Alan,
Absolutely. There may be one of two exceptions where I would buy the
poster if the character art did not match up fairly well with the film,
but I can't think of any just now. On the other hand, when it comes to
all those great monster and sf films from the 1950's, you usually don't
have any choice -- the art often has little or nothing to do with the
actual content of the film! And, of course, most often the posters were
far better visual art than the film itself was.

hey jeff, the reason i through art work into the mix is though i would
love to have either of those posters in my collection the argentine
has lugosi pictured in a dracula pose which he did not exhibit in the
film, the belgian doesn't. Sometimes i won't try and obtain a poster
on a title i like if i feel the depiction of the actor on the poster
is not in keeping with the film...wonder if others make similar
collecting decisions?...best Alan
