Interesting. And while I usually get most of my investment advice from Ceramics experts, I have to wonder if the UK producers heard the Franchi sound bite and decided to set it up for their version (it's always fun and attention grabbing when you talk about million dollar items), or like you said maybe he had been listening to Rudi's delusions for too long.

Nope, like I said it was the UK version of Antiques Roadshow, and it was a new episode. The expert who said it was Will Farmer, whose field is Ceramics and 20th Century Decorative arts. He did say that it was that it was the view of many movie poster experts that it could top the million. So, perhaps he had been talking to Rudi Franchi, or indeed Mrs Miniver, or even the Harrods poster dealer.

Funnily enough, in last weeks UK version Antiques Roadshow, in a segment where experts reveal what they'd most like uncovered, the Metropolis US 1-sht was chosen. The expert mentioned the few existent German posters, and recent price achieved, yet thought if a US 1-sht turned up it could well be the first movie poster to make 1 $ million. Despite rarity, and the image being good (if it's the art I think it is, full length image of robot?), I thought it nonsense to value it higher than the amazing country of origin paper. While there are a handful of examples of the German poster, a good proportion of those are in museums and never coming to market. Or am I missing something?

I am unaware of any large original U.S. Paramount paper from the title still known to exist. I do know that a couple of the German one sheets for the international release (without titles) done by the great German poster artist Matejko, has traded hands over the years. -----Original Message----- From: MoPo List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Evan Zweifel Sent: Saturday, September 25, 2010 11:08 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MOPO] Anyone own or even see ANY original first release movie paper for The Golem?

Peter and Ken were talking about trading for lobby cards from The Golem, and it occurred to me that I have NEVER seen any original first release U.S. movie paper for The Golem (not even a herald or glass slide, and I have had one or the other of those on just about EVERY hard-to-find classic title). I remember Stan Caiden had some foreign poster with cool art (but no writing at all), but that's all I remember. I THOUGHT maybe the reason for this was that the movie received a very limited release in the U.S., but I am currently auctioning an exhibitor magazine with an ad for The Golem on the front cover (see it at http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=1937259 so obviously it got a significant U.S. release, for they saved cover ads for major releases (and the cover ad says it broke a record in Chicago and "played all summer" in New York City). So where the heck are all the lobby cards and posters? -- Bruce Hershenson and the other 28 members of the eMoviePoster.com team P.O.
