  • Nice copy of Now Voyager Hondo. Movie's kinda good too, nobody plays the spinster like B Davis! And Henreid at the end, "shall we seal it with a cigarette?"... ;)

    And ley us never forget the great Claude Rains.

  • Indeed! I've only seen him in a few movies but my favorite was Mr. Smith...
  • Casablanca, They Won't Forget ( one of my favourites ), The Unsuspected and the list goes on and for someone who wasn't seen he certainly made his mark as The Invisible Man.

    I believe this beautiful poster is Marchant & Co. Hard to make out the printer's name.Printer's details look right length for Marchant credits, the right period for Marchant and the right studio for Marchant.

  • I reckon it's a Morrison & Bailey one...
  • Some of the varying printers info on the long daybills...

  • You're right Vesna. According to Poster.Guide.org it is Morrison And Bailey. Glad we cleared that up. I hate posters where I find it hard to read the printer's credits.

  • Great daybill.

  • Just had to download this magnificent example of Marchant & Co. poster artwork for Belle Starr ( 1941). Lovely image of Gene Tierney at the top of the poster. An interesting observance is that the top billed star of the film Randolph Scott doesn't appear at all on the daybill image. In all the original American poster artwork he does appear, admittedly in smaller images but does appear on them all but for some reason or another was left off the poster artwork here in Australia.

  • It is indeed a great poster/image of Tierney
  •  U.S. INSERT. Compare the Gene Tierney main image and the colour on the Marchant daybill posted earlier to the above insert to see how great the Marchant posters were.
  • The AU1SH is great too albeit pretty much a carbon copy of the US1SH B Style

    Therefore it must have Randolph Scott on it then. Who is the printer? Love to see an image - any chance?

    Indeed it does

    Matt will be happy...this is a case where the search facility for this forum works (because the poster was named). Type in Belle Starr in the search box

    Very nice poster but overall I prefer the daybill. I can't make out the printers name on the Australian one sheet but it isn't Marchant and my guess would be possibly Offset or Hackett.
  • And a great poster save by Dave I must add!

    Thanks David. Great restoration job done on the poster that possibly may be the only one that still exists knowing how few Australian one sheets from that period were printed that still exist due to the paper shortage during World War 11.
  • Thanks Lawrence - I do love the poster, I've never seen another and I was so pleased to have been able to be part of the process that saved it...

    Top marks for you and it does show Randolph Scott on it as well.
  • For a person David who said ''I don't do westerns" you certainly made a great exception with Belle Starr.

    It's a Western?! It's the gorgeous Gene Tierney...

    Besides no one else would have wanted it in the condition it was in...
