North and Harry Brown and starring Gregory Peck as Captain Richard Lance. Plot summary: After the American Civil War a fort is built outside a mountain pass in New Mexico Territory to interdict maruauding Apaches. The Apaches cut off the fort's water supply and then attack after it becomes weak and debilitated. Shortly thereafter Captain Lance arrives with a patrol and captures Tuscos [Michael Ansara], the charismatic Apache leader. His scout [Jeff Corey] advises him to kill Tuscos, but Lance refuses to shoot a prisoner. Back at Fort Winston, Lance assigns an officer to lead a patrol escorting Tuscos to Fort Grant; Apaches attack the escort and Tuscos escapes. Captain Lance leads a patrol of those he considers to be Fort Winston's most expendable soldiers, back to what is left of Fort Invincible to fight off avenging Apaches pending arrival of a relief column. The outnumbered misfits in this tiny patrol see it as a suicide mission, but they know Lance's leadership is their only hope of survival.

Joan of Arc (1948) - (Ingrid Bergman) Argentine poster

Joan of Arc (1948) - (Ingrid Bergman) Argentine one-sheet

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. For more information watch the movie and see Wikipedia and the links to its footnotes.
