Great Poster but just wee too much Yellow for my liking.

Agree the OS for Casablanca is very nice, though I don't mind the DB either.
Maybe it is more full on in person???

I'm a fan of the red too. I have the re-release daybill (post Awards) and it looks quite striking.

Talking about red then. Black Gunn ( 1972 ) daybill red colour not to my liking at all, and regarding The Collector ( 1965 ) I am not sure about this one. May look better looking at the actual poster.

Black Gunn looks pink to me...I am not a huge fan of pink at the best of times, so I am biased.

I think the Collector would get annoying really quickly!

You most likely then won't be a fan of this W.W. And The Dixie Dancekings ( 1975 ) daybill then? I have never liked the look of this poster. Probably the worst usage of pink that I have ever sighted on a daybil.

This daybill of What A Woman from 1943 is an example of where the applied limited use of yellow could be very effective indeed.

Agree, and very pretty at that!

Arizona Bound ( 1941 ) Australian daybill and an Argentinean poster, also with a red background and a similar design.

Is the Australian poster with the red and yellow combination too much do you think, or do you believe it would look amazing if the actual poster was sighted?

theartofmovieposters · June 2021

I have a fair number of posters with alot of red and have had them up.
I have to say, they are nowhere near as in your face than those with a whole lot of yellow...but that's just me

Flame Of Araby ( 1951) U.S.A. insert poster and an Australian daybill. What happened here? I need my sunglasses.

theartofmovieposters · July 2021

Oh man. So bad....so so bad.

Matt · July 2021

Yeah, yellow overload ouch!

HONDO · December 2023

The Lusty Men ( 1952 ) Australian 3 sheet and daybill posters with the colours red and yellow just a tad overused.

( John )

White Christmas ( 1954 ) Australian daybill and a U.S.A. insert poster.

Comparing the two posters I certainly prefer the more traditional looking U.S. version. To me the Australian poster artist went a little too far in applying the yellow and red colours to the poster.

I wasn't sure where to include the following, but finally I have decided to include it here on this thread.

The yellow background now appearing on Bruce's eMovieposter.com website I do find a little distracting. Is it just me thinking this or does anyone else agree with me?

.Just looked and it doesn't bother me, I think the logo update was about time though!

Thanks for your response Peter. Anyone else though care to comment?

Lawrence, I think over time you will adapt to it just fine. Quite a few older people (including myself!) don't like ANY change!

Thanks for reminding me of that fact Bruce.

I'm not a fan of the colour either to be honest, but at least its more muted than some of those posters.

dedeposter · February 9

I know it's a movie ticket, but it has a hint of a Wonka Golden Ticket too.

Spot on Bruce as I have become accustomed to the yellow and it no longer bothers me.

Great Poster but just wee too much Yellow for my liking.
