Since the hair colour has now changed (and the goal posts) the depiction in the poster resembles Sylvia Koscina. If it's anyone more obscure than her, good luck!
-
1950s - ok then, my more confident guess is Mylene Demongeot.
-
With that hair style it looks 1960s, a decade which had hordes of beauties to choose from. My guess Virna Lisi.
-
It is impressive, I regret parting with that!

Yes, Ben Hur is a horizontal daybill. Ir was the biggest publicised movie to that time in cinema history, so expect extra special advertising. I don't think a press sheet exists but I figure there would have been multiple daybill designs.
-
The unknown size thing is an ad from a magazine, great art though.
-
I would say that more than rarity, genre, decorative appeal etc, that the most important factor by far is what you actually paid or gave for the item.
-
So can it finally be put to bed that the Ben Hur is not a page removed from an campaign manual?
-
The RKO for me, that's just because I like RKO!

Your Forbidden Planet photo is an art still which the studios routinely printed for each poster size - one sheet and larger, as part of their suite of stills ( which ran into the hundreds). The one you have may be quite rare but doesn't prove that a…

It's just as well you left eBay Bruce. With their ever increasing seller fees (which will eventually rival that of auction houses) you would need to charge a buyers premium and higher fees for consignors also.
-
Yeah it's of no importance of them to do individual requests like that. I asked in 2008 for an image of their Wolf Man daybill and got nowhere. Still waiting.
-
Irrelevant, but I've always liked that landscape When Worlds Collide art - except for the bit where the tidal wave appears in front of the girls arm!
-
Great artist but my cupboard is bare. Struzan worked in the era of super glossy posters - which I've never fancied.
-
That's good. Some of those yearbook issues are quite rare, I did have other earlier issues but misguidedly traded them many moons ago.
-
Lawrence - 1948-49 is the only one of those listed I have and the PRC 46-47 and 47-48 releases appear in them.
-
The following are the Australian PRC releases for respectively 1945-46 and 1947-48.

I shall see what other releases I can dig out.
-
These are for period June 30 46 to July 1 47. -
My limited information on PRC is PRC - Hoyts is listed as a releasing company in the Film Weekly annuals from the time. These annuals also list the titles released for the year, as they do for all the other releasing companies. The PRC films relea…

Bluebeard and Fog Island - two borderline horror films were released here by PRC - Hoyts but it seems none of the others were.
-
Here's a Gunns slide box, the art a bit obscured by the added postage labels.
-
Great 1 sheet, although the images of Hitler on both posters aren't completely on the mark.
-
The posters- I wish. I don't have any PRC ones and have not spied any in 36 years of activity. I do have the list of releases from the late 40s. I don't have the Australian releases from before 46, because I don't have the Film Weekly directory's fr…
-
Yes. I have the PRC releases from the late 40s, and the ones after, well, I'm less interested in.
-
Hondo - I'm interested in the titles from before 1946 released in Australia.
-
I am sorry to hear that.

This pic might interest a certain member

Fog Island, another P.R.C. horror film was released here in September 1946.

Every thing Trump touches dies (a popular saying). This decay even extends to the movie poster hobby on the other side of the world!
