Original DaCosta, Morton Movie Posters

Morton DaCosta movie posters from his two Hollywood musicals rank among the most ebullient and colourfully illustrated campaign materials of the early 1960s — authentic original prints for the director who brought both Auntie Mame and The Music Man from Broadway smash hit to cinema screen. Shop our Morton DaCosta collection for original Warner Bros. campaign materials from both productions. The original one-sheets for The Music Man (1962) — with Robert Preston reprising his definitive stage role alongside Shirley Jones — feature poster artwork capturing the film's small-town Americana exuberance in Technicolor lithography of exceptional quality. Roadshow-engagement one-sheets differ from the general-release campaign in their oversize format and reserved-seat booking information, making them particularly desirable as documents of the roadshow era. The Auntie Mame (1958) campaign with Rosalind Russell produced equally vigorous material — lobby card sets, insert cards, and the large-format three-sheet were all produced in the saturated colour palette typical of late-50s Warner promotional material. The 40×60 format for Auntie Mame, intended for outdoor posting rather than foyer display, is now scarce in undamaged condition given its exposure to the elements during original use. Window cards for both films, produced in the standard 14×22 format for regional bookings, carry the charm typical of that period's smaller-format promotional material.
