Alright Paul, you've let us have our fun... you might as well go ahead and unleash your quad-ageddon upon us!

LOL, ya know Harry, I have been waiting for exactly the same thing..........

He might be all photo'd out after the Halloween thread.

Well, Here's a 1sht to start......That'll throw you all.

War posters are not my fortay, though I do have a few. I'll post this one as Harry may like it, it's very new for me.

And a couple of others.

Does this count?

Is that an original Casablanca? If so, I'm mildly impressed....

That Casablanca looks way too clean and glossy to be original.

Plus Paul is too busy buying up all the awesome horror quads to have the means to acqurie an original Casablanca

paul waines · « **Reply #33 on:** November 04, 2010, 02:30:39 PM »

Unfortunately it's the 2007 BFI re-release poster, So I don't think you'll be impressed in the slightest Mel. I was impressed I had a newish poster. Though I do have the original 1943 release U.K. F.O.H stills, Very rare, and even more so as I have a full set of 8.

Paul, your collection never ceases to amaze me you could open a gallery, and Harry that Patton quad is wonderful

All kidding aside, it's great! I love the BFI quads - had never seen that one before.

paul waines · « **Reply #39 on:** November 04, 2010, 04:04:20 PM »

There are some very nice BFI posters out there. Casablanca is one of them, and as will never be able to afford a first release, that will do nicely.

I would love to see those sometime! And nice Park Circus too... I at first thought it might be one of the R70s horizontal Italian 1-foglios I've seen floating around.

By the way, you may not think the quad war titles you have are all that impressive. However, you have to remember for us 1-sheet collectors, quads generally have MUCH more vibrant and dramatic artwork that totally fills the paper. Too many post-war 1-sheets have lackluster designs with half the posters taken up by large borders and a credit block over an all white or all black background -- the posters can almost seem segregated in a way. Those quads you have are just stunning and the credits seem to just disappear into the designs.

We just like to give you shit because we are standing here in awe. Please keep posting by all means!

I really want one of these. The lobby card looking similar to this would be a dream come true if I could have an original. I just love this poster.

Hey Paul - is the BFI Casablanca a full sized quad 30x40?

paul waines · « **Reply #43 on:** November 05, 2010, 03:01:18 AM »

Yes Chris all the BFI posters are full size quads. The British film Institute have prints of movies that can be hired out, and these are the posters for them.

Hi, Folks!

Here's a link to our Picasa Quadbod War film posters album showing images of our current stock in that genre.

I Always like to talk up the U.K. Quad as it's always been regarded as the poor second cousin to the U.S. 1sht in the poster world. I must admit in the last few years it does seem to be holding it's own. The more people see them, the more popular it becomes.

Where are all these War posters.

paul waines · « **Reply #47 on:** November 06, 2010, 01:01:06 PM »

Mostly for Harry, sorry for the poor pics My cheap camera is playing up.

U.K. F.O.H. stills form the 1943 release of Casablanca. These should not exist as, they were printed during the 2nd world war, and on non-sensitzed paper, as can be seen stated top left.

brude · « **Reply #48 on:** November 06, 2010, 01:16:11 PM »

Wow, those stills are the shit, Paul.
Great choice of scenes...great B&W tones...awesome..
Is that a complete set?

stewart boyle · « **Reply #49 on:** November 06, 2010, 01:18:39 PM »

No fading or discoloration in any of those stills...marvellous.
