ah, got it.  I wonder what the difference between the two indicates though.

Are the pics that you are showing from two different sized posters from the same movie?

Is one from a 1P and the other from the smaller (24x33) size, by chance?

I will let you know what the others say, and if they agree with you I will change how I word this.

So Bruce, what did your "great" French experts say about this?  I am dying to hear.

so the censure text indicates a re-issue?



versus



top would be original, bottom reissue?

The one at the bottom is for sure the 1st printing.  I would assume that the one at the top is a re-release from the mid-60s, probably 1964 since Cinémato did not print afterward.  Since this poster was not designed by any of the well-known artists of the early 60s, it is difficult to tell.  However, if you put both posters next to each other, you should see an obvious difference in printing quality.

awesome, thanks for the info.  I'm happy because the bottom one's in better condition.  I'll probably pull them both back out again this weekend and look for any other differences side to side

Took them both out & gave them a look over, they are identical except for the noted difference in printed text & condition





I guess I'll just buy every copy I see & put them under a glass floor

Note: I revisited this thread and made some changes on the first page based on personal findings.  I will keep updating it.

Haha, thought I'd share what I did with my extra.

So I paid $135 for the lesser condition re-release and $68 for the original. 

Didn't need 2 copies, so I put the re-release up on eBay for $60 hoping it'd sell sooner than later.  Took 12 pics of it, front & back & close-ups of the condition in all it's flawed glory.

Described it as:

"From a 1963/1964 re-release (Cape Fear originally came out in 1962), as Cinemato (8th picture) did not print after 1964.

Poster has a reasonable amount of wear, I've tried to convey it's condition with the pictures but if you want any additional photos let me know."

and of course the guy who sold it to me for $135 buys it lol.  Auction ends Sunday, I ship Monday, delivered Wednesday ("Great Poster! Fast Shipping! A+").  And it's re-listed at $165 with his original description.  At least now he's included a photo of the back of the poster.

The information in this thread is amazing! I find it hard to imagine that there isn't a French poster collector out there who wouldn't find this essential knowledge!

Simply fantastic work - the passion for the hobby really shines!

I just wish such a wealth of info existed for daybills  :'(

Oh I am sure it does but all the collectors on here don't want to tell  ;) They figure the less people know about them the better the chance they have of getting what they have been after lol.

Then I propose the proud daybill collectors form a club that excludes all who deride the beauty of the 13 x 30 format so we can at least swap what we know with each other!

Then again, that may only serve to increase the competition...

What size is it?

With no credits of any kind, studio info or even an actor's name, and with the film logo on it twice, it almost looks like a side by side, double ad of some kind?

About same sz as a US 1sh , perhaps slightly bigger......

Did they make billboards for Loren's "Millionairess" , I think I bought what appears to be part of the poster......seems incomplete somehow.

Thierry,

Can you put a sizing guide on your initial post?
By that I mean "One Panel" instead of "Thierry hates "French Grande"" etc.
I think this would be very useful. Thank you in advance.

One thing leads to another.
While reading the above link, I got stuck on Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast.

It led to this interesting piece about a 2013 Cocteau exhibit.

Hi,

French posters

8 panels 10x13 feet approx (kind of billboard size)
4 panels 7x10 feet approx
2 panels 3,5x10 feet or 5x7 feet (rarest)
1 panel 47x63 inches (Standard french size for large posters)
Medium size 24x32 inches (not printed anymore, since 2000)
Small standard french poster 16x24 inches

If you look for standard large posters for instance, just write "47x63 movie poster" on ebay or elsewhere. I hope I answered your question
