That may very well be the best poster I'll never own.

Ted, the poster for Unholy Garden has one of the most beautiful female portraits i`ve seen (The winner being a Bette Davis drawn by Vargas auctioned by Bruce some time ago).
The background of Black Moon in contrast with the hand`s silhouettes is what I can only describe as stone litho kicking tremendous amount of other printing techniques`s ass , and Most Dangerous Game... I`ll take two of those!

It was not Bette Davis, but Marlene Dietrich. This is it:

Nice! I had never seen the text of the star or title going out of the frame in posters this old.

That daybill is spectacular, Ves.
So, you like the Von Stroheim, eh?
He was one of a kind and wore a monocle like nobody's business...

Great site, Matias.  Thanks for posting it.
I've been perusing it for over an hour.
Forgot how beautiful Ava Gardner was...

Here's an image I tracked down (not the greatest) for the US one sheet for LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT (1927). The Argentine version, which has been posted here more recently, is virtually identical. While the MGM name appears at the top of the Argentine version, Chaney's name receives top billing on the US paper.

Other than the red title, I think the Argentine might actually be the nicer of the two!

And all this time, I thought I had the only copy...
