Each week Limited Runs highlights and features some of the rare, collectible and highly sought after posters that are available on the website. This week’s posters include:
This Gun for Hire
(Paramount Pictures 1942) One Sheet
One of the early and most iconic film noir, “This Gun For Hire” helped launched the careers of both Veronica Lake and Alan Ladd. The pair appeared together in several other films. Paper for this film is highly sought after and this one sheet is the golden prize. This rarely comes up for sale and when it does it usually sells fairly quickly.
The Adventures of Robin Hood (Warner Brothers 1938) One Sheet
Warner Brothers’ Technicolor master piece features an all-star cast that includes Errol Flynn as Robin Hood, Olivia de Havilland as Maid Marian, Basil Rathbone as Sir Guy of Gisbourne, and Claude Rains as Prince John. Posters from this film are highly desirable and hard to find and this one sheet with a colorful image of Flynn and de Havilland are exquisite. This poster eludes many collectors and it’s availability on Limited Runs could bring the end to a long search for the right collector.
The Lady from Shanghai
(Columbia Pictures 1947) One Sheet
This film noir was the brain child of producer, writer, director, and star Orson Welles, but the film is taken over by the alluring Rita Hayworth (Welles wife at the time) who seductively captives the viewer with a tight black dress in this highly desirable one sheet.
Double Indemnity
(Paramount Pictures 1944) Australian One Sheet
Directed by Billy Wilder and starring Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyck and Edward G. Robinson and nominated for seven Academy Awards, Double Indemnity is widely regarded as the model and set the standard for all film noirs that followed. This is the Australian One Sheet depicts MacMurray embracing Stanwyck while holding a hand gun. A must own for the collector.
