Many 30x40 size posters were issued with cut and pasted images attached to them prior to those posters being sent out?
I'd never read or heard this before.
It seems to make little sense that a poster would be printed with "image A," for example, as designed, only to then have some piece cut from another poster & glued over part of the original image. Why not just print the poster with the preferred image? Plus, poster designs had to be signed off on prior to being printed, by the studio. So was permission given to then alter those approved images with some piece just glued on later?
And who did all the extra work (the cutting and pasting?) Was it the printer? NSS employees?
Any idea?
If nothing else, I could see a poster being altered or added to by a theater employee, once it was in their possession.
Interesting and curious info, for sure.
