Tarzan and the Mermaids U.K. Quad double bill.
« on: February 14, 2010, 12:08:43 PM »
I got this off a fellow when I bought a couple of posters from him. He was trying to say it was a Double crown, but it is plainly a Quad cut in half. When he realised this he gave it to me.

Anyone know when this was from and what the other part ( film ) of the poster was?  My guess is early 60's???

Sometimes double crowns were supplied on large sheets which were included with various publicity material. One printed sheet would have several double crown posters on it and then the onus would be on the cinema owner to cut out the double crowns. So if said owner's cutting skills were a little unwieldly, that might explain any uneven borders etc. 

You do also find double crowns which are, as you say, double bills cut in half. So either one of those options could be responsible for the size of your Tarzan poster
