Re: Hondo's This And That
Thanks for your thoughts.DiegoP said:I suppose that is because is no space to show the phone off the hook, the canvas is too narrow vertically. Also, the "controversial" parts are in deep black as the only light comes from the right, wich, curiously, I prefer in this case, because gives to the scene more intrigue and darkness. I like this poster image better. Cheers !HONDO said:I will share some more information on this subject soon.
Before I get to do this though are there any comments to be made regarding the following poster image?

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.
