Vestron Pictures Original U.S. One-Sheet Poster (27x41) for the last film of John Huston, THE DEAD (1987). The film stars a radiant Angelica Huston and a host of Irish actors including Donal McCann, Sean McClory, Kate O'Toole, and Dan O'Herlihy. Adapted from a story by James Joyce, the film unfolds at a party on Epiphany Party in Dublin in 1904. It is snowing outside, but inside the home of the two sisters hosting this gathering there is dining and dancing. The screenplay was written by Tony Huston, and he brings to life the guests at this gathering a gallery of characters for the camera to adore. Angelica Huston plays Gretta Conroy. She is married to an academic played by Donal McCann. In the course of the evening, she is brought suddenly to remember the fate of a deceased lover. It is a profoundly emotional moment, and a fitting swan song for John Huston. The U.S. one-sheet is probably the most beautiful poster of any John Huston film. This poster was never used in a theater, and the condition is very fine plus. MovieArt Original Film Posters in Austin, Texas does not sell reproductions
