Paul Newman 'Hud' Original Vintage Movie Poster, Japanese, 1963
About the Item
Evoking the wide, flat landscape and beating sun of the American West, this rare knockout poster for the original Japanese release of revisionist Western ‘Hud’ places Paul Newman center stage as the titular raffish anti-hero. A loose adaptation of Larry McMurtry's 1961 novel ‘Horseman, Pass By,’ the film situated crude and arrogant young cattle rancher Hud Bannon against his moral, law-abiding father during an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in modern day Texas. A critical and commercial success on release, the film was nominated for seven Academy Awards, winning three including Best Actress for co-star Patricia Neal and Best Actor for Melvyn Douglas as ranch patriarch Homer Bannon. In a prescient indicator of the generational conflict which would characterize the counterculture of the 1960s, young audiences fell in love with Newman as the selfish, swaggering Hud. Director Martin Ritt, who had intended the outwardly charming but morally repugnant character as a caution against personal corruption in modern America, was appalled by the admiration for his anti-hero among America’s alienated youth. Later Newman posed: “Hud was good with women. He did all those macho things. He wore his pants right. But we thought the fact that he was basically rotten at the core would be the distinguishable feature. What we didn’t realize was that all of the other things overwhelmed that single flaw and he came away a folk hero. We thought people would turn away from him, but apparently he was part of the American Dream.”

Elvis 'Girls! Girls! Girls!' Original Vintage Japanese B2 Movie Poster, 1963
Located in Devon, GB
Following the tried and tested golden formula of light-hearted musical entertainment, exotic location and girls galore which saw Elvis' soundtrack albums far outstrip his regular album sales, 'Girls! Girls! Girls!' stands out as one of Elvis Presley's more popular films, even receiving a Golden Globe nomination for Best Motion Picture - Musical. Elvis' eleventh feature film and his second shot in Hawaii, 'Girls! Girls! Girls!' was a safe money-spinner for both his record label RCA and the film's distributor Paramount, who saw Elvis voted as 1962's 'Top Box Office Draw' for having three of the top grossing films of that year. The highlight of the film is Presley's performance of his enduring pop classic 'Return to Sender,' which subsequently peaked at no.2 on the US Billboard chart when released as the lead single from the soundtrack album. Seen in sublime profile, Elvis is every inch the handsome heartthrob as the penniless fishing boat pilot on this ultra rare B2 poster for the original Japanese release. Completing one of the best poster designs we have seen for this picture, a bevy of bikini-clad beauties feature at the foot of the photomontage, with Elvis as the carefree sailor sandwiched between his two love interests, played by Stella Stevens...
