) rather than Willis. This quickly changed once advance preview audience screenings started which produced some record breaking scores and positive reviews, leading Willis to feature prominently on any marketing material. From first year of release, this unrestored, rolled (as issued) unfolded UK Quad features our hero 'John Maclane' and the scene of the movie's action, the Nakatomi Tower. 30" x 40" (76 x 102 cm)Condition: Very Good to ExcellentUnrestored, Rolled, unfolded with minimal handling and wear though rolling.Artist: Unknown Artist£100 - 200VAT Status: M

An incredibly rare Howard Chaykin poster printed in the summer of 1976, to be sold for $1.75 at San Diego Comic Con and Worldcon in Kansas City to promote the forthcoming movie. Chaykin, produced the artwork based on a handful of stills and paintings by concept artist Ralph McQuarrie, designer of the early Star Wars logo seen on the poster.

"Thunderball" in military terms refers to the mushroom cloud seen after an atomic bomb blast. That fits perfectly here as Bond (Sean Connery) seeks to recover a pair of nuclear warheads stolen by crime syndicate SPECTRE. Equally as thrilling as the fourth 007 adventure is the Frank McCarthy and Robert McGinnis designed French Double Grande film poster from first year of release (1965). Bond's traditional pose is replaced by a wetsuit and harpoon gun offset by an incredible under water action scene from the movie's climax.

Napoleon Solo (Robert Vaughn) is pictured centrally in a tuxedo dinner jacket blowing into the barrel of his handgun, accompanied by his ever present partner Ilya Kuryakin (David McCallum) book-ended by their glamorous female assistants. Though the U.N.C.L.E series of posters are not as well known as the 1960's Bonds, they present some impressive and colourful imagery with a high standard of design that makes them an attractive series to collect.30" x 40" (76 x 102 cm)Condition: ExcellentUnrestored, folded (as issued) and in excellent condition with minimal handling and age wear.Artist: Unknown Artist£100 - 200VAT Status: M

When "E.T. The Extra Terrestrial" was first released in 1982, a very small number of full-size 27" x 41" posters with the "bike over the moon" imagery were created by design agency B.D. Fox & Family, and were personally distributed by Steven Spielberg to friends, key members of the production staff and close associates. These are known as the First Printing "Bike over the Moon" posters, and the lot we are offering is true full-size 27" x 41", which we believe is the first time this particular poster has been offered at auction. The popularity of the imagery culminated in the Studio issuing a second print for Studio employees, cast and crew and these were reportedly placed in the office lobby area for employees to take. The second print (more common) posters are undersized measuring 26 3/4" x 40" and were used in marketing campaigns in cinemas. The marketing department at Universal® wanted the imagery used for the major advertising campaign and theatrical use, but Spielberg vetoed this initially declaring that it gave away to much of the plot and then deciding on it becoming the logo for his company Amblin.

When Mike Nichols’ classic movie “The Graduate” was first released in 1968, there were two regular One-Sheets. To further complicate things, Embassy Releasing released the movie in the United States, and United Artists released it outside the United States. Both studios issued both styles of One-Sheet, so there are four different original release OneSheets. To further muddy the waters, right after the movie won an Academy Award, new posters were printed with “Academy Award® Winner” added to the area at top. The pre-award One-Sheets from Embassy, especially the line drawing style B, are the most desirable posters from this film.NSS #68/2627" x 41" (69 x 104 cm)Condition: GoodUnrestored, originally folded (as issued).
