I watched the first one and didn't find it funny. Never saw the sequels.

Agree 100%, and that is why I don't watch modern American comedy films.dedeposter said:Look, it made lots of money, and made a lot of people laugh...but I find a lot of modern comedy very forced.

The black and white lobby cards are also on heavy card stock. They images have been taken from stills and enlarged to fit the 11 x 14 format and they often added a text box with the title and stars plus distribution details. I really have no idea how they produced these black and white cards but they do tend to oxidise slightly over time.

The Into the Straight lobby cards are on card stock, same thickness and feel as other lobby cards from the era. Here is another example where the lobby cards are printed on card stock.HONDO said:HONDO said:Do you remember though if the paper quality of these cards was similar to other normally printed colour lobby cards?Are you able to comment John on Peter's above statement regarding the colourised lobby cards feeling like photographic paper?dedeposter said:No, it felt like photographic paper, certainly not like US lobby cards.
What is the quality of the above Inside the Straight Universal--International card, but particularly I am interested in the type of paper material used with the Cinesound /BEF colourised lobby cards when compaed to the original same black and white versions.

Re: Rare Australian Posters Of Australian Films
Thanks John for the image. How rare is this film or any posters printed for it? Odds On was released in Australia in 1928.

An interesting claim on the image of Phyllis Gibbs from that period of time. She only made the one film Qdds On in Australia.

That's what they remind me of, old hand coloured photos. My parents' wedding photo is like that.HONDO said:My wife was employed as a hand colourist of photographs, both here and in the U.S.A. I am certain there wasn't available any form of machine colouring in the day. I don't believe that there were any printer credits showing on lobby cards.(X Marks The Shop)
Interestingly an original black and white 1939 lobby card showing a different pose than the one appearing on the colourised card.
