About the Item

A scarce original stone lithograph poster for the first Australian release of the 1962 American film adaptation of Harper Lee's 1960 Pulitzer Prize winning novel 'To Kill A Mockingbird,' which addressed themes of racism and injustice in the Deep South. Gregory Peck won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance as Alabama lawyer Atticus Finch, while his ten-year-old co-star Mary Badham was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for her role as daughter Scout. Robert Duvall made his big screen debut as the misunderstood recluse Boo Radley. Like Lee's novel, which has become a beloved classic of modern American literature, the film was an immediate success, earning more than six times its budget and garnering eight Oscar nominations including Best Picture. Screenwriter Horton Foote took home the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. The American Film Institute ranked the film 25th on their list of the greatest American movies of all time and named Atticus Finch the greatest movie hero of the 20th century. Peck's performance has become synonymous with the honourable character of Atticus - in liner notes for a 2005 DVD re-release, Harper Lee wrote: "When he played Atticus Finch, he had played himself, and time has told all of us something more: when he played himself, he touched the world." Printed in Australia by Robert Brown Pty Ltd., Sydney. Conservation backed on linen with no restoration. Backing has smoothed and diminished the standard two horizontal folds. Image and colours excellent. Unframed. Will be shipped rolled in a sturdy postal tube.

'Thunderbirds Are Go' Original Vintage Australian Daybill Movie Poster, 1966
Located in Devon, GB
Printed in stunning stone lithography, this explosive Australian Daybill poster advertised the first full length feature film based on the British sci-fi Supermarionation television series 'Thunderbirds.'
