HOTEL ~ U.S. Half-Sheet Poster NSS# 67/4 -~ WARNER BROS. ~ 1967
This attractive RARE-SIZE / RARE-TITLE poster from the hit film adaptation of ARTHUR HAILEY's best selling novel is in Good condition. It has always been ROLLED or stored flat - NEVER FOLDED. With general corner, edge and surface wear; thin, diagonal creasing at the top right and bottom left (white) edges ; an approx 1" horizontal tear at the left center edge and an approx 1" vertical tear at the top right edge, both with no paper loss ; some think, pale-gray veining at the left (white) edge ; several light and sparse surface creases / surface impressions in various places, including some photo images ; an approx. 1/16" or smaller circular surface chip in top right photo above Douglas' eye. With bright, rich colors and sharp images, it's printed on heavy glossy poster stock.
This dramatic poster has a cool, 50s-look title logo and trademark image of a hotel and the (best-selling) book - from ARTHUR HAILEY, author of another multi-character hit movie and book: AIRPORT . It features seven eye-catching art images that identify the all-star cast by character, with descriptive text:
ROD TAYLOR - "THE HOTEL MANAGER who knew there were only so many secrets you could sweep under the plush carpeted rugs of the St. Gregory"
CATHERINE SPAAK - "THE GIRL FROM PARIS who was a rich man's traveling companion. Can you think of a better way to travel?"
KARL MALDEN - "THE KEY THIEF who had a working arrangement with the B-girls in New Orleans' most notorious strip joints."
RICHARD CONTE - "THE HOUSE DETECTIVE who knew where all the bodies were buried -- and didn't mind digging them up."
MELVYN DOUGLAS - "THE GRAND OLD MAN who was part of a gracious way of life that had disappeared forever."
MERLE OBERON (pictured with MICHAEL RENNIE) - "THE DUCHESS whose ruthless ambition was willing to pay any price - even blackmail."
KEVIN McCARTHY - "THE TYCOON who was a loaded gun aimed at the heart of the St. Gregory."
The poster includes the following text:
" WARNER BROS. UNLOCKS ALL THE DOORS OF THE SENSATION-FILLED BEST SELLER "
The accompanying photo shows this actual item. There's some light-glare across the top right of the accompanying photo that's not on the actual poster, which is consistently bright from top to bottom. There may be clips visible in the photos, variously at the four corners and the top and/or bottom center edges. These are not a flaw in or a part of this item. The words "Percepto Sample Image" which may appear on some photos do not appear on the actual item. All rights reserved for original photos, artwork and text.

If paying by Paypal or GOOGLE CHECKOUT, please pay for multiple-purchases with one payment. Payment is due within 7 days of the sale. Shipping charges reflect our compliance with Paypal & Google Checkout requirements for tracking and insurance and this sometimes prevents us from offering lower-cost shipping methods for items we list here.
We offer SHIPPING DISCOUNTS for multiple purchases made WITHIN A SEVEN-DAY PERIOD that can be sent in the same container to ONE Domestic or Foreign shipping address! Items that are shipped in tubes and items which are shipped flat can sometimes - but not always - combined. We do our best to keep shipping costs as reasonable as the Post Office and Sale / Auction Site Pay regulations allow.
Items returned to us by USPS because they were undeliverable / not picked up by the customer require a second payment of postage charges (and additional fees imposed by Post Office, if any) before item will be re-shipped.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS - PLEASE NOTE:
Priority Mail International shipping totals generally include insurance coverage up to $70 in actual merchandise value, with additional insurance available and sometimes REQUIRED at an additional cost (not calculated above). Occasionally, some higher-priced or oversized items may REQUIRE REGISTERED AIR MAIL at an additional cost (not calculated here). This is due to Paypal / Google Checkout policy requirements.
PRIORITY MAIL Takes approximately 7-10 DAY to arrive from Date of Shipping
1st CLASS MAIL (when available): Per the USPS: "Delivery Time VARIES" from Date of Shipping
Shipping arrival times are approximate and do not include possible delays in delivery as a result of customs inspections, which can delay delivery by as much as 30+ days.
Occasionally Paypal will email an invoice immediately after a sale which incorrectly lists only the USA domestic shipping charges. A corrected invoice, showing the shipping charges to your country will follow shortly thereafter. Please wait for the corrected invoice before paying - unless you are actually requesting shipment to a domestic USA shipping destination.
Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up - do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.
We do not falsify customs forms to mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit this.
