Auction History Result p084 SILENCERS linen Japanese movie poster '66 Dean Martin, Stevens Date Sold 3/21/2005Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Japanese Movie Poster (measures 20" x 28 1/2") (Learn More) The Silencers, the 1966 Phil Karlson spy espionage action comedy spoof ("Matt Helm shoots the works!"; "The Slaygirls will slay you!"; "They've got what it takes to 'get' Matt Helm"; "Based on novels by Donald Hamilton") starring Dean Martin ("as Matt Helm"), Stella Stevens, Daliah Lavi, Victor Buono, Arthur O'Connell, Robert Webber, James Gregory, Roger C. Carmel, Beverly Adams ("as Lovey Kravezit"), Cyd Charisse, and "featuring The Slaygirls" Mary Mangler, Margie Nelson, Marilyn Tindall, Jan Watson, Barbara Burgess, and Margaret Teele. Note that this is the first film to feature a post-credits scene! Also, note that this movie was produced by Irving Allen. Allen and Cubby Broccoli had produced a long string of movies together, but then they split apart when Broccoli proposed that they produce the James Bond series of movies, which Allen did not want to produce, because he did not think that they were even good enough for television! A few years later, Allen tried to make up for his massive blunder by producing this series of Matt Helm movies starring Dean Martin, but the only way he could get Martin to star in this first one was to make him a partner, which meant that Martin made more money from The Silencers in 1966 than Sean Connery made on Thunderball the previous year, and Connery was not happy about that at all!

Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster was never folded. It had minor border defects. The poster was overall in nice condition prior to linenbacking. It was well backed, and looks great! Learn More about condition grades
