Original Billy Wilder Movie Posters

Billy Wilder movie posters represent the finest tier of mid-century Hollywood commercial art — authentic original prints from the career of the director who produced masterpieces in film noir, screwball comedy, cynical drama, romantic comedy, and courtroom thriller with equal authority. His roster of stars — Barbara Stanwyck, William Holden, Marilyn Monroe, Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau — gave his advertising campaigns some of the most bankable faces in Hollywood history to work with. Shop our Billy Wilder collection for original campaign materials from across his extraordinary range. Double Indemnity (1944) — with Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray — produced one of the most atmospheric film noir one-sheets ever printed, its shadowy half-sheet as lean and ruthless as the film's dialogue. Sunset Boulevard (1950), with William Holden and Gloria Swanson, generated a campaign that had to sell a film about Hollywood's self-destruction to Hollywood audiences — a task the advertising team handled with considerable dark wit. The comedy campaigns — Some Like It Hot (1959) with Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, and Jack Lemmon; The Apartment (1960); Irma la Douce (1963) — produced one-sheets and lobby cards of the warmly illustrated style that defined late 1950s Hollywood advertising. The Monroe one-sheet for Some Like It Hot is among the most widely recognized comedy film posters in American cinema history, and original examples in fine condition are increasingly rare.
