Sad to hear even if he was nearly 100.
One of my favorite directors, and like Robert Wise, comfortable and excellent
in every genre.
He will be mourned...

Howdy MoPoListas!
Here’s an unusual quiz for you:
A friend obtained a bunch of original artwork and signage used under the
opening titles of various film and tv shows.
He asked me to post these background art pieces to see if anyone recognizes
what film or tv series they were used in?
Any help
Ignoring horror, Sci fi, fantasy and other genres has been largely the norm
since at least the publication of the first major treatise on cinema, Arthur
Knight’s The Liveliest Art. Knight was heavyweight critic at the then very
influential Playboy magazine.

Interestingly, I acquired a near identical 30x40 from Jerry Fiore in the early
1980s, but with one major distinction:
In place of the BoF Karloff portrait art, there was a huge b/w c/u photo of the
1931 Monster.
I got lots of 50s Realart 30 x 40s from Jerry and they all had photographic art

B/w sets always seemed to be much harder to find, not sure why.)

I had very similar and pleasant experiences with Deke - he was incredibly
knowledgeable and enthusiastic and fair if tough, and would let me pore over
his stock for hours on end in his smoke-filled back office. Cash was tight for
me so we often traded and had a great time doing so.

I hate these kinds of lists - way too subjective and narrow.
No Fassbinder? His films could have filled out the top 50 singlehanded (so to

Hallo, good ol'
But aren't posters luxury goods?
By that calculation, shouldn't all luxury boats (yachts?) be rising?

The storyboard shown was drawn by the great Mentor Huebner.
Alas, he was one of the most prolific of all preproduction artists, and his
drawings were virtually all done in the same style and scale. So without

Hi All,
Coming to this conversation a little late.
I think I was the first one shown this figure way back in 1987 or '88.
It was Ken Kramer who found the figure advertised in The Recycler. It had been
part of a traveling carnival and the head and hands had been repainted a lurid
green.
I own the top 1/3 of a Just Imagine three sheet, which came from Forry
Ackerman's collection.
According to Forry, that element was the only poster he ever had on that title
(though he may have had a lobby card as well?)

Hi all,
I know this is a bit off topic, but it is about a movie prop...
Does anyone know of a cheap carrier to ship a prop car measuring 14'
long x 7' wide x 4' high, weight 1500 pounds, from NY 13856 to LA 90024?
Any assistance would be welcome!

Hi again all,
I'm normally a lurker but I wanted to warn everyone that I just got two
fake Second Chance Buyer offers, one from someone whose Ebay handle is
tusit and the other from visualsei.
I forwarded the emails to Ebay but who knows if they'll do anything
about it.
Cheers,
Ron
