I don't want to suggest that posters featuring old-time radio stars *aren't*red-hot, and I have not looked up who the high bidders are, but isn't it slightly possible that one or more of the bidders for *THIS* half-sheet are bidding on the horror/sex/cartoony angle, rather than some great love of the Great Gildersleeve?
Look at the poster at http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/inc/large_size.php?lot=2o032, look at the taglines used to sell this movie (("Weird...Wild-Eyed...and What Fun"; "A haunted house- ful of goofy, ghostly guffaws with Gildy in the mad-cap middle!"; "You'll *SCREAM* with laughter!"; "Everything from spooks to nuts! As Gildy and a giant gorilla tussle over a buxom blonde who vanishes..just like that!"; "*EERIE HILARITY* -- when a pair of spooks and a giant gorilla try to pal up with Throcky!"; "-with the Prince of Pomposity at his befuddled best... As he pits his wits against a giant gorilla, a vanishing Venus and a pair of goofy spooks!"). What's *NOT* to love about this poster? And $84 sure doesn't buy much in this crazy mixed-up world of ours. What's wrong with spending it on a really cool funky 64 year old poster, especially since you get a really cool free limited edition T-shirt also? And Roger, I will take one dozen of these at $12 each, and I imagine I will have no trouble finding them, since that is exactly double what they *SHOULD * sell for!
