** I was recently chatting with a pal about Woody Allen's "Manhattan" (the film
still holds up after 30 years, though I find unthinkable -- the scene where
Woody's on the couch talking into his tape recorder -- and his character does
NOT mention his own "son" as being among the things "worth living for").
** Anyway -- I still -- and most of my friends -- regard the "bridge" poster to
this film (and sellers -- please stop calling it the Brooklyn Brdige -- it's
the Queensborough Bridge. NY locals simply call it the 59th St. Bridge) -- as
being spectacularly elegant in design, minimalist and modern, almost undated in
appearance. It looks wonderful on almost any wall so long as your furniture
isn't Old English or French traditional or something from the Ethan Allan
school of interior decorating.
** But it got me thinking -- I have three U.S. versions of this poster framed
in three rooms -- the one-sheet, the insert and the very hard-to-find half
sheet. But no three sheet. And I think a three-sheet of this title would be
stupendous, better than the humongous International bus-stop poster that has a
super wide format.
** Maybe Freeman or Bruce or Todd or Kirby or anyone else out there might now
the answer to this: Around what period did three-sheets stop being made?
** I believe there are three-sheets to Star Wars -- so I'm guessing the
extinction of U.S. three-sheets was around 1978, before the stoppage of REAL
inserts. Beyond this, I have ZERO idea.
