Exactly. As has been proved in this thread, there was a public announcement when 'Lion Films International' was formed in September 1955. To me, it is entirely out of the question that this name could've been used anytime before this date. Helmut I think Threadgall may just have been

Rich, With the pressbook I was thinking more of the distributor name on the pressbook itself. Poster images may help as well, but as you say, more of a guideline, since they might not have finalised every single detail before compiling the pressbook, and it might not be an exact copy

Neither the quad, 3-sht, domestic 1-sht or International are offset, they're hand drawn/stone litho. The disputed International is different plates to domestic 1-sht. My understanding is they reused those plates (for different posters.) So if saved (for 6+ years) what were created for

David, just curious: At this point, do you have any doubt that this poster was printed in 1955 or later? In my view, it has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the production company listed on the Bidll poster did not exist before 1955. Also, back in the days, rent was cheap, but the

I have wondered about the white poster with the central image for some time. I had maybe a dozen or so of them and I never kept one so I can't access it, though I can look at the picture of course when I listed the poster the first I checked the other sites for added info and as noted in

That's an interesting point. Warner appear to have shown the movie at a few drive-ins where in-car action seemed more important than screen-action, so it had a short (for the time) initial lifespan ending in June, 1994. So the Summerisle could possibly be considered the first general release

The issue of authenticating and dating movie posters having recently been shown to be problematic in some (possibly many) cases I would like to invite discussion on another British film, *The Wicker Man, 1973*. I am indebted for much of the information on this to the excellent book, *Inside The

Hi Tommy, Designer Craig Miller may still be on this forum - I asked him about it once - so he may wish to provide some info first-hand, but what you have appears to be broadly correct. I'd got the Abraxas release of the restored cut at around 1979, but if you've found a firm release date

I should add the Summerisle release is technically the first general release, as I seem to remember the Warner release was a selective trial run that flopped. Does that make the Summerisle poster a re-release poster or not?! Paul _www.movieposterstudio.com_
