Re: Hondo's This And That
Just stumbled upon who it is...and why she was drawn to resemble Brigitte Bardot, but I'll leave it up to you to explain who it is. The cunning powers of marketing!
Re: Hondo's Daybill and One Sheet Q&A [Re-Titled]
I think in a lot of those cases of bad artwork on poorly drawn posters it's a matter of "just draw a poster for me before you go on your lunch break". Very little time allocated to the design and execution of the designs. It really looks like they were given to a work experience junior to get some experience on. God knows what effort we'd have if they'd tried to copy the original daybill!. Forgive me if I'm denigrating the "artists" who drew the designs...but really!
Re: Poster Linen Backing Overkill
Linenbacking ANY poster that would sell for under $100 unbacked is truly throwing money away.
Yet people do it all the time. The only benefit is to the buyer, who often gets a steal, assuming the linenbacking was well done in the first place.
There are a number of linenbackers who should stop what they are doing, due to a lack of skills.

Re: Poster Linen Backing Overkill
I've only linen backed a few posters and that was because they needed repairs - King Kong, Psycho and Jailhouse Rock - all good titles. I've seen many examples of linenbacked posters where the cost of the backing would have been more than the value of the poster. Ridiculous.

Re: Rare Australian Posters Of Australian Films
An extremely rare Australian 15'' x 23'' Australian daybill poster of Stallion Of The Sea. The film was originally classified by the Australian film censor on 01 January 1982 on 16mm running 125 minutes under the longer title of In Search of the Stallion Of The Sea
What is very interesting though is that if you search Google sites such IMDb, and Wikipedia, along with general Google searching nothing on the two film titles, along with Jack Thompson appearing in it, is located, with the exception of one mention that states that this film was from 1973,
Very odd infeed. Did it then take nine years to have the film classified for release?

The Naked Spur original Australian daybill and the shortened incorrectly titled Naked Spur poster that would appear the printer's had little artwork to have assisted the poster artist.
