Re: [MOPO] Wild One R60 40x60 - Anyone ever see one?

[Todd Spoor]

I have never seen this 40x60 before, and is very cool, much better art than the R-30x40. Zeev, I guess the question to the Brando collectors would be, would YOU pay what the appraiser estimated? I guess if it came to auction we would all find out if it would reach that estimate. I am usually surprised with very rare posters either going well above the estimate or well below it. Case in point is the 40x60 for 'It Came from Outer Space" selling for $9,500! http://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=7025&Lot_No=83147 I thought this poster would sell for around $3-4k, I bid up to $4,500 and got crushed by other bidders, so you never know!!!

I like both, though think I prefer the second one. Nothing more menacing than cartoon characters tearing a town up, it's a bit Ronald Searle.

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.htm from 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?   Zeev   From: MoPo List [mailto:mopo-l@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU] On Behalf Of Kirby McDaniel Sent: Tuesday, January 04, 2011 11:44 PM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: Re: [MOPO] Wild One R60 40x60 - Anyone ever see one?   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.   Kirby McDaniel www.movieart.net     On Jan 4, 2011, at 9:15 PM, Dave Rosen wrote: Just watched this online.
