This is the ONLY way to buy a poster. Buy it used and get it restored yourself so you know exactly what kind of work was done and you have pictures to prove it should you need to sell it.

I don't say it often, but this is great poster. Color me jealous.

Bravo on both getting this poster and with the beautiful restoration job that Poster Mountain did for you, Gemma.

Congrats!!

CHRIS and JASON--nice pick ups! The ROGUE ONE, I agree, is the nicest style I've seen for the film--and i am no STAR WARS fan. Bravo. The EVIL DEAD poster is simply awesome. It's colorful, chaotic and thumbs-up, four-stars campy brilliant.

GemGem: That is simply GORGEOUS!!!!!!! Oh my stars! STUNNING!

Happy (almost) Valentine's Day! Yes, if I'll put up a bonus post for Ground Hog Day and Fake Jan Day...do you think I'd leave out Valentine's Day? Hello? Love them or don't---here's the teaser preview. Not the best--but not the worst. The certainly pale in comparison to what is posted here already. Zowie! I'll be posting it to my thread sometime after APF midnight strikes:

THE GOLDEN GOOSE:

STAR WARS EPISODE II: ATTACK OF THE CLONES:

GODS AND MONSTERS:

Now, if you haven't remembered to get your sweetie something yet---NOW is the time to run out and get something before it's too late.

Happy early VD.

CHEERS!

This is the one I like the most but I never heard about this movie. The artist made the look striking directly to you all the color tones gives a nice effect. It is now my wishlist. Is there a bigger size with a similar style ?

Thanks for sharing !

The US OS has similar looking artwork:

How strange. I HAVE the one sheet. I got it last spring and posted it on my thread (http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,9480.700.html about 2/3 of way down). Interesting that the one you found, Jeff, shows a title change.

erik1925 · « **Reply #56 on:** February 14, 2017, 01:53:04 AM »

It seems (from a quick search) that it was released under both titles. I'd be curious to know how this came about, as both titles seem to be tied to the first release.

Monster_A_GoGo · « **Reply #57 on:** February 14, 2017, 02:07:59 AM »

It LOOKS like THE AMAZING MR X title is the one that is more commonly used for the title. IMDB uses it and a quick search of Amazon yields a lot of DVDs with that AMAZING title--and very little with the SPIRITUALIST. I like THE SPIRITUALIST title better...it just sounds a bit more spooky (which is why i got mine...).

CHEERS!

An impressive restoration job from Poster Mountain. Here's the before:

Beautiful resto for such an important film poster.
Congratulations.

Fine greetings to you. I hope your Valentine's Day is going well. Feb. 15th is just hours away (APF time). I'll have my usual mid-month post up soon after it strikes midnight. Here is a small taste...

Nice Marc.

Can I ask what the dimensions are? Just curious since it's pre war.

In case you missed it, Marc. Or maybe you feel shy. (kidding, of course)

It looks like a standard size Belgian, but I cant tell, for sure. It's a beauty, regardless.

I really like The Great Dictator - good to see a classic poster getting the restoration it deserves. Also like that Belgian poster, Jeff, haven't seen it before.

I recently bought these:

They are part of a group of 34 portraits inserted into a 1935 copy of Kinematograph Weekly a bit like some of the major US studios used to advertise their coming season of films by advertising in Motion Picture Daily Herald. Kine Weekly was an oversized magazine so they are quite a good size - a little smaller than jumbo lobby cards for comparison. The subjects range from Lugosi, Fay Wray, Ann Harding, lured over to the UK in an effort to add a bit of prestige to a domestic production, to now largely forgotten UK players (Joan Gardner, Penelope Dudley Ward, anyone?). Also interesting to note that the Lugosi film was a Hammer Production. I always associate Hammer with their horror classics of the 50s and 60s but it shows how much longer a history they had.

They are unsigned so no idea who the artist may have been but most are striking likenesses.

I see that EMP has sold one copy of this Belgian, and they indicate it's a RR from the 1960's, possibly.

Is yours from earlier?

timelessmoviemagic · « **Reply #68 on:** February 15, 2017, 06:21:31 PM »

Hmmm that's strange Jeff.

I thought the one I had was an earlier one. The size doesn't tie up but I thought the numbers did at the bottom.

Anyway i only paid pittance for it.

erik1925 · « **Reply #69 on:** February 15, 2017, 06:35:02 PM »

Marc, I looked up Les Films Rene Schottey that is at the top of your poster, and it looks like they were a distributor in Belgium, possibly starting in the 1950s but I couldnt find that exact info.

HA sold this Belgian, for a film called Chained For Life (1952), with their name on it, as well. This was released in BE in 1956:

Yes Jeff I tried finding a bit more information about Les Rene Schottey as well but only came across the poster you mentioned from Heritage.
In fact I have that same poster lol.

That film featured the twins who starred in Freaks if I recall correctly.

Sadly they had a pretty rough life being exploited.

Sure sounds like it, Marc. Reading the little bio here on EMP that was included for this beautiful stage poster (Siamese Twins) showing both lovely sisters, sure sends that exploitation story home.
