Got a good deal on this Barbarella Style A one sheet.  (Although methinks the half sheet for this style is the best format.)

I like the large Italian version where the woman at the back has a wardrobe malfunction.

Is that B2 the biggest Barb Japanese poster?  Was there a B1 or B0?  What about a tatekan?

That is a very nice image Schan, I see what you mean.

Hanoi Jane?  Well, she has repeatedly apologized. In 1988, she said:

"I was trying to help end the killing and the war, but there were times when I was thoughtless and careless about it and I'm very sorry that I hurt them. And I want to apologize to them and their families. [...] I will go to my grave regretting the photograph of me in an anti-aircraft gun, which looks like I was trying to shoot at American planes. It hurt so many soldiers. It galvanized such hostility. It was the most horrible thing I could possibly have done. It was just thoughtless..."

So at some point you gotta show some forgiveness.

I would imagine they printed a tatekan and also larger sizes. Around that time most big budget foreign movies had a full set of ad materials. But I have never seen them and only own the B2. Anything on this film is very rare in Japan (and expensive). I once came accross a B2 with different artwork by the way, I believe it was an advance poster. But it was pretty ugly and I didn't buy.

Gotta agree. Besides, if you let personalities and or politics get in the way, you will miss out on quite a few great movies. Plenty of actors and directors I dont like at all as people.  8)

Schan that is a sweet image.

Harry there aint nuttin wrong with that Belgian.

Post by: kovacs01 on December 04, 2010, 02:47:40 PM
I agree with Armin.  I imagine there is a B1 and tatekan at least.  There is a B1 for Bullitt, also from 1968 and quite a few from before that as well.  Given that it was not a small production and wildly popular around the globe, id imagine there were some printed.  Whether they still exist is another matter.

I sold a Japanese vertical two-sheet (40" x 58")this past summer to a gentleman who is one of the biggest Barbarella collectors on the planet.
Unfortunately I didn't save a large picture of it.  :'(

No, but that artwork was used for the regular Argentinian 1-sheet poster.  Unfortunately it seems to be even rarer than the 40x60 and nearly as expensive.

And check out this UK subway (40x60)... roughly the same artwork as the quad, but Mel will like the framing better and I like the size better!

That is my favorite design for this film, Harry, in any format. 
Earlier you mentioned that you had a small Belgian and followed it with the quad art.
I also have a Belgian but it is the McGinnis art...
Is there a Belgian in that quad style?

Here's my Belgian...

Which 'that' did you mean?  The quad art on the 40x60 UK subway?  If so, I agree... although I do love the US 40x60 as well.  I think the quad (and the Czech) really capture the comic book origins. 

The Belgian is great... but a little small for my tastes.  There is always the US subway poster...


(http://www.emovieposter.com/images/moviestars/20080415/subway_barbarella_PA01595_L.jpg)



But still... I think the Belgian is better balanced in the superwide format and it doesn't have all the messy text.  I guess I'll just have to pony up for the 24 sheet someday  ;D

"That" referred to the quad/40x60 art, both of which you posted, Harry. I think you answered my question re: Belgian...

Now, does anyone know if this Hildebrandt piece was EVER used for a 1979 or 1981 RR?  Two websites I have come across say that it was, but I have yet to find any artwork with title, credits, etc...
It is a very cool piece....

Well Brude, if you like original art and the Barb quad, I'm sure you'll love this... the original artwork signed by Robin Ray sold for $4.3k at Christie's a while back:

My thoughts exactly. I put it on my watch list the first time it was posted... after it ended and was relisted, I decided against it re-adding it!

I wasn't even aware that it has been relisted.  I pulled that picture a few months ago when it first popped up and just now got around to posting.  Yeah, none of what that guys has is really priced to sell; although, I do seem to recall last time he had some bids despite the exorbitant starting prices.

Those UK 'sexed up' posters are fantastic!  Are they yours?

By the way, the 70s German re-release sold for $250. The seller must have lowered his reserve again. He told me it was $450 initially, but he revised it down to $350.

Harry's question is a valid one. Just because 2 posters have, what looks to be, permanent stamps of *some* owner, doesnt necessarily mean that the present owner is still that same individual.

Some inks and the like can be a bitch to get out of paper and some may choose to leave it, rather than pay to have it removed.

Bill Gold designed the Style B OS (http://www.sabotagetimes.com/tv-film/bill-gold-the-man-behind-the-movie-posters/):

The ‘Style B’ one-sheet poster was the only one I had something to do with, if I recall. They didn’t use it on the main campaign, but today the ‘Style B’ is the one that seems to attract the most attention. The other one had an illustration by McGinnis. I was called by Paramount, saw the movie and went through the stills pack. It was sort of a sexy science-fiction movie, very late 1960s. A mixture of sex and space age. The still of Jane Fonda with her strange rifle was in fact a publicity shot from the stills pack. It was not specifically shot by us.
