Item description

This is a vintage original 27x41 in. US one-sheet poster from the popular 1980's fantasy/adventure mystery thriller, YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES, released in 1985 by Paramount Pictures and directed by Barry Levinson. Executive-produced by Steven Spielberg, Sherlock Holmes (Nicholas Rowe) and John Watson (Alan Cox) meet as boys in an English Boarding school. Holmes is known for his deductive ability even as a youth, amazing his classmates with his abilities. When they discover a plot to murder a series of British business men by an Egyptian cult, they move to stop it. The cast also includes Anthony Higgins, Susan Fleetwood, Freddie Jones, Nigel Stock, Roger Ashton Griffiths, Earl Rhodes, Brian Oulton, Patrick Newell, Donald Eccles, Nadim Sawalha, and Roger Brierley. The poster features beautiful artwork, the design of which depicts an adult Sherlock Holmes, smoking his pipe, as he looks through a magnifying glass, but as we the viewers looks through back at him, we see the young Sherlock Holmes. Beneath this are three vignettes, all of which are rendered to evoke a feeling of the period in which the story is set. Unrestored and rolled as originally issued, this vintage original one-sheet is in fine+ condition with a light horizontal crease just above the nose of the young Sherlock (which does not go all the way across the width); light signs of wear along the top half of the left edge; and some small creases from handling over time beneath the top edge, which are unobtrusive. There are no pinholes, tears, stains, or other flaws and the beautiful color tints are fresh and vibrant without any signs of fading. Young Sherlock Holmes was the first theatrical movie to have a completely CGI (computer graphics image) character: the knight coming out of the stained glass window. Industrial Light Magic animated the scene, overseen by John Lasseter, in a very early movie credit for Pixar, which took Industrial Light Magic artists four months to create. The opening credit sequence (a shadow moving across the ground) was an homage to the opening credit sequence of the classic Basil Rathbone/Nigel Bruce Sherlock Holmes/Dr. Watson film franchise by Universal Pictures. A magnifying glass is often associated with Sherlock Holmes along with the smoking pipe and deerstalker hat. Some promotional materials for this movie, such as the movie poster offers here, formed out of the letter "O" in the word "Holmes" an image of a circular magnifying glass together with a handle.
