Gosh, as wonderfully menacing and unhinged as Muni's performance itself.

It will be curious to see how the HA copy does in July (even what its opening bid will be), in comparison to the one Posteritati has had listed on the bay for ever and ever, at $75,0000.00 / obo:

THANKS!

CHEERS!

Best to go with a nice, vintage frame, too.. made with wood brought back from Skull Island.

This one is striking me.

What is that Jeff?

erik1925 · « **Reply #1310 on:** July 11, 2015, 10:57:19 PM »

Chris, I'm not sure what size it is, but it's a UK poster, maybe for the first release? J. Arthur Rank was the distributor in the UK for its first run there. But it also has the UI logo in the lower left corner..... imdb says UI was a "releasing agent" for the film, too.

So.. i'm not sure, to be honest.

We need one of the UK experts to chime in.

CSM · « **Reply #1311 on:** July 11, 2015, 11:12:15 PM »

It kinda looks like a magazine ad to me?

erik1925 · « **Reply #1312 on:** July 11, 2015, 11:30:00 PM »

Chris, Here's am image link from the wrong side of the art website... a SUPER sized image. It certainly looks like it has fold lines as a poster would have, as opposed to a mag insert or page:

And other UK Drac posters here:

Oh my stars! I had NO (gasp!) idea you were into such things as "fancy" striking. How often do you strike your "fancy"? It's almost vulgar that you are openly discussing it here...and yet, I shockingly and shamelessly can't seem to look away. Oh my!

(Ignore me. It's been a long day. And nothing has even bothered to bump into or nudge my "fancy" all day long. But then, what else is new?...)

Seems no one there knows, either, Chris. The investigation continues.....

But i'm laying bets its a poster-size piece of one type or the other.

BTW, this is a 19x28 Double Crown, auctioned at Heritage, which must be where Wrong Side of the Art got the pic.

Oh, I did. Sadly, Heritage insists in not accepting organs as payment...

Missed this, I never check here very often, This image is from the double crown, but the sizes are slightly off, so it may well have been trimmed.

Thanks, Paul.

Here's a collection favorite I love to gaze at. Coming from the classic period of Thai movie posters, it's uniquely painted in portrait mode rather than landscape that was more common at the time. The image and colors jump off the page.

ATORAGON (a.k.a. ATRAGON) Thai Movie Poster

brude · « **Reply #1322 on:** August 01, 2015, 07:49:02 PM »

That Atragon is a beauty.

I've been ogling Italians lately and I think this might be my favorite Gillman poster.

Its from the 'Revenge' sequel and I can't find any artist's credit anywhere.
Anyone know who it is?

erik1925 · « **Reply #1323 on:** August 03, 2015, 01:56:23 AM »

Very cool poster, Ted. I like how the gillman is up in the white borders... it almost gives the illusion that he is coming right off the paper!

CSM · « **Reply #1324 on:** August 04, 2015, 11:20:13 AM »

I agree with Jeff - that's very nice and I've not seen it before
