Re: Hondo's This And That
This "artist's" work is so bad it is great (I imagine it is the same person who did the Godzilla).
Too bad they did not do Old Master restoration. They might have outdone this!

Re: Hondo's This And That
There was a poster artist, or possibly more than one that appeared to have started in the1950's to add what looks like lipstick to male actor's images that were featured on Australian daybill and other film posters. The films that received this treatment appear to have been for later non first release posters. and where no printer's credits where included, or from F. Cunninghame printed posters. Some examples for Lost In Alaska, Hobson's Choice, Fireman Save My Child, The Gay Dog, The Jolson Story and The Wild One follow below
These examples are only a small number of images I have where this practice was applied.
My question is does anyone else have any other Australian posters featuring male actors wearing this lipstick looking appearance? If anyone happens to have any other really over the top poster examples it would be great to see them added here.

Re: The Science Fiction Quiz
Correct for 235. I had thought that after adding my last clue an answer shouldn't to be far away. I had viewed this film on late night television many years ago, and I do remember it to be a real stinker.dedeposter said:Got it...The Giant Claw (1957) - the clue...Sam Katzman

Re: Hondo's Daybill and One Sheet Q&A [Re-Titled]
Yes, with a hand drawn NRC printed on it! Worst poster design ever, for the Worst films ever made. Rather appropriate.
Re: Great Poster but just wee too much Yellow for my liking.
I know it's a movie ticket, but it has a hint of a Wonka Golden Ticket too.
Re: Great Poster but just wee too much Yellow for my liking.
I'm not a fan of the colour either to be honest, but at least its more muted than some of those posters.

Thanks for reminding me of that fact Bruce.Bruce said:Lawrence, I think over time you will adapt to it just fine. Quite a few older people (including myself!) don't like ANY change!

Re: A Do You Know Your Classic Movies Quiz.
If I had solely included only limited undisputed ''true classic'' films such as Citizen Kane, Casablance and The Wizard Oz in this thread when I had started it here in September 2022 the quiz would have long past run out of new film images to include, and I would have since ceased running it.Bruce said:Point of order. Does "do you know your classic movies?" refer to well regarded movies?
I will have to broaden my guesses when looking at images in this thread.
There are many meanings for classic and one is just high quality, I base almost all of my entries included here on this forum as being found rated 7/10 or higher on IMDb. Most films included on IMDb would not be rated 7/10 or more.
In retrospect I perhaps should have originally called the thread ''A Do You Know Your Well Regarded Movie Quiz'' then.
