RIP Albert Kallis
RIP Albert Kallis 
Together with Reynold Brown, Kallis was the pre-eminent 1950s horror/sci-fi movie poster artist, and, like Brown, he presented images FAR more appealing than the movies themselves!
And his very long life was filled with FAR more than just movie poster illustration! See https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/latimes/name/albert-kallis-obituary?id=55873612

For example many people attribute Creature From the Black Lagoon to Kallis, but I have never found the slightest hard evidence, just "I heard it from a friend".

Because of this article and my dialogue with him I have previously mentioned him here on the forum. You can search out Aub Moseley in the search provision provided here, where he is spoken about in a number of threads.
The following beautiful Gentlemen Prefers Blondes daybill that he did the artwork for I am so pleased he is now credited as being the poster artist.
And this is for everyone reading this!

''When Aub Moseley prepared the daybill for Gentleman Prefer Blondes he also worked on producing daybills for Sailor Of The King and City Of Bad Men as well from the large one sheet.
His City Of Bad Men daybill appears below. As yet no sign of the Sailor Of The King daybill though.
Aub also designed the following Moulin Rouge daybill, along with the yet to be sighted original Bitter Springs daybill.
The last poster worked on by Aub at W.E.Smith printers was for a forthcoming film of the Royal Tour.
All the above information taken from the Newcastle. N.S.W, newspaper article dated January 2, 1954.
Although with his Gentlemen Prefer Blondes daybill version Aub Moseley where he stuck close to the U.S.A. poster artwork, interestingly he designed City Of Bad Men daybill differently than all the U.S. poster artwork.
He left off the featured two stars of the film Jeanne Crain and Dale Robertson image and instead used Richard Boone's dramatic gunfight image that had very minor placement on all the U.S. posters artwork.
John's article titled ''Aub Moseley One Of Our Great Australian t Movie Poster Artists'' is currently located on John's website. It is a combination of material sourced from the previously published 1954 newspaper article, and information gained from John's conversation with Aub.
I will now add it to the ''Artist For W.E.Smith Posters-revealed'' thread as well.
