One of the best batches of posters I've seen on e**y in a long time! I would like to take the opportunity to point out something about the "Cocaine - The Thrill That Kills) window card that many of us have. I finally did some research into this and it's not any of the domestic klassic Kocaine films, but is actually the US release for c. 1949 "LETTERA ALL'ALBA," an italian post-war noir that was released throughout the rest of the world (including the US) as variations of "Cocaine."
The artwork on the US WC is based on the various European art designs used, and I also found a US article as well that identified the stars of "Cocaine" as those of "Lettera..." The identity of this movie had been bugging me for a long time and I hope this helps other collectors. --Peter --- On Mon, 1/17/11, Sean Linkenback <[email protected]> wrote: From: Sean Linkenback <[email protected]> Subject: [MOPO] FA: 100+ New Items Hitchcock, Horror, Bogie, Marilyn, and More To: [email protected] Date: Monday, January 17, 2011, 12:01 AM Earlier this evening I uploaded over 100 items for our January NO reserve auctions.
