I love the Italian paper for the Bogie movies! I hope to get one when I grow up.

Probably the most famous examples of this phenomena are the Longest Day advance 1sh and the On The Beach style B; happy design classics bobbing amidst a sea of dreck. n --- On Sun, 6/3/11, Richard Evans <evan...@blueyonder.co.uk> wrote: >From: Richard Evans <evan...@blueyonder.co.uk> >Subject: Re: [MOPO] Do you solely collect certain sizes of movie posters? >To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU >Date: Sunday, 6 March, 2011, 17:36 > > >US paper, I'd go against type and get lobby card 5. >Design on the lobbies is good on this title I think. > > > >But, best piece for me is the grande, and I've been wanting to get one for >years. > > >Heritage have sold that, at $3,800, which I though was a bargain, but bad >timing >for me then. > > >Prefer that to the Italian paper that's also passed through there. > > >Though another Italian piece that Heritage have sold does offer my personal >favourite Bogart/Bacall image- the the 4 Fogli for To Have and Have Not. > > >Can turn a blind eye to Bogart being cross eyed in that one, and the art >justifies the big 55x78 chunk of wall space. > > >Considering the restrictions of WB art direction at the time, the insert and 3 >are relative masterpieces. > > >But I'd still prefer the insert.
