On every US movie poster issued for The Maltese Falcon, with the exception
of the Window Card (and possibly the 6-Sheet?), Bogart appears as "Mad Dog"
Roy Earle, the part from "High Sierra" that put him on the map earlier
that year. That's why for many Bogart collectors, believe it or not, the
Window Card is the most sought after US poster on the film...

I was browsing on eBay, and found an insert to "The Great Gatsby" (1949
version with Ladd).

This poster is rare (as you certainly know) -- however, I would be
surprised if it sold for serious cash.
The artwork is different from the 1-sheet (see)
http://www.moviegoods.com/movie_poster/the_great_gatsby_1949.htm
and more like "Two Years Behind the Mast"

I have 2 questions for you:
1) Is this just a case of Paramount using some leftover artwork from a
previous film, or is there a bathing suit scene in this movie??
2) What other posters have images of the stars taken from other roles on
them?
Thanks,
Evan
