I like this set of Great Gatsby banners very much (DS 5X8 Feet). The colors are very vibrant. My phone camera are doing them an injustice.

BLACK SABBATH French medium size movie poster I got. Here's a question for you all - I know French posters come in large and medium sizes (and some small). This BLACK SABBATH poster has the same design for the medium and large. Many of the Hammer posters have completely different images for the medium and large sizes. Can you tell me what the two sizes were used for? Was the medium size BLACK SABBATH poster I have released at the same time the larger poster was? Thanks all and hello again to everybody.

Yes, they were printed at the same time. Sometimes the artist, like Grinsson, would be commissioned to do 2 versions, sometimes 1, sometimes he was rushed and could only do one, sometimes they didn't have the budget for 2. Both size, large and medium, were used inside the theater lobby. The smaller size came later, in the 70s, and replaced the medium size.

Interesting, but you do see a 'lot' of the smaller size for '60s films, particularly films like The 400 Blows, Cleo from 5 to 7, and the ubiquitous La Dolce Vita. Are those actually '70s reissues then and not original release? That would explain the apparent unending supply of Dolce Vita smalls.

No, they're original releases and they're actually even smaller than the 70s/80s one. I guess you could say that both the smaller size (the one you referred to) and the medium size (above) morphed into the affichette of today. So you're right, there were 3 sizes through the 50s/60s, then 2 died and were replaced by a 4th size, still prevalent today.

Grinsson certainly did a nice job by this poster. Congrats on the pickup, Mike.

Ari I like that you got Blood Beach. One time Burt Young was having

alone near where I lived and being a fan I started a conversation with "Hey I love the fact that you were in Blood Beach!" I think this caught him off guard (probably because he gets so many approaches with Rocky and Chinatown) and he invited me to sit. We chatted for half an hour about his career and the current state of the studio system. Super nice guy.

Here are two more recents all snug in new frames ready to be hung. I'd never seen the original BREATHLESS Belgian before...didn't know it existed.

Looks like you will be busy for a little bit opening all those.

erik1925 · « **Reply #20 on:** April 04, 2016, 01:30:27 PM »

Mike, are any of these pieces backed?

Or simply framed, as is?

mwright · « **Reply #21 on:** April 04, 2016, 02:01:38 PM »

NOT OF THIS EARTH and GODZILLA are backed.
