Just spotted this poor attempt of a WC, the most important part (Greer) looks remarkably like it has been ripped from the pencil of the artist who did my own lovely 1SH.

And this is what the 1SH looks like..either way I think I won.

Slightly thinner face and more hair, on that WC, looks like.

Beautiful image of Greer, tho, in any case!

More "borrowed" artwork... this time an image of Karloff used for the 1941 Columbia film, The Face Behind the Mask, which starred Peter Lorre.

The original image and design, however, was created and used by Universal, in their 1932 Exhibitor Book, announcing the upcoming (yet unmade) film called Cagliostro, which was was to star Karloff.

I was looking at the posters on Bob Brooks' site and I noticed this one...

The Avenging Fangs movie poster is from 1927, while the undated engraving is probably from the 19th century.

Good one, Ted.

Is that original 19th C engraving showing a scene from Little Red Riding Hood? She with the wolf?

Sheesh Ted, you're my call a friend if this category comes up on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.

I believe it is. I still haven't been able to locate any further info on it, but when I do, I'll post it here.

This might help

Ted, to start my little investigative search I saved the image to my pc and then dragged it onto this page:
http://images.google.com/imghp?hl=en
It is an image search engine, you give it an image and it finds similar ones for you.

Nice job, Steve.
So, it's not actually an engraving but a B&W of an 18th-century painting of Red Riding Hood.

Don't we have a thread for this in Genres? Anyway, I would have thought the Gorilla on the French version would have had a bigger smile.

Indeed we do. And some good stuff there, too.

they have some Turkish Flash Gordon posters circa 1960s that steal the art from these comics of 1951-52

http://www.comics.org/series/13109/covers/

http://www.comics.org/series/10986/covers/

http://www.comics.org/series/15406/covers/

of course, some of these comics are rip-offs of 1930s pulp covers, but at least in one case (Norman Saunders) he's stealing his own stuff

Poule et frites (1987)

Certainly not the burning of Atlanta in the background here; looks more like a trailer or trailer park.

Another case of the same studio "borrowing" previously used artwork..

For the Swedish poster for the 1966RR of The Maltese Falcon, UA used the same art/image of Bogart that had been used on the US and Argentinean OS for their 1954 movie, The Barefoot Contessa:

erik1925 · « **Reply #146 on:** May 08, 2014, 01:22:55 PM »

1961 US OS with original Reynold Brown art, for Konga and the 1965RR Spanish OS for King Kong, with the same (but closely redrawn) art. They replaced Big Ben & St Paul's Cathedral with generic skyscrapers but left the double decker bus, the plane and some of the same fleeing people.

I wouldn't consider this a 'swipe.'
Its an homage, a tribute to an iconic design.
Like Fletch Lives...

erik1925 · « **Reply #148 on:** May 08, 2014, 07:07:37 PM »

I see your point, Ted. Fletch for sure, was done as a spoof homage...

The other was done in that same style, too, to evoke the same sense.
