Not sure if we've had this before (I can't find it). Took me a while to see it
Re: Musical Film Quiz
For image # 88 I was really hoping the Republic Production logo clue would have been enough to have solved it. Seeing I have included the image here for now ten days, I will not drag it on any longer.
The answer is Bal Tabarin, which was originally released in 1952.

Re: Questions for Bruce-EMP
Remember "Professor Leonard Powers"?
Amazingly his page from 2003 is still online at https://www.angelfire.com/stars4/mymovieposters/aboutme.htm
He notes:
"It was during my last few years at NSS and for several years after that I had sold approximately 10 times more posters (in quantity & monetary value) than Bruce Hershenson has in his short career in the field."
Since I am now over $107 million in sales, the Professor is likely over a BILLION!
And who in the world calls themselves "Professor", other that Professor Irwin Corey and the Professor from Gilligan's Island?

1930's Die Grosse Fahrt
Even if you are an incredibly major film buff, I bet you (and all your friends) don't know that The Big Trail (John Wayne's first chance at stardom, all the way back in 1930) was shot in FIVE languages simultaneously, with FIVE actors playing the lead role! The five languages were English, Italian, French, Spanish, and German!
The Italian version starred Franco Corsaro and Luisa Caselotti and was called "Il Grande Sentiero". The French version starred Gaston Glass and Jeanne Helbling and was called "La Piste des Geants". The Spanish version starred George J. Lewis and Carmen Guerrero and was called "La Gran Jornada". The German version starred Theo Shall and Marion Lessing and was called "Die Grosse Fahrt".
They are exactly the same movies, except for the language difference and the different cast (this is very similar to the 1931 U.S. and Mexican versions of "Dracula"), except imagine the difficulty of shooting five different versions all at one time, likely using the same sets!
I did not know any of this either, until I was consigned this great still, which is at auction at http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=6261604
And I bet they won't be releasing another movie called "Die Grosse Fahrt" anytime soon!

Re: The Horror Quiz
Correct and well worked out. The film was made as a theatrical film, but how it got a green light to be made amazes me.jayn_j said:238 is Night of the Lepus (1972)
Really bad film about giant killer bunny rabbits. I recall this asap TV movie, but imdb says there was a theatrical release f8rst
Posters and trailers for the movie did not feature any rabbits. Marketers feared that audiences would not take the movie seriously if they found out about the giant killer rabbits too quickly. ( IMDb )
Image this image on a film poster. and then the stampede to cinemas that it would have created.
But wait there's more. This interesting re-titled poster from what appears to be West Germany combined traditional rabbit teeth with multiple bottom teeth including two large fangs. Apart from the two top teeth the animal image doesn't look at all like a rabbit.
A frightening scene of marauding mutant rabbits as it appears in the film.
