Re: FLASH GORDON. I HAVE QUESTIONS.
I think what you have is a copy of the original daybill that was done over a number of pages and stuck together.

This one here seems to show where the printing of the original border stops and the paper or whatever it is printed on starts...

Re: FLASH GORDON. I HAVE QUESTIONS.
Interesting. So the feeling is consistent no actual fold line or damage.rothrockbc said:This damage line.. printed that way

Re: Restoration pitfalls.
sorry but that is not a good restoration. The colours look brighter but the flying dog looks silly and why not complete the title? It looks like an okay job of linen-backing and cleaning but restoration incomplete

Re: Restoration pitfalls.
A very long time dealer (and good friend of mine) was with me at a major auction (that shall remain nameless) and he looked over the posters on display (many of which had tons of restoration) and he said "these look like they have been dipped in paint". That phrase stuck with me, and I now use it myself to describe over-restored posters.
I have two complaints with this technique. While the posters look better NOW, the restoration paint often ages far differently than the poster, and becomes super-noticeable over time. And that can be very expensive (and difficult) to address down the line. And just as bad, these posters are often passed off as having "minor restoration" to newer collectors.
I have had abominations that were massively repainted consigned to me, and I have looked them up at other auctions they were sold at, and the extent of the restoration was barely hinted at. Bah

Re: Jedda
Thanks for the information Paul. Unfortunately I am unable to obtain an image off Ric Chauvel Carlsson. He intends to display this image for the first time as part of a future project that he is working on. Please inform us if any more information is obtained by you.Paul said:OK, So far. It went out in July 56 for a trade screening, Went on general release on 13th Aug 56 with Eyewitness, but was cut down to 61 mins. There was a TV 15MIN short shown in 55 only on TV, under the title Jedda the Uncivilised. So it's possible the short may have went out, under that title and still got the A Cert. But this is only speculation, as it seems it was just interviews.. The film did seem to sit around for a while, so the Uncivilised cards may have been made up, but a title change scrapped them..?? A Quad may have went the same way. But I can't say I've seen a Quad with the Uncivilised title.. Any pics of it Lawerence.?

Re: February/March 2022
One day they HAVE to surface. Can't say I've seen crapload of Hour Before the Dawn Aussie OS on the market over the years!CSM_2_Point_0 said:Well I replaced my stolen Hour Before the Dawn Aussie with a US OS. Now I have replaced my stolen Lost Weekend US OS with an Aussie. Maybe it balances out somehow
Great that you went after and picked up another copy of this one (better Aussie version too

HONDO: Hey, thanks for sharing that. I'm glad they used the same cheesy poster art, but too bad it wasn't in full color. It loses a lot not being in color. Thanks for visiting the thread. CHEERS!HONDO said:
Just in case you may not have seen it before, an image of a rare Australian daybill that used the original U.S.A, artwork Blood is shown but it is only displayed in black and not red, which makes it less effective..
rockabilly777: Ha! Thank you for such an enthusiastic response. Jeepers! So far, all of this that I've posted is just within the confines of my bedroom. Ha! There's a LOT more wall space available. Stay tuned. CHEERS!rockabilly777 said:Monstrously awesome! Sleeze-tastically spectacular! An avalanche of B movie confectionary! Props and masks and posters on walls - oh my!!

210 is one of the finest "thinking person's" sci-fi movies, When Worlds Collide. Excellent special effects too!

Re: Rockabilly's poster collection
Thanks as always, MAGG-a-blood spattered tiki god! (filmed, of course in thrilling stereoscopic shriek-o-vision)
Yeah, no shame here. I know there's a significant chunk of our population who are deeply closeted appreciators of automotive culture relics of days past. I'm just here to help out and feed their need. Lurk if they must, but I'm happy to provide the service.
I have waaaaaaaay too many posters of all kinds already, but until I can shake the disease (as our pals in Depeche Mode would say), I suppose I'll keep filling the many voids in life with purchases of posters and other associated trinketry.

Re: Rockabilly's poster collection
A-ha! THAT name I most certainly DO recognize. It is wonderful to know there are a few females in the hobby as well. I've only known one thus far. I wonder why that is...
