Advance One Sheets (2) and 1990 Promotional Calendar Poster (27" x 40", 18" x 27"); Double-Sided (2) and Single-Sided ;
Very Fine- Rolled; Artwork by Jonny Kwan
Buena Vista, 1990

This lot includes two double-sided advance posters featuring vibrant, comic strip-like artwork of Warren Beatty as Dick Tracy. Both are rolled and have a high-gloss finish that makes the images stand out. The "Next Summer" style one sheet shows only light edge wear sporadically along the upper quarter of the right edge. The "I'm On My Way" poster has only small areas of sporadic scuffing that do not affect the front. The third item is a beautiful Promotional Calendar poster for 1990, also rolled and printed single-sided. In excellent condition, it is confirmed authentic by the machine-printed serial number on the back at the upper right corner. This is a great set of posters from this popular live-action film.

"Dick Tracy" is an action-crime comedy inspired by the 1930s comic strip created by Chester Gould. Warren Beatty directed, produced and starred in the title role, supported by a star-studded cast including Al Pacino, Madonna, Glenne Headly, and Charlie Korsmo. The film also features appearances by Dustin Hoffman, James Caan, Catherine O'Hara, and Dick Van Dyke, among others. The story follows detective Dick Tracy as he navigates a love triangle between singer Breathless Mahoney and longtime partner Tess Trueheart, while battling crime boss Alphonse "Big Boy" Caprice and his gang. Along the way, he takes in a tough, street-smart kid and becomes his guardian.During the early stages of Dick Tracy's development, Warren Beatty chose to limit the film's color palette to just seven distinct hues-mainly red, green, blue, and yellow-to reflect its comic strip roots. Each color was deliberately kept to a consistent, uniform shade throughout the film.
