Having fun looking through Fleabay tonight and came across this one. It is listed as an original Jaws one sheet in pretty rough shape but looking at it there is no NSS paragraph at the bottom. I know there was a reprint that looks like this that has all the regular Jaws border text in a different alignment than the originals and no paragraph. So my question, a real printing variation I have never seen before, it has been trimmed and the seller did not mention it and said it is 27x41 or a fake aged to look real? Not bashing the seller at all they may or may not know, just want the opinions of those here better versed in Jaws 1 sheets than me.

Jaws one sheet

[erik1925]

The film was released in 1949 (The Barkleys of Broadway), with Rogers and Astaire.

Question is.. when was this daybill produced? Is it a later RR? The description doesnt say.

Simple graphics at their finest.

Jaws one sheet

it could a "Studio" 1sh ergo no NSS
being previously folded, that would be my guess

I did think about that as well but don't think I have ever seen or heard of one for the title. Did they actually make and release a studio one sheet for Jaws?

Yep the "G" is the key and points to it being much later than 1949

Inflation is a bitch.  Better get them before they jump to a cool mil!

[Charlie]

You could probably remake the entire film for that much...

[erik1925]

According to imdb, Freaks cost an estimated $310,607 (in 1931 dollars) and was shot from November 9 - December 16, 1931.

Adjusting for inflation, that would be $4,860,427 today, which is still considered a lower budget film.

How many films nowadays are shot in a month's time!?

How many films nowadays are shot in a month's time!?

in the USA or in Bollywood

in the USA or in Bollywood

I meant Hollywood films not the sordid Las Vegas pornos Rich - we know those are shot in a day (if the guys' concentrate really hard that is)

Chris, i wouldnt be surprised if a good number of smaller budget, indie films were shot in this kind of time frame (+ or -). The don't have the bucks or the luxury for an extended shoot schedule, actors may only be available for very short periods of time, etc.

They go in, get the shot, do a couple takes, and move on.

you didn't address Bollywood (India) where they make the most movies in the world today Chris (Las Vegas is not Bollywood)
also, while we still term them "Hollywood movies" realistically, about half of all movies made in the USA are not made in Hollywood (Vegas, New Orleans, Texas and even Wisconsin are more common production locales)

the likelihood that many films are made by the studios in under a month as had been the factory format of the 1920s-40s is fairly low. However Indie movies are almost always made in a short period or the equivalent of "a month of Sundays". Hollywood backed films have so much money riding on them now because few have small millions budgets and most producers don't get involved in low-priced movies anymore.. which does suck
