*Hi Gary,
My first though was that I was looking at a re print due to the washed
out colors. Something does not seem right with that poster. I don't know
if it is a "bleached look"from the flash photography, but I don't think
so. Looking at the detail in colors it appears to be washed out.
I looked at Chris's video but it is to blurry and quick for me to see.
Who know, I'm getting a bit old and slow.
If it is real, it would still be a steal at 1500 range.
I don't smoke, but getting the smoke back in to the poster is an easy fix.
Cheers.
dario.
He only calls it "a one sheet" ask for dimensions! can you imaging if it
is a linen backed repro!! Crazy Huh?

So you do think it is an original US 1 sheet though?
I only ask because if it is,..just poorly restored,...than $500 seems
fair,...no?

I think the better question to ask here, is exactly how much
restoration has
been performed on this poor poster?
Looks to me like the poster had at least the bottom border
trimmed (no NSS
info, or any Allied Artists copyright info, only a poorly
stenciled "printed
in USA" at the bottom right), it is also missing the
black printer's
alignment marks at each of the corners.
It was then over-bleached, removing most of the natural
colors.
As for the missing smoke from the car - total hogwash!
Take a close look at the hood of the car - you can see the
small whiff of
smoke rising from the hood, then across her arm where it
abruptly stops.
What happened? Some lunkhead restorer decided it was a
defect and painted
yellow over the rest of the smoke erasing it from the
background.
Printed in USA but made for the foreign market (which
foreign market was
releasing this clunker?) - I call BS on that.
Poorly restored? Absolutely
The work of Chris Cloutier? Possibly
Take a look at the 50ft Woman one-sheet shown at the end of
the video, and
see if you can see the smoke from the car, the black
printing alignment
marks in the corners, or any NSS/copyright info on this
poster.

Hello experts,
I saw this poster on ebay and was curious if anyone if
familiar with it?
Does anyone know how this poster can be distinguished from
the more
experience version?
That is, the seller seems to say this poster is for the
foreign market --
what characteristics differentiate this poster from the
'real' US one.
Very curious.
