I looked on the pages of a pressbook, after posting, and dont see it there.

More fine, fictional photoshopping, perhaps?

Best to set aside, until verified, one way or the other.

I'd like to add a more modern, softer touch of the 8th Wonder of the World, if you all don't mind.

Hooray for boobies!

The Style A 3 Sheet is the best movie poster of all time. There. I said it.

Great thread Matt!

Sorry for the crappy image, but this German Poster is right up there with the 3 sheet. There is a great photo of it in one of my auction catalogs, but I couldn't find one on the internets $:-\$

Yes, April 7 marks 80 years. I've been promoting it on tumblr and am constructing a gif recreation of the film.
These are just a few of the images I have already found.

Nice posters everyone.

All for the low price of $2,600. That is very cool Bruce. Honestly if I had that type of money sitting around I would bid on it. But at that price it is way out of the ball park for me.
