tunes!"
This is a 27" x 40" US one-sheet for the 1987 Barry Levinson
film Good Morning Vietnam written by Mitch Markowitz and
starring Robin Williams as Airman Second Class Adrian Cronauer, on
whose real experiences the film is loosely based. Plot summary: The
year is 1965 and Adrian Cronauer is a new disk jocky shipped to
Vietnam from Crete to add humor to Armed Forces Radio. The troops
love him but the army brass are outraged by his disregard for
regulations, his irreverence and his willful deviation from scheduled
army programming. Cronauer's problems increase when he sees a
Vietnames woman named Trinh [Chintara Sukapatana] and tries to develop
a relationship with her.

This is a 27" x 41" US one-sheet poster using art by John Solie to
promote the 1974 Steve Carver film Big Bad Mama based on a
story by William W. Norton and Frances Doel and starring Angie
Dickinson as Wilma McClatchie. Plot summary: In the early 1930s Wilma
McClatchie and her comely young daughters Billy Jean and Polly [Susan
Sennett and Robbie Lee] go from bootlegging to bank robbery following
in the footsteps of her deceased lover, then another criminal
companion named Fred Diller [Tom Skerritt]. After that they try
kidnapping, hoping to get a ransom for the beautiful daughter of a
millionaire. This film is a veritable bad-taste cornucopia of
robbery, mayhem, road collisions, gunfights and sexual conquests
filmed over a bouncy bluegrass soundtrack supplied by David Grisman
leading the Great American Music Band with help from Jerry Garcia on
banjo.
