Interestingly this film title isn't listed on the IMDB website.
I've found lately that IMDB isn't all that we'd like it to be - especially when it comes to the more obscure stuff. Some research I was doing for a German film released in Australia turned up a US One Sheet, some B&W stills and a UK Quad, but IMDB doesn't show the film as having an English language release.
Their search parameters are a bit iffy too - sometimes their AKAs are buried in areas like the distribution company credits which their search engine doesn't pick up.
In With IMDB's images section I can understand when a lot of the actors and actresses aren't credited at all under the images.
My problem though is where countless numbers of actors and actresses images are incorrectly credited with wrong names We aren't just talking an odd instance, but hundreds and hundreds that I am aware of that I have noticed over the years I have accessed the website.
Yeah, I'm not wild about the condition issues on College Capers, but I took a quick look at how many times Bruce and Heritage have sold copies and thought I'd rather have an iffy placeholder copy than none at all. The thing that bugs me the most about it is the censor stamp. Ugh.

Oh---I understand the placeholder...and it is a RARE poster, as it was only for a short subject instead of a feature---much smaller print run. It's still fun. Congrats!
As I eluded to in my last entry with posters, there were a handful I knew I needed to snap pics of, and here they are. As we all know, Ves is one of the undisputed rays of sunshine in the poster collecting hobby. She has befriended many of us, and selflessly and generously sent poster gifts to those that she knows would appreciate them. All of the posters in this post except for the very last one were gifts from Ves, so thank you again Captain Awesome, for your kindness and generosity for many moons now.
These three were gifts just this year:
This was from a care package Ves sent in 2009:
And this beautiful, backed daybill is one Ves sent around 2005-2006:
My memory is more or less non-functional anymore, so if I left any out, I apologize, and will definitely post any omissions at a later date.
Like many of my acquisitions, this one is certainly rough around the edges (and everywhere else, really), but I'm hoping it will mat and frame up acceptably:
Wow! How nice of Ves. I am unfamiliar with Ves, but what a sweetheart. The Roller Derby one is my fave of the batch---I'd never even seen that one before. I LOVE the DADDY-O poster and have been after a US one sheet forever. Bravo and congrats on having that. All are very nice. Thanks for sharing.
A-ha! THAT name I most certainly DO recognize. It is wonderful to know there are a few females in the hobby as well. I've only known one thus far. I wonder why that is...
Back again so soon? Why yes, yes I am. If you smelled something funky in the room and couldn't quite identify it, that would be me. You're welcome.
Anyhow, it'll come as absolutely no shock at all to any poster geeks familiar with my slant on collecting that this brief installment is entirely car related. For 2 out of 3 of these, I was perfectly happy to have lesser items for the titles - a lobby card and a pressbook respectively. As it happens with many of us I'm sure, sometimes stuff just pops up randomly and the poster planets align. In this case, 1 sheets became available where many previous searches had proved fruitless. Exiting to you? Probably not, but helpful to me, because heaven knows I didn't have enough movie ephemera already.
And this last entry for today probably won't blow your skirt up either, but it is rare, mostly in insert form. This one I had to do some searching for. It's even one that Dave L. could say you don't find very often in any condition, and it wouldn't be BS. John Hazelton called this title "the granddaddy of all gearhead movies", and in terms of teen/hot rod movies, I'd argue that title actually goes to The Devil On Wheels, but that's picking nits. Anyhow, one of my handful of holy grails (which is in transit, so I hope I'm not jinxing myself by posting it already):
Fun racing posters, Rockabilly! My Aunt and Uncle owned the local racetrack when I was growing and I sure enjoy a nice race poster. Your Hazard poster has some very nice art; do you know the artist? Yeah, that Roller Derby poster is great. I loved watching Roller Derby in the 1970s. More recently, I knew a mild mannered accountant and expert knitter by day, who exploded at night into a flat track Roller Derby queen! Good times. Okie
Thanks, Okie! Sorry, I don't know the artist for Hazard, but one of the resident daybill experts might. Except for snippets here and there, I don't think I've ever watched any roller derby. Unless it was on ABC's Wide World of Sports during the 70's, I'm pretty sure it wasn't on in my parent's house, as that's the only sports broadcast I remember my dad watching. However, he was the kinda guy who would've appreciated roller derby, so maybe I just missed it. An accountant/knitter by day and roller derby queen at night sounds like marriage material. Woo hoo!
From the bottom section of the Hazard poster the artist's credit, and from another different daybill poster a clearer version of the wording.
The Hazard Australian daybill was produced by the Richardson Studio. Artist John Richardson was the head and founder of Richardson Studio, It cannot be 100% certain to say that John Richardson personally was responsible for the artwork, but most likely it was designed by him.
Posters from the Richardson Studio, including some earlier work signed personally by John Richardson can be found searching the the below link.
Thanks for the info, Lawrence! Hopefully that'll help Okie out a bit. Here's a quickie entry from me. Both posters are in transit, so no hands-on info yet.
This one was listed as a prerelease advance crew poster, and it's signed by one of the two brothers primarily responsible for the film, Kevin Conran. Among other job titles he held for the film was production designer, and I'm pretty sure he was the artist on this poster. It's a lot like the SDCC Sky Captain poster I have, but the title is different, and this is supposed to be 1 sheet size, where the SDCC one is slightly smaller. I have no idea if either the signature is legit or the advance crew poster story is accurate, but it seems like an odd thing for someone to go out of their way to fake. Anyhow...
This one is a bit of a crapshoot, but it was cheap, so my expectations aren't high. This is one of those Chinese "silk" posters that they describe being more like canvas. I ordered it in 1 sheet size, so fingers crossed it ends up looking correct. I enjoy Bond films, but am not a 007 poster collector. I don't think this is actual artwork being used for the promotion of the film, but I liked the idea of the Aston Martin being the subject (who'd have guessed?), but we'll have to see how it looks when it gets here:
Wow! Those are both wY cool. I especially like THE WORLD OF TOMORROW. Great poster design. I wish they'd used that. Love it. I am a Bond fan, and I dig the poster you snagged. Super job. Bravo.
Good Lawd, this post may get me kicked out of the club completely. This post has practically zero to do with movie posters, so feel free to turn away while you still can.
Among likes of many different musical genres, I enjoy the music of Miranda Lambert and her collaborative side project Pistol Annies. In the video for her song Fastest Girl In Town, the video starts out with a shot of a theater marquee and comes to focus on a faux movie poster in a lighted case for the Fastest Girl In Town feature that's playing there. There are a couple mentions online of that poster being available to winners of some sort of contest on her website, but I had zero luck in tracking down a copy. I thought a poster of it would be an interesting connector between interests in music, movie posters and cars, so I took the best image I could find of it and had a window card-ish sized poster print made. It's supposed to show up today, so fingers crossed it isn't blurry or pixelated. Anyhow, this is the image file I used:
Moving on, and departing from any direct connection with movies, I bought a poster featuring Vic Edelbrock Sr; who was an early hot rod racer on the dry lakes in California, and went on to form a speed equipment parts company that still exists today. The signatures are by his son, Vic Edelbrock Jr. and Vic Jr's daughter Christi:
Going farther down the rabbit hole of obscure automotive stuff, These measure about 38"x25" and were used somewhere in Chrysler/Plymouth/DeSoto dealerships. It looks like they're probably from the late 40's or early 50's:
The last one I'll bore you with today is just a poster I thought was cool with regards to automotive design. Supposedly it measures about 19"x25", but will probably look groovy in the rock-o-gallery somewhere once it's framed:
As always, thanks for looking. Barf bags are on a table to your left as you exit.
Thanks as always, MAGG-a-blood spattered tiki god! (filmed, of course in thrilling stereoscopic shriek-o-vision)
Yeah, no shame here. I know there's a significant chunk of our population who are deeply closeted appreciators of automotive culture relics of days past. I'm just here to help out and feed their need. Lurk if they must, but I'm happy to provide the service.
I have waaaaaaaay too many posters of all kinds already, but until I can shake the disease (as our pals in Depeche Mode would say), I suppose I'll keep filling the many voids in life with purchases of posters and other associated trinketry.
I definitely like automotive and car race posters, Rockabilly! No closet for me. Curves of Steel I really like. Miranda Lambart has a nice video on YouTube singing with George Strait on one of his tours. My aunt and uncle owned our local raceway when I was growing up and I spent many fun times there. We visited the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles in July and it was fantastic. Steel curves were everywhere! Okie
Thanks, Okie. I’m jealous of your past experience around the sights, sounds and smells of the racetrack, and more recently your trip to the Petersen. I’d love to get out there someday. I watched a video on YouTube earlier of Leslie Kendall and another staffer from the Petersen visiting 92 years young Gene Winfield at his shop in the desert. Like Bonneville and the dry lakes, places like Winfield’s and the recently up for sale Barris shop are sacred hot rod ground. Thanks for sharing.
Oh yeah, Rockabilly! Gene Winfield is a living legend! I used to go to Darryl Starbird's car shows growing up and love his custom cars, too. Did you get to go to custom car shows growing up? Man, I also really like Ed "Big Daddy" Roth's cars and have an original t-shirt/decal drawing from Big Daddy's shop. Now I get to go to Cruisin' the Coast each October. Good times! Okie
Spotted this lobby card on Bruce's site of a 1932 Ford Model B. I thought you may be interested if you haven't already see in previously.
I was reading all about Norman Graboski recently, who you are sure to know about. I was only aware of him as an being actor mainly appearing in minor film roles, that included a couple of Elvis movies Since discovered he also had designed hot rod and street rod cars as well.
Norman designed and built the 22T roadster that was used in the 1960's television series 77 Sunset Strip.
My contribution to a subject that I must admit that I know little about.
Great stuff! Thanks for posting. That’s a great lobby. I definitely keep my eye out for that one. I’m certainly no hot rod expert. I’m learning as I go. I’m interested in car culture in general, but hot rod history is an interesting part of it. Tommy Ivo was another actor (who was in a couple of the teen hot rod movies) also built cars and was a very successful drag racer. Maybe Santa will bring me a roadster for Christmas this year. I better get a bigger stocking!
As I was scrolling down the page i thought, hey! Mad at the World & Daddy-O are nice! Then I saw Hazard & Born to Speed, fantastic paper! Love the artwork on both-and I’m not too keen on most contemporary posters but the No Time to Die design is really cool! Great stuff, Matt! You’ve a wonderful collection and growing!

Just found it. It's going to be on the upcoming 3D BluRay for REVENGE OF THE SHOGUN WOMEN. Here's a bit specifically about COLLEGE CAPERS:
