Collector’s Corner – Rare, Collectible and
Sought After Movie Posters

by Pierre Vudrag on Monday, May 5, 2014

Each week we highlight and feature some of the rare, collectible and highly sought after posters that are available on the Limited Runs. This week’s posters include:

Revenge of the Creature
(Universal Pictures 1955) Six Sheet
This hard to find six sheet, designed by Reynold Brown, is from the first sequel to Creature from the Black Lagoon. The film is notable for being the only 3D film released in 1955 and the only 3D sequel to a 3D film.  Interesting to note that an uncredited Clint Eastwood makes his first screen appearance in the film.


East of Eden (Warner Brothers 1955) Italian 2 – Folio
James Dean in his big screen debut, East of Eden, is the only film to be released during Dean’s lifetime.  Released by Warner Brothers and directed by Elia Kazan, the film also stars Julie Harris, Raymond Massey and Burl Ives. This poster was for the first Italian release 1959 and features great art by the master Italian poster designer Luigi Martinati.  Italian posters from this period are highly desirable and hard to find. Limited Runs offers several Italian movie posters by Martinati and other great Italian poster designers of the same period.

 

 

It’s A Wonderful Life
(RKO Pictures 1946) One Sheet

It’s A Wonderful Life was initially a box office failure for director Frank Capra and signalled the beginning of the end of his box office reign. Needless to say the film is now considered one of the most loved films in American cinema, and this One Sheet is highly desirable.

 


The Sky Spider

(Action Pictures 1931) Six Sheet

This beautiful stone litho is a unique find for any collector. Rarely seen, this Six Sheet depicts two biplanes soring through the sky, a must own for collectors.
