Seller's Description
Original British 11 inch x 17 inch Double-Sided Trade Advertisement from Kinematograph Weekly for the 1955 Edward Dmytryk Adventure SOLDIER OF FORTUNE, based on the novel by Ernest K. Gann and starring Clark Gable, Susan Hayward, Michael Rennie, Gene Barry, Tom Tully, Alexander D'Arcy, Anna Sten, Leo Gordon, Jack Kruschen, James Hong, Russell Collins and Richard Loor.
An American woman arrives in Hong Kong to unravel the mystery of her missing photographer husband. After getting nowhere with the authorities, she is led by some underground characters to an American soldier of fortune working in the area against the Communists. He promises to help find her husband.
The advertisement artwork is by A. “Jock” W. Hinchliffe.
Hinchliffe was born in Perth, Scotland. In 1953 he had a studio in Chalk Farm, North London, where he produced a series of six oil paintings as publicity for 20th Century Fox’s “The Robe”. He had been engaged by Fox in 1926 and produced posters and ads continuously for them, and for Disney, well into the 1960s.
On the reverse is the 11 inch x 8 1/2 inch Trade Advertisement for the 1955 Jacques Tourneur Thriller KISS ME DEADLY, based on the novel by Mickey Spillane and starring Ralph Meeker, Albert Dekker, Paul Stewart, Juano Hernández, Wesley Addy, Marian Carr, Cloris Leachman, Jack Lambert, Jack Elam, Leigh Snowden, Strother Martin, Fortunio Bonanova and Nat King Cole.
Ralph Meeker stars as snarling private dick Mike Hammer, whose decision one dark, lonely night to pick up a hitchhiking woman sends him down some terrifying byways. Brazen and bleak, Kiss Me Deadly is a film noir masterwork as well as an essential piece of cold war paranoia, and it features as nervy an ending as has ever been seen in American cinema.
The Advertisement is in good to very good condition with a vertical centre fold with 2 staple holes along it.
