We've also had the INVASION OF THE B.S. one stop, INTERIORS, ANNIE HALL
(or was it MANHATTAN? we gave it to our website designer a while back as
a gift for his Woody Allen collection) HAIR, several others.
They can be quite spectacular ans as Ari describes are like a landscape
three sheet size, single panel.
My understanding is that as a "one stop" they provided a "one stop" for
exhibs for a set of lobby cards size stills and two different one sheet
design posters and were predominantly designed for international use.
None of ours, however, have had NZ stamps or stickers, but then they
weren't sourced from NZ.
As for a "short stop", I think Freeman is right on the money with his
definition.
Of course, in Australia, a "short stop" is something else altogether, or
so my wife tells me.

Hi JR
I think that the "short stops" may relate back to when "one stops"
were used. Some may have never heard of one stops because they
rarely turn up. These were huge posters in one piece that were
basically the size of three US one sheets in a horizontal format
approx 41" x 81". They usually comprised three panels with the
poster art from a US one sheet on one side, a group of 6 or so
scenes from the film in the center panel and alternative art on
the right hand panel. They were printed in the US but, I think,
only used for international release. I have no idea why they were
called "one stops" but it appears that they were only used from
about 1978 - 1982.
I am guessing that during this period, the alternative art used in
the right hand panel might have been also released as a single one
sheet or "short stop" but I am only making a (slightly) educated
guess.
These posters are obviously very rare and probably more desirable
because they feature alternative art to the normal US one sheet.
Some titles that were released in this era as "one stops" included
Comes a Horseman and Moonraker.
I hada look through various sites that have information about
poster formats but I couldnt see anything on one stops or short
stops and I havent been able to find any definitive information on
these posters.
Surely someone on the list must know something.

John,
I'm just guessing here... but perhaps it means "short run"?
i.e., maybe "short stop" was printed on the back of a regular
one-sheet when the film was released for a special limited
engagement distribution... like it was offered to theaters at
a cheap price for a 1, 2 or 3 day run? Maybe just for midnight
showings on Friday and Saturday nights? Something like that.

I asked yesterday about an unusual format for a US
international one sheet that has the words "short stop" on
the back as part of the NSS stamp. The only response I had
was a rather witty email from Freeman who suggested that
the term may be referring to a "well rounded athlete with
quick response, and valuable in a clutch play, usually
going by names like Biff, Scooter, or Jerry". Good one
Freeman.
I'm sure that there are many on this list who would
consider themselves experts on US poster formats. Surely
someone has come across this form of poster. I am guessing
that it is similar to the US printed "one stops" that are
quite rare but I would appreciate it if someone could
enlighten me.
Here are some images that may help. Note that there is a
New Zealand censor sticker that has been attached but the
poster was printed in the USA.
