Re: Hondo's This And That
Also unusual is that a full colour one sheet with revised artwork would be printed specifically for NZ release. They usually just altered original posters.

Grace Kelly's top half has been altered on the NZ poster, that's the most interesting thing. They did such things on posters in Ireland, the Catholic influenced censorship was strong there.

Re: Hondo's This And That
Thanks Lawrence Great research as always. It is a unique poster and no surprise that the NZ censors would mutilate the most pivotal scene in the movie.HONDO said:theartofmovieposters said:Oh wow! I'd not seen the NZ one.
Was the film heavily cut there?
I was originally informed that some minor cuts were made to the stabbing scene. On further investigation I have just received the following information stating the required cuts that the New Zealand Censor had ordered to be completed in 1954 to the submitted 16mm version.. No record available for the 35mm version, but being the year of the first release one has to believe the 16mm classification would also have applied to the 35mm version as well.

I was also informed that there are no records held that mention the reason why the word ''revised'' would have been printed on The N.Z. one sheet film poster.

Re: Hondo's This And That
Dial M for Murder ( 1954 ) original Australian one sheet poster, along with a New Zealand printed one sheet.
The N.Z. ''A'' censorship rating, and the word the word ''REVISED'' are both printed on the poster.This is most interesting and any comments regarding the reason for the usage of the word ''REVISED '' would be appreciated.

Re: What do you think about the rising prices of movie posters ?
Just go here (https://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archive.html) and start searching the 1,973,605 results and you will soon have concrete facts as to what is going up, what is going down, and what is moving sideways.
And unlike ANYWHERE else on the Internet, EVERY single one of the prices is GUARANTEED to have really happened, at EXACTLY the price listed (because if the sale fell through, or the item was returned, we delete the result).
Do some research and report back!

Re: What do you think about the rising prices of movie posters ?
As collectors get older, desirability of movie posters changes. 30 years ago, 40s and 50s posters were highly sought after because collectors remembered seeing the films and liked the stars. Many of those titles are no longer popular because younger collectors have never heard of a lot of the films. 20 years ago, I was selling posters like Big Trouble in Little China, Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, Top Gun and many of the good 80s titles for peanuts. Now those 80s titles are extremely popular and prices have skyrocketed because the younger collectors identify with those films. I am finding that there is a lot of interest in 90s and more recent titles as well. I still love the older posters but many have dropped in value.

Certainly 80s and 90s titles are on the rise, but some older lesser-known titles seem to be going the other way
