I think part of the problem is Mature... he was a well-known Hollywood woose, who played tough guys but was far from a tough guy, but a hell of a nice man.... and a fine actor in the right roles.
Mitchum, on the other hand, was a hell of a nice man but who could nail you into the ground like tack if you pissed him off. Somewhere, floating aorund, are the out takes from his THE BIG SLEEP with his set-to's with Michael Winner. KISS OF DEATH is a great movie, but for a Mature noir one sheet, I much prefer CRY OF THE CITY. Can we see a pic of the KOD 3 sheet please Kirby? ----- Original Message ----- From: Kirby McDaniel To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, June 06, 2010 11:59 AM Subject: Re: [MOPO] WTB: Kiss of Death one sheet I must say I disagree with Phil here. I think it's a really good poster, and, in my view it's one of those posters that looks better "in the flesh", so to speak than any picture can communicate. We have the three sheet but not a one sheet. Kirby Kirby McDaniel MovieArt Original Film Posters P.O.

Channing's notes that the studio deliberately wanted monochrome full bleed art for the one sheet is interesting and one wonders what was behind this thinking. But I don't see great design elements in this poster. Oddly enough, the Australian paper, especialy the daybill is much more attractive, using similar art and in colour.

Up there with Out of the Past and Gun Crazy paper for me. Top Noir (literally) poster. On 5 Jun 2010, at 16:42, Posteritati wrote: MOPO, We're looking for one, thanks!
