Jean Luc Godard was so impressed with the Italian poster for Vivre sa Vie
that he had it planted into the background in Le Mepris:

That's a great one.
UFA bunging up worthless, leftover posters as set dressing.
Really like the use of the "Call Me Bwana" poster in From Russia With Love,
though presumably a studio mock up.

There is a thread on this exact topic over at APF. My favorite was a post
by Rich showing a city scene from Fritz Lang's "Spione" (1928) that had
(6) 3-sheets for Metropolis pasted up on the wall!

There are lots of cases of movie posters in the background of other
movies. One of my personal favorites is in The Maltese Falcon. As Bogart
arrives on the crime scene of his murdered partner, in the background we
can clearly see a one sheet posted to a wall for Swing Your Lady-- a
film Bogart hated and claimed he never made... It was just a guy that
looked like him. John Huston was obviously having some fun at Bogart's
expense.

Last night I watched a DVD of the
Ronald Neame film, THE MAN WHO NEVER WAS (1956). There
is a scene in the film where two cars are en route to a
destination. In one of the shots, in the background,
there is a billboard for HITLER'S CHILDREN. I couldn't
make out much of the art on the poster, but the title
was clearly evident. These kinds of contextual
juxtapositions are common in movies today, but in this film
that poster - it looks to be a British six sheet - could
just
as easily have been any 1942 film. Why HITLER'S
CHILDREN? I can't help but believe there was a kind of
knowingness in that choice. For those of you who have
not
seen the movie, it concerns an effort to deceive the German
military as to the true location of Allied invasion of
Europe.
What do you remember about movie posters in films?
When are they just props and when do they comment on
something? Incidentally, the DVD from Netflix
was a quite respectable transfer of a CinemaScope
picture. Not Blu-Ray, though.
