Wow, thanks for that link. Need to read it a couple more times...this head cold is making it harder to wrap my head around, even explained as well as it is.

Found this bit at the end interesting:

Bonus: The Eddie Murphy Rule

One interesting kicker to the story: Trading commodities on inside information obtained from the government wasn't actually illegal when the movie came out, but it's illegal now. It was banned in the 2010 finance-overhaul law, under a special provision often referred to as the Eddie Murphy Rule.

As some of you may recall, I missed out on some larger Russian posters for this Soviet-Cuban film a while back -- well that just deepened my obsession!  I recently managed to track down my first bit of Russian paper for the film.  Anything on this film -- which had limited distribution, was a commercial failure and which was quickly pulled from theaters -- is extremely scarce. 

Anyway, I would appreciate it if any collectors of Russian posters could help me determine more about this size poster.  It's roughly 8x10" and it's printed on glossy photographic paper.  I would say it's a still, but the seller (who has this size poster for tons of films) said they are not part of a set.  Given that it has cast and director info printed right on the card I'm thinking it might have been used more like a window card?  Maybe to be displayed in a theater or in the vicinity of one?  Any ideas? 

Happy to have finally tracked something down regardless!

Great win, Matt.


Russian stuff seems to be darn difficult to acquire.  Something like that must be a true unicorn.  Good luck finding more info.

Ultra-rare german poster for TARZAN AND THE HUNTRESS, from first release 1950. Will be coming to the website with my next update in October. You won't see this again anytime soon.

This has been spotted a time or two (Bruce sold one in 2011 and there is a copy on an ancient dealer website for wayyyy more than I paid), but anytime you find a poster from one of T's favorite directors that he doesn't already have, then it calls for some special attention...

Trading Places International One Sheet...



The FilmOnPaper website lists a different image that I and T, according an old thread on here, believe is a UK onsheet (the image is the same as the quad).  This image also appears on the German poster.  I think that it is easily the best image for the film...


(Yes, this is an actual Archie Leach poster sighting...)

I am a little late to the party here, but I am happy I found a copy of this one!
