About the Item

We adore this rare original 1956 British double crown poster for Bus Stop featuring a vibrant and glamorous portrait of Marilyn Monroe rendered with exceptional flair, capturing all the allure and star power associated with the film’s celebrated lead. Arguably the best deisng for the title. Designed by acclaimed British illustrator Tom Chantrell (1916–2001), one of the most prolific and influential poster artists of the 20th century. Known for his dramatic compositions, bold colour work and enviable ability to distil a film’s energy into a single unforgettable image, Chantrell created thousands of posters across several decades. His work became synonymous with British cinema advertising, and his pieces — notable for their dynamism and meticulous craftsmanship — are now highly prized by collectors worldwide. Bus Stop (1956) is a romantic comedy-drama following a naive young cowboy who becomes infatuated with a nightclub singer, leading to a clash of wills, desires and heartfelt self-discovery. Celebrated for its warmth, charm and standout performances, the film remains a cherished mid-century classic. A superb centrepiece for any collection. This original vintage movie poster was originally rolled has been professionally linen-backed and is sized 20 x 30 inches(plus a little with the linen-backing). It will be sent rolled (unframed).

South Pacific R1960s UK Quad Film Poster, Tom Chantrell
By Tom William Chantrell
Located in Bath, Somerset
We adore the 60s re-release for classic musical South Pacific. Tom Chantrell's design is more akin to a travel poster than a film poster, and it certainly makes us want to visit! Sumptuous colours. Tom Chantrell (1916 - 2001) arguably the greatest British film poster designer, certainly one of its most prolific, reputedly finishing some 800 designs. Born the son of a circus performer in Manchester, England, he started work in advertising as an illustrator. During WWII he put his artistic skills to use designing propaganda posters for the war effort. After the war, he established a career in cinema advertising, and established his name designing posters for epic films such as The King and I (1956), One Million Years B.C. (1966) and Star Wars (1977), as well as Hammer horror...
