Congratulations T, that book seems like the perfect guide. I always get all emotional when I see one of my posters in a book ( not that it happens often though!). I assume you have Le repos du Guerrier ( with the couple) wonderful poster. Now, between you and I - dont tell anyone - I am not a Bardot fan, but I do appreciate the thrill and artwork.

Great book.

I am always grateful to hear that other collectors do not collect what I collect. I wish there were more like you so I wouldn't have to waste thousands of dollars on some posters. Alas, I know I'm not the only one on that Bardot kick and it's both thrilling and utterly annoying.

And regarding the book, I'm actually the complete opposite. I take no pleasure in seeing a poster I already own in a book since I already own it and it's old news. The pleasure comes from the hunt, from seeing a poster I don't own and getting it. That's the only thing that keeps me going.

And yes, I have all the Repos du Guerrier posters.

T

I have been after this poster for the longest time. This is the first time Bardot appears on a movie poster.

Whatever you paid for this beauty is understandable.
Congratulations, T.

Just picked these up to day.

This is a tough poster to find.
Good job, Big Mike!

Gotta see this,

I like The Doctor and the Devils poster, Ari.

Is the film any good?

"From the makers of The Elephant Man" That could be a good sign.

Ari · « **Reply #255 on:** November 29, 2015, 11:58:14 PM »

I like it, its Directed by FREDDIE FRANCIS of Hammer fame (who also shot Elephant man amongst many other things)

oh and its about Bourke and Hare etc

erik1925 · « **Reply #256 on:** November 30, 2015, 12:24:43 AM »

I will check it out.

Thanks, Ari.

Interesting... A little read about this movie says Tippi Hedren was tossed about by an elephant, interacted with the lions who ruled the house they were in, Melanie Griffith played the daughter and the film took 11 years to film. Have you seen it Ari?

Ari · « **Reply #259 on:** November 30, 2015, 03:53:08 AM »

no, never have, but I will*
Thanks for info. I quite like the simple design.
One of those posters I guess is BETTER not folded.

edit, just ordered it

50s · « **Reply #260 on:** November 30, 2015, 04:14:54 AM »

Yeah, I like the simple design too and is my aesthetic pic of the set. I also love the outback so this image appeals. The movie sounds worth seeing even just for the animals in it.

Ari · « **Reply #261 on:** November 30, 2015, 04:19:12 AM »

Did you watch THE DAY AFTER as a kid Steve? I remember it was a BIG thing on Aussie TV when we were lads.
Freaked me out.
It was a telemovie in the states but made it to the big screen here.

No, didn't see this one. I don't think I watched any movies before I turned 30... oh, actually yes, watched Storm Boy (for a school class trip) and Star Wars (mums new boyfriend maybe impressing her, we went as a family) .

Still reading about the film/poster of yours Roar...

About the lions in the film, one reviewer says:
"As it was, seventy cast and crew were injured, including cinematographer Jan de Bont who was partially scalped, Tippi Hedren had her neck bitten, Melanie Griffiths almost lost an eye, Jerry and John Marshall both required extensive stitches, while Noel Marshall was attacked so often it took years for him to recover from his injuries. When you watch Noel in action in this film it is not exactly hard to see why! In fact some of the injuries can be seen happening on screen. It is madness, pure and utter madness."

Check out this movie clip!

I watched a documentary on Roar not too long ago, very interesting stuff. Sounds like Melanie's step-father was nuts if you ask me.

50s · « **Reply #264 on:** November 30, 2015, 06:39:13 PM »

More reading...

- Hedren fractured a leg, had scalp wounds and also bitten in the neck by a lion and required 38 stitches.
- Griffith was mauled, receiving 50 stitches to her face; it was feared she would lose an eye, but she recovered and was not disfigured - had to get reconstructive facial surgery.
- Marshall was gored so often he was hospitalized with gangrene
- cinematographer Jan de Bont (who later went on to direct Speed and Twister) had to get 220 stitches after being scalped by a lion.

Source 1 and 2

Pardon my ignorance but it seems the three lead actors: Tipi Hedren, Noel Marshall and Melanie Griffith at the time of filming were mother, father and daughter in real life (the parents divorced later). Plus Noel's 2 sons also played the 2 sons in the film. The lions were theirs, they had over 100. They were hoping to use the movie to raise awareness about the cruel treatment of big cats in captivity.

Sorry if you're bored reading this, to me is interesting!

brude · « **Reply #265 on:** November 30, 2015, 08:02:30 PM »

Not boring at all, Steve.
I haven't seen this film but I do remember reading about the injuries.
Crazy shit to say the least...

Ari · « **Reply #266 on:** November 30, 2015, 08:26:06 PM »

yeah, well fingers crossed the movie was worth it.

Good reading, Steve.

I recall hearing or reading about this, too, a long while ago, so it's great for the memory refresher. And not boring at all.

Ari · « **Reply #269 on:** November 30, 2015, 09:17:16 PM »

who would have thought such a cheap poster would lead to so much discussion.

As a kid this movie scared the sh^t out of me. Especially the visible skeletons of the people when the bomb exploded. For many days i couln't sleep, as i was totally scared of the coming nuclear war. Btw Ari, i feel that we are totally on the same frequency.

Wait a minute... I bought that from you. Why didn't you say something? i'd have gladly picked something else. And, my stars, you showered me with a ton of free goodies on top of me taking that poster. Now i feel that much guiltier about your generosity. Ha!
