Attack of the Crab Monsters (Allied Artists, 1957) One Sheet
Director Roger Corman capitalizes on the H-bomb hysteria of the 1950s by setting this tale on a remote island designated for weapons testing. Science meets nature, with horrifying results. Errant radiation spawns mind reading, mutant crabs bent on destroying the group of scientists who have landed on the island to investigate the disappearance of the previous team. Beauty is no match for the beast on this spectacular one sheet, with a terrified but lovely Pamela Duncan in the clutches of one angry crustacean.

Follow the Fleet (RKO, 1936). Lobby Card
This very popular scene card is from Follow the Fleet, the second top grossing Astaire-Rogers picture. The picture had some wonderful songs by Irving Berlin and featured Ginger Rogers’ only solo tap number of the series.
In this great scene, Fred Astaire listens in as Rogers talks to her wisecracking friend, played by a young, very blonde RKO contract player named Lucille Ball.
The Black Pirate (United Artists, 1926). Lobby Card
Douglas Fairbanks is outstanding as a swashbuckler in this early Technicolor film, and it’s one of his best pictures. He stars as a nobleman who swears vengeance on the pirates who killed his father. Albert Parker directs this impressive adventure, with leading lady Billie Dove, and co-stars Donald Crisp and Anders Randolf. —Heritage Auctions

Here Comes the Navy (Warner Brothers, 1934). Spanish One Sheet
James Cagney, Pat O’Brien and Frank McHugh all smile for the camera as they star in this tale of love and camaraderie among ship-mates. Cagney was his usual wise-cracking and punchy self and Pat O’Brien was the straight man for Cagney’s hijinks.
Among the more notable aspects of this film is that this was the first film that Cagney and O’Brien would make together. They would go on to make many more as their on-screen chemistry as best-buddies was evident. Another notable is that the film was shot in Hawaii aboard the USS Arizona — a ship that would sink to the bottom of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. This bright, colorful Spanish poster has artwork by Marti & Mari.
