Just had an email back from Greg Edwards in the UK (Rare Film Posters),
who I asked after a suggestion from John Reid and Vesna (from the thread
on Vintage Movie Posters Forum
<http://vintagemoviepostersforum.com/discussion/1108/rare-english-one-sheet-the-third-man/p1>)
- I told him the queries and pointed him to the MoPo thread.
He kindly proved an answer very quickly, and I quote:
/"As the film was released in 1949 any original poster would have a 4
figure number in the bottom right corner which should start with a '9'
and end in an 'A'. If the poster is from 1950-51 it would have a 3
figure number but with no 'A'. From some time in 1952 onwards it would
be a 4 figure number, also with no 'A'."//
/
he also said:
/"The artwork is identical to the British quad. The British Film
Institute have a copy which I have attached for you (unfortunately not
big enough to check the numbering)."/
I bet you are all rushing off to see what the BIDLL one says, I know
and...whoops, it's my dinner time.
Talk soon.
;)
