Not much going on here in the world o' framing, but I did get one done over the weekend. A Reckless Age daybill got demoted out of the frame and Fascino Criminale took it's place. Again I apologize for the lighting in this joint. The picture is craptastic, but the poster turned out pretty good.
As always, my apologies in advance for the size and quality of these pics. It was time to swap out the Belgian posters in the living room, so here's what will be up for a season or two.
And it was time to change out the posters in the stairwell too. They went from this:
To this:
I'm going to try and get the Night Moves poster matted and framed up today, so watch this space for further developments. Thanks for looking.
Great poster with the film having some history. Re-edited from the British film Women Without Men.
Women Without Men (1956 film)
Women Without Men is a 1956 British drama film directed by Elmo Williams and Herbert Glazer and starring Beverly Michaels, Joan Rice and Hermione Baddeley.[1] The screenplay concerns a woman who is unjustly sent to prison for an act which was really one of self-defense, and who escapes from prison in order to keep a rendezvous with her would-be fiancé, who has been out of the country and unaware of her plight.
For U.S. release the film was retitled Blonde Bait and substantially re-edited, with new scenes filmed by the American distributors (with additional American actors - e.g. Jim Davis replacing Paul Carpenter as Nick) and notable character and plot changes, such as turning the heroine into a gangster's moll, for whom the prison break in engineered by the police in hopes she will lead them to her much-wanted fugitive boyfriend.[2] Other new actors were Richard Travis, Harry Lauter and Paul Cavanagh. Beverly Michaels also appeared in the film's new ending sequence. ( IMDb )
The film was originally made by Hammer Film Productions.
Any U.K posters of Women Without Men are extremely hard to locate . Only four 8'' x 10'' b & w movie stills were located , including the above example.
Nothing suuuuuuper exiting here. I managed to get two relatively new ones matted and in frames:
The Fast Lady Danish poster - just a sliver of mat at the top and bottom of a quad-size frame:
The Night Moves German A1:
And lastly, not an official movie poster as I don't know if one exists, but I had an inexpensive 24x36 print made of an image I found on Google. I had emailed the chap that made the film to see if there were any actual posters available to purchase or a better file of the photo, but received no response at all. At 24x36 it's a bit blurry, but it'll be fine. It has a good title and image, so I like it. An unofficial The Devil At Your Feet 1 sheet:
Egads. The last time I posted anything to this thread was June 2022? I have definitely backed off framing quite a bit because there's so much that hasn't made it up on the walls. I keep having to take stuff out of frames to make room for other framed stuff. Anyhow, I'll have to see what else I've done. These recent few can't possibly be it. At any rate, on with the post.
This one I just put in a chunky, vintage looking frame, but I think it might look better matted in a larger frame.
For being a 2 page magazine advertisement, these didn't frame up too bad.
Following a lead I read on the IMDB, this is an article that appeared in the 1951 Hollywood Album, a hardback book published in Great Britan. I managed to find someone across the pond who was selling the article on ebay. One of the pages of the 3 page article was printed on both sides of the page, so I couldn't just display the original. I scanned all three pages, and had a print made from the collage. The article was to promote the 1950 movie that Jimmy Lydon starred in, Hot Rod. I'm probably the only car related movie paper nerd out there who would go to any kind of effort to track this kinda thing down, but it'll be cool to display with the poster(s).
Lastly for now, and not super surprising it would be automobile related, I managed to get the front cover of the Speed Girl pressbook in a frame. Even with missing the entire lower corner, it still looks pretty decent.
I may also frame up a couple interior pages from the pressbook, as they're kind of groovy as well. We'll see.
Here's a quickie post to help answer the question (that no one is asking) about what to do with partial 3 sheet posters. It's a happy ending to two otherwise fairly derelict items. YEARS ago I bought a really large frame (the opening is 52x40 inches) at a thrift store for 15 bucks. I thought I got a steal, as it would be super expensive to have something framed that size. I thought that, until I figured out that there aren't really any posters that fit well in a frame that size. With the proper matting I suppose, any poster could probably go in a frame that big, but none of the art supply stores anywhere around here sell matting that big.
So, the frame sat (and sat and sat). Enter an ebay auction a couple weeks ago for a partial 3 sheet (top section) of Tarzan and the She-Devil. It's in arguably pretty poor condition, but it too I scored for 15 bucks (plus shipping, of course).
When I got the poster, I measured it to see what the size actually was. The measurements sounded dangerously close to the forsaken frame, so I looked up the measurements I had written down for it. It was close enough to make it work. Since the matting was large enough that I didn't have a straight edge long enough to help trim it down with the mat cutting tool, I decided to leave it rather than risk screwing it up. The result crops more from the image than I'd like, but it works out ok.
So, for plus or minus 30 bucks (and a few yards of document repair tape), I now have a gigantic Tarzan and the She-Devil poster. I have no idea what to do with it or where to put it, but for now we'll just consider it a poster success story.
(Suburban Mayhem 1 sheet peeking through there for scale)
