No, it felt like photographic paper, certainly not like US lobby cards.
Re: Rare Australian Posters Of Australian Films
I really probably haven't seen that many in total, but more than I'd have expected to see over the years. Usually just singles in small amounts, not whole sets. They would just randomly appear in places that had daybills for sale (Like Space Age books, and odd little antique shops). I didn't realise in my early days of collecting that they were genuine lobby cards, I thought they must have been cheap photo prints done by individual cinemas, that's why I never really collected them.

Thanks Hondo. That adds some new info 😊
And not unusual that HA’s descriptions aren’t accurate for some Australian posters.
I guess the missing piece now is an image of a ‘53 One Sheet?

Re: A Do You Know Your Classic Movies Quiz.
Correct, it is indeed the film in question. The actress featured being Prunella Scales, seen below in a scene from the film with Charles Laughton.dedeposter said:C662 is it Hobson's Choice from 1954?

Prunella Scales, seen below with John Cleese in the classic British comedy series Falty Towers.

Re: Actresses Legs Quiz
I have it, but it involved some fancy image searching. Good clue. Hopefully it triggers something for someone else.

HONDO said:For anyone that is interested in this subject you can visit or revisit my GoneTo The Dogs entry that was included here in this thread during July 2024, when the colourisation of lobby cards was discussed extensively..
Before I comment any further on this subject I would love to hear from anyone that either believes the colourisation / tinting of lobby cards was applied for first release or re-release screenings.
Were colourised / tinted lobby cards produced for first release or re-release distribution? No responses yet, but It would be great to hear any views on this question.HONDO said:Aniyone else? Any comments would be appreciated.

ESB video poster - is it that rare?
I saw this Empire Strikes Back video poster sell on emovieposter for $1600USD ($2279A).
It prompted a mad search to find my copy. I eventually found it consigned to a storage tub in the garage. I had no idea it would be worth so much, even if mine has some damage

Re: The Horror Quiz
Correct and well done. 2012 was actually the release date of the film.dedeposter said:Ah! Finally got 348 - in my mind I was thinking The Woman In White...but that got me nowhere with searches, so then found The Woman In Black (2013). All the clues were there!

I saw an excellent stage play version in Sydney in 1991 which starred famed British film actor Richard Todd. The Woman in Black is the second longest running non-musical play in West End London history, after The Mousetrap, playing between 1989 and the 4th of March 2023 with 13,232 performances given.
