Glenn and Greg I had the «pleasure» of watching “Salo, 100 Days of Sodom” on the big screen. Certain scenes have stayed with me for over 40 years. I guess you’d have to say it’s a memorable movie. Martin Von: MoPo List Im Auftrag von Greg Douglass Gesendet: Donnerstag, 13. Janu

Re: [MOPO] Marilyn Monroe Autographed Photo

Hi Channing This is 100% not genuine in my view, probably secretarial rather than a forgery made for profit. Marliyn’s autograph is usually far looser and illegible than this, particularly by the time this photo was taken. Best Martin Sent from my iPhone > On 15 Sep 2019, at 23:44, Channing

[MOPO] "What Price Hollywood?" at the MOMA, New York

Have any early birds seen this exhibition yet? If so, what did you think of it? I'm interested because I've got the crazy idea of flying from Zurich to New York to see it and a couple of other exhibitions. Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___

[MOPO] AW: [MOPO] Ira Resnick Auction At Bonhams

Hi Joe and Ira, just wondering why you went for Bonhams rather than a more recognised movie poster auction house like Heritage? Better terms I guess. If this is too “delicate” a question just ignore it. Great material, but that goes without saying! Best, Martin Von: MoPo List [mailto:mopo-l@

With all that sunlight I hope the owner is just displaying copies or is keeping the curtains shut during daylight hours. Rather defeats the purpose of having great sea-views I know. The reds in that fantastic Frankenstein poster will wash in no time with the light levels shown in the photos.

[MOPO] Interesting results at a UK auction today

Nice group of rare quads came up at a provincial auction house in the UK today. The highest prices were for War Of The Worlds (£18,000), Forbidden Planet (£7,600), Dr. No (yet again - £5,600) and Day The Earth Stood Still (tape marks to front £4,300). All of these amounts are before buyer’s pre

However good or bad the Excalibur photos are, I think there are certain minimum standards of taste that should be respected in a group such as this. It is quite alright to say in no uncertain terms that something should be better, particularly if it relates to a commercial operation, but that s

Thanks for your support Paul. I also went to that Estorick exhibition and felt exactly the same way – great to see so many large posters even if some were not the best they could have had. I can’t really remember the booklet. I think I made do with an calendar of Italian movie posters.

Does anyone have an idea of where I could pick up a new copy of the Criterion Collection "Pandora's Box" DVD set? I can only find used versions on the internet and these are not exactly cheap ($150+). I understand that Criterion only make US-coded DVDs. Is it right that US-coded DVDs won'

[MOPO] ebay gazumping

I’m not sure if the term gazumping travels well but it basically means that someone agrees a sale and then backs out because a better offer is received. I suspect I have been gazumped on ebay. I was the highest bidder on a lovely original Monroe photo and paid the £100+ straightaway. Three day
