Love that Sky Raiders!! So epic

Typhoon is a top class poster. I always like it. Both actors look so majestic.

Saw this one today. Must get one now.

1924 U.S. One Sheet

That must be one of Walt's earliest, no?

Yes, I believe it was the 8th short in the series.

That looks like a rare beauty, Mike. Hope you can find one.

Mirosae · « **Reply #758 on:** March 16, 2013, 01:41:09 AM »

I think I saw one a while ago, if I remember where I will PM you.

If that is a recent picture, there must be at least two surviving copies, because Heritage sold a LB copy in 2006 here.

Heritage sold another poster from that "lost series" in 2011:

A bunch of those Alice's survive (but I don't know if I have ever seen more than one example of any one of them).

I thought the coolest was one sold in London that was the personal copy of the real girl who played Alice, given to her by Walt!

Rain (1938rr US 3S):

Corsair, The (1937rr US 1S) (corrected):

What Price Hollywood (1932 US 1S):

Moulin Rouge (1934 US 1S):

Gulliver's Travels (1936 US 1S):

Bruce · « **Reply #762 on:** March 16, 2013, 01:17:25 PM »

Corsair is also a re-release. All United Artists movies of that time had a first UA release and then were sold to lesser companies for re-release. That's why the original UA posters are so rare (and why some people have tried to argue re-releases are first release and have even sometimes altered posters to make them look original.

seen this poster before and thought it was striking.
the pallet used is incredible until you get to her face!
i would need some pretty strong beer googles to fall for a brass that looked like her!
in fact i think i may have fought off advances from similar looking ladies in the past and probably better!
what can i say? may taste is EPIC! haha

pratschm · « **Reply #766 on:** March 17, 2013, 12:14:50 PM »

Striking poster, absolutely.
But is no one else extremely bothered by the index finger on her left hand???

Crawford was pretty attractive in those days IMHO.

im not saying that she wasnt .
im just saying that the interpretation of her in that poster makes her look like a hag. in these parts she could be described [in that poster] as a munter!

Yeah...she had her name changed from Joan Clawford and later got the digits re-sized.
