I'm on the look out for unusual (mostly British ) Christmas Cinema Posters... I don't tend to post what I want, but I don't think this is a subject people will want, So... If you have anything do let me know.
Here's a few examples of what I mean...

Thought I had a couple of others on my computer, but not. Anyhoo you get the idea... :)
Found this other one, it's an ordinary Double bill with a festive ABC Snipe added...

U.S. SIX SHEET POSTER 81X81
Such a great film.. and I do like this poster!
IMHO, this was the best filmed version done of the story. No one holds a candle (again, imo) to Alastair Sim, as Scrooge. I watch this version every Xmas! clap clap
-
O.K. I'll try a different tack, it's nowhere near Christmas, so anyone want rid of there British posters with a Christmas theme..
-
And still looking for these too.

You should buy the six sheet previously shown in this thread.
Kirby
-
I should, but expenses being what they are, if I remember right when I looked on your site it was ......er not cheap. ;)
-
It is not. However, it has been up for several years with no takers, and I am now prepared to negotiate its purchase rather briskly.
However, that said, unless you are a pure collector and just want to acquire the piece as a pure collector might, remember that six sheets are a challenge.
That said, I have never seen another six on this title. I acquired this in 1986 in Marin County California from a man who had a nice selection of large format posters in better titles of the 1940s and 1950s.

I only buy anything as a collector, I think I've sold two posters...ever, and they were duplicates, to fund other purchases. I do have a few UK 12Shts, even a couple of US 6Shts, and some bigger. Can't get them up as I don't have the space, but it's nice to have them... :D
-
Will sell it, or the three-sheet I have, which is also on my site. I have seen other examples of this poster, however. Or BOTH.

By "pure" collector I simply mean someone who does not care whether or not the poster is framed and displayed; they are collecting for the "pure" joy of owning the artifact from the film.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I think this version of a A Christmas Carol is the best of the filmed versions, bar none. I always thought that the poster material for this movie, tho, was a little weak, art-wise. They could so much better, imho.
What do you think about the poster campaign (the art) for this flicker, Kirby.
-
U.S. art on posters for British films distributed in the USA is often not up to the art of U.S. posters for the same general period. I think this is kind of close to the British art. These films were imported to the USA on the cheap, often. And this story had been made by MGM not that many years earlier.
-
Well, I still like the Quad best...though I am biased...

And still looking for other stuff.. :)

That is Great looking art on your quad, Paul! I should have been more specific, and said the rather bland art used for the US material.
The IT 2 foglio, with art done by Ballester, is also just notworthy.gif

That is nice..
The art looks more recent than 51..
-
Maybe done the mid 50s? I checked imdb and they didnt have the release year for Italy listed, tho a number of other EU countries showed their first releases anywhere from 1952-1956

I wasn't meaning it was done later, but it has a later look to it. Maybe should have worded it better... eyeroll
-
Got it.
