Elizabeth Taylor movie posters document one of cinema's most glamorous stars, gathering original material from epic productions, dramas, and collaborations spanning the 1950s-1970s. Taylor's films generated promotional materials commensurate with her stardom: large-format, richly produced, and often reflecting the significant productions they advertised.
The MGM years define the collection's historical core. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958), Suddenly, Last Summer (1959), BUtterfield 8 (1960, for which she won her first Academy Award), and Cleopatra (1963) — the most expensive film ever made at that time — produced campaigns ranging from intimate psychological drama to epic spectacle. Cleopatra's campaign materials are among the most elaborate produced by Fox in the 1960s; original one-sheets from the 1963 release are substantial collector pieces. Her two Oscar wins frame a decade of extraordinary creative and commercial dominance. The Burton collaborations — The V.I.P.s (1963), The Sandpiper (1965), Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966), The Taming of the Shrew (1967) — form a distinct collecting sub-category of their own.
Available in US one-sheets, half-sheets, lobby card sets, inserts, and international formats from France, Italy, UK, and Germany. Condition runs Fine to Very Fine. Original theatrical paper from Cleopatra, Giant, and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is now seldom found in fine condition.
