A medium size, French (23.5 x 31.5 inches) poster for the flick, Moment Of Danger (1960), starring Dorothy Dandridge, Trevor Howard and Edmund Purdom.

That's nice Jeff!

Nice pick up!
(The WB is a little distracting though)

Those Warner Bros liked to let the public know when it was their movie.

mcfree · « **Reply #4 on:** March 01, 2018, 09:03:25 PM »

Indeed

I think the WB shield is great. Its bold, bright and works.

Thanks, Chris.

What drew me on it was that Dorothy Dandridge stars. I haven't seem much of her work, and I like her. So once again, this poster did its job and now has me on the lookout for it.

Who is the artist on that one?

Very striking, Warner logo 'n' all.

Nice one Jeff! The colors are great

Antoine1973 · « **Reply #9 on:** March 02, 2018, 08:09:39 AM »

I believe the art is by Constantin Belinsky.

Nice purchase, Jeff.

That is cool, Jeff, but it's not the WB logo that I find distracting...

The Wall - its seems that the Prince Charles Cinema in London produces its own posters. just a shame they wont sell them. This came off ebay.

Last Jedi - these are a set of 6 s/s quads used for the London Odeon cinema Premiere. taken by a worker doing a bit of restoration work at the time & im v.grateful that he didnt just bin them. They have marks in the corners abit like proof copies & have the date & time they were printed. Ive never seen a set before & was a little surprised they didnt go for more though im not complaining!

I always enjoy it when I see you've posted in the latest acquisitions thread! Those Star Wars quads are fantastic. I like the artwork, and appreciate the story of where they came from. Congratulations, you must be very happy.

m154cath · « **Reply #14 on:** March 03, 2018, 08:29:52 AM »

yup, pretty chuffed. I was watching them all week, messaged the seller if buy it now in mind & even offered more than i actually paid! The price was only £20 for the set with 10mins to go & i was just watching & waiting for the dealers to ruin my day! never materialised & only had, i think, 2 other bidders. treated the missus to a nice curry to celebrate

.
With Man in White Suit - the seller sold the poster for just shy of £90 - over my price range/bid - but then sent me a message - he had another. Excellent! Even better he sold it to me for my meagre £50 bid. Bonus! The wife didnt get a curry thou this time

skyjackers · « **Reply #15 on:** March 03, 2018, 10:45:47 AM »

I can well imagine how happy you were. Do you know where the other 2 are? I pressume they printed a Rey and Ren also?

m154cath · « **Reply #16 on:** March 03, 2018, 12:26:29 PM »

I did think that but the seller said he only saw 6 but who knows someone else may have got to them 1st. I'll try & hunt down some images of the premiere on Google to see if they were printed.

erik1925 · « **Reply #17 on:** March 03, 2018, 12:28:58 PM »

Nice adds there, Mike. All look to be in top condition, too.

Tob · « **Reply #18 on:** March 03, 2018, 12:49:45 PM »

Good stuff, Mike. Jealous of the SW and Man in the White suit quads!

skyjackers · « **Reply #19 on:** March 03, 2018, 01:20:15 PM »

I think there is a good chance they were printed. The European Premier was at The Royal Albert Hall and they had the more traditional posters mounted on board, strapped to the barriers. Maybe these were used inside the Cinema?

I got some pieces from the Dark Shadows Premiere and they had some different posters printed for inside of the venue to what was displayed outside for the cameras. In fact they had only 1 of a particular style that I was fortunate enough to get, literally just before it was about to be trashed. Priceless to me, worthless to everyone else!

After my purchase of the US one-sheet for The Mummy's Curse (1944) last month, I received today the 3-sheet for that same movie. There are obviously some condition issues, but I feel that they're not too distracting, as most of the damage is in the credit area.

erik1925 · « **Reply #21 on:** March 03, 2018, 09:21:05 PM »

Nice, Ben...

Isn't this the copy from ebay that we were discussing a short time ago?

Will you have it backed and "spruced up?"

Ah ha! So, that's where it ended up. I bid on it as well. Congratulations, Ben. Okie

I've asked the Prince Charles Cinema before for a poster and offered to buy some of their 70mm presentation quads but they rejected me too. The girl at the counter told me that they usually put the posters FOR FREE in an area near the ticket counter for whoever comes by. This is done only when all the screenings of that film is done. It's a thing of luck apparently - first come first served as I remember.

That was almost 3 years ago, not sure if the policy has changed.

Antoine1973 · « **Reply #24 on:** March 04, 2018, 12:57:44 AM »

Jeff, you are correct, this is the copy that recently sold on eBay. Given the condition issues, I waited until the price went down a bit when the seller listed it a second time with a lower starting bid. Obviously this is a good candidate for backing, but as you know, I'm very reluctant to back any poster, so I'm hesitant at this point. If I do decide to have it linen backed, I will refrain from any re-touching/airbrushing, only providing a support for the paper to ensure its future conservation. I'm not a big fan of the overly pristine look.

Sorry to have been bidding against you, Okie!
