Attention, ye mockers. "But know" that I have room for six insert frames in my abode of wonderment.  However, I must restrain myself lest I descend further into the valley of debt....

Six $40 insert frames is where you draw the line?  Really? :D

It's a good pair of titles, but it doesn't really fit the theme of being born to be an insert.

In my view, this is little more than 3 lobby cards pieced together.  A good insert should have a strong vertical element, and all three sections of this are all horizontal (landscape) composition.

Or perhaps it is just sour grapes on my part :)

Well I quite like it and it has found a permanent home in my office.  Those of you who like plenty of white wall space will like this arrangement:

Sorry if I gave the wrong impression.  It is an OK poster with iconic titles and will show well.  I got nothing against inserts and currently have 8 on display on my own narrow walls (example below).  I was just saying that it doesn't fit the topic of posters which are BORN to be inserts.

Cannery Row is such an underrated film.
Nice poster, Jay.

So a colleague walked in today and said, totally unprompted:

"I LOVE that Vertigo insert."

Take that, haters  :-*

I need to see this anonymous colleague's qualifications prior to accepting their judgment...

For instance where are they on the Star Accumulation Scale?

Guys... it was a ''she'' who said that.. and you bet she just needed a quick glance to know what she was looking at.  Not as large as a poster, thank God not as small as a herald. It is clearly an insert.

The inches said it all. Women you see. We know about these things.

Any other queries?

If that's true I suspect a lot of the "Horny APF Bastards" are going to be feeling short changed...

Not much outing.  I think everyone knows its there.

But, yep, I think that one is born to be an insert.

That is top-notch, Charlie.  thumbup

I don't know if I've already posted this pic, but here's another insert that really works for me.
The design mentality of the era is evident in every square inch of this poster.
It is absolutely magnificent.



I was gonna post it in the Universal Monsters thread but Inserts are under-rated and over-looked.

And yes, I own 17 of these.

Bravo, Rosa.  Both of those have that sense of major vertical composition that makes a great insert.
