Hi Zeev,
That may be, but then let's just talk about accurate and true
artistic renditions of actors' faces (and not meaning retouched or
tinted photo images).
For realism, the Belgian artists certainly have gotten the accuracy
down, without question, IMO.

Sorry Jeff, I somewhat disagree with your assessment of the Belgian
posters.
They are usually superbly drawn/painted, but my knock against them
is that
no matter the title or subject matter, the all come across as oh-so-
happy
with their rosy cheeks that it makes me want to scream.

I think Belgian poster artists, in MANY cases, have gotten the
image and
feel of actors, spot on, in numerous examples.
Poster after poster from the 1940s and '50s have just stunning images
created of Monroe, Bergman, A Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Cary Grant and
so many
others, IMO.
They can be both beautiful and extremely close in presentation,
emotion and
energy.

Marilyn's posters - across here entire filmography - often to do not

right.
Most of them are Marilyn-like. This is often the case with film
posters. The image of Veronica Lake on THIS GUN FOR HIRE does not
look like Veronica Lake. Some Blonde is pictured.
So here's a question for the list - excepting photographs - which
illustrations on film posters really get the image of a star -
doesn't
matter which one - REALLY right?
I point to the Roger Souble portrait of Veronica Lake. There is art
that really captures the look and the essence of the star's appeal.

like
Marilyn on all posters on this title.
