Jean Simmons and Vivian Blaine, and “Guys and Dolls” delivers the goods, earning four Academy Award nominations. Many collectors favor the rare “Guys and Dolls” 40-by60-inch style Y movie poster, which features the four principal stars and the tagline, “It’s a Living Breathing Doll of a Musical!” One example in rolled very fine condition sold at auction for $1,314.50. “Sayonara” (1957). Marlon Brando earned a Best Actor Oscar nomination for his role as Major Lloyd “Ace” Gruver, a Korean War air ace whose own prejudices are put to the test when he falls for a young Japanese woman. “Sayonara” memorabilia is still affordable. The film’s standard one-sheet poster (27-by41 inches), featuring Brando and Miiko Taka, is a welcome addition to any collection. One example in folded fine/very fine condition brought a top bid of $113.53 at auction. “Mutiny on the Bounty” (1962). Marlon Brando plays Fletcher Christian, a British naval officer who leads a mutiny against the tyrannical Captain William Bligh (Trevor Howard) aboard the HMS Bounty in the year 1787. Filmed partly on location in the South Pacific, “Mutiny on the Bounty” earned seven Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture. One of the movie’s standout pieces is the exquisite French four-panel poster (124by-93 inches) titled “Les Revoltes Du Bounty,” featuring artwork by Roger Soubie. One example in restored fine/very fine condition on linen sailed to a winning bid of $501.90 at auction. “The Godfather” (1972). Marlon Brando earned his second Best Actor Oscar playing crime family patriarch Don Vito Corleone in director Francis Ford Coppola’s sweeping epic “The Godfather.” Once again, Brando scored one of the more memorable movie lines in history, reassuring singer Johnny Fontaine (Al Martino), who covets a choice movie role from a recalcitrant Hollywood director, “I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse.” The eight-card lobby set from “The Godfather” is a choice item among collectors. One card is rather grisly, featuring the massacre of hotheaded Sonny Corleone (James Caan) at a toll station by tommy gun-wielding mobsters. One set in pristine, CGCgraded mint condition sold at auction for $1,015.75. Wisely, the auction house didn’t refuse the bid. “The Missouri Breaks” (1976). Marlon Brando and Jack Nicholson team up in this epic western set in rugged north central Montana populated by the famous Missouri River “breaks,” deep cuts forged in the land by the rushing waters. Brando plays gun-for-hire regulator Robert E. Lee Clayton, and Nicholson appears as his nemesis, Tom Logan, the leader of a gang of horse rustlers. Although a commercial flop, “The Missouri Breaks” still rates high with many collectors. The movie’s standard one-sheet advance poster (27by-41 inches) with artwork by Bob Peak features Brando and Nicholson. One example in folded, near-mint condition
