After decades of trying to make our site view correctly on all browsers, we are going to more actively push for regular users to start using Chrome (either solely for our site, or for all browsing).

The same goes for emails. The oldest emails are the worst (hotmail, yahoo, and a few others) and now the microsoft domains have started blocking emails from small companies like ours. We have tried working with them for decades, but the far better solution is for our customers to get a gmail account (either solely for our site, or for all emailing).

Switching to Chrome and gmail will almost surely solve any problems, not just with us, but with almost all smaller businesses. 

I understand what you are saying but I think that is exactly what google wants - everyone using Chrome and gmail. I have concerns about the amount of control google has over business and this is just another example of where things are going.

This original 1932 pre code U.S.A. South Seas Adventures one sheet was only two years away from topless women being banned from being' included on film poster advertising. What I do find of interest though is the great difference in the race appearance depicted of the dancers compared to the people watching in the audience,,

This "artist's" work is so bad it is great (I imagine it is the same person who did the Godzilla).

I am not sure that there was only one artist involved as the artwork styles varies somewhat.

I find it hard to believe there are two artists SO incredibly awful! Maybe they are related (father/son)?

My thinking is as follows.

Lost in Alaska, Fireman Save My Child. Hobson's Choice (London) and Devil On Horseback (London) were all released in Australia By Universal International, so it certainly would appear that all these posters may have been from the same artist. As The Gay Dog (BEF) and Dunkirk (MGM) images have similar artwork a good chance that they were also produced by the same poster artist as well.

My thinking about the two Columbia Pictures The Jolson Story re-release and The Wild One probably re-release posters is that due to the colour and some better artwork,and  along with the F. Cunninghame credit is that these two posters were possibly produced by a one or even two different artists.

One thing that is certain though is that we will never know for sure, along with the Godzilla Regent film poster, who were responsible for all the artwork. in question.

That's because no one in their right mind would admit to being the "artist"!!!

  
Go Johnny Go! and Diabolicus Blake Film daybill posters. How cool is the Diabolicus artwork?
