I love stuff like this, too.
Advertising is fascinating to study, especially the exploitational kind.
THE MECHANIC was such a great story, never been done right.
Michael Winner stories are legendary in the British film industry.

Subject: [MOPO] emovieposter's The Mechanic Styles A & B
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.
