Oops, my bad!
The horizontal format for one sheets is definitely not very common.

Hey Matias, Ive always wondered-- Are these posters first releases? The reason I ask, is them both having been done in monochrome. Argentina did such beautifully rendered, multi-colored stone litho posters in the 30s, 40s 50s etc.

If these are 1st releases, have you ever read or learned why each was done in just the the one color and with art that isn't as detailed?

(Just little side observations: It is interesting, too, that the DRAC poster doesn't have the Universal logo or any production credits, aside from the listed actors).

I wonder the same Jeff... The most important reason I believe they're first releases is that full color version are yet to be seen.  :D
One of the reasons the Dracula has a monochrome poster could be that Universal didn't think local audiences would fill up theaters to see a horror film, so they decided to not spend a lot on promotion.
Given it WAS a hit not only here but worldwide, that clearly changed after Dracula. Local posters for 30s Uni-horror films (Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein and The Raven to name a few) are full color.
The "Universal Pictures Corp. of Argentina" is the denomination the studio had locally in the early 30s. It was changed to Universal films of Argentina S.A. in the 40s.
The reason the Wolfman was made monochrome, could be also that Universal was not financially strong at the start of the 40s decade...

Hey Matias,

Once again, thank you. I love reading and learning about all of this poster history. It's fascinating.  :D

As you said, The Raven, BOF, and FRANKIE were done in  color, with beautifully rendered artwork, and even going back, a little further, is the classic OS for 1927's London After Midnight, thought that was MGM.

cheers again!

Matias, is it also possible that Uni-Argentina decided not to spend as much on advertising for the Spanish version of Dracula? Again, just tossing out a thought, here.

It would certainly seem detrimental to the studio, considering where that poster was being used, tho.  dontknow.gif

LOL. nah.. it's all good!   thumbsup.gif

Plus, I was going off your other comment suggested that because it was a horror film, too, that might have been why the ad/marketing budget wasnt as high:

"One of the reasons the Dracula has a monochrome poster could be that Universal didn't think local audiences would fill up theaters to see a horror film, so they decided to not spend a lot on promotion."

Wildcats is one of my wife's favorite 1980s comedies so I couldn't resist when EMP auctioned this "unique" Wildcats poster from Argentina.  Not that any married man would even suggest this be put on the wall.... ;D

Hi there,

Is there anyone here who is an expert in Argentinean posters, or have sources, or maybe even lining in Argentina? I recently saw an Argentinean poster from the '80s, and i really would like to have it in my collection. Nothing fancy, not even a famous movie, but i just like the design. Anybody?

thanks!

Hey Stripe, did you ever end up finding or getting this poster? If so, what movie was it for?

Arg. OS for the Austrian film called Noch Minderjährig (1957) aka Under 18 (in English speaking countries).

Adding it to this thread, too, with closeup pics of the 2 logos on the poster. Europa Films was the Brazilian-based distributor who handled the film in South America and Sascha (Sascha-Film) was the Austrian film production company that produced the film (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sascha-Film), along with producer (and actress/star of the film) Paula Wessely.

Artist possibly ID'd? Im not sure but I thought it worth tossing out there. I have a couple Arg. OS that bear this mark, which could be the artist's mark:

My detail pic. The poster has no artist's signature, just the same, "Omega-W" mark (full image is here: http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,8935.msg191013.html#msg191013)




I recently came across another Arg. poster from the 1940s that bore this same mark AND was also signed by the artist, whose last name was Moraga. Perhaps this is the same artist? I dont know, but perhaps it could be?  dontknow.gif

More sherlocking needed.  sherlockholmes.gif

Here are a couple closeup images:





Other Moraga posters are shown here but I dont know if the small W-Omega looking mark is on any of them:

I suspect the "omega W" signature is from the litographer. Can't prove it though...

It very well could be a lithographer's mark. Dunno.  dontknow.gif

It would be great to figure it out for certain, as the symbol itself is very cool looking.

With it appearing on a good number of posters from various studios (meaning film releases from differing studios), one would think that this mark could be identified. Yet another, potential poster mystery to be solved.

I picked this up about 4 years ago but dont think I ever posted it.

It's the ARG OS for Kurosawa's Yojimbo (1961). The drawn art is really done well, imo, as is the overall design and layout.
