EdM said:Just signed up today. I have been collecting movie posters for a couple of years. I have a couple of hundred now, mostly well known movies from the 50's and 60's. Have several one sheets from the early Bond movies and the most valuable is a Psycho one sheet in fine condition.
I used to build collector cars, so have several posters from the hot rod genre and am playing around with some amateur restorations. Hope to learn a lot here.
Good day to you and welcome !
A couple of hundred ! Wow ! I started collecting a few months ago and I'm broke right now, but maybe I'll catch you some day, Hehehe !
I suppose you already know (I didn't when I came here) it exist a very good "restoration" thread in this website, I think "Charlie" is the name to look for

I am going to soon present a case in favour of the known Devil Girl From Mars Australian daybill as having been originally printed for the first release in Australia.

Re: A Do You Know Your B Movies Quiz
That lot were too hard for me but keep them coming and I'll try harder.
Re: A Do You Know Your B Movies Quiz
Correct. Cell 2455, Death Row from 1955.Bruce said:X4 is Cell 2455, Death Row
Correct as well. The Land Unknown from 1957.Bruce said:X2 is The Land Unknown
In both case I needed your clues!
It is certainly understandable that with some entries that will be presented here on this new and bound to be harder quiz, that clues on occasions will most likely be required. I am pleased that my clues, as a rule work when required in assisting in the quest to find answers.

Re: Hondo's This And That
Agee in general with what you have to say, but in this case the situation is I believe completely different.Bruce said:I can't speak for this example, but at least 90% of the time (and maybe closer to 99%) when I am presented with two posters, and one has the original releasing studio and the other does not, the one WITH the studio proves to be first release, because studios ALWAYS handled the first release, while often they handed off re-releases to smaller companies. This is especially true with United Artists, which in the 1920s and 1930s did the first release and almost never did any re-releases.
My current thinking is that Peter's above suggestion sounds the most logical explanation.dedeposter said:Do you think the one without the WB logo was printed first and then reprinted with the logo added when they realised the error?
