To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, 5 January, 2011, 16:23 Kirby, I’m guessing you’re not a Brando collector, otherwise I can’t see how you could dismiss this find so easily. You are right, the realistic accuracy of the design would not matter to Brando fans and collectors (and I am one of them) in this case. I mean, the discovery of a Brando poster, for one of his key roles, that features art that (almost?) no one has ever seen before is a major find, in my opinion. I think all collectors with even a passing interest in Brando would be floored by this poster.As to the question “who rides a motorcycle like that?” I refer you to Dragstrip Riot(1958) http://www.moviegoods.com/movie_poster/dragstrip_riot_1958.htmfrom where the image was most certainly lifted.I’m not familiar with the design of the Hot Blood insert. Is it different from the standard Wild One insert?

Thanks for posting this. I did not see my esteemed colleague Mr. Franchi on ANTIQUES ROADSHOW with this undeniably rare reissue 40x60, so I am interested to read this post. Rare it may be, and perhaps some Brando completist would pay the estimate, but if the design of this poster were to count at all, the film would be entitled THE WEIRD ONE. Who rides a motorcycle like that? Waving a wrench about! Ludicrous! And where is the locale? Is this in the film? They look like they're riding thru the set of CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN. Ugly! Give me one of the nice lobbies and I'll call that the prettiest poster on the film. Or the HOT BLOOD insert. My two centavos.
