Two vintage black-and-white studio still photographs from the 1973 film, one showing director William Friedkin and one showing Friedkin and screenwriter William Peter Blatty. Based on the 1971 novel by screenwriter William Peter Blatty. The first and finest film in the series, following the demonic possession of a twelve-year-old girl and the ensuing attempts to purge her body of the evil spirit. One of the great genre films of the 1970s that accomplished the uncommon feat of being an over-the-top sensation upon its release and gaining subsequent status as a classic, with a strangeness and depth supplied by the strength of Ellen Burstyn and Max von Sydow's performances. One 9.75 x 8 inches, one 9.25 x 8 inches. Near Fine. National Film Registry.…

Vintage German A0 poster for the 1980 film. Extremely scarce. Based on the 1970 novel by Gerald Walker, about a cop who goes undercover in the leather scene in New York to catch a serial killer targeting gay men. "Cruising" was widely protested at the time of its release by gay rights groups for its depiction of homosexuality as intrinsically linked to violence, but has since been reconsidered as one of the few mainstream Hollywood movies to depict queer life in New York before the AIDS crisis, as well as one of the few movies to address police discrimination and brutality towards homosexuals. Set and shot on location in New York. 33 x 46 inches, folded as issued. About Fine. Carlson and Connolly, Destroy All Movies. Grant US. Spicer US Neo-Noir.…

Vintage borderless photograph from the 1967 film, showing Sonny Bono in the director's seat with a cameraman on a crane shot. An image in keeping with the somewhat metatextual nature of the film, in which Sonny Bono, playing himself, pitches ideas for movies starring Sonny and Cher (also as herself), which then become sketches spoofing classic Hollywood films, made even more so because the film wasn't directed by Bono, but by William Friedkin in his non-docmentary directorial debut. 10 x 8 inches. Near Fine. Hirschhorn, The Hollywood Musical.…

Vintage reference photograph from the 1971 film, showing actor Gene Hackman. Mimeo snipe affixed to the verso.

Vintage borderless reference photograph for the 1968 film, showing director William Friedkin talking with actress Britt Ekland on the set. From the archive of film historian and author Joel Finler. Based on the 1960 novel by Rowland Barber. A mildly exaggerated history of the creation of the striptease, and the downfall of 1920s-era burlesque clubs, in which an Amish girl performing Bible story dances at a burlesque club is being taken advantage of by the club's owner in order to mock public decency-enforcing police officers, and who accidentally invents the striptease when she tears her costume. Shot in 58 days and edited for 9 months, the film's budget exceeded $3 million, making it the most expensive film shot in New York City at the time. Elliot Gould's film debut, and Bert Lahr's last film, as he died during production. Set and shot on location in New York City. 8 x 10 inches. Near Fine. Olive Films 915.…

Vintage oversize borderless double weight black and white photograph from the 1972 film. An amazing image, showing Max von Sydow looming above-and seemingly beyond-a very possessed young Linda Blair. One of the great genre films of the 1970s that accomplished the uncommon feat of being an over-the-top sensation upon its release and gaining subsequent status as a classic, with a strangeness and depth supplied by Burstyn and Sydow that only increases with repeated viewings. Another distinction of "The Exorcist" was that it walked away with 2 Oscars (including Best Screenplay for Blatty), along with 8 nominations (including Best Picture), a feat nearly unheard for a horror film. 11 x 14 inches. Near Fine.…
