  • There is still some interesting (to me anyway) things about this poster that I do find interesting, Any ideas as to what they could be?
  • I thought the sae thing about Andy Devine, he seems to have been billed above Henry on other artwork. Sloppy work experience kids doing the posters here I assume!

  • Does anyone have, or perhaps even just even sighted a copy of this poster where another film title was applied to it?
  • Does the pictured male actor look a little familiar to anyone?

    Sure is. Now who then is the female actress he appears with on the poster. Any ideas anyone?


  • I immediately thought of this poster:

  • Well remembered Ves. The correct film, but it isn't Constance Bennet that we are after.

    Service de Luxe marked the film debut (and in a major role) of Vincent Price in 1938. The actress we are after though is Joy Hodges, a supporting actress in the film. as seen below with Vincent and Mischa Auer.




  • Does anyone have another example of this stock poster being used for another film?

    One final question to ask about this poster is does anyone have any thoughts regarding the A Universal Picture printed wording appearing over the black covered  over section on the bottom of the poster.
  • I have the poster but pretty sure its for the same film...I'll double check

    I have since ruled out my thinking about this alteration as I do not have any evidence to back it up., I would love to know the reason behind it though.

    A French film poster of the American film Attack! from 1956 with a mistake appearing on it. Shouldn't be hard to recognise. 
  • I do find it unexpected that no one has picked up on the error on the poster.

    Spot on Bruce. He was incorrectly credited as being Roger Strauss on the French poster.

     Most likely he will be remembered mainly for playiing Sgt. Stanisiaus ''Animal'' Kuzawa in Stalag 17 in 1953.

      
    As he appeared in Attack! and Stalag17.

    An Eaten Alive (1980) Australian daybill containing a printing error. Can you identify it?

    It sure is. Someone slept on the job here.

    Well, not sure that it is an error. According to a few sites she was billed alternatively as Me Me Lai (born 3 November 1951), sometimes billed as Me Me Lay or Meme Lay. According to imdb she was billed in the film as Marayå (as Me Me Lay)

    Sorry John but in IMDb she is billed as being Me Me Lai and as playing Mowara. On the original Italian version titled Mangiati Vivi!,  and also in the Spanish, Mexican and French film posters she is also credited as also being Me Me Lai. On the USA poster titled Doomed To Die, and some other foreign countries posters she didn't make the credits as she wasn't the main female star of the film.

    Well, actually she was known as Me Me Lai, Meme Lay, and Me Me Lay. Eaten Alive took scenes from the film Sacrifice aka Man From Deep River where she was billed as Me Me Lay so it is quite understandable that she was billed as Me Me Lay on Eaten Alive.

    From Sacrifice ......



    And from Wikipedia ....

  • Firstly the IMDb crediting of Me Me Lai as Maraya (as Me Me Lay ), that you attached above doesn't correspond with the top cast listing on IMDb that shows viewing it as solely as being Me Me Lai as Maraya.

    She was billed as having the name of Me Me Lay on film only in 1971 and 1972. After this she began being credited as Me Me Lai, lasting untIl her last released film when she was billed as being Meme Lay, which was also how she was billed on her first film appearance.

    I have just watched the Eaten Alive! English version opening credits on You tube where she is credited as being Me Me Lai.
    The Australian release of Eaten Alive! was released in Australia by Garland Productions who were a mall independent film distributor
    I once spoke to a person who had worked at Garland Productions who had released a lot of exploitation films. I was told by him some of their films had title changes in Australia and things done to further promote their films, With the two stars top billing order order and spelling perhaps they copied from the Australian daybill of the earlier released Man From Deep River (aka Sacrafice) film to help promote the film's release thus explaining  the incorrect spelling that occurred only in Australia,
