Original Lynn, Jonathan Movie Posters

Jonathan Lynn movie posters from Clue (1985) and My Cousin Vinny (1992) span two of the more collectible cult comedy titles from their respective decades — original theatrical paper from a British director who brought his Yes Minister wit to American genre film. Lynn directed Clue (1985), the cult American comedy based on the Cluedo board game that featured a cast including Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, and Christopher Lloyd in multiple alternative endings released simultaneously to different theatres—a promotional innovation that generated considerable attention. He subsequently directed My Cousin Vinny (1992), the legal comedy starring Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei, which won Tomei the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.

Lynn's background in British television—he co-created and wrote Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister with Antony Jay—gave him a sharp political intelligence and a facility for constructing comedy from institutional absurdity that informed his best film work. My Cousin Vinny achieved the difficult balance of courtroom drama and broad comedy with considerable skill, and the film has maintained a consistent audience in the decades since its release. Original theatrical materials from Clue and My Cousin Vinny reflect the graphic design of Hollywood comedy releases of the 1980s and early 1990s respectively. Clue materials in particular carry collector interest from those drawn to the film's unique multiple-ending distribution gimmick, and original first-release examples are increasingly difficult to find.
