Yes you are indeed correct.Is C614 Mr Lucky (1943), that would be Cary Grant just out of frame. The TV clue gave it to me!

Weird it got released in colour. I thought they were going for that Universal vibe as well!dedeposter said:It has since been released on Disney+ in colour as well if you're interested, but I'd rather watch in B&W.MonsterAGoGo said:Interesting… it was purposely made in black & white? I remember the Marvel comic book in the 70s, but I never read it. I guess they were going for the look/feel of the old Universal classics? Thanks for the info.theartofmovieposters said:Werewolf by night (if i remember correctly) are made to look old...been ages since I saw mine, so could be wrong.
I dont remember much about the actual show (on Disney+) but I do recall enjoying the lead actors performance.
Was done in black and white...very atmospheric.
Re: Questions for Bruce-EMP
Did you know that there has never been a million dollar movie poster at public auction, but there have been multi-million dollar coins, stamps, baseball cards, classic cars, rare books, and comic books?
This is an amazing statistic! One by one, EVERY other major collectible has in the last few years (at the latest), first shattered the million dollar mark for the most wonderful item in that hobby, and then, there are not only ones that then sell for two or three million or much more, but there are also other "not as wonderful" items that start selling for stratospheric prices as well.
Yet not only has this NOT happened in the movie poster hobby, but we are not even very close. Many of the very highest priced reported sales are often items that later sell for FAR lower amounts of money, and it is still rare to see even a $50,000 or $100,000 poster, and many of the very best ones can still be purchased in the $10,000 to $25,000 range.
IS it "just a matter of time" before movie posters catch up to those other hobbies? There are clear signs it might. The last couple of years have seen some wealthy collectors surface and buy lots of the best of a specific type of poster or other movie paper collectible (with each different collector buying in a completely different area) and it seems very likely that, even if they are primarily doing so for the love of what they collect, they likely also think these are very undervalued, when compared to top items from other types of collectibles.
Look at it this way. A million dollars won't get you even ONE of the very best items in those other fields, but not only WILL it get you one of the very finest movie posters known to exist, but you would have enough left over to buy an entire amazing collection, maybe hundreds or thousands of great items!
And movie paper is now including a lot of items over a century old (making them "antique", rather than "collectible") and in just 15 years EVERY pre-1940 movie paper item will be an antique!
And only a small segment of the population can relate to comic books, or baseball cards, or the rest, but EVERYONE has favorite movies! I believe the question is not IF movie paper will catch up to those other fields, but rather WHEN just a small number of the world's top collectors realize how massively undervalued the best movie paper is!
Will it be a year, or decades? I don't know the answer to that question, but I do know that when that happens, many collectors will be shaking their heads and saying, "if only I had known"!

Certainly a great poster for your collection.MonsterAGoGo said:I agree. (I usually put my favorite poster of the bunch at the end.) It may be a military rerelease…but I’m thrilled to have it!Rick said:House of Dracula wins this lot!
I am thinking that this poster ties in with the 1950 Realart re-release. What are your thoughts?

Re: A Do You Know Your Classic Movies Quiz.
Correct. Casablanca from 1942,dedeposter said:C 615 has to be Casablanca then. - I also just got C614 from the clue but will leave that for someone else.
My earlier clue was for the short running television series from 1955-1956 of Casablanca, Actor Clarence Muse seen seated at the piano.
