An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Fame, the classic 1980 Alan Parker New York City High School of the Performing Arts dancing musical melodrama ("If they've really got what it takes, it's going to take everything they've got."; "Fame is the glamour of the Great White Way of Broadway and the squalor of 42nd Street; the dream of instant success and the constant reminder of failure; the fine line between a Juilliard Scholarship and dancing topless at the Metropole... It's George M. Cohan and the City Ballet, Rock and Roll and Vivaldi. It is New York: vulgar yet beautiful. A dozen races pitching in and having their own crack at the American Dream."; "Written by Christopher Gore"; set in a fictitious New York City high school, based on the real High School of Performing Arts; about a group of highly talented students going to school and trying to become singers, actors, dancers, etc. at the same time) starring Irene Cara (best remembered for singing the theme song to this movie; as Coco), Lee Curreri (as Bruno), Albert Hague (as Mr. Shorofsky), Paul McCrane, Gene Anthony Ray (as Leroy), Debbie Allen (as Ms. Grant), and Anne Meara (as Mrs. Sherwood) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction were consigned to us by legendary French dealer/collector Dominique Besson. Dominique Besson started collecting movie posters in 1981, and became a dealer in French and European posters in 1994, and has remained as a top dealer ever since! But in addition, 30 years ago, Dominique began collecting U.S. one-sheets, first those with Saul Bass art, and then adding Alfred Hitchcock posters, then Humphrey Bogart, and he finally ended up collecting in an amazing total of 47 different categories, purchasing the posters from all over the world! Now the time has come to sell this wonderful collection, and Dominique has chosen eMoviePoster.com to do so, through our auctions! As noted above, all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I come from this more remarkable collection (the 28 that do not were consigned to us by other collectors, and are clearly marked). This is not all of the Dominique Besson collection we are auctioning. In addition, there are approximately 200 more folded one-sheets that will be in Part IV of this special auction (ones from the 1970s to present), and there are approximately 100 unfolded one-sheets that will be in Part III (including many great ones). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase folded one-sheets (all of which have had no professional restoration) from one of the greatest one-sheet collections assembled! Note that this one-sheet is from the category that Dominique Besson collected on that he labeled "Musical". Condition: very good. There is minor fold and border wear. It is otherwise in pretty nice condition and it displays well. Learn More about condition grades
