Had this arrive today. I'd been on the lookout for one for a while and spotted this copy that new APF member nitewalk (Brian) had listed last week. The image is a little grainy as it was taken in a more shaded area, and i had to boost the exposure a bit.

Sweet-tastic poster, Jeff. The hyper-red colorization viscerally depicts Lecter's incarnate evil.

Who can forget that Hopkins absolutely nailed Lecter's fascinating vileness. No surprise he landed the BA Oscar with only 20 mins. screen time...

One of the Top 5 Elvis posters IMO.

Some of the musical performances are stellar:

But watching the trailer reminds me that Elvis was a C- actor on a good day:

The second I saw this I thought it is the best modern-style photomontage MP EVER. The femmes are ludicrously elegant and graceful, as is the cursive title. Cutting off the dude is a minor flaw IMO.

Flat-out cool is all I need to say....

Thanks, Mel. I've also read commentary that Elvis himself knew he wasnt all that good of an actor and was basically cast to push and promote his music with films using his hits as a way to further promote them. He claimed that many of his roles were basically the same and he got bored/typecast. Different names and scenarios but basically the same kinda guy.

The one film I remember liking him in (and the rest of the cast), was Flaming Star (1960), where he played a "half breed" American Indian named Pacer Burton. I enjoyed the story line and particularly liked the actress that played his Indian mother - Dolores del Rio.

Yeah he really should have focused on his recording career but the movie fame and money were too hard to reject.

He did make a stellar, although temporary, recovery with the 68 Comeback Special:

erik1925 · « **Reply #31 on:** July 04, 2017, 03:05:56 AM »

TV specials, Im sure he enjoyed, as they promoted "Elvis, the rock & roller." That was his forte'. He was comfortable and in his natural element. And playing no character but himself.

Nice grabs so far this month!

Mel - I'm really drawn to that Beguiled poster as well. A great example of a poster whose whole is better than its parts.

Jeff - That SOTL OS is iconic for sure, looks to be in nice condition too!

T. - Amazing as always...

Put my nose to the ground, and started looking for a Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Bryanston style, that was in nice shape for a good price about a month ago. I found a handful that were in conditions I would have accepted except they all hand pinholes. No matter how clean the paper, I've got a big aversion to pinholes so I held out, and glad I did. I found the one below that is very clean at a great price with no rips/tears, and no pinholes. It's got some flattening ahead of it, but aside from that, I'm happy to have one of these in my hands.

Nice pickup there, Chris. And thanks. SOTL is rolled and looks to have never been used.

Especially when it's a poster you've been on the search for. I know we all can relate to that good feeling when it's finally snagged.

Wow! That TCM is in amazing condition! Nice score

I've always loved this poster for its tagline and simplicity. One can only imagine how difficult it must have been to advertise this movie at the time. They did a great job.

Thanks to Rich's accommodating Pay and Hold service, this has now arrived:

Nice pickup, Steve!

You can't go wrong with Jane Mansfield AND Cary Grant.

I dont know this flicker, (Kiss Them For Me-1957) but am now curious to check it out.

COO ? Belgian!

The size... I believe it to be 14 3/4" x 22" but I didn't measure it, it seems bigger than my other Belgians, but I haven't seen them for years so I'm likely confused. Here is a photo with a pen in it for scale.

Jeff That Lambs is awesome! One day I will own the blue version.

Chris I have always adored this Massacre poster. I am glad you find one too!!! Condition looks nice too.

T I agree, advertising Massacre during that time must have been crazy. Might explain why some of the paper is so scarce, like the Thai version.
