I was just looking through some of bruce's latest auctions and saw that he was
offering the style A & B one sheets for The Mechanic which, when considered
together, offer an amusing insight into the 1970s United Artists
publicity department.
The style A gravely intones: "He has more than a dozen ways to kill and they
all work"

But by the time they had finalised the design for the style B, someone at UA
had decided a "more than a dozen" was woefully inadequate and had also taken
issue with the general lack of underlining and absence of apostrophes!

well it amused me anyway.
