Jubal (1956) - (Glenn Ford) US one-sheet

This is a 27" x 41" US one-sheet poster for the 1956 Delmer Daves film Jubal based on the novel by Paul I. Wellman with screenplay by Russell S. Hughes and Delmer Daves and starring Glenn Ford as Jubal Troop. This is a Western reworking of Shakespeare's Othello where Ernest Borgnine is the Othello character in his role as Shep Horgan, Rod Steiger is Iago in his role as 'Pinky' Pinkum and Glenn Ford's Jubal Troop is Cassio. Plot summary: Shep Horgan finds Jubal Troop on the side of a road with no horse and in a weakened condition. He gives Jubal shelter and Jubal quickly gets into a conflict with cattleman Pinky; Pinky says Jubal smells like sheep. Horgan likes Jubal and offers him work at the ranch. His wife Mae [Valerie French] also expresses an interest in Jubal behind Horgan's back. Jubal is actually interested in Naomi [Felicia Farr], a young woman who is part of a religious wagon train camped on the ranch. When Pinky and the other cowhands try to drive them away, Jubal stands up for them; this further antagonizes Pinky. Jubal has an ally in Reb [Charles Bronson], who has joined the wagon train. Horgan ends up hiring Reb to help Jubal. When Horgan confronts Jubal with a gun because he suspects him of having a relationship with his wife, Jubal kills him with a pistol Reb throws to him.

Kiss Me Stupid (1965) - (Dean Marin) US insert

Kiss Me Stupid (1965) - (Dean Martin) US insert

This is a 14" x 36" US insert poster for the 1965 Billy Wilder film Kiss Me Stupid from a screenplay by Billy Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond based on a play by Anna Bonacci and starring Dean Martin as Dino. Plot summary: In an unexpected detour the pop singer Dino finds himself in Climax Nevada, where he meets a pair of amateur songwriters Barney Milsap [Cliff Osmond] and Orville J. Spooner [Ray Walston]. The two invent a reason to keep Dino in town for a night so they can try to sell him some of their songs. Orville invites Dino to stay over with him and his wife Zelda [Felicia Farr]. Being compulsively possessive and jealous, Orville has second thoughts because he fears Dino will try to seduce Zelda, so he drives her out for the night and brings in a prostitute from the Belly Button Road House named Polly the Pistol [Kim Novak] to pose as his wife. In a bizarre turn of events, that night the fickle Orville tosses Dino out so he can sleep with Polly, who has also fallen for the idea of being a married woman even if just for a night. Dino goes to the Belly Button and meets Zelda, now a temporary occupant of Polly's trailer. He thinks Zelda is Polly and finds it easy to seduce her because she is already a fan; she also sells him one of Orville's songs.
