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?
