August 2021
« on: August 03, 2021, 12:00:29 AM »
Technically speaking these were acquired last month but since I just received them in the mail today, I guess they'll count for August. 

I've wanted a clean folded copy of the Italian 2F for Bava's first film Black Sunday for quite a while, so I'm glad to finally get it.  Definitely one of my favorite movies of his, with an iconic image on the poster. 

The quad for City of the Living Dead completes my Fulci trilogy, love seeing them all together. 

While I never cared for the movie itself, most of the posters for Barbarella are pretty groovy, and this hard-to-find UK quad is especially fun, so I jumped on it when I came across it.

Great selection Antoine. I love the Fulci posters too - I thought the Zombie Creeping Flesh quad was part of the "set" until learning from filmonpaper.com it was an artist rip-off.

Very cool you got the Batman real signatures in person, Tang!  What fun posters and variety you put up on many categories today.  I'm enjoying seeing your collecting rewards!  Okie

1923 - Look your best
« Reply #8 on: August 13, 2021, 12:49:20 PM »
Been a quiet month for me but picked up this one recently.

I believe it to be a 1923 original one sheet for the silent movie by Goldwyn (pre-dates the formation of MGM - founded 1924) - 'Look your best'.

I have seen a lobby card with the image - 'And dear God please keep us thin' picture, which is also on this poster.
There are other lobby cards on emovieposter history and a glass slide but nothing else.
The actual film itself has not survived, like so many of the older silent movies, so these images are certainly worth preserving.

There is some water damage on the folds but overall it is in good condition, considering it is about 100 years old.





Regards

Ian

Nice one there, Ealing.  Interesting design, how the glamorous dress flows into the montage of nice photos.

Wow, Starling! "I picked this up..."  That sounds pretty laid back for something so incredibly rare, beautiful and jumbo! A very nice choice.  I hope you were also jumping up and down with excitement a bit in mid and post "pick up".  Go Moroccan!!!

And, Ealing, pulling a very early Colleen Moore one sheet out of your hat (Is there a rest to the story on this find????).  What nice condition it looks to be in as well even with a bit of water.

Haha, that definitely wasn't the right wording...Super excited to own this! It was a poster I saw in an auction catalog from 30 years ago, and I'm a little shocked I own it now. Wonder if it is the only one? Thanks for the kind words!

On to the next paper :)

Knockin' back another Boris, Schan!  What are the three you have left to find or should that remain a mystery until found?! Now, Christie Brinkley is quite lovely, though Beverly D'Angelo should have got an equal or better pose by Boris in my opinion.  Beverly was so good in those Vacation movies and is simply stunning.  Good luck in the hunt, Okie

Well, I saved the easy ones for last, but I actually realized there is a 4th one I do not have.  So, Barbarella R77, Q, and the other slightly more difficult is the one I bought that showed up badly damaged, Deathstalker III.  That 4th one will remain a mystery.  I may be missing 1 or 2 of those ESB promotional posters as well, but I need to check.

Being a completist is the best way to collect, IMO.

 happy1  Being a Boris Vallejo completist is difficult because of the extreme obscurity of some of the films he did art for.  I'd venture to say that I am as close now as anyone has ever been!

That's most of the fun, though.  Then something pops up that you've never seen, let alone heard of before.  It has happened to me so many times before, especially with Bardot.  I think like I'm close to having it all and then... Bang!  A new piece shows up.  That's when it becomes costly, bc there is no way you won't get it and price cannot be a factor.  I don't know much about Valero, but from my experience, whenever you think you're done, something else will show up.

I just picked up these 3 folded French posters: Beauty and the Beast style A (1946), Bowery at Midnight (1947) and Robinson Crusoe on Mars (1964).

I already have the style B for Beauty and the Beast, so now all I need is the double panel for that title.

I had never seen any French poster for Bowery at Midnight until I came across this one, so this was an exciting discovery.

I also own the US one sheet for Robinson Crusoe on Mars (it is quite easy to find), but the French poster is unusually rare.

I agree with you Starling, that Beauty and the Beast is one of my favourites (as is the 2-panel). Love that Robinson Crusoe on Mars too, hadn't seen it before. Congrats Antoine.

Schan - I think you should update this thread with all your Boris goodies so they can be seen in one place! He's a superb artist: http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,657.msg209511.html#msg209511

Thank you Starling and Tob for your effusive comments!  I also love that Beauty & the Beast poster, especially since this was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid (I can't wait for my son to be old enough to watch films so that I can show it to him).
