Title: Text Only Movie Posters
Post by: paul waines on March 17, 2011, 12:31:05 PM

Sorry to slightly change the subject Chaps but... Mel, I wasn't comparing Quad for 1Sht, it was a generalisation... just because a poster of any kind has too much text, or blank space, doesn't mean it's valueless, or second rate.

Without looking anywhere, how would you rate/value these.

No, I like Paul's originals before Harry's 'fix-up.'
Those are two crackin' examples of type-only classics. Yee-haw!  thumbup

Nice posters, Paul.  Love the DRACULA.  thumbup

The only contribution I can make to this Text Only thread is this STAR WARS 'B' Teaser. 

(http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu12/brude2000/StarWarsBTeaser.jpg)

I haven't shot mine yet, so I borrowed this pic from Dave's Cinemasterpieces.  I believe this one was sold, so I don't think Dave will mind.  Mine is also folded with GAU logo and with less fold wear than this one....

I've been thinking of selling or trading it.  I know this isn't the proper thread, but if anyone's interested, you know where to find me....

Ted,

I much prefer your B teaser to the other SW examples given. The spacing, variation in font sizes and amount of Empty, black background seems more evenly balanced, IMHO. Just a preference, of course.

I have two really cool World War II posters. In each case, a G.I. took the poster down from the wall and made entries on the back for each day for a couple of weeks, and then mailed them to their wives. Like Ari's the posters are completely covered with tiny writing (that you can easily read) on the back, and it gives a cool insight into how life was for G.I.s in Europe in WWII.

I thought about trying to track down the owner (or their children) but there are only first names and a few clues in the writing. I really should contact History Detectives on them, because with their resources they might well find the owners (if they found them worth taking on).

I will try to dig them out to take photos.

This one Arrived today, I won't post in the Newly Acquired thread, there's too many nice one's in there at the moment.

It caught my eye as it's hand painted... it's Quad sized, and period (late60's/early 70's)paper. So these must have been printed as Blanks!! it then looks like a sign writer has done the wording on it. Strange how the text wasn't just printed onto the paper... 

I know Cinemas had one off showings, but they also had local printers for one off jobs!! it must have cost more to have a sign writer do this...  Most odd.

Post by: paul waines on June 15, 2011, 12:48:29 PM

In the early years it was at film fairs, or Mail Order. ( Any one in the U.K. remember Teddy Green? ) Since then mostly the Inter-web, or through collector friends.

As I'm a tight Yorkshireman I don't like to pay top Dollar... ;)

It's all hand done, looks like it was a smash as the 6 days turned

I picked this up as I have the Quad, thinking it's British. Having measured it, it's 40 7/8' X 27 7/8...
I'm guessing U.S. now. Anyone have any ideas? There's no info at all on the poster..

Jeff, is this meeting with your text only requirements.... ;)


I picked this up as I have the Quad, thinking it's British. Having measured it, it's 40 7/8' X 27 7/8...
I'm guessing U.S. now. Anyone have any ideas? There's no info at all on the poster..

"Text only" seems self explanatory to me.  ;)

It has nothing to do with my requirements.

A cool poster, Paul. I like it, too.  clap

This looks like it could maybe be a US broadside, locally printed in some town or city.

Hey Paul, Not a text image followup but here is the actual US OS for this film (Vice and Virtue).  It's from 1963 and Catherine Deneuve is also in it.  thumbup

It is a Gaumont-International Picture and was distributed by MGM.  ;)

Picked this up recently, I just love the history of a piece like this. The poster is from the re-release in 1960.

Soak up all that old British Cinema History, Newquay is a popular Holiday resort too.

I picked up 12 of these, all different. I'm not going to post them in the latest thread with all those nice posters Chris is putting on.. ;)

As we've said before scarce, maybe the only ones left, but not worth much. These are Bus posters, or bills?  They were used inside buses to advertise anything from pubs, clubs, toffee's and crisps, and yes even what was on at the local Cinema. All from the late 60's..

They are about 8"x15" Ted. I know most Americans won't know how U.K. Buses looked, but if you watch Potter 3 - Prisoner of Azkaban. When Potter is on the bus, you can see some of these kind of ads above the side windows, in the corners near the roof... Maybe someone can post a pic?

My guess is We don't care...  Yvonne is "Mrs punctuation", she goes off it if something is wrong like that. Me I do know the difference, but would only care if it was an essay or something. Us Northerners struggle to speak proper, and even spell right... ;) and all that punctuation just gets in the way..

A-hah!
Yes, we used to have something like that in the buses back then.
Don't know whether they do that anymore seeing as I haven't been on a bus in eons.

Nice paper, Paul.  Very unique.  cheers

Thanks Ted, and there's 12 different ones too..


I haven't been on a bus in 35 years either, wonder if they do still advertise inside..?

I do think some of these so called "lift-bills" that are being mentioned of late, maybe used on the outside of Buses too. on the front corners below the upstairs windows.
....Most get a size on those..

Well done Gemma, I was going to bid on those myself....  I see he sent yours rolled too, mine were quite badly creased as he sent them rolled while folded......A big NO NO..

Mind your centre fold looks worse for wear...  Do email him and confirm this is bad practice, I'll be posting pics of mine in the poor packing thread.

Thanks Paul for not bidding!!! I think I would have had to hunt you down if you won (despite who ugly they are!) Yes I was annoyed when he told me they were going to be rolled but they are now out of the tube and will be placed folded and flat from now on.
