Re: [MOPO] POSTER WITHIN A FILM

[Marty Davis]

Back in the early to mid-1980's, Case Western Reserve University (in Cleveland, 
OH) continuously ran unbelievable and erudite film programs.  They had a series 
of about 12 silent films directed by Japanese master, Yasujiro Ozu.  Among 
those dozen films were five or six films that had American 1-sheets of 
recognizable films, hanging on walls.  It was really bizarre.  No mention or 
acknowledgment of them was made.  If I recall correctly one of the posters was 
King Vidor's SHOW PEOPLE.  To my knowledge, Ozu was never in the United States, 
but he was an avid film buff of American films.  I suppose posters were shipped 
along with the films that Japanese studios legally booked, and somehow Ozu 
managed to obtain them from the theatre managers.  I know that Criterion has at 
least one release of multiple Ozu silent titles.  The quality of the prints 
that I saw in the 1980's was excellent, so I would think the Criterion release 
would be of excellent
 quality.  If anyone has the time and desire to screen those films, I would 
appreciate it if he could confirm my recollections, and post any information 
about the 1-sheet images seen in the films.

Last night I watched a DVD of the Ronald Neame film, THE MAN WHO NEVER WAS 
(1956).  There is a scene in the film where two cars are en route to a
destination.  In one of the shots, in the background, there is a billboard for 
HITLER'S CHILDREN.  I couldn't make out much of the art on the poster, but the 
title
was clearly evident.  These kinds of contextual juxtapositions are common in 
movies today, but in this film that poster - it looks to be a British six sheet 
- could just
as easily  have been any 1942 film.  Why HITLER'S CHILDREN?  I can't help but 
believe there was a kind of knowingness in that choice.  For those of you who 
have not
seen the movie, it concerns an effort to deceive the German military as to the 
true location of Allied invasion of Europe.

What do you remember about movie posters in films?  When are they just props 
and when do they comment on something?  Incidentally, the DVD from Netflix
was a quite respectable transfer of a CinemaScope picture.  Not Blu-Ray, though.

Re: [MOPO] FA: 562 oversized movie posters of all types close in 13 hours, lots of good titles, 46% are still $5 or under

Call me crazy but I think the 562 "very oversized" and "oversized"

just looked
them over and I saw lots and lots of real bargains, even on the best items

If this new project is also 1963 perhaps that's also Kennedy themed...
You should send them a load of Great Escape paper and bill them accordingly.

Re: [MOPO] POSTER WITHIN A FILM

[Ron Moore]

Yeah, I've had that happen. Years ago, when the Oliver Stone film JFK was being 
filmed,the Prop Master (one Grey Smith !!) called me looking for a one sheet 
for War Is Hell. That was the film playing at the theatre where Lee Harvey 
Oswald was taken into custody after the assassination of Kennedy. I found him 
one, went and saw the movie when it came out... and whadaya know? It never 
appeared on camera as Stone didn't angle the camera on the theatre poster case. 
But at least you know it was authentic to the time.

The Posters are original, and come from a Regional Film
Archive in Mexico City.

They were designed in Hollywood and printed in Mexico.

Each Poster contains the same design elements found on
Posters from the US.

They contain both stills from the Film and also design
elements from the One Sheet Poster.

 

The typography, photos, artwork, stars names, credits,
drawings, scenes, emotional impact, 

appeal, and intrinsic value are
virtually the same as Posters from Hollywood or any other 

international Metropolis where the film had been shown.

 

However, the layout will be much flashier, more graphically
intensive, or even more lurid.

The size is appx. 13" x 17"---over 40% larger than
a standard Lobby Card.

As such, each Poster is a cross between a Jumbo Lobby Card,
Title Card, and a One Sheet Poster.

The Posters were printed on either heavy Cardboard Stock,
thick fine Linen Paper, or 

sturdy Poster Stock.

 

Overall very good condition, altho there will be occasional
tears, pinholes, stains, etc.

There are eight different variations for each
poster---containing different stills from the film.

Some dupes.

Re: [MOPO] POSTER WITHIN A FILM

[Larry Springer]

In one of the Magnificent 6 1/2 comedy shorts (England's version of The 
Little Rascals), there is a scene where the kids are either in an alley or 
down a small lane and posted on a building or on a fence is the British Quad 
for EVIL OF FRANKENSTEIN.  I don't think this was a prop.  Most of these 
shorts where shot on location.  I can not remember the title of the short. 
Do any of our MOPO members in England know the title??

I take this post in the spirit of levity in which I'm sure it was offered.  
I've had art director's (staff) call me and say, in effect, "we don't care what 
it is, as long as it's from 1963" or whatever year!
So, sometimes a poster is just a poster, isn't it?

Re: [MOPO] POSTER WITHIN A FILM

[Sean Linkenback]

The last Oliver Stone movie "Savages" had several Universal horror one-sheets 
in the background including the 1925 Phantom of the Opera, Frankenstein Meets 
the Wolf Man and a few others.
(Guess when you run a pot-growing enterprise, you naturally decorate the 
offices with Universal Horror posters).

[Simon Oram]

Jean Luc Godard was so impressed with the Italian poster for Vivre sa Vie 
that he had it planted into the background in Le Mepris:

That's a great one.
UFA bunging up worthless, leftover posters as set dressing.

Really like the use of the "Call Me Bwana" poster in From Russia With Love, 
though presumably a studio mock up.

Last night I watched a DVD of the
Ronald Neame film, THE MAN WHO NEVER WAS (1956).  There
is a scene in the film where two cars are en route to a
destination.  In one of the shots, in the background,
there is a billboard for HITLER'S CHILDREN.  I couldn't
make out much of the art on the poster, but the title
was clearly evident.  These kinds of contextual
juxtapositions are common in movies today, but in this film
that poster - it looks to be a British six sheet - could
just
as easily  have been any 1942 film.  Why HITLER'S
CHILDREN?  I can't help but believe there was a kind of
knowingness in that choice.  For those of you who have
not
seen the movie, it concerns an effort to deceive the German
military as to the true location of Allied invasion of
Europe.

What do you remember about movie posters in films?
When are they just props and when do they comment on
something?  Incidentally, the DVD from Netflix
was a quite respectable transfer of a CinemaScope
picture.  Not Blu-Ray, though.

Re: [MOPO] POSTER WITHIN A FILM

[Jeff Potokar]

In a film, posters (like any prop) are never just randomly selected  
or used "just because."


If a particular poster (or posters) is in the shot, the director has  
thought about this choice carefully, and not simply left it to the  
art director to just "buy and tack up some posters" to make the set  
look pretty.


There will always be a reason or meaning of some kind (whether it is  
known to the audience or not. :)

My favourite is in the Blob where the theatre is showing Daughter of Horror and 
you can see the rare (?) poster for this great, obscure movie in the box out 
front and it's the actual movie playing onscreen during the shots inside.  
Great continuity!!

All the best,

Re: [MOPO] POSTER WITHIN A FILM

[Adrian Cowdry]

The best poster within a film for me was Call Me Bwana in From Russia With 
Lovea Saltzman-Broccoli movie within a Saltzman-Broccoli movie and of 
course it is a front for the hideout of the Bulgarian assassin Krilencu...Anita 
Ekberg's mouth is the trap door..."She should have kept her mouth shut!"

Then in The Mechanic when Charles Bronson turns up to Jill Ireland's place the 
posters on the wall I am sure were there for Michael Winner to take home after 
the shoot...King Kong amongst others.

 

 

 This never happened to the other fella...

Re: [MOPO] POSTER WITHIN A FILM

[Neil Jaworski]

there was an interesting thread about this on britmovie.co.uk a couple of years 
ago.

http://www.britmovie.co.uk/forums/general-film-chat/106555-posters-films.html


i can't think of many off the top of my head, but i remember last time i 
watched Play It Again, Sam that i was scouring the b/g for original Bogart 
paper...

Last night I watched a DVD of the Ronald Neame film, THE MAN WHO NEVER WAS 
(1956).  There is a scene in the film where two cars are en route to a
destination.  In one of the shots, in the background, there is a billboard for 
HITLER'S CHILDREN.  I couldn't make out much of the art on the poster, but the 
title
was clearly evident.  These kinds of contextual juxtapositions are common in 
movies today, but in this film that poster - it looks to be a British six sheet 
- could just
as easily  have been any 1942 film.  Why HITLER'S CHILDREN?  I can't help but 
believe there was a kind of knowingness in that choice.  For those of you who 
have not
seen the movie, it concerns an effort to deceive the German military as to the 
true location of Allied invasion of Europe.

What do you remember about movie posters in films?  When are they just props 
and when do they comment on something?  Incidentally, the DVD from Netflix
was a quite respectable transfer of a CinemaScope picture.  Not Blu-Ray, though.

Re: [MOPO] POSTER WITHIN A FILM

[Ron Moore]

There are lots of cases of movie posters in the background of other movies. One 
of my personal favorites is in The Maltese Falcon. As Bogart arrives on the 
crime scene of his murdered partner, in the background we can clearly see a one 
sheet posted to a wall for Swing Your Lady-- a film Bogart hated and claimed he 
never made... It was just a guy that looked like him. John Huston was obviously 
having some fun at Bogart's expense.

[MOPO] POSTER WITHIN A FILM

[Kirby McDaniel]

Last night I watched a DVD of the Ronald Neame film, THE MAN WHO NEVER WAS 
(1956).  There is a scene in the film where two cars are en route to a
destination.  In one of the shots, in the background, there is a billboard for 
HITLER'S CHILDREN.  I couldn't make out much of the art on the poster, but the 
title
was clearly evident.  These kinds of contextual juxtapositions are common in 
movies today, but in this film that poster - it looks to be a British six sheet 
- could just
as easily  have been any 1942 film.  Why HITLER'S CHILDREN?  I can't help but 
believe there was a kind of knowingness in that choice.  For those of you who 
have not
seen the movie, it concerns an effort to deceive the German military as to the 
true location of Allied invasion of Europe.

What do you remember about movie posters in films?  When are they just props 
and when do they comment on something?  Incidentally, the DVD from Netflix
was a quite respectable transfer of a CinemaScope picture.  Not Blu-Ray, though.

#

 

The Posters are original, and come from a Regional Film
Archive in Mexico City.

They were designed in Hollywood and printed in Mexico.

Each Poster contains the same design elements found on
Posters from the US.

They contain both stills from the Film and also design
elements from the One Sheet Poster.

 

The typography, photos, artwork, stars names, credits,
drawings, scenes, emotional impact, 

appeal, and intrinsic value are
virtually the same as Posters from Hollywood
or any other 

international Metropolis where the film had been shown.

 

However, the layout will be much flashier, more graphically
intensive, or even more lurid.

The size is appx. 13" x 17"---over 40% larger than
a standard Lobby Card.

As such, each Poster is a cross between a Jumbo Lobby Card,
Title Card, and a One Sheet Poster.

The Posters were printed on either heavy Cardboard Stock,
thick fine Linen Paper, or 

sturdy Poster Stock.

 

Overall very good condition, altho there will be occasional
tears, pinholes, stains, etc.

There are eight different variations for each
poster---containing different stills from the film.

Some dupes.

[MOPO] FA: 562 oversized movie posters of all types close in 13 hours, lots of good titles, 46% are still $5 or under

[Bruce Hershenson]

Three times *EVERY *week we auction hundreds of items that sell for low,
low prices (we actually sell lots and lots of items for $1 and $2, and
around half of all that we auction goes for $14 and under). But Thursday
night's 562 "very oversized" and "oversized" items (they ship in a large
flat package OR a tube over 30" long), closing tonight, on *THURSDAY **May
30th (at **http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/sort/4/14.html)*, represent
*REALLY* incredible values, and yet many of these are currently languishing
at low, low, prices!

With just 13 hours to go, the* **562 *"very oversized" and "oversized" items
(including a truly incredible selection of 30x40s and 40x60s)  include 36
items with no bids (6%), 170 items at $1 or with no bids (30%), 206 items
at $2 or less (37%), 220 items at $3 or less (39%), 238 items at $4 or less
(42%), and 257 items at $5 or less (46%)! * *

*It seems really possible that there are so many insanely low prices on
many of these REALLY cool items (some of which are incredibly scarce and
seem like they should be in a major auction) because many of the bidders
are distracted by all the great items currently up for bid in our June
Major Auction. But if so, then this may be the time for incredible deals on
these items, and you should be looking them over VERY carefully!*

Of course, once you get *OVER* just $5, you start hitting lots and lots of
"better" titles, but an awful lot of those are currently at
*VERY*reasonable prices, far under what some of them have sold for in
the past
(the ones we can find any record of selling in the past!) including (click
on the titles to go to the actual auctions, or click on the photo icon to
just see the image):
