Just picked up yesterday and this is the only movie poster I have ever paid to have framed! Richer tones and more detailed than the W.E. daybill. Six inch rating circle seems more appropriate for a three sheet.
I've had that poster for a few years. Got it off a fellow who purchased it from the Regal Theatre (Perth) in the 1970s. They auctioned off all the old posters and that's where Matt's Prince & Showgirl 1sht also originated from. Rear Window is backed, but not laminated. Was in a cheap frame with broken glass when I got it. Appears unused and I'm glad there is no white paper coming through from the folds. Never seen another Aussie 1sht. 2.5m Terminator banner is next to go up on adjacent wall. Couple of framed daybills for 20K Leagues & To Kill Mockingbird will also get the nod. Plan to include some original deco cinema seating & a 1930s Aussie projector in the corner.

Price is not too bad, actually. Can get two rows of 3 for $1K all up delivered. They disassemble for shipping. Kind of hoping to buy local, but will see. Good thing about those ones is they have the decorative cast iron on both ends. Some aren't like that. Different styles below. You have to mount them on a wooden base / plank, so extra cost there.
It is the craziest story… I bought this many years ago and had a spotlight (snap frame) made for it. They didn’t have sheeting big enough but convinced me that two sheets wouldn’t look bad and it really didn’t. But over a couple of years or so the sheets splits down the middle and they poster started pouring out. I tried many fixes but eventually rolled it up and put it in a corner.
I even bought an insert and hung it for a few or so years. Almost sold off the sixer at one point.
Then I am on Facebook and see someone else having framed a TCAT six sheet. I ask where/when - turns out a local Houston dealer sold it and found a place to get it framed. I call the dealer up and he is telling me about how this guy can source large plexi etc. he give me the name number.
The framer was less than two miles from my front door. The other guy had flown into Houston and rented a truck to drive it back to Maine or something.
So I take mine in and they were like - we just framed one of these!
He even delivered it for $20 since I was so close.
But this TCAT is a fighter - it already started rippling in the frame. Just this week I added some padding in the void behind the frame to compress the poster. It’s looking better after a few days.
Hi Charlie, Did you go ahead and put the larger plexi in the Spotlight Displays' frame or get a whole new frame? I have some big Spotlight frames, though I like to move them around, take to shows sometimes to display. and have added wood support to those larger than a one sheet. Some large, archival foam core can provide support, too. I'm going to ask Spotlight on my next large frame to make the snap frame so it can accommodate some foam core as well. Best, Okie

Great poster Mark. Have you ever seen another copy of this one sheet?
Here is a handy checklist to help tell eMoviePoster.com apart from all other major auctions!

Loving it for now!
