Hi to you all
Can anybody shed some light on when a full set
of 8 USA lobby cards were released for the
theatrical release of McQueens An Enemy Of The
People ? Some research says cards were released
at the time of test screening but only with text
reviews on them and no images. Other research
articles say cards were released as normal with
images but in very short supply because of the
very limited screening by Warner bros due to the
inability to market the film. I understand a USA
one sheet was released with images of McQueen
from his past movies but was this at the time of
the films production 1978 or at a re-release
after his death and the same for the lobby
cards? Also what is the original classification
between the 1978 and post 1980 release? To
anybody that may have original 1978 lobbies, I
have been told a hit squad is on its way to
secure them from a certain mopoer
..
Ben and I have been chatting about this subject the past few days.
IMDB says the film was not released domestically
in 1978 but that it was released internationally
however, a scan of Heritage archives shows 2 one
sheets, both of which have a G rating on them and a 1978 date.
Also some lobby cards are known to exist with the
1978 printing, but they are not traditional lc's
and are the 11x14 litho styles commonly used for international distribution
It is possible the one sheets are 1982 posters
with an original production date on them, however
it is also possible that the posters were printed
for an original release and never distriobuted.
I suspect Freeman Fisher may be able to shed some
light on the issue, if he sees this email
