Original Alan Arkin Movie Posters

Alan Arkin movie posters trace six decades of American cinema — a performer who worked across six decades, earning him two Academy Award nominations before a late-career Oscar win for Little Miss Sunshine in 2007, and whose presence guaranteed a quality of intelligent, committed performance in almost any film he appeared in.

Arkin came to film stardom through his stage work with Second City and Broadway, carrying the improvisational intelligence of that training into screen performance. The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming (1966) earned him his first Oscar nomination in his screen debut — an immediate arrival. Wait Until Dark (1967), with Audrey Hepburn, cast him memorably against type as a menacing villain. The In-Laws (1979), opposite Peter Falk, became a cult comedy touchstone. Edward Scissorhands's psychiatrist, the patriarch of Little Miss Sunshine, the CIA director in Argo: each role demonstrating his range and precision.

His theatrical materials span five decades of American cinema, from the black-and-white one-sheets of his 1960s debut through the full-colour multiplex campaigns of his late-career work. The variety of genres — comedy, thriller, drama, ensemble — reflects a career defined by quality over typecasting. Original theatrical paper from his 1960s and 1970s work is now scarce and seldom found in fine condition.
