Hi,
I was looking at Part I of Bruce's Spring Auction and noticed an unfolded 1/2
sheet for "Rebel Without a Cause".

In the description field it says...

I couldn't agree more Bruce. A movie is so much more compelling with a great
villan...
Ricardo Montalban in Star Trek II
Henry Fonda in "Once Upon A Time In The West"
Heath Ledger in Dark Knight
Klaus Kinski in The Great Silence
...if the villan isn't strictly a one dimensional character but

I'd also add Rutger Hauer's performance in "The Hitcher" to the great villans
list.

"what I didn’t like was the bunches of posters in the closets, never being

If you feel Bruce or anyone else conducts business unfairly and you would like
to warn the public at large then list your grievances (with proof). Weeding
out unscrupulous operators would be a public service.
However the constant sniping comes off as petty.

C7 or better condition.

Hi,
I recently framed a "Wild Bunch" window card. As I was sliding the card into
the frame I noticed (for the first time) that the top blank area was painted.
I only discovered this because I was framing the card in front of the window
and the paint was not transparent in the sunlight.
I h

Hollywood does still make a few good films each year..."Drive" & "We Need to
Talk About Kevin" were IMO pretty decent; however when I think of my favorite
films over the past several years the majority are "foreign"...

I agree - Melancholia is definitely worth watchingperformances, pacing,

Hi Sean,
I picked up the "Dark Passage" title card and had a very nice conversation on
the phone with Pete last night.
When I paid the invoice there were 2 charges for shipping - which I assumed was
