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.

Re: A Do You Know Your Classic Movies Quiz.
Yes you have worked it out as C659 is indeed They Won't Forget. An excellent but little known film today that is well worth seeking out.dedeposter said:Ah, that narrows it down! Looks like Confederate soldiers....so, is it They Won't Forget (1937)?
This film was based on a real life notorious murder case and lynching. Lana Turner made her feature film debut playing a teenage murder victim.

The unknown size thing is an ad from a magazine, great art though.

Re: Hondo's This And That
I agree with your thinking that supports my belief. 100% convinced that it is indeed a daybill printed poster. Multiple designed daybills with up to at least four different designs are known to have been printed. The following What Price Glory film from 1927 had four different daybill designs printed for it as seen following below.darolo said:Yes, Ben Hur is a horizontal daybill. Ir was the biggest publicised movie to that time in cinema history, so expect extra special advertising. I don't think a press sheet exists but I figure there would have been multiple daybill designs.
