The Umbrellas of Cherbourg - Korean re-released

Lux — Wed, 14 Jun 2023 14:32:05 +0000

Hi all !

I just found those amazing posters online and I wonder how I could get an original.

Those are Korean re-released poster from 2019.

Nothing on Ebay, nothing on Emovieposter or Hertage Auctions... Not even sure they were printed at all ! All I know is they printed some small leaflet posters.

Any idea on how I could find them? Any Korean sites?

Thanks !

Australian 3 Sheets

HONDO — Tue, 30 Jun 2015 06:55:00 +0000

Most of my poster research over the years has been directed towards daybills and Australian one sheets with less emphasis on tracking down other poster paper.I am suddenly interested in Australian 3 sheets and who printed them. If you have any 3 sheets and would like to have a look and advise the printers name it would be appreciated.

24 Sheet Billboard Posters

HONDO — Fri, 26 Jun 2015 16:15:00 +0000

24 sheet U.S. Billboard Poster.

I would like to do a little research on the 24 sheet billboard poster. Are there any known existing Australian 24 sheets still in existence. There were no returns of these posters so only warehouse stock , if any, would have been left over. Very little is written about this style so I am eager to learn more about them and to see some images if anyone has any.

Were Australian one-sheets or daybills displayed at Australian theaters when you were growing up?

Bruce — Wed, 08 Aug 2018 12:40:00 +0000

Something I have wondered about for the native Australians here:

When I grew up in New York in the 1960s, there were all sorts of posters and lobby cards, but my two local theaters only used one-sheets. How about your Australian theaters?

Were Australian one-sheets or daybills displayed at Australian theaters when you were growing up or were both displayed?

The rise of Skywalker / Dolby poster

matee — Wed, 11 Dec 2019 21:02:00 +0000

Hi, I recently got a chance to acquire this fabulous version of Dolby poster for The rise of Skywalker. However I'm not sure whether it's an original cinema poster... The poster is approx 12x18 and the guy said that they were giving this away in one of the NYC Dolby cinemas as a promotion... Any thoughts about this? I'm not familiar with Dolby posters that much.. Do they have DS 1SH versions that are considered the only "legit" original movie posters? I would appreciate any help about this:) Thank you very much.

PLS HELP

Hi all,

Smashing the Money Ring vs Over The Wall

theartofmovieposters — Fri, 16 Mar 2018 03:35:00 +0000

Ok, so I found this daybill I forgot I had.
On closer inspection the title and cast have been over-printed.
The daybill is actually for an earlier film titled Over The Wall staring Dick Foran from 1938.

Would you leave it as it is, or would you take off the over print and restore it to its real state? I dunno if that is even possible, it is quite thick paint!

Thoughts?

Did you know that there was a program in 1918 (during World War) I to recycle U.S. movie magazines?

Did you know that there was a program in 1918 (during World War) I to recycle U.S. movie magazines to "our boys" overseas?

eMoviePoster.com has been auctioning a great collection of movie magazines from the 1910s and 1920s, and we noticed something very cool about several of the ones from 1918 (starting a few months after the U.S. entered World Was I).

On those magazines (several of the most popular titles of that time), there is a cool notice in a tiny rectangle on the front cover that says (the wording, size, and placement varies slightly from magazine to magazine):

"Notice to Reader: When you finish reading this magazine, place a one cent stamp on this notice, hand same to any postal employee and it will be placed in the hands of our soldiers or sailors at the front. NO WRAPPING - NO ADDRESS. A.S. Burleson, Postmaster General."

What a great program this was that they ran back during World War I. I bet it made the lives of lonely servicemen overseas far nicer. And I bet you were thinking that "recycling" did not start until the 1960s!

Here is a magazine that has this notice.

And here is a closeup of that notice:

A Christmas Carol / Scrooge (1951) - daybill?

Pancho — Sun, 13 Nov 2016 22:41:00 +0000

Hi guys and gals!

I watched this film last night and realised that I don't think I've ever seen a daybill for it. Does anyone know if the film was shown in Australian cinemas?

If the printer was going to stuff up, surely they could have picked a more appropriate poster to ruin

Going Ape To Promote A Film Release.

HONDO — Mon, 03 Jul 2017 02:54:00 +0000

Newcastle , N.S.W. Australia newspaper publicity 13th & 14th October 1949 for Mr. Joseph Young Of Africa ( Mighty Joe Young, 1949 ), along with the Australian daybill image that has surfaced recently. The ''gorilla'' seemed to have done a little travelling to promote the film. From a Miscellaneous Notice that appeared in the Illawarra Mercury N.S.W. newspaper - '' Mr. Joseph Young Of Africa, the Gorilla Man, will arrive at Wollongong Railway station at 10.30 a.m. on Friday, November 4, 1949.'' I hope the ''Gorilla'' received plenty of bananas for his appearances.

Mazurka daybills

Pancho — Wed, 14 Sep 2016 00:46:00 +0000

Hi guys and gals!

Most of you would be aware that I collect exploitation daybills. I've been piecing together a set of what are generally called the 'Mazurka' or 'Bedside' films - a series of 8 European softcore films. So far I've been able to hunt down 5 of the titles (plus variants) and part of the challenge is figuring out what title the film was released as in Australia (foreign language films often seem to get imaginative titles down under). It is my belief that all 8 films were released in Australian cinemas between 1970 and 1981. The three titles that I can't source are known under the following titles: The 4th film: Bedside Highway / Highway Through The Bedroom, The 7th film: Jumpin' At The Bedside / Danish Escort Girls and the 8th film: Bedside Sailors / Danish Sailors. Any help with the missing 3 posters would be very appreciated! I'm thinking any title that mentions Denmark or Danish might be a possibility!

Here are some images for you. The double bill with 'The Perfumed Garden' is an interesting poster. Although 'Bedroom Mazurka' showed as a double feature with it for ages, I cannot find out what movie it actually is!!

I have 2 colour variants of 'Bedside Dentist' ( a red/white and green/white) as well that I haven't posted.

Overstreet Guide to Collecting Movie Posters

Well I was able to get a plug for VMPF in the Overstreet guide. They gave me four pages for the interview I submitted... Summed it up by stating I started VMPF with my two poster buddies... Not sure I can reproduce the pages but it is quite a treat!
