She made nine films between 1956 and 1968 when she retired, but apparently wasn't comfortable acting. She was also a writer and also a businesswoman in the U.S.A. where she now resides.dedeposter said:Did Mijanou have much of a career?

Re: Homer's Odyssey 1912 Half Sheet - Any Earlier Film Posters Featuring A Creature/Monster?
What a great resource! Georges Méliès was insanely prolific! The Bewitched Inn and The Devil in a Convent I hadn't heard of and wonder if there's any ephemera on them.
Thank you for sharing!

Re: Rare Australian Posters Of Australian Films
There has been a delay in following up with this additional information, as some very interesting facts have now come to my attention. This new information will now require some more delving into that may take some time, An unexpected occurrence did take place with the distribution of this film.HONDO said:

Yes indeed 345 is the original 1981 version of My Bloody Valentine. I thought the Canada clue would do it, and three minutes later It was promptly proved to be the case. The film was remade and released in 2009 as My Bloody Valentine 3D.My Bloody Valentine?

Re: Poster Linen Backing Overkill
If it is senseless and you aren’t contemplating having one backed, why do we have another Hondo thread?
This passive, setup “the answer I want” posting for member manipulation is so confusing and frustrating.
Why do you want to know a price if you aren’t going to have anything backed, and think backing is senseless, etc.
You just want to make some statement/diatribe about how “this one poster was backed that didn’t need it and it sold for less than the value plus cost of backing but if they had kept it original it would have been worth about the same…”
If you had interest in Linenbacking or read any of the threads about restoration “that don’t interest you” but that now do but for no apparent reason - you would know that this happens all the time and this is why many people try to learn Linenbacking DIY I used to back daybills for $5-$10 of cotton duck, $3 worth of masa, and a few bucks for wheat paste and chems and watercolor pencils…
It is not the material cost - it’s the labor. It takes 15 minutes to stretch, 15 min to wash, 15-20 minutes to back and another 30 to touch up a straight forward daybill.
So $15 for materials, 1.5 hours labor plus overhead.
~$110 - $130 cost - add 10% to 12% profit = $150 for a basic $20-$24/hour art school graduate.
This is why Bruce can’t auction anything less than $50 average low item.
