March 2020
Thanks for the kind words for my post in last month's recent acquisitions thread, guys. There's quite a few here, and probably only 1 that's actually from March. I'm just catching up with regards to poster purchases that are relatively recent. In no particular order (except for leaving a non-movie poster for last):
The Racers R61 - very similar to the '55 1 sheet, just a lot less blue background.
Holy crap. As always, sorry for the attack of the 50 foot poster image. Sheesh. I still don't know of a reliable way to resize images to post here. Wordpress will allow for resizing photos, but seemingly only when publishing within their website.
I've always thought about collecting posters for Serials, but I REALLY don't need another genre to collect. I ran across this one that has a neato vintage car image, and it has a cool title too. It ain't much on color, but it fits the bill just fine.
Next up, more automobile art (gee, big surprise, eh?). This one's an ex-Yugoslavian poster for the Italian film, Giovani Mariti (Young Husbands). It's literally rough around the edges, but just like the phrase we've made fun of for years, "it's difficult to find in any condition".
Next up, a bit of Aussie love for some 50's rock & roll (sorry for the exceptionally poor seller's pic).
Aaaaaaaand a bit more vehicular art, this time with a Belgain poster for In Fast Company:
Next up, a lobby card set for Dragstrip Riot. Movie posters for this title still exceed my poster budget, but I'm happy to have the cards for now. As evidenced by the photo below, a few of the cards had a seedy second life, which I think is pretty amusing. Interestingly enough, for a film that has the word "Dragstrip" in the title, only one of the cards even has a partial picture of a car.
Another poor photo, this time from the postwar era of sportscar racing:
Next up, just a groovy title card from what was probably a forgettable 40's comedy:
Coincidentally, from the same year as Hat Check Honey (1944), the US 1 sheet for Are These Our Parents:
We're getting close to the end, now. If you're not bored to tears already, there's not much more to go. Next, another Terry Toons 1 sheet, this time from 1941, if I remember right. (yay! a normal size photo!):
A more modern one for me, but c'mon, it's Bettie!
And lastly, as promised (or threatened), a non movie poster, but rather just a wilding/promo poster for a Reverend Horton Heat album, with cool artwork by a chap named Max Grundy:
Whew! That's it for now. I think I'm all caught up.

Great paper Rock!
….Fast Company, Hat Check Honey & Jamboree are very cool as is the Betty Paige, but Secret Agent X-9 is outta this world! Great looking poster with the car and minimal colors!
Kidding, of course (except about Detroit). Very nice haul, there. You chaps north of the border are a firearms happy bunch, as evidenced by that group of posters there. Good thing folks down here in the states aren't like that.
Here are the ones I didn't show from the same seller:
Need me that jojo rabbit Adv.
Their design tends to be way more risky than the duller one sheets.
Charlie-really liking Once Upon and Jojo Rabbit (fingers) is really cool!
Sorry for the odd angle on this one. It was the only way I could eliminate most of the glare. I don't think this is a film I want to see, but the poster is groovy:
Next up, one that I can finally check off my list, and I'm happy to have it in insert form:
And the last one for today, a half sheet that I'm rather chuffed to have finally acquired, and a very nice copy at that:
What a difference a country can make. An Australian daybill printed for the same film and classified ''For general exhibition''. The daybill certainly presents like it is a completely different genre film than in the way the U.S. insert has depicted the film.
