I am absolutely amazed at this Charlie. I honestly thought this one might be beyond saving. Any mention of the term amateur needs to be removed from your restoration abilities. I've seen many a restored poster by "professionals" that would not compare and you aren't even done yet.
I can't wait to get this one back and display it proudly alongside my daybills done by Susan O...something nice about having something worked on by fellow hobbyists!
I salute you sir!
Re: Poster Shows and Dealer Booths!
Nice stuff Charlie. It's always great to see lots of posters on display (even temporary display!)

Yep artwork on the WE Smith is way better but colourcraft nailed the shine reflection in his Top hat.

Re: Haul Breakdown
Red Skies Of Montana I like and the first daybill image I have seen of this title, but why were 20th Century Fox so stingy with having credits appear on their posters.

Re: What do you expect when you send your poster off for restoration?
Can we add a poll option for "I expect to receive a tube that isn't empty"?

Perfect . The Three Hours To Kill daybill I have never been keen on as it partly obscures Donna Reed's lovely face. The W.E.Smith artist copied from the U.S. 3 sheet which is the same. Had they copied from the U.S. insert it would have been perfect as Donna's face isn't obscured at all on the insert.

Re: Re-release over First release posters
Original for me, though I can see the attraction to the RR, just too much yellow for my liking!

But it was Faye that read it wrong. Warren was trying to have here read the card...

Bruce said:Not quite right. There were FIVE compilation movies created out of episodes of this classic TV series. They were apparently solely shown outside the U.S. (which makes sense, since the episodes had been shown on TV in the U.S.), and we know that it is likely that one-sheets and lobby card sets were created for all five compilation features, but one-sheets from them are quite rare, and lobby cards are even more rare (which also makes sense, since lobby cards would have been far less likely to have been used in other countries). The titles were Superman in Scotland Yard, Superman and the Jungle Devil, Superman Flies Again, Superman in Exile, and Superman's Peril. The only reason I know so much about these titles is because a pressbook was created for all five features, and I only once auctioned it, and it sold for $412!HONDO said:Image of George Reeves not as good as the daybill image, but nevertheless nice. Extremely rare, and of the four different Superman 20th Century Fox 1950's daybill titles, the first time I have seen an Australian one sheet of any of them.
I hadn't said there were only four compilation Superman movies. I was only talking about the four titles with known daybill images available to see. Your archives show that an Australian daybill of Superman And The Jungle Devil was sold on 8 / 15 /2000. Unfortunately an image isn't available. Perhaps Bruce may be able to ask Matt if he is able to retrieve the image and instate it on the eMovieposter website and also post it here, as I am sure there are a lot of members that would be very keen to sight it.
