The Phantom of the Opera / Il Fantasma Dell' Opera
About the Item
Original Italian film poster for the 1943 Horror film The Phantom of the Opera.
This film was directed by Arthur Lubin. The cast includes Nelson Eddy, Susanna Foster and Claude Rains. It tells the story of violinist Erique Claudin (Claude Rains), who is in love with Christine Dubois (Susanna Foster), a soprano understudy in the opera. Christine also has the attention of baritone Anatole Garron (Nelson Eddy) and police inspector Raoul Daubert (Edgar Barrier), who along with Claudin try to help further her career. Claudin uses all of his spare money paying for voice lessons for Christine. When Claudin loses his job, he hopes to earn some money by selling a piano concerto that he has written. However, he thinks that the music publisher is trying to steal his piece, and in a fit of madness, kills him. The publisher's assistant throws acid in Claudin's face, and scars him terribly. Claudin, now wanted for murder, escapes into the sewers of the opera house. He covers his disfigured face with a mask, thus becoming the Phantom of the Opera. The opera house is plagued by numerous crimes, and no one can find the mysterious phantom, whom they believe is behind everything. Anatole and inspector Raoul try to find the Phantom, in a hope that one of them will win. The artwork on this poster is by the Italian poster designer F. Carfagni (dates unknown)
The piece is conservation linen backed and would be shipped rolled in a strong tube.

- 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' Original Vintage Japanese Uncut Movie Poster, 1981Located in Devon, GBA rare two-sided uncut printer's proof for the Japanese release of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark.' When cut, this sheet would have provided eight Japanese B5 or 'Chirashi' mini posters for use as flyers in cinema lobbies to promote current and future releases. Popular with Japanese collectors, Chirashi often take the form of a miniature replica of the movie's poster, with information printed on the reverse. Conceived by producer George Lucas and directed by Steven Spielberg in their first collaboration, the spectacular 1981 action-adventure blockbuster 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' starred Harrison Ford as globe-trotting action-hero archeologist Indiana Jones in a quest for the biblical Ark of the Covenant. Created by Lucas as a tribute to the cliff-hanger western and adventure serials of the 30s and 40s, Raiders was a massive box office success, becoming the highest grossing film of 1981 and remaining one of the highest grossing films or all time when adjusted for inflation. Almost universally acclaimed by critics, with The New York Times calling it one of the most deliriously funny, ingenious and stylish American adventure...Category
