Perhaps this forum could use a general "catch-all" thread for discussion of posters that "strike your fancy" for whatever reason - rarity, coolness, weirdness, whatev - and don't really fit in a more specific category. Doesn't matter if you own it or not. Tell us a story about the poster if you know it. Hopefully it will take off.

Mel, completely agree about the Venetian Affair - has always caught my eye but I don't own a copy.
How about these (all of which I don't have but would love to one day)?
There are definitely more that I come across, and many for "lesser films" but with fantastic designs!

For some reason that Girl on a Motorcycle Quad as always escaped me over the years.
That City that never Sleeps is Excellent Chris. Is The Web a trade ad, as it looks like one?

Paul, it is my understanding it is actually a UK Quad although I am sure a trade ad could have the exact same artwork...

Not even sure if this is legit, but it would be amazing if it is! Part of a promotional pressbook for upcoming releases from Universal maybe?

It was a trade ad from when universal announced they were going to film Frankenstein. Before James Whale came on board.
-
And Boris Karloff was the Monster. That's what interests me the most about this ad. Thanks for the info, Paul
-
Yeah, some of those early previews that the studios used to put out were pretty cool as they usually had films announced with different stars or pictures that weren't made at all like:

took me a bit to locate my copy, but here is the book from which that ad comes and some of the great ads in it. Most of the ads are for films that were never produced. size is a little less than 11x15

I used the "Remove Color Cast" in Photoshop Elements, which changes the entire color scheme. You identify the areas that should be white or black and the color of the entire image is adjusted.

I'm looking through Heritage's past auctions in reverse price order and coming across these really cool rare (and expensive) posters. Here is a six sheet for "World Without End":
Alberto Vargas, Esquire and Playboy illustrator, designed the brief outfits worn by the women of the future in this revision of H.G. Wells's The Time Machine. To capitalize on the renown of Vargas, Allied Artists created a special style B six sheet for the advertising campaign which utilized his famous pin-up art.... For years, no copies of this B style ever turned up, and many collectors assumed that it had never been produced - even though it had been shown in the original pressbook....

Godzilla Style B - never seen this style before:

Looking through Heritage's past sales (and eMovie's to a certain extent) is a good way to make yourself cry...

In a similar vein to the fantastic Varga 6-sheet above, I someday hope to pick up one of these one sheets by the very talented George Petty...

Eyes Without A Face - very striking French 1P. The movie is quite disturbing, apparently. It "concerns a troubled physician (Pierre Brasseur) who is desperately trying to repair the ruined countenance of his beloved daughter (the amazing Alida Valli) who was wounded in a car crash. He resorts to kidnapping and murder, grafting the skin of other young women onto his daughters face, but the experiments continually fail."
Sold for $191 tonight on Heritage (http://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=511014&Lot_No=54141&Lot_Id_No=25001).

Pretty cool half sheet for Not Of This Earth - this and the similar one sheet don't pop up for auction often:
Agreed... I actually own that HS. I like the layout better on this HS than on the 1-sheet... more of the screaming face and the monster isn't so cramped.

I think all three are great examples of contemporary poster design, weirdly two are very skull heavy.
Awsomeness... love it!

GREAT film, and both sizes of the French posters are AWSOME, I have the Grande, used to also have the petite. Certainly in my personal top horror posters OF ALL TIME.
I often show the Grande to friends who don't "get" why I collect posters, that ALWAYS sways them, its an eye opener. (and the SMELL! - man I love those Frenchies - yes you too T).

That's funny because the grande of LES YEUX SANS VISAGE is actually what got me into collecting movie posters in the first place.
Four years back I was looking for something to hang on the walls of my new flat and by accident stumbled over a picture of this on eBay. I ended up buying both the grande and the petite from a French dealer and then I was hooked.
-
I first saw Franju's LES YEUX SANS VISAGE many, many years ago as the American-dubbed HORROR CHAMBER OF DR. FAUSTUS.
It totally changed my attitude about foreign films and the nature of horror.
I prefer the smaller poster, which features Claude Brasseur as the evil doctor, using chloroform to subdue his next victim. The expression on his face reflects a nonchalance that is quite disturbing.
Sam at Empire Posters recently sold one of these that I regrettably missed...

That's a perfect horror movie poster if I ever saw one, Jeff. It promises sheer terror. If I had been a kid at that time and seen that poster, I am pretty sure those eyes and claws would have given me bad dreams.
Instead I got bad dreams from the poster for Lucio Fulci's 'City of the Living Dead'. Those heads protruding from the earth really spoke to my imagination, even though it would be years before I was actually old enough to watch the film. :)
-
There's just something in the way the eyes are drawn (as well as the coloring) that looks VERY scary and creepy...

But change it so everyone can be involved (can't let Paul have all the credit lol) - something like this:
One member names a movie title; another member must post an image of it within 24 hours ...
What you think???

I love how no matter what the thread, Paul throws out the random yet relevant quad for the topic at hand.

Looks awesome, Paul, but the eyes on the quad dont quite have that "fear factor," compared to the US material, IMO. The red/yellow combination has much to do with it, as well.

Ive never seen this French Frankenstein poster before. I found some background information on the artist, too:
Jacques Faria (1898-1956) was the French-born son of another famous artist, Brazil’s Candido Aragonez de Faria (1849-1911). Both men had prolific careers as illustrators of circus, travel, music hall and film posters. Candido de Faria is, in fact, recognized as one of the pioneer film poster artists, working as early as 1902 on Ferdinand Zecca’s "Alcohol and Its Victims." Both father and son's art is highly collectible today.
Of special note here is the prominent writing credit given Robert Florey and Garrett Fort (misspelled on the poster). Florey was originally commissioned to write and direct the film, contributing elements such as the brain swap and the windmill finale, only to be shunted aside and deprived of his screenplay credit when James Whale stepped up and took over. Florey protested but it was, arguably, too late to fix the American release print. Universal restored Florey’s deserved credit on foreign releases.

Jeff, do you know whether that Werewolf (Varulven) Swedish or Danish?
I ask because I know of almost no Danish posters from the original Universal horror films. I have seen pictures of a few Swedish, but I believe only one or two Danish - and these were from the 1940's titles.
I have a suspicion that a lot of the Universal horror films were forbidden in Denmark. I know for a fact that Frankenstein was, and that even as late as in the beginning of the 1960's it was denied a re-classification. Of course, only a few years later the adult censorship was abolished and the film was shown on national TV. :)

I have bid quite a few times on this poster, but never won it... If anyone has one for sale drop me a line. :)

Wow, those Goon and Crawler posters are Awesome. I contacted Boris Vallejo a couple months ago about the Rubber poster, he said that he did not see the finished poster but had prints available. I asked him the price and he never reply, I am sure he just didn't get the e-mail. Anyway, I just contacted him again and am waiting for a reply.

Boris is a great guy and quite prolific. I emailed him regarding whether AMAZONS was ever printed as a poster and he responded that he paints so much that he couldn't remember whether it ever made it to print.
I have an 11x14 color trade mag ad of this art somewhere. It was titled Amazons. Here is the key art.

Posted on another forum by a dealer but very fantastic indeed - The Thing From Another World - Italian (size?):
(http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/Forty_Candles/ThingFromAnotherWorld.png)
-
That is so cool.
Great image for a great movie.
-
Yes, that is an Italian 4-foglio... Kirby said it was backed a while ago before Japanese paper (between the linen and the poster) was available in a single sheet that large. They used two overlapping pieces, just like the poster, but apparently it shrunk differently in that spot. It sounded like if it had been flat it wouldn't have been noticeable, but instead it was stored rolled which is the reason for the center wave. I've been dying to get some nice original paper for this film as the 1-sheet is kind of boring, but I'm not sure I'm interested in this particular copy. Great image though!

Sabrina (1954 Italy 2p) bed1
It's in the 2012 Heritage calendar. Sold for the small price of $18,400 in 2005, so start saving now for its future reappearance.
It is ludicrously superior to every other poster for this film. (http://www.movieposterdb.com/movie/0047437/Sabrina.html)

Nine fantastic posters I had not seen before. From Ron Borst's 1992 book "Graven Images" (which you can buy at Amazon) (http://www.amazon.com/Graven-Images-Fantasy-Science-Fiction-Collection/dp/0802114849/). Probably only a handful of copies of most of the pre-1940 posters featured in the book still exist.

F.M.S....!!! I'll quote this as it needs posting more than once, In my world this is the ultimate, What a fantastic poster, frame, photo, everything....
Where did you get that pic from Steve? And is there any more, different angle's, other posters, etc....
-
Wow, that's what mine will look like framed?
I'd best get it out of the closet...
It is the ULTIMATE poster and, I'll bet that if it ever comes to auction it will set a new record.
It just don't get no better than a FRANKY six-sheet.
(http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu12/brude2000/GIFS/KarloffFrankensteinAni.gif)
-
I've seen the Franky 6 sheet framed but never up on the wall. I hope it's screwed in with titanium bolts!
In the Hollywood Treasure where it's shown off and there's an obviously fake purchase attempt it's just resting against the wall.
Amazing...

Simply and utterly fantastic. sm1
I wonder what this would sell for, in the right auction, if it ever was made available? I noticed how the person who uploaded the picture to his flickr account said it could be worth millions. I think it could break the $Mil mark, without a problem.

In the Hollywood Treasure episode featuring the poster I *think* they discuss something like $2 million...haven't watched it in a while though
-
Chris, I saw that episode, too. That number sounds right. It would be amazing if it broke $2 mil, that's for sure.
I guess that would mean placing it in an auction with a reserve, to at least insure that minimum amount that would be accepted.
I think about the story of this being found in a suitcase and have to wonder (value aside) what that would have been like to unfold each section, lay them out, and see this, in full, for the first time, in all those years.
-

Well very few people seem to really know the true story. The legitimacy of the suitcase story has been called into question many times.
Still, however it was found and acquired (nefariously or otherwise) it would still be an awesome experience no doubt!
I still think it's a lot of hyperbole to talk about its value though - it's only sold once and presumably at far, far less than even $1 million...
-
I figured that the "found in the liner of a suitcase" story might be a bit embellished but it still makes for a good tale. Id love to know the real story, tho, as it would make for an interesting provenance.
It is similar to Todd's BRIDE OF FRANK teaser that did not sell short while back at Heritage.
One can place a value on pieces like these, but, will they sell for that price (or not) always remains to be seen.

My Man Godfrey (1936) - not sure what size this is - title card, half sheet?

(http://www.posternirvana.com/0DNE/0-APF/Indiscreet%20%281931%20US%203S%29.jpeg)
A clarification and correction. The above is not a 1931 3S but a later re-release. Art Cinema Associates, Inc handled the re-release of INDISCREET in 1937, (their company name is at the bottom of the poster); United Artists distributed this film, initially, in 1931. In addition, Joseph Schenk's name would be on any 1931 first release paper, as it was his production company that made the film for UA.
Here is a title lobby card from the 1931 release that shows both UA and Schenk's ("Joseph M Schenck Presents") names on it:
(http://images.ha.com/lf?source=url%5bfile%3aimages%2finetpub%2fnewnames%2f300%2f7%2f1%2f1%2f3%2f7113937.jpg%5d%2ccontinueonerror%5btrue%5d&scale=size%5b450x2000%5d%2coptions%5blimit%5d&source=url%5bfile%3aimages%2finetpub%2fwebuse%2fno_image_available.gif%5d%2cif%5b%28%27global.source.error%27%29%5d&sink=preservemd%5btrue%5d)
1931 posters for this title must be quite scarce. Heritage has only sold the R1937 OS as has Bruce. Doing a quick search, I could find no image of any 1931 poster material (aside from a number of 1931 lobbies that HA has sold and some sheet music).

Matt, in doing some online "sherlocking," I found one reference that the above GODFREY piece is a possible title lobby card. More digging to ensue and to verify. (The line at the top about it being the first 5 star triumph of the movie season makes me wonder, though). ;)

Well if it's cropped somewhat maybe only the photo makes it *appear* a landscape poster :)

landscape is the new portrait.

Very true. I see what you mean. The jpeg is cropped so that the text at the bottom ("A Universal Picture") has been partially removed. Maybe there was more below this area? And even the top and sides of any available image are also cropped, so we dont know what the very edges/borders look like.
The mystery continues. 8)

OS for THE STORY OF TEMPLE DRAKE (1933). This was a pre-Hays Code film, but one of many that "helped" that code come into being. The movie, even tho toned down from the original William Faulkner novel, was still considered scandalous at the time.

I liked this description of collectors:
"Collectors are a strange lot. The reason they spend so many precious hours seeking out and find comfort in the artistry of people who are long dead cannot be entirely explained by logic, but in that respect collecting film posters is no different from becoming lost in the works of Charles Dickens, or devoting oneself to studying Victorian paintings or restoring an old house."

Sometimes incorrectly attributed to James Montgomery Flagg, who did a special one-sheet for this movie.
-
Here is the special one sheet, which Bonhams is auctioning this month by chance (http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/20007/lot/1056/):
(http://www.posternirvana.com/0DNE/0-APF2/Lost%20Horizon.jpg)
Who drew the Style C?
-
Looks to me like it is the same piece of art?
-
I never saw that before, Mel, and whatever it is, it shows Flagg DID draw the regular style I said he didn't.
The one-sheet I was referring to has a different signed image (on the actual poster).
As the art you reproduced shows, they cropped his signature from the one-sheet (maybe because it is fairly crappy Flagg art).
I hope you can find out more about what that is!
-
This is another style (not sure which style but I hear somebody has a bazillion pressbooks and could probably find the answer....)

Well, there are surely more than two 1-sheets left, but I'm not complaining as I only paid $200 for it. ;D I came in a lot of other posters and after I sell those it should bring the cost down to around $75. The only flaws are a single pinhole in each corner and a Dutch censor stamp.

Ari, im trying to figure it out too. ;) To me, it looks like a hand created, rough mock up, as the credits, aside from Dreyer's name, at the bottom, are just scribble lines. The title and art look hand done, rather than printed, too, imo.
Gloria Film was the theatrical distributor in Denmark, however.
Here is a larger image of the poster and a scene grab that the drawn art portion is based on :

You would think the Snow White 1S Style B is the greatest animation poster:

Yeah unfortunately the 1 sheet is very bland but you have to remember it was Disney's first feature length film...

Ted..
this is beautiful, too! (for us Chaney fans.. ;) )
I see the art is by Martinati, but is this more an art print or an actual movie poster? It reminds me of a silkscreen, too.
The lack of any production credits has me curious.
Whatever it is.. me wants one..lol !!
-
Beats the snot out of me. hitself
I couldn't find any examples of this design with credits.
But then again, I didn't look too hard.

I remember first seeing a print of this other 6 sheet, done for PHANTOM, when I was in college (which I bought). What caught my eye was the intense blue color, and red highlights and the fact that the Phantom character, hugging the opera house, looks nothing like Chaney's interpretation (due to contractual stipulations).

From Heritage's description:
Universal went all out in the creation of publicity material to advertise their production. No fewer than eight different one sheet posters were created for the film, yet only two of those depict the Phantom. Two of the eight one sheets were simple white titles against a black background. Two more posters featured the film's two romantic leads, (Raoul) Norman Kerry and (Christine) Mary Philbin. Another two tried to capture a hint of the film's mystery and menace: the first by showing a shadowy violinist terrorizing the film's Opera cast, and the second by showing a masked patron in a box seat while the theatre stage burns below him. It has been argued that this poster does depict the Phantom. However, since the Phantom never appears like this in the movie, the argument is irrelevant. The final two one sheets depict Lon Chaney as Erik the Phantom. One shows him atop the Paris Opera House after the Bal Masque sequence. The Phantom's red cape swirls around him and he covers his face as he listens to Christine and Raoul's plans to escape his control. Although this poster is quite spectacular, it is clearly an artist's interpretation of Chaney as the Phantom since it neither looks like Chaney, nor features him wearing the skull mask as he did in this scene from the film. In the creation of eight posters for this legendary classic of horror, Universal made only a single one sheet that accurately captured Lon Chaney as his greatest creation, Erik - The Phantom of the Opera. As Raoul ( Kerry) searches for the kidnapped Christine (Philbin), the Phantom swims beneath the waters of the catacombs awaiting his chance to eliminate his rival for Christine's affections. The poster shows Chaney unmasked and in make-up and, even though his face is slightly obscured by the river's currents, there is no doubt that this is Chaney as the Phantom! Many collectors feel that this is one of the most spectacular posters created for any of the classic Universal Horror films.
I've found four of the one sheets mentioned above - can't find the "romantic leads" posters. Three were sold by Bruce in the 1990s, one was sold by Heritage:

I wish there was a good Phantom poster that worked a little harder to depict the horror aspect a little more. The more I see these kinds of posters the more I think about the Ansin piece and how it was sort of perfect (IMO)
-
Yep, Ansin's is a masterpiece but I would not say it is superior to the originals:
(http://www.posternirvana.com/0DNE/0-APF3/Phantom%20%28Ansin%29.jpeg)
-
Im sure I havent seen all fo the Phantom movie posters but of the ones Ive seen so far .. I think Ansin's is the best ..
<< ISO Ansin's Phantom of the Opera print!!!! :)
-
Fallen,
Contractually, Chaney's face as the Phantom was prohibited to be shown in publicity materials, so this is why, too, one can come across lobby cards that actually have Chaney's face masked out. A good idea, in order to keep the mystery and anticipation of his appearance heightened until moviegoers actually saw the film.
The particular OS, showing Chaney underwater, as he approaches the boat, with his hollowed breathing reed, therefore, in many ways, stands above the others, because it depicts Chaney, albeit in profile, and somewhat obscured, as he did look in the movie. Mary Philbin looks beautiful on this particular OS, as well. It is easy to understand why this style OS sold for $155,350 in HA's November 2008 auction. (This is the only style of the OS they have offered, as well).
The other artist's interpretations are wonderful, too, of course. Creative, artistic, and beautifully executed stone designs in their own right, as well.

Beat me to it, Jeff.
I remember seeing a pic of Forrest J. Ackerman holding up one of the PHANTOM one sheets from his home museum. It appeared in an issue of FAMOUS MONSTERS. I also remember him saying that he had 6 different one sheets (maybe the two character posters were included). If anyone had them, FJA would be the guy.
Here's something I found in the spirit of Halloween.

This image from the press book, for the 6 sheet from BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN. Has one of these ever surfaced? I could not find anything that indicated one ever had.
I would LOVE to see what this looked like in color. bed1

I'd love to know (or learn) why so much of the early Uni horror material is SO scarce (to non-existent). Posters from other, early 1930s films from Fox, Universal or Paramount can appear with some regularity from time to time, but it seems that the early Uni classic horror items have simply vanished. Quantities were printed, like for any other film, and on hand for theaters to order. from the Universal Exchange.
Where did it all go? :'(

Kirk Hammett, who owns this poster, says in his book, that this is his favorite poster that he owns. That is saying something, considering the amazing Universal paper he has. 8)

Hey Everyone,
I work at USC and just wanted to share some of the amazing posters we have in the Lobby of the Cinematic Arts building. I believe that Lucas donated most of these very rare posters, some that I have not seen anywhere else! Basically, what I am telling you all is that I have a crowbar, I just need someone else to help me carry them out to a truck. ;D
Sorry in advance for the shitty camera phone photos...

I'd love to have one of these, but at 94x126", I haven't the foggiest idea of where I would put it. I have about 3 walls in my house where it could go. 1 is spoken for poster wise already, and the other 2 are not wife approved areas (for that one anyway). Oh well, I remember Tom Pennock telling the story of getting his Thunderball framed, and I dont think I want to spend $3k getting it done.

In the cinemas, Samsara was as good as digital 4k projection gets. The film gets a little over obvious at times, but is still well worth viewing. It will be interesting to see how it compares to the BD of Baraka, which is a stunning an image as I've seen in a home setting.

Why are their scarves blowing in different directions and why does the horse have 3 legs and a stump and why is he holding reigns not attached to the horse?

So many questions unanswered, the artist was obviously intending to create feaverish discourse.

Why are Oompa Loompas orange?
Because they are not blue, red, green, purple, violet, pink, black, blue, yellow, white, peach, brown, grey, gold, silver, bronze or turquoise.

did you buy from him? i never did. I dunno, i just don't trust him. I know it sounds a bit weird and as I said above maybe I'm being unfair. There is something about his website and his posters that makes me feel uncomfortable. Hi posters are too rare, which might be something stupid to say but then some of the prices, well sometimes they are a bit odd too... and I just keep wondering if they are real. That said, I regret now what i wrote earlier, as I said, maybe I am being unfair. Maybe he is a decent, honest dealer. I just cannot buy from him. And i do buy from the internet, though I much, much rather buy to a dealer, those selling in the street, on a stand that knows what he is selling (and cares). Plenty of those in London..

Hi Mir,
Yes, I bought from him, as have others here on the board. His collection (regardless of his prices) is amazing, and yes, they are real and rare gems, that's for sure. True, his prices are very high, but then, so are the prices of other dealers, like Dominique Besson, who also has an amazing collection of many rare and beautiful posters that are offered for sale.
I spoke to benito prior to buying and he was polite, well informed and knowledgeable. He explained that he has been on the poster search and hunt for years, traveling thru Europe, looking for, and adding to his personal collection as well as those he offers for sale.
Does benito have sky high prices- yes, no doubt about that. But he has things that no other seller or dealer may ever have (unless someone who bought from benito decides to consign to another dealer/auction house later on, that is ;) ).

Hi Jeff, well, you just answered one of the questions I was going to ask in this forum. I thought that his catalog was too good to be true[/. Glad to know that he's a good dealer. He has a Ballester that well, it is just unreal, I will die for that one.. i really, really, really would love that poster.

This is all quite intriguing to me Rosa. Where exactly are these multiple points of sale in London and in particular the people who are "selling in the street"? I assume this is a street market of some kind.

I go to Brick Lane and the streets nearby, Bacon St. It is a matter of wondering around and see if we can find anything interesting. I tend to buy Lobby cards if I find any, posters are largely 60 and 70s.
And in Stoke Newington, they do Street Markets.

Thats the one, Rosa.
If it is actually a little yellowed or dirty, a mild wash/bleach and pH buffering bath (to neutralize the paper acidity) might be just the thing.
Plus some TLC in a new home! :)

And to think he has 5814 movie poster listings currently on Ebay. :o

OK, let's try Mr Benito then.. ;)

Anyone know why the border is partly white and partly acidified brownish? (Lower and left edges of previous image).
It is on quite a number of my Italian (only) posters. Strange lengths too. Do italians do something different to the rest of the world? Looks like maybe was clamped partly behind a frame or something.
-
Steve,
I was thinking the same thing. That it might have been framed at one point and that lighter area was more shielded from light. The hard "L" shape of the pattern certainly could suggest that; odd where it stops and starts, tho, too.
-
It looks like an odd sized L bracket/clamp, and on the other 2 edges are thumb tack marks. Anyone have a picture of italian posters in situ displayed/clamped?
-
I assumed the L marks were just the marks where it was clamped, so it was held and pressed against a window that opened in a short of L shaped (no?)
I might just check again Cinema Paradiso, just to see if there are any Italian Posters there, and how they are displayed. I will do some research! coffee
i find this poster really weird. love it,
-
Wow, that's without doubt, so far ahead of any other poster for this title I've seen.
Mamma Mia.

Not the best shape, which doesn't bother me, also a reissue, likewise doesn't other me, I like the poster.
I actually ought it for my (ex) Wife years ago, as she is a big MD fan, but she just gave a "meh" so I kept it.

This is all quite intriguing to me Rosa. Where exactly are these multiple points of sale in London and in particular the people who are "selling in the street"? I assume this is a street market of some kind.

I just want to show here what I meant in my earlier post. This one is a LC, R-1948 and to me it looks real.I bought it unframed, nearby Brick Lane, London, in one of the street stalls for £40. On the floor, not hanging on the walls (don't know where yet)

Trawling street markets sounds like hard work Rosa. I personally find London a disappointing source for posters apart from the odd occasion a bargain becomes available at Christies or Bonhams.

The absolute worse place for posters has to be Canada. Unless I am a completely blind idiot (ok that might be possible).
But in all honesty I have never, ever even seen a pre-1990 authentic movie poster for sale anywhere in the flesh!

while browsing ebay france, this one caught my eye (from 1942's Tales of Manhattan):
(http://i.imgur.com/SrAaKYOl.jpg)
the italian one (which this one is) seems to be the only poster to have (what i take as) ginger rogers' face on it in such a prominent spot; i think it is pretty swell. sadly, i don't have the budget for it at the moment ($2000).
-
That's a beauty, ps. Fantastic!!
The portrait looks like it might be Rita Hayworth (to me anyhow ;) )

Chris, the WC was "created by "Woolever Press" of Los Angeles, California. Woolever Press created one-sheets and window cards for movies that were distributed to theaters who (for one reason or another) had difficulty obtaining studio issue paper. Woolever Press posters were created during a movie's first release."*
*info found here: http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/4705541.html Thanks, Bruce.
Bruce, were Woolever items distributed to local theaters in LA, only? Or to theaters nationwide?

So it's an 'other company' card then...still great!

I think so too, Chris. Gimme one, any day!

Each company like Woolever Press, Leader Press, The Other Company, etc had a region they sold to. Theaters ordered from them when they needed posters in a hurry. They were set up because that was before NSS distributed posters and those companies had posters from all studios, which meant it was easier to order from them than from each studio's nearest exchange. Once NSS started distributing posters, that put those companies out of business.

Thanks, Bruce.

Many thanks Bruce. I found this very helpful. I always thought that these printing companies only worked for certain studios eg (Continental Litho only for Warner Bs), so they didn't supply other posters from other the studios. It is good to learn these things. The more the better.
When buying a vintage poster I always think that it is a shame how much of their history is lost, or maybe it is just me. I am always curious to know what happened to it. I am just an emotional collector i suppose. ;)

Anyone know why the border is partly white and partly acidified brownish? (Lower and left edges of previous image).
It is on quite a number of my Italian (only) posters. Strange lengths too. Do italians do something different to the rest of the world? Looks like maybe was clamped partly behind a frame or something.
Several posts ago in this thread, I promised that I will look into this. I did, and this is what I found. Hope it makes sense.
In Spain, which I assume it is like it would have been in Italy, in the small town cinemas they used to have just one huge frame, and always with a thick, heavy wooden frame.
The frame had to be treated regularly to avoid thermites so that could be a reason why the posters had this brownish color. I also understand that the frame was just one size-fits all, so it was be big enough to show OS, 3S and 6S.
With such a large wooden frame, the OS posters were clamped from the top of the frame and from one side, either the left or right. They used a pushpin to tighten up the remainder bottom corner side of the poster.
The interesting bit is that most of those nice posters were then re-used for distribution for shows in other remote villages.
In poorer areas these re-used posters were just ''glued'' to the walls. The way to do it was just by painting a glue mark in a Z shape in the wall not a [] shape so that could also explain why they had this sort of weird discoloration around the top and the bottom (and just one side were it was originally clamped).
Sacarino, an 87 year old assitant in one of those cinemas told my Dad, who told me and now I am telling you. Don't shoot the messenger. I don't know if this is true or not.

Hi Rosa.
Yes, I believe it to be an American one-sheet. There isn't much info on the internet about it (as you might have guessed by the grainy image), but based upon it's proportions, I'm betting that is what it is.
Here's some info about the film and some of the other paper that was used.

Yep. This is one of the first posters I spent a lot of money on $60 :o because of shipping from the UK (quad bod)... She even e-mailed and apologized for the shipping costs... I can't remember when I bought it maybe 2001 or so... I've only seen one other copy of this without AA stuff on it but not rolled. I am sure everyone has one, but I've always been proud to have it. It's a diva in my collection - "I don't even want to take it out of the plastic. ;D

Couldn't find a thread for Eastern European posters. I did not want to overload the forum with new topics. I do like the graphic design of some of these posters. And if I understand this correctly, they do have an excellent quality- printing process. Some artists are incredible I think. See what you think.

The above is by far my all time favorite Polish poster -- one that I spent years tracking down in unfolded, unfaded condition, and that happens to be hand-signed by the artist (the above is HA's pic, not my poster). This is what Louie had to say about it:
Maybe one of the ugliest movie posters ever made, as with 99.99% of all the other Polish "art" posters.
Don't lose sleep over it Rosa... different strokes for different folks apparently!

Lucky you! That poster is incredible. I would put that up in my wall next to Bogie right away. I am one who would die for a poster like Keaton's The Goat, and will kill (a chicken) for any Casablanca (SIX Sheet).

That is beautiful, I could have them both Harry!
Though my favourite is the French. You see Harry, for me the French has a sadness and a depth..and an aura of romanticism. It is all about the emotion and devotion that Coudon brings to the poster with that very simple gesture of Quasimodo. It is so delicate seeing a huge man like that. It is alive. That you cannot find in Ballester's. As beautiful as that one is.
In my Humble Op- BUT WILL HAVE THEM BOTH IF I COULD.
But I am grateful to you for posting this one here, the more the merrier...

I'm partial to the Italian Ballester.
And now, so am I...

The Ballester art is striking, and, as are most of his posters, it is like a fine work of true art. Hunchback wasnt released in Italy until after WWII, in May, 1948, so the poster dates from no earlier than that.
In France, the film was released in April, 1940.

Yep, I'd say the US posters are unexceptional and the foreign posters (mostly re-releases due to WWII) are much better. Overall, though, the film exceeds the marketing materials.

Mike,
Clash/Titans is from 1981... that's NEW stuff...LOL

Dammit.. I was going to catch up with my beauty sleep, but I have to say this, or Bogie will kill me.
I read what some of you have posted. And it is cool. Great to have opinions. And here it is mine.
i read the comments about the art, and whether it is good, bad, or the ugly. I don't see it that way.....In my ever so humble opinion here ..dammit it is 3am in london ..and need to say this properly...
what i mean is when buying a poster like casablanca, you are not buying a poster because it looks nice or its art.
It is an iconic piece. It has far greater value. You are buying a piece of film history. I would go as far as saying that you get a piece of that rare thing call History. Period. It has such a robust stand, all the quotes, the look, everthing. Man, I would die for a piece like this.
Here, I said it. Now, me and me Bogie are going to catch with our beauty sleep.
Thank you all for listening (no talking behind my back) this lady has a day off tomorrow so will comeback...
aaaaaaaaaaah spooky thought

Bogie is looking at both her nose and the back of her head simultaneously. He is an extra-ordinary human, taking in all her lushiousness at once.

Thanks Jeff,
I had a good look at HA site. Good description i thought tho i'd like to know if it looks so ''lively'' in person as in the pic. As you mentioned before in the forum, some posters do look like they might have a color boost. It looks pretty nice to me though. I am now thinking now where to hang it... ;D

Rosa, you just need to fly to Dallas for the auction and be the winning bidder. Easy enough, right? ;D
That way, you can carry it home, and no waiting for it to arrive in the post!!

Indeed. thumbup
The print quality of Grant and Kelly on the 40x60 is inferior, appearing more washed out and less colourful. The portraits are also less detailed than those on the quad.

Meh, the artwork kinda sucks. Look at the face on Hayworth, SOOOOOOO much better paper on this title.
-
Nice, um, chest, but I don't wont no (old?) slapper in my poster
-
I hear you Steve... I'm torn as well. The left half of that poster has what could be the most beautiful representation of Hayworth ever put on paper (which is saying a lot), yet the right half would preclude it from ever being displayed in my house. My wife wouldn't allow it, and frankly I'm not sure I would want it up either.
But... DAY-UM... that left half bed1

What's great to see, tho, too: while it is the same imagery, it is not the same art simply printed on the Arg version. The Arg version was amazingly redrawn:::it was beautifully rendered::: so it is great to look and see the subtle differences, as well, from an aesthetic POV. ;)

That LAST CRUSADE poster is always overlooked and it is primo indeed.
But Jeff, I beg to differ on the Argentine GUN FOR HIRE.
I don't think it was re-drawn.
Some manipulation around the title and some touch-ups/embellishments here and there, but not new art.

Hey Ted, how was that done?
Would the Arg artist get the US poster and create an overlay of some kind and make the changes that way? Or not add as much color to certain areas? I see, for example, on the Arg copy that her cheeks are not as red/rouged and her eyes are more heavily shadowed. Was the art traced? Or the same image used and retouched?
-
Not sure whether they used overlays.
Probably, but I'm not sure whether the work was done in Argentina or, by the same artists in the Paramount studios.
While some of the brush strokes in Lake's hair were certainly added, their facial features appear identical in both posters.
As for the rouge, etc., it all looks the same to me on both, barring the color saturation diff between the two pics, which is considerable.

Thanks!

Maybe it wasn't supposed to be a perfect shadow image, since there are a few other things that aren't a perfect silhouette. Good eye, though. thumbup
Regardless, it's a great image.

If you look, you can see the front of her upper body and chest are also in heavy shadow. This means that the created light source was more from behind her and below. Notice, too, that her shadow is quite a bit taller than she is. This also happens with a low placed (or, in this case, painted) light source pointing upward. ;)
Artistic license.. and me likes this one a lot, too. thumbup

Yeah Neo, her head tilt, jaw angle are wrong and the the shadow of fingers... and missing thumb... well I reckon Charlie the hand shadow alone makes it much worse now!

If that is a recent picture, there must be at least two surviving copies, because Heritage sold a LB copy in 2006 here (http://movieposters.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=636&lotNo=28021#Photo).

A bunch of those Alice's survive (but I don't know if I have ever seen more than one example of any one of them).

Corsair is also a re-release. All United Artists movies of that time had a first UA release and then were sold to lesser companies for re-release. That's why the original UA posters are so rare (and why some people have tried to argue re-releases are first release and have even sometimes altered posters to make them look original.

seen this poster before and thought it was striking.
the pallet used is incredible until you get to her face!
i would need some pretty strong beer googles to fall for a brass that looked like her!
in fact i think i may have fought off advances from similar looking ladies in the past and probably better!
what can i say? may taste is EPIC! haha

You can buy these catalogs here for $40:

The posters themselves (and all images thereof), of course, have been in the public domain for several decades. (In fact most of them immediately fell into the public domain when they were first distributed/published because they were not properly copyrighted).
Many of these posters never reappeared at auction and, consequently, no good images of them can be found on the Internet.

Mel, I spared no expense in the printing of those catalogs, which unlike the majority of color books, were NOT printed in Hong Kong, but right here in the U.S.
Would you agree that digital images do not completely do just to what you view directly on the printed page?
-
Yes, quality is quite good.
Here's an image of the only surviving one sheet of Dr. Jekyll (1931):

Fredric March is outstanding in that film (as he is in every single film). And I would die-kill-you-name-it for that poster. Lucky those who at least were able to see the poster ''live''

I was just thinking you need to have somebody rescan these books for your auction history pages. The images on your site that match up are no comparison. I got my books today and am floored. I was expecting the low res ones from the auction history. This was a great buy! Thanks Bruce...

Hey Mel did you scan in 15 After Midnight? That's a stunner...

You are right that those are dreadful old scans. We HAVE re-scanned everything, and that is one of the coming major projects, where we re-upload all the book and auction catalogs with great new images. PLUS I have many tens of thousands of images of items I sold in the pre-computer days, and I will be at some future time uploading them as well!

Why rescan from the catalogs? Why not digitize your photographs of the posters?

Why rescan from the catalogs? Why not digitize your photographs of the posters?
We DON'T scan "from the catalogs". The posters were all shot on 4" x 5" color transparencies, and we have scanned THOSE, and delivers incredible quality, as you will see.
-
But isn't it an incredible deal to get those six catalogs for $40? That's what just TWO of them cost originally (and soon they will be raised to $60, which is still half original retail).
And I assume you notice that a goodly number of the items DID go into collections 18 to 23 years ago and have still not resurfaced!
-
Yes, I previously noted that many of these posters never resurfaced.

Bruce, Casablanca opened in Italy, in Oct, 1946.
Here is a RR, from 1953. Martinati re-used his own infamous artwork, changing the background/foreground and using a different font style for this release poster:

On the subject of Casablanca, you might want to check out the beautiful Spanish Herald. Maybe not the largest, but absolutely beautiful. Though my favourite Casablanca is the US Insert. I do not care that much for the Martinati. Why? Because it looks like a cheesecake poster.

There is an earlier pre-sound poster which is also not first release, which has been auctioned as first release.
But none of these are technically "re-release" because the movie was in continuous re-release for over two years, so they are just not "first release" (the true first release poster has a propeller design, and Gary Cooper does not receive equal billing).

Well, if that is your rationalization then you could say the same thing about all the Chaplin posters in the 20's which promote his Keystone, Essanay and Mutual shorts.

Tarzan The Fearless (1933 US 1S): The poster is apparently much better than the film. According to Wikipedia, the "serial was extremely crude" and "almost devoid of music" as well as suffering from poor sound.

I am almost out of all books, Mel. I think this Major auction will be the last one where I can give a lot of books as bonuses. After that, I will have a small number left as auction bonuses, and after that I will have the limited number of each I put aside when they were first printed, and those I will only offer at the original cover price.
Would you agree that looking at them in person is much better than looking at scans? I paid a huge amount extra to get the best color printer in the U.S.

The catalogs are very high quality but I prefer my digital collection since it can be sorted in unlimited ways (decade, genre, country, rating (the infamous "five star" rating system in iPhoto), etc.).
After you sell or give away your catalogs, your team should organize a master digital collection of your prior sales and put together some digital Kindle books in various categories (1920s classic posters etc.) and sell them. As far as I understand, virtually all pre-1964 movie paper is in the public domain, so there are no rights issues.
I currently have 700 high-quality/unwatermarked/x-large images of "exceptional pre-1960 posters." Of course, many of them individually - let alone in total - are far beyond my budget, so digital is the "next best thing":

Good advice Charlie but the last chickie told me "It's the posters or me!" What happened? She's long gone, the posters are still here, I've been constantly broke for over four years thanks to this hobby, and - if anything - the addiction is getting worse! But I do have a lunch date this week with an art gallery gal, who at least pretends to like movie posters....

The Frankenstein daybill is very similar to the US insert. There is an image of it in Gresham's Children of the Night book but I don't know if any images are online...

Check that:
It's in this thread right here! http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,4652.475/topicseen.html

Yikes, I think the Daybill maybe better... I need a lie down.
-
Insert is better...
-
There is just something wrong about those 'lively' greens, yellows and oranges splashed under the Monster's mug on the insert
-
I wonder if Mel can do a side by side, with both of them the same size...?

I think what makes the daybill is the fact that the Monster is the proper colour (as we generally accept him to be) and thus looks much more menacing
-
I don't know... I think the red tint creates menace 'o plenty.

Also, the original Monster was not green (or teal in the case of the daybill :))... that seems to be a more modern re-interpretation from people who grew up with only a B&W film to go by. The lobbies clearly show the Monster to be of normal skin color -- albeit pale from his recently overcome condition (i.e. being dead).

I swear there is a behind the scenes video shot in colour that shows the makeup really is green/blue...just gotta find it!

I don't think color makeup shots for a B&W film mean anything. I've seen some dreadful combos like pink shirt and green coat because the shades look 'right' when filmed.

Good point Jay.
Chris does have a point, though, Franky eventually became "green" in marketing materials by his later appearances...

This is such a great reference clip.
Even tho this home movie was shot during Son Of Frank, (and from other material Ive read on Jack Pierce and his creation of the skin tone for the monster's makeup), this grey-green pallor is what Pierce came up with, and is representative of the Monster's coloring, (in all the Frankie movies) that photographed best in B/W. ;)

So on this logic Frankenstein's monster is just black + white?
In 1933 at Universal, yep.
In Mary Shelly's novel, the monster was described as: an 8-foot-tall (2.4 m), hideously ugly creation, with translucent yellowish skin pulled so taut over the body that it "barely disguised the workings of the arteries and muscles underneath"; watery, glowing eyes, flowing black hair, black lips, and prominent white teeth.
The whole bolt in the neck and stitched face was a Universal Horror invention that took on a life of its own
-
Franky wasn't the only character to change in appearance due to the B&W medium either... when looking at the Bride of Frankenstein marketing materials there is zero doubt that the titular character was a red head. However, if you search on "bride of frankenstein costume" you only get back results for black wigs with white shocks.

Elsa Lanchester was a redhead.
So it makes sense that her added "bride" wig, would match her own hair color (and the color poster art, as well). ;)

Bringing it back to the discussion at hand - is not blue/grey/green daybill much closer to a likeness of a "black & white" Monster vs. the angry red Monster on the insert? :-*
-
The daybill is a great poster no doubt. But there is country of origin, and then there is everything else. It doesn't matter if you buying a Metropolis, a Dracula, a Hammer, a Godard or a Fellini. That's just the way it is. Considering how similar they are I don't think you are going to get anyone but the most diehard Aussie lovers who would pick the daybill over the insert. Sure a few might on aesthetics alone... I happen to like the colors on the insert but I can see how some might not. But at the end of the day, if cost were no object I would guess the insert would almost always be more desirable. And remember, desire is driven by more than pure aesthetics... it might be looks, value, rarity, prestige, you name it. The daybill has all of those things, but the insert has more.
IMHO of course.

Louie, here's the 40x60 i was able to locate for OZ. It's not the most detailed as the scan wasnt all that clear, is a B/W image, but it is from the pressbook and is labeled as the "40x60 Oil Paint Process Display," to the left of the poster.

Keith - some cool posters and the film seems to be getting good reviews too, I read one in the magazine 'Little White Lies' that gave it 4 out of 5 for enjoyment and said "it's bags of fun. And nasty too". You should ring the marketing bods and get some of the posters to sell to us :) Good luck at the box office.

I like the newest poster for Keith's film You're Next quite a bit.
Nice concept and execution.

I know somebody's trashing Schachter over on NS4 about this but is there any question about its originality? I really don't care about the background melodrama:

Less is more - the US insert trumps the US one sheet:
(http://www.posternirvana.com/0DNE2/2013-10/Teenage%20Werewolf.jpg)

I agree as the colour in in my opinion sets it off.
However, are those background colours different? Or has some fading and whatnot occurred?
Forgive my lack of knowledge on these posters if not.
If they are different, then I'd love to see the insert background colour on the one sheet!
-
I don't know why the background colors are different. The absence of the werewolf - leaving only the claws - on the insert is what makes it the winner IMO.

Adam,
The OS and insert were printed in those 2 different background colors. Notice too, the colour of her outfit and even the look/drawing of the "damsel in distress" is different on each, too, as well as the blood lines. :D

Yeah, that one was a no-brainer. I saw it, I bought it immediately. I think the seller could have sold it for 3x its price. It's probably going to be a very long time before another one pops up. And no, it is not at the bottom of a pile but in a nice tube where it might be for a while.

So if this film was released on December 29, 1939 and Britain declared war on Germany on September 3, 1939, can this still be considered pre-war??

1940s WC sized piece for the live stage production of "The Tell-Tale Heart," with Lugosi. Based on the date at the bottom, December 8th fell on Monday, in 1941 and 1947. So, based on Bela's look on the poster, Im guessing '47. ;)
(http://i1355.photobucket.com/albums/q719/spitfire3992/vista-theatre2_zps06f09433.jpg)
-
It WAS 1947.
"The production, a 40 minute dramatic reading by Bela supported by a reissue of the film Dracula, appears to have played in sleepy backwaters, but it gave Bela work, and more importantly a pay cheque. His contract for the tour guaranteed him $1,000 per week against 10% of the top gross plus, hotel accommodation, transportation from New York to the engagements and return transportation to his choice of New York or California."

It's an interesting contrast, to see (what looks to be) the same plates used for the KK 6 sh RR.. just fewer colors used and (therefore) less detail brought forth.
A great 6sh, tho, regardless. thumbup

Amazing to think that about 30 years ago not a single one-sheet was known from this film (Bride of Frankenstein), and maybe only a couple total of inserts and halves.
Now there is at least one of each style one-sheet known, a half dozen each of inserts and halves, a couple of jumbo window cards, plus many more lobbies have surfaced.
Same thing with Dracula. 30 years ago, the only one-sheet around was the single copy featured in Borst's book.
Since then another of that style has turned up, the style C has surfaced, a style A has surfaced and then 3 of the Style Fs surfaced at one time (Bruce can best tell that story) in the mid 90s, and another copy of the F came from the Berwick find.
So Dracula went from 1 copy of one style one-sheet known to copies of all four styles known and 8 total known.
This is part of the reason that Universal horror always led the way in prices during the early days, much of it simply remained unknown and so when something did surface there was very heavy demand for it.
Of course there is still demand for it today, but I honestly feel there is more great material available in the collector's market today than at any other time of organized collecting.

I would LOVE to hear the story of the 3 style F Dracula poster find!

The second 24 sheet for BOF - Frankie holding Bride - is very deceptive! I finally got around to watching the movie and Bride was NOT receptive to Frankie's affection. But who can figure out women anyway ;)

Were you expecting an actual monster wedding Mel complete with a white dress and black tux :) You should know better than to put stock in poster art as an accurate representation of a film.
And the "Bride" being a cold-hearted-pathos-inducing-beotch is really the whole point. And then you have Pretorius as the comic foil par excellence...
But yeah - WOMEN - yeesh!

what a photo! :P
not only does it not fit on account of the door jamb, but you've got a bare foot in the left corner, a sock in the right, some baby toys top-center, and i'm not sure i want to know what's underneath!
still, impressive poster (and jean seberg's first film!)

And hopefully not used as the baby's play area.. ;D

Maybe we should just rename this forum the "All Killjoy Forum."
So now I'm a "clue less" - isn't that supposed to be "clueless"? - thief who "steals" images from a company that fraudulently boosts colors! And which probably engages in shill bidding to boot! And and and ... er ... does all kind of bad things! Someone call Oliver Stone!
Whatever. Maybe one day those people will actually contribute to this forum instead of just insulting those who do and tediously droning about on their various and sundry conspiracy theories.
Of course, some people actually do useful things for this hobby:

Not as spectacular as the one sheet (which might just be THE best Dracula poster) but it sure is nice.
Lugosi's trademark hand contortion in particular is perfect as a focal point...

Hey, the Italian is a BRINI, you just can't go wrong :-*with that.
I love the art on the Jumbo card. It is classy Philadelphia Story...

I much prefer the US insert as well....Brini did a wonderful job on the art, it just doesn't capture the flavor of the film the way the insert does....

Perfectly captures the film, is the best poster ON the film, and probably one of the best renditions of Crawford of all time.
So occasionally he screws up...we'll give him a pass ;)

Learn something new everyday. Tonight EMP sold the pressbook for the 1941 planned release, which was delayed for several years (and the posters radically changed to feature a scantily-clad Russell): "[T]his is a pressbook from the intended 1941 release of this classic movie! Posters and lobby cards were printed, but then the release was cancelled. The movie did not receive its general release until 1946, 5 years later! Only a couple of posters and a couple of dozen lobby cards have surfaced from that aborted 1941 release."

Cool looking images and take on BTTF, for this ad campaign.
These posters were created to promote the Nike shoe, as mentioned, back in 2011, and to help the Michael J Fox Foundation, and its awareness and fight against Parkinson's Disease. The ebay auctioning of 1500 pairs of the Air Mags, was a great idea, too! clap
The 2 min spot created was also a lot of fun, with Christopher Lloyd making an appearance! ;D

The RealArt House of Dracula insert recently sold for $2,500. All the posters for this movie are pretty good:

From the 1947RR pressbook, these Frankenstein/Dracula combo posters... the US OS and the 3sh. Spectacular, imo!! sm1
Do copies of either of these exist?
Unfortunately, just like the half sheet and insert for the single films, that combo one-sheet is also duo-tone.
And while some people may say the duo-tone pieces are nice, the demand for them is very low; I had a nice unrestored half sheet for Dracula listed on my old site at $2500 for the longest time (and around the time I had sold two copies of the one-sheet at $42,000 and $47,000 each).
It was quite baffling

Mel, I have the Realart HoD proudly displayed. It is a better poster I think than the original and very colorful

Yep, the RealArt beats the original by a country mile.

I think some of Bruce Cabot's extended neck should have been delegated to Robert Armstrong, on this one. And when did Wray go brown-auburn? rofl1
But I like Kong's stylized facial features, tho.. thumbup it's different and more unique. And a great looking poster, even so.

A great depiction of Rita for sure... it's unfortunate that the copy being offered is SO BADLY faded. Look at Orson and Rita's skin tones in their embrace at right. Yikes. And this is even after "Color touchup has also been applied to correct slight fading. (http://movieposters.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=7098&lotIdNo=11266)" It looks like the punched up the lips and maybe added some yellow back in the hair to give some definition. I'm with Chris on this one anyway... as nice as this poster is, I much prefer the Italian.
Still, can anyone name another movie where so many countries consistently came up with such striking designs?

I love Ballester. But on this occasion I take the FR. Thanks Matt for posting another one in its full glory. ;)

Here they are head to head - I still prefer the French (not proportional, the French is slightly larger):
(http://www.posternirvana.com/0DNE3/2014-05/Lady%20From%20Shanghai%2C%20The%20%281948%20Italy%201P%29.jpg)
P.S. I used the "remove color cast" command to whiten/brighten images above by selecting the interior of the word "Rita" - which presumably was originally pure white - in both posters. It's difficult to know just how "white" the original paper was. I assume the original paper was pretty close to pure white. Below is a pic of my very-well-preserved "Colossus of New York" (1958) that, despite 56 years of acidification, still looks very white. I've inserted a new white piece of paper for comparison:
(http://www.posternirvana.com/0DNE3/2014-05/White.jpg)

The French is nice but there are a couple of reasons I prefer the Italian. Frankly the US 3 sheet is before it too. Different strokes and all...

I wrote Park Circus over the weekend (in the US, the UK and France) asking about the poster's availability to collectors, aside from copies sent to theaters that had booked the film.
I got replies from the marketing departments and was told that the poster will Not be available for purchase to the public, due to an agreement with the studio. These are, in part, what I received, via email, from 2 different Park Circus marketing execs :
"I'm afraid we can't sell the marketing material we create - the agreement we have with the studios mean we can only supply to cinemas to promote screenings."
"I am afraid these posters are not for purchase and are only available for cinemas/festivals that programme the film and have licensed a screening from Park Circus."
So unless some copies slip thru the cracks, it could be tough to snag one.

Yes, and I recall that Park Circus has stopped sales of their posters on Ebay before, although here are 3 on UK Ebay right now (http://www.ebay.co.uk/dsc/Posters-/18828/i.html?LH_Auction=1&_sop=1&LH_TitleDesc=1&_from=R40&_nkw=park+circus&LH_PrefLoc=1&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR11.TRC1.A0.H0.Xpark+circus&_osacat=18828&_odkw=).
These are not on France Ebay currently.

That's actually a photo of my poster - art by Fiorenzi - which I got from Heritage back in 2009. I'm not sure if it is first release or not - it is so difficult to know with Italian posters - but I am very pleased to have it.
Mark

Very nice and congrats on you having that GWTW 2F, Mark. clap
As you said, Italians can be so hard to date. One thing that might possibly indicate it as a first release (just a hunch here), is the fact that this poster names MGM as the distributor (I love the red logo, too). I see HA says this is from 1950, and imdb indicates that GWTW first played in Italy, in Nov, 1951.
HA auctioned a locandina, also from the 1950s (the last digit of the year on the piece was damaged): http://movieposters.ha.com/itm/academy-award-winner/gone-with-the-wind-mgm-r-1950s-italian-locandina-125-x-2725-academy-award-winners/a/161419-51163.s On this release, the distributor was Loew's, Inc.
Several fotobustas that HA sold, name CIC as yet another, later distributor.

Thank you for the further info Jeff. So it would appear to be first release.

Certainly is a strong indication that it is, Mark. thumbup

WoW Mark. I'm really happy (and jealous). Don't know if you would or not agree. But the colours and depth of this poster is quite something. Particularly around her face...You feel her presence in the room!

I love John Ford and this film. I have always loved this other one. It just speaks to me girly.gif

That's the great thing about posters (like other artistic forms and media) - "beauty in the eye of the beholder syndrome."
One sees junk, the other sees treasure.. ;D

Wow, the cloud made up of bison is amazing on that 1-sheet. The sixer is fun too.

Simpler graphics for a simpler time... but for then (1924), and for what it represents... is certainly all works together. (imho).
That simpler time close for over 50.... and to think I was happy I won that King Kong!

Leave it to Brini to put together the best poster for Mogambo. He takes Ava Gardner and creates this beautiful poster. She is more important than the title! JOHN FORD must have been pleased.

While looking at that French film poster link I posted from Twitter, I was reminded of this beauty by designer Jean Malclez.

What is that Jeff?

Chris, I'm not sure what size it is, but it's a UK poster, maybe for the first release? J. Arthur Rank was the distributor in the UK for its first run there. But it also has the UI logo in the lower left corner..... imdb says UI was a "releasing agent" for the film, too.
So.. i'm not sure, to be honest. hmmm.gif
We need one of the UK experts to chime in.

It kinda looks like a magazine ad to me?

Chris, Here's am image link from the wrong side of the art website... a SUPER sized image. It certainly looks like it has fold lines as a poster would have, as opposed to a mag insert or page:

Oh my stars! I had NO (gasp!) idea you were into such things as "fancy" striking. How often do you strike your "fancy"? It's almost vulgar that you are openly discussing it here...and yet, I shockingly and shamelessly can't seem to look away. Oh my!

Here's a collection favorite I love to gaze at. Coming from the classic period of Thai movie posters, it's uniquely painted in portrait mode rather than landscape that was more common at the time. The image and colors jump off the page.

Its from the 'Revenge' sequel and I can't find any artist's credit anywhere.
Anyone know who it is?

Very cool poster, Ted. I like how the gillman is up in the white borders... it almost gives the illusion that he is coming right off the paper!

I agree with Jeff - that's very nice and I've not seen it before

Rosa, I think the darker colour is just my rubbish photography! It was taken a few years ago in a dark room, I'm no photographer unfortunately. I must pull it out and take a better photo one day.
A quick Google states the second screen was built in 1965, which is interesting considering the poster states "First British Screen Presentation".
Matt, if you have an Academy 3 poster, we have the set between us ;)

Thank you Tob, I appreciate you sharing this pic (not bad at all!). I think it makes the poster all more interesting if it has some variations, like the ''Academy Cinema One'' Or ''Academy Cinema Two''. It just adds extra fun to the mix!

I had totally missed that in Vick's prior post, (http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,1599.msg195007.html#msg195007) that the poster was being offered by the "Picker Boys."
In looking at the one they had (it's now sold, tho still on the site), it was a 40x60, not a standard OS. (Or did they also have a OS in stock, too?)

Question for Bruce -- was this poster produced by one of the "other companies?" That it lacks any studio or production credits is interesting, too. Or was it a studio release OS? It's a stunning and eye grabbing poster, imho, that's for sure.

Question for Bruce -- was this poster produced by one of the "other companies?" That it lacks any studio or production credits is interesting, too. Or was it a studio release OS? It's a stunning and eye grabbing poster, imho, that's for sure.
It is definitely NOT studio issue. It likely was printed by "Leader Press" (if not by them, then by one of the similar companies; see below).
In the 1930s, a constant headache for theaters was being sure of having movie posters for their current releases. Often, the posters would travel with the actual film prints, and sometimes the theater before them might have forgotten to include the poster, it might have been defaced or torn, etc. If a theater didn't have posters, it was very frustrating!
Several companies began in the 1930s (Leader Press, the "other company", Woolever Press, etc) that made posters of their own for new releases, and they would provide a back up for theaters in case they didn't get a studio issued poster.
Often the posters from these companies (with the exception of the "other company") were silk-screen posters, but they were often quite attractive, and virtually always had a completely different design from the regular studio issued poster.
It is an absolute fact that posters from these companies are far more rare than the regular studio issued posters. It is also a certainty that these posters were issued when the movies were first released. In fact, they were created PRIOR to the movie's release, so that they could serve as teaser or advance posters (theaters rarely got the studio issued posters before receiving the actual movie).
We have located an extremely rare original advertisement for Leader Press posters which clearly states that they were available to theaters a full two weeks prior to each movie's release.

Thanks for the info, Bruce. Leader (or whoever designed and printed that poster) certainly knocked it out of the park with this one. clap clap

French 1P for Werewolf of London. Though touted as a first release, I'd love to know for sure, as it has no Universal logo or production credits. And on the top border, it says: "R.A.C. presents" rather than "Carl Laemmle presents" or "Universal Film S.A. presents." The reason I ask, is that other French posters for Universal horror material, (like Bride of Frank, for example) which is also from 1935, does have the Universal info or logo image (see below). Does anyone have any info on this? Ive also reached out to Todd Feiertag to get his thoughts.
In any case, Ive always really admired the art, color and image of Henry Hull on this piece. It's Big and in your face!

The producer, Rob Stewart, was on a diving trip in the Florida Keys a few days ago, filming his latest movie, Sharkwater Extinction . On his last dive of the day, he allegedly surfaced, gave the OK sign, then vanished. A rescue team found his body earlier today. He will be missed.

What a tragic end to that brief story, Brandon. Especially if he gave the OK sign before disappearing below the surface. I wonder what could have happened?
On a more upbeat note: Are the 2 posters that you posted above part of your collection, too? If so, congrats on these additions. thumbup
-
They're great posters. I do not have copies in my humble collection, but would probably bid on them if I saw them. On the Revolution poster, the baobab tree is remarkable, in itself, and the overall design is pretty rad.
Rob and his dive buddy were diving pretty deep, 225 feet, and it was their third dive. They were also using rebreathers, which combined with multiple dives that deep, makes the diving even more complicated. Rob's buddy allegedly passed out at the surface and the boat was picking him up when they saw Rob surface, but did not get to him in time. It's possible that he also passed out. Very unfortunate turn of events.
-
Brandon, here's hoping you snag them both at some point, then, and thanks for the few more known details (at this point) of the diving tragedy.

Indeed.
His work helped to enact worldwide bans on shark finning, and brought to light other environmental concerns. It is remarkable how some films can make a difference in truly noble and important causes.

Yes, that's the medium size (24x32in). I'm no fan of Belinsky, one of the rare French artists from that era that I don't like, but I think I'd go for that Laura. I have no idea what happened to Laura in France and why its paper is so elusive (aka impossible to find). Many 1946 (post war year of release) posters can be found, but not this one.

For the most part I agree Jeff, though for Wolf Man it is the only style one-sheet there is, so not much choice if that's the size you want.
On Dracula though, this is the poster where the artwork actually looks like Lugosi, as opposed to the cartoony image of the style F.
(Yes, the photo image of the style B is of course him, but this art is great - I've seen Fishler's copy in person and it's just beautiful.)

Do you know the story of where/when this copy surfaced? Sounds like a recent find...

I agree with you, Sean, that the image is very spot on with Lugosi's likeness and it's beautiful in that regard. And the colors are fantastic, seeming to almost hop off the paper.
thumbup
I never got the "cartoony," style F version, either. There is very little menace to it, but the colors also do pop.

Both this and the Phantom one-sheet in the current auction are new to market pieces, having been in the seller's family since the 50s.
Not a collector, but someone in the film industry acquired them both back then as they loved the art and the son is selling now.

US Insert for The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (1920) bed1
That's a pretty amazing poster, and would be an incredible find.
But my first thought when I see it is that it's not real.
Philips was the name of the UK releasing company for Caligari (all the US material simply says Distributed by Goldwyn) and an insert is not a standard size they used back then.
The show dates printed on the bottom of the poster Fri-Sat March 19-21 (which would be Fri-Sun, not Fri-Sat) would be 1920 show dates, but the film debuted in Germany the last week of February 1920 and didn't roll out to other countries until 1921.
Can't find any info on a Senator Theater in the UK (and wouldn't that be a "theatre" anyways), though I do find one in Baltimore starting in 1939.
Lastly the idea that a theater was air-conditioned in 1920 would be huge, the Rivoli in Times Square usually gets credit for being the first theater to have air-conditioning and that was in 1925.

Wax Museum TC and Werewolf of London TC both passed, why are you even posting those?
Post Son of the Sheik instead.
But at least you can see a little bit of why he did the auction this way - it was in conjunction with TCM so he got lots of press that way, it was an auction of only his stuff where of course with Heritage it would have been combined with a signature sale, and very single item had a reserve (even $500 lobbies), and it would be very doubtful that Grey would agree to such an arrangement.
But I would say overall the results are what you would expect from a place that doesn't normally handle posters, gave no descriptions of items and had less than stellar photos.

To me, the original, un-retouched images of the various LC from Ira's collection are much better than those presented above that have been messed around with, in Photoshop. (And that's what I'd rather see).
Imho, the added saturation and/or color, plus the stark, minty white borders makes them look like new reproductions, (since that same kind of "adjustment" is also done to many reproduced poster images, both old and new).
As a comparison:

This Italian 2F for Frankenstein. With no credits, aside from Karloff's name, is this a first release? Or maybe from the early late'30 / early '40s?
imdb shows that the movie was shown at the Venice Film Festival in August, 1932, but that it didnt open in Italy until Dec. 2, 1935.
But what color and vibrancy, along with the flaming windmill! One kick ass poster, for sure!

imdb shows that the movie was shown at the Venice Film Festival in August, 1932, but that it didnt open in Italy until Dec. 2, 1935.
But what color and vibrancy, along with the flaming windmill! One kick ass poster, for sure!

That poster was offered for sale alongside the Swedish Frankenstein I bought. The Italian 2F was heavily restored with lots of airbrushing. It was listed as an early 40s re-release and had an opening bid of $40,000 IIRC. It didn’t receive any bids so it either went back to the consignor (Frank Darabont) or was possibly sold privately after the auction.

I Love it! That is a kick-ass poster!

You know it Michael. And I'd love to know how much and what areas were retouched/restored, too.

Another printing of the Italian Frankenstein 2F. Looking at Karloff's face on this copy, this copy looks un-retouched and the face is much better on this one, imho. The UNI logo is on the lower right, along with a different distributor logo in the upper left corner.
Karloff's text is also a different color, too. as well as the printer. Looks to be A.P.E. Roma on this copy. Spying.gif

On this day in 1927, Metropolis was released in the US. Since we’re all familiar with the iconic, skinny poster, I’ve decided to share the image from the French release that same year by Boris Bilinsky.

I only WISH I owned it, okie. I was just toying with you.
But I did watch the auction with real interest. I'm normally not one to like or want signatures on posters, but in this case, I would have made an exception, without thinking about it twice. bed1

And, you would have chosen wisely, Jeff! Incredible poster. I like signatures and history connected to posters as well. Mary Philbin signature, wow! Okie

Looks like Aqua Man has sharks as his minions on that poster, Brandon. Cool poster.
He kind of has an underwater, Hugh Jackman-Wolverine kind of look going on, too. cool1
Did you ever watch the animated Aqua Man on TV, as a kid?

The seasons from the lates 60s and early 70s were a little before my time, so they weren't on tv, unfortunately. They look classic especially compared to some of the various iterations from the 2000s.
The poster piqued my interest for the movie. As you said, all the sea life appear to be under Aquaman's control, like he's the Lord of the seas, with Atlantis in the background, etc. 8)

I had no idea they first started on TV in 1967, either. I sure I saw them later on, in re-reuns, on Saturday mornings, when we all got up to watch the blocks of cartoons. (Or maybe the re-reuns were on, after school, too. I dont really remember, to be honest).

Did you see the original artwork in the current Heritage Auction? (hopefully this doesn't count as "outing"; I believe HA & EMP active listings are considered fair game for discussion)
It can be yours, for a low, low, price estimated in the $15k-30k range.

I did see the original artwork, too, Deke.
Im amazed that they not only have it for auction, but that it was kept in such great condition, stored away, all these decades later.
The original painting is as bright and vivid as if it was painted yesterday. notworthy.gif
