I'd be more worried about her wanting to wear the Warner Bros shade of lipstick

Nahhh .. vintage rouge lipstick is the way to go.

Now that is a splendid Bogart! I assume you have a matching 'Bacall' Rosa?

Stagecoach (1939); First French release 1P with art by Vandor.    

Vandor has quite the eye, having also done the art for the early 1930's French RR 1P for Son of the Sheik. His image of Valentino is spectacular and was one of the posters that was auctioned off several years ago, when a law firm in DC, that owned it, had to close its doors and liquidate its impressive poster collection.

I'll never understand the allure of that poster.
Even though giant, near-naked babes are right in my wheelhouse, that poster does nothing for me.
Its far from a Reynold Brown favorite (IMO) and the movie is absolutely terrible (despite a few unintentional moments of hilarity).
I don't get it.

Agree with you, Ted.

And copies appear for sale or auction ALL the time. So it isn't as tho it is that uber rare.

Must be the 50's appeal as well as the megaton atomic bombs she's carrying. And how tall is she really, on that poster? Several HUNDRED feet? As compared to those on the ground, running around her

Oh now we're suddenly going to get critical about 50s sci-fi artwork?!

It was discussed on apf before.. 

Nothing critical, just a re-obseration is all.

It's been too long ago, and I don't remember where I found this, but someone out there did an en detail analysis on this poster: Pretty much EVERYTHING is wrong with this one, starting with her limbs, pretty much every dimension is faulty. Still, it works surprisingly well. At least for me it still does.

I like the onesheet, I do not like the insert at all, and I think the one poster to have on this title is the threes-sheet.

She works like a charm, Helmut, no doubt about it. 

It was more just the question about her true height (one of many secrets she keeps, no doubt), as compared to the movie title.

So there is a good inch missing at the top (the top of the light saber is missing) and at least 2 inches missing at the bottom (Leia's dress should be completely in).  I guess most people don't care but shouldn't it be mentioned or are these subway posters so common it doesn't need to be mentioned anymore?

It says this quad measures a full 40x30 inches.  Full size for a quad, right?  (or you're more meaning that the art itself was cropped in order to produce the quad size poster?)

[eatbrie]

Well, it doesn't.  It's probably much closer to 30x37in.

[erik1925]

That's a HUGE oversight on EMP's part, to not have noticed that this quad is so severely trimmed. 

[eatbrie]

I agree.  I mean, the poster is not going to sell for much, but money should not matter.  Accuracy is what it's all about.

Agree 100%. I just emailed Matt over at EMP with your comparative image.

I guess we will see if they pull the auction or not.

[eatbrie]

They probably will, but to be honest, it shouldn't be our job to let them know.  3 or 4 inches is a pretty big difference.

I know.

I mentioned that to him, and asked how that huge difference got by them, too.

I like the overall look of the artwork, but Vader seems a bit weak, to me. The way he is drawn, he almost could be a "Mini-me" Vader.
