The first Christie's East poster auction that Bruce organized was on December 11, 1990.  I attended, and felt I could be high bidder on the Chaplin 1-sheet for A DOG'S LIFE, because it was estimated at $6,000-8,000, and I was willing to pay twice the high estimate.  As it turned out, I was the underbidder, and the poster sold for $17,600.  Two years later I saw the poster again, this time at a preview screening of CHAPLIN.  It was incorporated into the movie, and I realized that I had been bidding against Richard Attenborough.  One other copy of the poster has surfaced, but it has very different coloring.   That same auction saw a friend and fellow poster collector buy Jean Harlow's RED HEADED WOMAN 1-sheet for $10,780.  That poster also showed up on the big screen two years later, in Robert Altman's best film, THE PLAYER.  There are a number of other posters that appear in the offices of the studio executives in the film.  There is also a 1-sheet presented to the studio executives for approval, for the film within the film (that starred Bruce Willis and Julia Roberts).     Marty Davis Vintage Film Posters 43215 N.
