This is a 29" x 43" Argentine one-sheet poster for the 1948 Victor
Fleming film Joan of Arc based on the Broadway play Joan of
Lorraine by Maxwell Anderson, screenplay by Maxwell Anderson and
Andrew Solt and starring Ingrid Bergman as Joan of Arc. This film was
considered by some to be the beginning of a low period in Bergman's
career partly because of negative publicity surrounding an affair she
was having at the time with Italian director Roberto Rossellini,
although both she and Jose Ferrer (who played the role of Charles VII)
received academy award nominations and the film has become an enduring
classic. This poster was made to promote the first release by RKO in
November 1948 but the film has undergone many revisions since them.
The 2004 DVD release is the restored complete version. Plot summary:
The film gives a straightforward account of the life Joan of Arc, a
14-year-old illiterate farm girl who in the 15th Century told the
court of France she had been divinely called to save the country by
leading the French army taking Orleans back from the English; Joan was
eventually burned at the stake in Rouen by the English and the
Burgundians on charges of witchcraft, heresy and dressing like a man.

was a millionaire because he had the same name as the millionaire
Ahmed Momtaz. The real millionaire appeared, who was courting the
girl. The director discovered the truth. Ahmed tried to prove to the
director that he was the owner of the invention. There was a
confrontation between the employee and the millionaire, which ended in

This is a 27" x 41" US one-sheet poster for the original 1979 John
Krish and Peter Sykes film Jesus AKA The Jesus Film
based primarily on the Biblical Gospel of Luke with screenplay by
Barnet Bain and starring Brian Deacon as Jesus. Synopsis: According
to Wikipedia, the Gospel of Luke was chosen for this film because it
is considered the most complete of the Biblical gospels, and an early
decision was made by the film's producers that the film would be based
on only one gospel. The film's storyline closely follows the version
of Luke found in The Good News Bible and makes a point of not
adding embellishments, although cinematic smoke and mirrors such as
the use of echo effects during important spoken segments and various
halos and hazes at strategic moments are apparently OK. There is also
a concluding exhortation and invitation to convert that does not come
from the book of Luke. The film was made in various parts of the
Middle East using Israeli actors. Producer John Heyman dubbed over
all the actor voices except the voice of Brian Deacon because he
thought they were too high. The Warner Brothers 1979 commercial
release promoted by this poster lost $2 million and was seen as
unimaginative by critics, but since then the film has become a staple
in the evangelical toolbox; its promoters claim it has become the most
watched film of all time. It has been translated into 1100 languages
and still receives wide international distribution on DVD through
Internet sales and missionary work, sponsored by Bill Bright's Jesus
Film Project. For more information see
the Wikipedia article about this film and the links in
its footnotes.

the road he falls in love with Marie [Bernadette Peters], but Marie
reluctantly leaves him because of the lack of financial security.

soon homeless again and abandoned once more by Marie.

film James and the Giant Peach based on the book by Roald Dahl
with screenplay by Kasey Kirkpatrick, Jonathan Roberts and Steve Bloom
and starring Paul Terry as the voice of James and Peter Postlethwaite
as narrator.. Plot summary: James Henry Trotter was living happily
with his parents by the sea in England and looking forward to a trip

dream ended when an angry rhinocerous from the sky killed his parents
and James was forced to move in with his two abusive aunts, Spiker
[Joanna Lumley] and Sponge [Miriam Margolyes]. One day when James is
saving a spider from being crushed by his aunts, a man [Peter
Postlethwaite] gives him a bag of mysterious jumping green flourescent
crocodile tongues, tells him these magic tongues will improve his life
because he is not meant to be miserable, then disappears. James
stumbles and lets the tongues scatter into the ground, which causes a
peach in an old tree to grow to a gigantic size. His aunts start
selling tickets to see it. James crawls inside the peach through a
hole he makes and becomes friends with some very large talking insects
living inside. When they hear the aunts looking for James one of
them, Mr. Centipede [Richard Dreyfuss], chews off the stem connecting
the peach to the tree causing it to roll into the ocean and start
floating like a boat. James and the insects decide to navigate in the
peach to New York City. Spiker and Sponge follow them there but are
not able to disrupt James's happy new life. James and his friends
make themselves a townhouse in Central Park from the pit of the peach
after the children of New York have eaten the rest of it.

This is a US 27" x 41" one-sheet poster for a 1976 rerelease of the
1974 Gisaburo Sugii film Jack and the Beanstalk, English
version written and directed by Peter J. Solmo with screenplay by
Shuji Hirami and starring Billie Lou Watt as the voice of Jack. This
is a Japanese musical animation release based on the familiar fairy
tale, with a few twists. The English dubbed version has its own
character voice actors. Plot summary: When poor Jack climbs way into
the clouds to the top of a beanstalk that grew from a handful of magic
beans he got in a trade for the family cow, he finds himself in a
castle courtyard face-to-face with Margaret [Corinne Orr], the
castle's princess. Margaret tells Jack she is very happy because
tomorrow she will marry her beloved Prince Tulip (the giant) [Jack
Grimes]. This intended of Margaret's is not a menacing, fierce giant
of the fee-fi-fo-fum variety; this one is a stupid, clumsy, easily
manipulated fellow. Margaret introduces Jack to Prince Tulip's mother,
Madame Hecuba [Corinne Orr], actually an evil witch who has Margaret
spellbound. The witch's plan is to become queen of the Land of the
Clouds after Tulip and Margaret are married. She puts Jack to sleep
with drugged soup because she wants to eat him, but Jack wakes up and
escapes when the witch hides him from the approaching giant. Jack
meets some pantomiming mice dressed as courtiers; they were once the
people of the castle before the witch turned them into mice after
killing the castle's king and queen (Jack gets this information from a
talking harp). Jack sees a hen that lays golden eggs and when he
climbs back down the beanstalk he takes it with him along with some of
the treaure he finds lying around. He and his mother rejoice at their
good fortune, but Jack's dog Crosby [Jack Grimes] reminds him he must
go back up and prevent Margaret's marriage to Tulip. Back at the top,
Jack learns from the harp that Hecuba's spell over the princess will
be broken if someone brave kisses her. Jack crashes the wedding and
kisses Margaret. Then Margaret wakes up and recognizes Tulip and
Madame Hecuba for who they really are. An angry Tulip is about to
step on Jack, but then steps on the witch instead. Then the mice all
become people again, but the giant chases Jack down the beanstalk; as
in the original tale Jack chops down the beanstalk causing Tulip to
fall to his death.

This is a 14" x 36" US insert poster for the 1955 Bert I. Gordon
53-minute black-and-white film King Dinosaur based on the story
"Beast from Outer Space" by Bert I. Gordon and Al Zimbalist, with
screenplay by Tom Gries and starring William Bryant as Dr. Ralph
Martin. Plot summary: In 1960 four astronauts travel to a planet
called Nova known to have plant life that has just entered the Earth's
solar system. They want to determine if the new planet would be
suitable for a new colony of humans. They encounter an atmosphere
similar to Earth's with comparable vegetation; after taking off their
space suits and making themselves at home, they are attacked by a
crocodile and then have to fight giant insects and other outsized
creatures such as a snake, an alligator, an armadillo, some
prehistoric wooly mammoths and the king dinosaur himself, a giant
iguana the scientists compare to the prehistoric tyrannosaurus rex;
briefly, with no role to play in the film at all, we are also treated
to a glimpse of the bizarre-looking South American mata mata turtle. It took a week
to make this film using borrowed equipment and stock footage. The
poster, which has become popular among collectors, is quite a bit more
interesting than the film.

This is an 11" x 17" two-sided press sheet for the 1955 Byron Haskin
noir film Killer Bait, a rerelease of the 1949 Too Late for
Tears, based on a serial written for the Saturday Evening
Post and a screenplay both by Roy Huggins and starring Lizabeth
Scott as Jane Palmer. Plot summary: Jane and Alan Palmer [Arthur

in their Hollywood apartment Alan wants to turn it in to the police,
but Jane wants to hang on to it so Alan puts it in a locker at Union
Station to satisfy her. Before long someone named Danny Fuller [Dan
Duryea] comes to their apartment posing as a detective, but then drops
the facade when he finds some newly purchased goods and realizes Jane
has been spending the stash; he claims the money belongs to him. Jane
tells Danny she will split the money with him, but she really plans to
kill him when she gets him out into the hills. Danny realizes he
cannot trust Jane and flees. In a later altercation Jane shoots her
husband during a boat ride, dumps him in the lake and then reports him
to the police as a missing person. Jane later retrieves the money
from the locker and goes to Danny's apartment to ask for his help, but
ends up killing him with a poisoned drink instead.

This is a 27" x 40" US folded double-sided one-sheet for the 1994
Stephen Sommers film The Jungle Book very loosely based on the
Rudyard Kipling book with screenplay by Stephen Sommers, Ronald
Yanover and Mark Geldman and starring Jason Scott Lee as Mowgli. The
story in this non-animated film is a huge departure from all previous
film versions of The Jungle Book, for starters in the complete
absence of any idea that Mowgli is raised from infancy by animals, and
then in the much more extensive development of Mowgli's relationship
with Kitty, the girl he knew as a child before joining the animals.
Plot summary: Instead of being found and taken to a wolf pack by the
black panther Bagheera as an infant, at the age of five Mowgli [Sean
Naegeli] wanders away from a group of people in the jungle. Here is
where Bagheera finds him with his pet wolf pup, Grey Brother, and
takes him to the wolf pack. Years later when Mowgli has become a man
he has another encounter with the same group of people, where he finds
Kitty [Lena Headey] again and falls in love with her. The romance
does not go well at this point, and after learning to dance and speak
English Mowgli decides to return to the jungle because he is more at
home there. He is pursued by a group interested in getting
information from him about a lost jungle city and its treasure. In
the ensuing conflict Mowgli prevails with the help of his animal
friends, is reunited with Kitty and becomes lord of the jungle.
Cast and crew: Stephen Sommers, Rudyard Kipling, Ron Yanover, Mark Geldman, Jason Scott Lee, Cary Elwes, John Cleese, Lena Headey, Sam Neill, John Cleese, Jason Flemyng, Stefan Kalipha, Ron Donachie, Anirudh Agarwal, Faran Tahir, Sean Naegeli, Joanna Wolff, Liza Walker, Rachel Robertson, Natlie Morse
This is a 27" x 41" US one-sheet poster for a 1984 rerelease of the
1967 Wolfgang Reitherman film The Jungle Book based on Rudyard
Kipling's Mowgli stories in his book by the same title as the film,
screenplay by Larry Clemmons, Ralph Wright, Ken Anderson and Vance
Gerry and starring Phil Harris as the voice of Baloo the bear and the
director's son Bruce Reitherman as Mowgli. This was the last film
produced by Walt Disney, who died in 1966 during production. Plot
summary: Bagheera the black panther [Sebastian Cabot] finds Mowgli in
a basket in the jungle and takes him to a mother wolf so she can raise
him with her cubs. A few years later when they hear a man-eating
bengal tiger named Shere Khan [George Sanders] has returned to the
jungle, the wolves realize Mowgli must return to his own kind for
safety. Bagheera volunteers to take him to the man-village, but Mowgli
does not want to go because he prefers life in the jungle. Mowgli
gets support from Baloo the bear, who promises to continue with his
upbringing. Bagheera soon talks Baloo out of this idea after a few
mishaps and Mowgli runs away, angry with Baloo. Shere Khan hears of
this and decides he will hunt Mowgli down and kill him personally.
After Mowgli has a close call with Shere Khan, Bagheera and Baloo
finally take him to the man-village; Mowgli is unwilling to go there
at first but he is lured in by a beautiful young girl [Darleen Carr].
