Contact seller5-star sellerTwo vintage studio still photographs from the 1970 British-American film. Based on Sheridan Le Fanu's 1871 novella, "Carmilla." An erotic, vampire horror entry in which a beautiful, seductive vampire befriends a young woman and begins to feast off her blood. The lesbian relationship between the vampire and her young victim conce…rned the censor, who warned that they might have to cut significant portions before it was suitable for release. However, once the production company made it clear that the lesbian relationship was implied in the source material and was not simply a sensationalist ploy, the film was released uncensored. Set in Styria, shot on location in England. 8 x 10 inches. Near Fine. Johnson and Del Vecchio, p. 317.

A Night to Remember [Atlantique Latitude 41 Degrees] (Original French poster from the 1958 British film)

Contact seller5-star sellerVintage French theatrical release poster for the seminal 1958 British docudrama, "A Night to Remember," here under its French title, "Atlantique Latitude 41 Degrees." Probably the most distinctive poster produced for the film. Novelist Ambler and director Baker set out to make a film that depicted the sinking of the Titanic as a…ccurately as possible, with no added fictional subplots. In addition to being massively entertaining, the film is today held in high regard by "Titanic" historians, compared to the more melodramatic (and big-budget) take by James Cameron in 1997. Director Baker noted in a 1991 interview, "The whole purpose of making the film was to show a society [that] had persuaded itself that you could make a ship which could never to be sunk." 34 x 52 inches, on archival linen, Fine condition. Criterion Collection 7. McFarlane p. 51.
