MoPo, Hi there. Sorry to hear about the Australian eBay rapscallion (well they did shoot down the Red Baron at least), hopefully he has a "good" twin that gets as much attention for being nice--but as the Bard S. (Shakespeare, not Bard/t Simpson ;) is quoted as saying: "The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones."
As I have been gathering Marx Brothers poster images, I have encountered some really nice posters with fun artwork from Belgium, Spain, Belgium, Argentina, Italy, and France. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts as to whether it might be more enjoyable to see some of those pieces included in the "Art of the Marx Brothers" book? I don't want to omit a valuable group of images if they would be of interest to fans of the films--and/or artwork, world-wide. I know Benito (eBay username: 3905miguel) has some wonderful examples and I'd be curious where else I might find some examples? Also searching for original color stills of the Marx Brothers and Laurel and Hardy (want to prepare for the next project now to stay on top of things) if anyone is aware of those? I have found one of all five Marx Brothers in color from the 1950s, so excited to have that image published soon :) For Laurel and Hardy there are some rare color prints from the 30s by Harry Warnecke, so please let me know if you have those as well. Hope everyone had a great 4th of July holiday (Gloria Stuart would have turned 102 that day) and lots of firecracker fun. Looking forward to seeing fellow collectors at the Beverly Hills show. Asked Grey to pimp me out for free labor (not to me ;) but if not I'll just visit and hold the Marx Brothers glass slides up to the light. Best, -daniel...
