Kirby, you're right. There is also a less
common Subway Two Sheet that measures 41x54, also in a horizontal format, I
believe.

I had an American two sheet for a LOUIS JORDAN film, LOOK OUT
SISTER, and it was printed on two sheets and
measured 41 x 54 approximately, when put together.

According to Bruce H. the TWO
SHEET measures 41x54, was printed on thin paper, for some B movies of the
40's and 50's, and was issued FOLDED.
According to L.A.M.P. there is
another poster known as the SUBWAY TWO SHEET and its measures 59x45, (NOT
45x59), since it is in the horizontal format. Also paper, also
folded.
The 40x60 was printed on thick
card board stock, distributed ROLLED, and I am not aware that it is refered
to as a "Two Sheet". Like JR has pointed out, some refer to it as a
Drive-In poster.

[MOPO] "Towering Inferno" (1974, Fox) MINT/ROLLED 60" x
40"???
I did
not realize a 40" x 60" is a "Two-sheet" as Tom indicates below. I
always thought a two-sheet was more like a Subway poster, rather than a
40" x 60"
Thoughts?

I just picked up your posting to MOPO from last night. Yes, I agree
100% with you that it's going to be a tough job locating a "MINT" 60" x
40" two sheet from "The Towering Inferno". Phil also mentioned how limited
these are for major pictures like this one. Compared to other NSS
materials very scarce. I was extremely fortunate to find the 60" x
40" two sheet from "The Poseidon Adventure" in MINT condition from e-bay
seller Mrs. Miniver. I have been watching this two sheet for quite
sometime and I think Amy wanted something like $500.00+ to begin with. I
did purchase it the other day for $345.00 less postage. The artwork by
Mort Kunstler is absolutely spectacular and I feel very fortunate to get
this two sheet. I will continue my quest for a "MINT" two sheet from "The
Towering Inferno". I do have the rare subway 45" x 59" on linen and the
John Berkey glass tower artwork is fantastic. I do know that Grey was
offering an "Inferno" at Heritage but it did not sell. It did have
condition problems. Also Bruce sold one for very little but then again
that one also had condition problems. The majority of these 60" x 40"
posters do have condition problems. Yes, crinkles and wrinkles are a major
common defect and problem among other problems.

> Yes, like you
mentioned many of these type's of posters were placed out in the
elements and hence were ruined and did not survive. If they did they have
condition problems. I would like to frame both of these titles and have an
Irwin Allen display.

my quest for a "Towering Inferno" two sheet in near mint to mint
condition. I was pleased to secure a MINT two sheet from Todd from "The
Spy Who Loved Me" and had it double matted. It is my most favorite Bob
Peak poster. Also traded for the two sheet on "Octopussy" and currently
have this at the frame shop. Both quite MINT!!!

for your good ideas about these types of cardboard stock posters. Everyone
please keep me in mind about one of these!!!
