The whole cast looks like they demanded their heads on the poster.... Is this the direction of future poster design to come?

 :P

There are 2 identical ones there (with only a slight lighting difference) and two others the same apart from a different shirt colour.

YOU TOO?  Ahahahah...  Now that you mention it, I remember thinking the same thing when they were fighting like a married couple.  They seemed so alike.

A photo of the back and front covers of pressbook, showing the various size posters that were available for the 1932 WB movie, Doctor X which stars Fay Wray and Lionel Atwill. 

The OS has been up for auction before, but I didnt locate any of the other sizes coming up for sale.

I guess you are not a viewer of my Cool Item Of the Week on my site, because I had this pressbook a short while ago.

Here are much better images of the front and back covers, plus two interior pages: http://www.emovieposter.com/coolitem_archive.php?id=1124

You can see lots of other great pressbooks in the Cool Item of the Week Archive here: http://www.emovieposter.com/coolitem_archive.php



We (eMoviePoster.com) hold 2,500 to 4,000 auctions every four weeks.
We have auctioned more movie paper for more money (in real sales) than any auction in the world.
We have the longest continuously running auctions of any auction, with over 1,914,280 to date from over 3,192 consignors.

And now I do.  ;)

When we have "extra time" we chop up the posters out of the cool item pages and add them to the regular Auction History.

My dream is that someday I add EVERY poster from every pressbook that I have to the Auction History, so it would be that much more complete, but that would take a staggering amount of time.

Interesting. And as a side note. How good is Sim?
Was pleased recently reading about the apparent tarnishing of his name after his death seems to be a lot of rubbish.

I never heard about this, Ari. What was being said about him?

An AFI blog entry/article from February of this year, interviewing artist, Bill Gold. He turned 95 this past Jan, as well.

It's a great read:

A Belgian poster I have for The Black Sleep (1956). I came across an image of the German program, that used the actual photos that the Belgian poster art was based on. Basil Rathbone's positioning was changed a bit, along with an added hand holding a syringe. The imagery, tho, is spot on, imho.

The only one blatantly missing is Bela.  :-\

This place sounds like it was a poster collector's dream come true.  faint2.gif

The article is from April of 1976:

https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1755&dat=19760411&id=eHMjAAAAIBAJ&sjid=M2cEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6798,4811249&hl=en


Two 1997 articles discussing the $453,000 sale of a Mummy OS (among others):

https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1291&dat=19970302&id=mUlUAAAAIBAJ&sjid=g44DAAAAIBAJ&pg=6475,322382&hl=en

https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2199&dat=19970302&id=ZJgyAAAAIBAJ&sjid=5ucFAAAAIBAJ&pg=4616,385954&hl=en


And two last ones, from 1994 and 1998. The first talking about the find and sale of two Metropolis posters, to raise funds to restore an old theater. At the time of the article's writing, one of the posters had sold, in 1992, for $24,000.00

The second, about the high, winning bid ($62K) placed for a King Kong 3 sheet.

https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1129&dat=19941210&id=mq9RAAAAIBAJ&sjid=xm4DAAAAIBAJ&pg=5840,633733&hl=en

For the film 'Brazil', not a Blade Runner poster from Brazil :) It looks the right hand side of the UK quad.

Is the Blade Runner poster on another page perhaps?
