About the Item

Original British film poster for the 1977 British comedy directed by Terry Gilliam. The film stars Michael Palin, Harry H. Corbett and John Le Mesurier. Palin plays the clumsy young Dennis Cooper, who is mistaken as the kingdom's only hope in saving the entire kingdom from a terrible dragon called Jabberwocky. Cooper has to undertake a number of adventures in order to defeat the monster. The film is a similar style to Monty Python and the Holy Grail, which Gilliam also worked on. This poster was signed by Terry Gilliam at the BFI, London, during the screening of Time Bandits, It is rare for anyone to have an original film poster signed, as the majority of signatures are on pieces of paper, photographs and video/dvd sleeves. It is unusual to have the film's poster with you when you try to obtain signatures. This poster is from the The Sohal collection. The poster is conservation linen backed and would be shipped rolled in a very strong tube.

James Bond 'Dr. No' Original Vintage Movie Poster, Yugoslavian, 1962
Located in Devon, GB
Based on Ian Fleming's novel of the same name, the 1962 release of 'Dr. No' first introduced the world to one of the most enduring characters in Western cinema and kicked off one of the most successful film franchises of all time. Suave British spy James Bond travels to Jamaica to investigate the disappearance of a fellow agent, where he battles a megalomaniac scientist bent on disrupting the US space programme. In the same way that the first film established many of the themes and visual aspects that came to be associated with the James Bond series, the first film posters set a template for the visual representation of Bond that has seen little deviation over the past 60 years. Based on a design by David Chasman, illustrator Mitchell Hooks...
