'Tintin et les Oranges Bleues' Original Vintage French Movie Poster, 1964

About the Item

A delightful French Moyenne poster illustrated by Belgian cartoonist Hergé for the second live-action feature film to be based on his beloved comic book series 'The Adventures of Tintin', which followed an adventurous young Belgian reporter and his faithful dog Snowy. Capitalising on the success of 'Tintin and the Golden Fleece' (Tintin et le mystère de la Toison d'Or) in 1961, 'Tintin and the Blue Oranges' (Tintin et les oranges bleues) followed in 1964, with Jean-Pierre Talbot reprising his role as the titular Tintin. An original story written by André Barret based on the Hergé characters, the plot saw Tintin, Snowy and Professor Calculus travel to Spain to investigate the theft of a mysterious blue orange - the solution to world hunger. Hergé's dynamic poster design for the French release pictured the determined Tintin sprinting from a toreador's bull, trailed in a zig-zag formation by Captain Haddock, Professor Calculus, a flamenco dancer, opera diva Bianca Castafiore, and incompetent detectives Thomson and Thompson bringing up the rear. Tintin's thought bubble reveals that his mind is on the mission - the blue orange, while Snowy is dreaming only of a juicy bone. CONDITION Archivally backed on linen with no restoration. Backing has smoothed one vertical and one horizontal machine fold and diminished the most minor splits to folds at edges. Some toning to paper and darkening to edges, typical of the acidic French film paper of this period. Image and colours excellent. Printed by Affiches Gaillard, Paris.

James Bond 'Goldfinger' Original Vintage British Quad Movie Poster, 1964
Located in Devon, GB
Considered the quintessential and definitive Bond film, the third instalment in EON Productions' James Bond series set the template for many of the subsequent films, with its tongue in cheek humour, extensive use of gadgets and technology and multiple foreign locations. The first Bond blockbuster, 1964's 'Goldfinger' was also the first Bond film to utilise a standalone pre-credits sequence, the first to employ a pop star to sing the theme song and the first to win an Academy Award. The plot saw 007 uncover a plot to contaminate the United States gold reserve at Fort Knox while investigating the smuggling activities of powerful gold magnate Auric Goldfinger. The film's lasting image is of the gold-painted girl, featured here on the sought after 'Style A' British Quad poster for the original UK release in 1964. Robert Brownjohn...
