Not a patch on its Italian counterpart, but finding Diana Dors on this Aussie Tread Softly Stranger was a still a nice find today, even more so finding Carry On Teacher tucked behind it.

Nice! Actually as sequels and prequels go, those two were pretty darn good! Even more so when viewed at an IMAX.

Love the Forbidden Planet concept, maybe you should get the original Robby suit to go with it?

A pity Russell Crowe's position wasn't switched with Spacey's, obviously star status dictated the layout, but always nice to have a 'Kiwi' in front of an 'Aussie' (Guy Pierce)... let the abuse commence!

Cheers dude, it's a bit worse for wear, but definitely the end of westerns for a while! Sights are now set on Bruce's December auction for the SW 6 Sheet

Yet another western, but at least this time it's an Aussie!
Following on from the earlier daybill and sepia lobby card, I picked up a nice group of inserts and half Sheets today.
A bit of a strange addition today that's obviously been subjected to a bit of 'DIY' by a previous owner.
Rather than having it backed and restored accordingly, they opted to photocopy the good letters, then cut them out and stick them ove…(Quote) Apart from the staple marks it's actually not looking to shabby mate, I'm off to hunt around where it came from on Sunday, so I expect to have a few more (early western) title cards in my collection shortly.
As noted earlier, it…(Quote) Just what I was thinking, it's funny how the cowboys looked so 'dapper' in those early days of film.Not exactly a huge purchase, but definitely a surprising find. Colonel Tim McCoy in 'Two Fisted Law' 1932 Lobby card. I've never see this film, but can only assume it was a world apart from Sergio Leone?in October 2017 Comment by Wil October 2017
Not that I'm bagging Bruce either, as over the years I've bagged plenty of bargains!, I'm more envious of the 'deeper pockets' that others are now bringing to the table.The last thing I bid on was that Dirty Harry 'Special' the other day, with the mass of pin holes and the tape stain bleeding through, I thought $200 would have nailed it, I was wrongin October 2017 Comment by Wil October 2017
(Quote) Agree, the insert wasn't much better.
Went to a local swap meet today, 600 or so stalls pretty much solely devoted to Model T fords, hot rods & old fords/holdens, however there were a handful of lobby cards kicking around which I picked up (not major titles, but movies I enjoyed - G…Looking good Ves, sure you got bargain with a couple of those 'Long, Long' beauties!(Quote) Thanks
Yes absolutely stunning, funnily enough more so for the characters mean facial expression o…Missed it, I bottled at 450 not knowing the shipping. I'm sure my framer is equally as gutted! My wife.... not so much!(Quote) It's still going, but it's the shipping an 81" long (I suppose a few inches more with packing and caps etc.) tube to New Zealand that's holding me off. Plus the customs charges take the shipping cost into account when stinging you for thei…(Quote) Yeah, i threw it up to show the beauty before she was butchered!Tempted to make a play for 'Savage Girl' on EMP, but fear of the unknown cost of shipping a backed 6 Sheet this far is screaming "don't do it!!"
in September 2017 Comment by Wil September 2017Congrats, loving the Downhill racer and La La Land!(Quote) Nice bit of Chatrell art Paul, he certainly excelled at painting sexy ladies!I think I've got the daybill (albeit damaged) hidden somewhere, but for now the Aussie One Sheet of 'All Neat In Black Stockings' will have to do

Thanks mate, it's actually pretty big and painted on thick board, his archivist says it was used to show his vision of the viewer adopting the bunker/German POV (as if they were the gunner) to the production company.
Obvio…Also just had FedEx knock on the door with my Tom Chantrell art. Crude to some, but always nice to finally own some original art from one of your all time favorite poster artists, albeit a first draft.
It's definitely better with the titl…
(Quote) Agree David, only i'm not sure there are any winner here
But yes, good to finally see my stuff again afte… Let's just say that I won't be getting anything backed in NZ again Paul, it was actually a re-back after he rushed his first attempt and left a large pinched area in the linen.
This was the near minty beauty prior to my poor decision to …Finally got my posters back (with help from the boys in blue), I can now see how the re-backed Fine Sound of Music Quad didn't quite turn out as well as he said it looked (post mashed potato removal by this leading pro).
The surface is no…I think I tracked down where the Advance sold on EMP in April ended up. It looks great and the restorer certainly did a good job at a glance, sadly way out of my price range after my little spending spree! in August 2017 Comment by Wil August 2017
