I wish I had some!
-
242 looks familiar
-
Aha! I was thinking Harold Lloyd originally but looks like it's Whoopee! (1930) - with Eddie Cantor.
-
C2 - Annie Get Your Gun (1946)?
-
And odd that it seems to have been printed specially for the Australian Two cinema.
-
My first thought on C661 was White Heat (1949) because of the rear projection gasometers in the background, so I did a bit of searching and that looks like it.
-
Hmmm... putting my thinking cap on.
-
I'm curious to know what processes were used.
-
Love those new images!
-
I always wondered about Australian lobby cards of that era. I don't know what the printing process was (photo-litho?), but they looked more photographic than printed, with hand colouring. Does that sound right? Whereas lobby cards from the US were a…

C3 is Artists and Models (1955). Martin and Lewis directed by Frank Tashlin. I think I know C1 as well but will wait for others to chip in.
-
Hopefully there may be some more long stashed hordes of posters unearthed.
-
That's more up my alley!
-
Lovely stuff!
-
242 is Mysterious Island (1961). Very sneaky of you!
-
243 is The Mysterious Island (1929). An early 2 colour technicolor film (hence my interest). An almost complete colour version was found a few years ago in a Czech archive - but no word on whether it's being restored. The B/W version is available on…
-
Can I have a go at 243? Or wait a bit?
-
Thanks, War films are not my specialty unfortunately, but I do try.
-
I think you'e right about posters being dumped, I'm sure that was the fate of many of them.
-
Did Mijanou have much of a career?
-
I know what 243 is, but I'll give someone else a go. And I know what you're up to!
-
241 must be the lesser known one - Dark Star (1974) - very recognisable shot to me.
-
Any updates on older Australian films is much appreciated.
-
I was doing searches for Brigitte Bardot and found her sister, that's hilarious that they had the audacity to do it.
-
Just stumbled upon who it is...and why she was drawn to resemble Brigitte Bardot, but I'll leave it up to you to explain who it is. The cunning powers of marketing!
-
And here's another image of her from a later Blake Films release...

I think in a lot of those cases of bad artwork on poorly drawn posters it's a matter of "just draw a poster for me before you go on your lunch break". Very little time allocated to the design and execution of the designs. It really looks like they w…

Brigitte Bardot?
-
My only thought is Zsa Zsa Gabor, which shows how much I know!
-
Ah, that narrows it down! Looks like Confederate soldiers....so, is it They Won't Forget (1937)?
