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)?
-
Is it Inherit The Wind 1960?
-
They're all lovely posters, great seeing them all in one place.
-
No idea from me!
-
An actual photo used on the poster...I expect the Christmas party at Regent films was cancelled that year to make up for the printing costs!

(Quote) Could it be because most display cases outside cinemas were designed for vertical posters and the occasional horizontal poster would have to be displayed in a special way? I imagine the horizontal posters would have been less popular …

Love that film!

343 - Wolfen (1981). Recent horror is not my strong suit, but for some reason Wolfen popped into my head for the image in 344, then I went searching for images from Wolfen and found the other one!

Great pics, I have a director friend who held the rights to remake this for many years but nothing ever came of it.
-
I've seen that image before, but not sure I've seen the film.
-
No proof whatsoever, but that's exactly the style of poster that process creates, we used to do it at school. I'm still in touch with my old art teacher from school, I'll ask him next time I see him.

(Quote) The difference I see (with my limited knowledge of the printing processes) is:
For a start, they all had smaller budgets to distribute than the larger distributors, so less time would have been spent on making artwork. Perh… -
Is 238 Flight To Mars 1951?
-
Great document, very rare.
-
It's a pity there aren't more surviving Australian films from that era, and their artwork.
-
I'm not good with War films, and I don't think I've ever seen it - but is 451 "Objective Burma 1945? The name came into my head when I saw the image.
-
Obviously it's a format a creative poster artist could use from time to time to make an eye catching pice of artwork, the Ben Hur was done that way to show off the Colosseum, although I'm surprised the chariots were made so small, they would have wo…

Well done!
-
To me it looks like Nov 10 is on the top poster but covered by a white substance, perhaps to obscure the date so it reads only "Saturday" I'd suggest they're the same poster.
-
Yes, that one looks better than the two above which were what I was referring to.
-
I wonder whether those Regent Films posters could have been printed in house? We used to have screen printing frames at school, so it's a very simple and cheap process to use. It would have saved them a lot of money in printing costs.
-
Surely that's not first release is it?
-
Sounds like Agnes' reputation preceded her!
-
My thought though is that it wasn't a standard printing and could have been done by a smaller company that specialised in hand screen printing. Hand screen printing has been used for centuries.
-
The dancers were probably a Busby Berkeley dance troupe of chorus girls flown in for the filming!
-
(Quote) Check this video out to see how small screen print runs can be done quickly and cheaply, that could be why there aren't many of these posters around.
I'm assuming they were hand screen printed where they put blobs of paint on a screen and squeegee it onto paper, that would explain the variations, and also allow for small print runs at low expense. Does that sound right? We used to do that at scho…
