Picked this up, an original Canadian one sheet for the 1951 Bogart film The Enforcer.  It was printed for French Canadians by an anglophone printer, as they obviously got the pronoun wrong (should be LA femme not LE femme....)

Nice litho... never folder in very good shape aside from the tear. I don't think its a RR given it was with several 1949-1951 posters.  Am I dreaming or did Matt flash one on this site in the past?

Crazy Vic....so glad to see you posting again. It's been a while. That Bogart is actually quite nice (tear and masculine "Le" aside... Actually I LIKE the "Le" mistake). Congratulations.

I lived in Quebec for 1 1/2 years.  Le Femme is a very insignificant French mistake in comparison to what you hear.  They think they speak French, but they really don't.  Thank God their women are hot!

I took French in high school in Texas. There was a native Québécoise in my class.

Surprisingly (or maybe not), she got some of the worst grades in the class.

But you know what, she was hot!

Thanks!  Pretty happy though I'm having a hard time putting a value on it, other than "priceless".  Maybe Dale or Bruce might have an idea?   

I picked up several others like this (silkscreens) this fall.  I also found several jazz and Beatles LPs in the trash last week behind a building in a very seedy part of town...the top and bottom ones were toast but the best records were sandwiched in the middle of the pile thus protected from the wet snow.

 I had zero expectations at the outset of the pandemic but several recent picks up have made this year a pretty memorable one. thumbsup.gif

Great to hear. Congratulations.  Sounds like you'll have something to post for the annual Favorite Purchases of the year thing. I look forward to seeing them.

Not exactly.  Just enough curiosity to realize two huge stacks of foot-by-foot squares behind a store might be worth pulling over.  A few hundred bucks in free records and saving them from the landfill...evidently it was the right call. 

Happy to send you a few LPs DinDin!   That Serbian techno shit is getting to you - clearly!  thumbsup.gif

I also picked up about 25 storyboards from the estate of a canadian film producer.  These are all film concepts that may or may not have been pitched but evidently never made it to the big screen.

Crazy Vick!!! Awesome stuff there. I especially love THE SMITHS poster (for such a great album). I also really dig HOUSE OF BLACKMAIL and RABID GRANNIES...and the storyboards. Fascinating! Well done, sir!

Hi Vick!

Was that the first Cineplex brand theatre in 1982 in the U.S.?  I can remember theatres with more than one screen much earlier than 1982, though wasn't sure what is defined as a Cineplex.  Though, hard to beat the old movie grand palaces with balconies, huge screens etc.  My best, Okie
