Well I can speak to this poster. This was a quickly produced poster for
Festival use, mainly Telluride. It was at Telluride that Ted Pedas, the
owner of Circle Films and Theatres with his brother Jim, and midnight
movie guru and co-partner with Ben Barenholtz when they had Cinema
Thanks for this info! This is something I've always wondered about. One of my
favorite flicks, too.

Well I can speak to
I am currently auctioning three-sheets and six-sheets so of course they are
on my mind!
Here are my questions:
1) I see a fair number of the three-sheets and six-sheets where they are
currently below the price of the corresponding one-sheet! Is that often the
case, and if so, why do you think
Bruce -
Obviously you raise some interesting points. I think the answers to these
questions are tied together.
More people collect one sheets than larger size posters. Which, I guess,
reflects the price difference. The general public are not hard core collectors
who want larger size posters.
The simple answer is yesI will go look at your auctions now :-)
But also yes...just too damn biga one sheet takes less room...even
when it's stored in a cabinet...it's still easier to show friends a one
sheet when it's folded up then to try and find the time and the room to
show
I think a number of poster collectors have dreams of having a giant 3sheet or
6sheet hanging in their office or family room etc. I would love to have a 6
sheet mad mad world framed in my office (i.e. one whole wall). The cost of
linenbacking and framing a large format poster is daunting. I

Bruce,
I can tell you why 6 sheets and 3 sheets are frequently less popular in
one word. WIVES.Yes indeed, there isn't a seller anywhere who has not
experienced the near thrill of a sale of a large format poster only to be
nixed by the distaff member of the household. Where size
Freeman,
Do you have a spy camera hidden in my house? Indeed, my wife is
extremely understanding about SOME posters being displayed in our shared
living areas, like the dining living rooms. (We have very high
ceilings and lot of wall space there.) I have a Buena Vista Social
Club one sheet
Is that often the case?
Really? That's your question? After 20+ years in the business you decide
today that you have no idea if 3-sheets and 6-sheets often sell for above or
below the one-sheets?
That is kind of interesting though, because as I was looking through some of
the pressbooks
No camera..just been down this particular road.oh maybe 12
to 15 times! However I did have one client who let his wife pick out a 6
sheet to hang, as he thought, a wonderful compromise. What did she
pick? BAREFOOT IN THE F*CKING PARK. I mean c'monthat
From the perspective of someone who likes it on the wall:
Yes, the linen backing, the framing, if it merits protection then UV
is a nightmare at that size.
I love 6 shts, but only have one, and I'll most likely leave it at that.
For a 6 sht to be justified, taking up that much wall space, I
i did look at bruce's 3sheets last night, and some pieces of good titles are
ridiculously low.? but..many wait to place their bids on the day of sale.
thoughts---
1.? i just removed a 3sheet from my wall, and was able to place 6 inserts in
that space.? i hate not displaying beautiful
Barefoot in the Park? I'm growing a pair of ovaries just thinking
about that poster.

Sounds like a bit of a wive's tale to me...LOL
MOST people do not have the wall space to display these, especially 6
sheets and they are much more difficult to handle. even moreso, if
they have been backed... to even lay it out... clear the furniture
and make a 7 foot by 7 foot space

carefully remove the staples after they got tired of it (some great and big

don't talk back!!!

In the older films, it's the incredible amount of cigarette smoking that
always amazes me. How did anyone live past 40 with all that second-hand
smoke? Like Phil, I also love the tight-sweatered women with boobs

I always like to watch the background action. On occasion I've spotted movie
stars working as extras or doing bit parts before they were famous.
I always look at signs, too. Once, watching Sterling Hayden come out of a pawn

I like that question. Personally I love looking at vintage gadgets such as old

This really is not older films but 1960 tv shows. I watch a lot of the
Andy Griffith Shows and just recently saw a person of color on there for the
first time I have watched it. Maybe as I progress through the series I will

my co-focus is the cinematography and camera movement
so cinematographers like Russell Metty, Greg Toland, Rudolph Mate,
Karl Freund and Winton Hoch really hit my buttons..
Robert Surtees and his son Bruce are also photographers making
excellent use of the camera
there are many others.
