About the Item

Released in 1964, 'Bedtime Story' is a comedy directed by Ralph Levy and starring Marlon Brando, David Niven and Shirley Jones. Set on the French Riviera, the story pits polished confidence trickster Lawrence Jameson against brash American hustler Freddy Benson, with the two men competing to prove who can successfully swindle a wealthy young visitor. The film offered Brando an uncommon opportunity to display his comic ability opposite the effortlessly urbane Niven. Its central premise proved remarkably durable: it was remade as 'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels' in 1988 and again as 'The Hustle' in 2019, while the later version also inspired a Broadway musical. This continuing afterlife has made the original an important foundation for one of cinema's best-known con-artist comedies. This original US one-sheet poster was issued for the film's original 1964 theatrical release by Universal Pictures.

Original U.S James Bond 007 'Thunderball' Poster c.1965

Original U.S James Bond 007 'Thunderball' Poster c.1965

Located in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent

A rare and original U.S release (1965) poster from the James Bond 007 blockbuster, Thunderball. A 1965 spy film and the fourth in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions, starring Sean Connery as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. It is an adaptation of the 1961 novel of the same name by Ian Fleming, which in turn was based on an original story by Kevin McClory, Jack Whittingham, and Fleming, and an original screenplay by Jack Whittingham. It was the third and final Bond film to be directed by Terence Young, with its screenplay by Richard Maibaum and John Hopkins. The movie would have been the first of the Bond series if not for legal disputes over copyright. The film follows Bond's mission to find two NATO atomic bombs stolen by SPECTRE, which holds the world for ransom of £100 million in diamonds under its threat to destroy an unspecified metropolis in either the United Kingdom or the United States (later revealed to be Miami). The search leads Bond to the Bahamas, where he encounters Emilio Largo, the card-playing, eye patch-wearing SPECTRE Number Two. Backed by CIA agent Felix Leiter and Largo's mistress, Domino Derval, Bond's search culminates in an underwater battle with Largo's henchmen. The film's complex production comprised four different units and about a quarter of the film comprised underwater scenes. Thunderball was the first Bond film shot in widescreen Panavision and the first to have a running time of over two hours. This large American billboard poster...
