General Discussion / Re: Play Misty For Me, Coogans Bluff, Kelly's Heroes which one do you like the best?

« on: April 10, 2014, 06:14:35 AM »

Hate to say it but, Play Misty For Me is dull.  I just dont like it much.  Had Clint not starred in it, I would never look at it again.  I did not care for Jessica Walters character, the jazz festival went on toooo long for my liking and the love scene dragged on a bit too.  I did however enjoy Don Siegels part and his interaction with Clint.

1.  Coogans Bluff - The score, the action, the bikes and Clint, cool as ice

2.  Kellys Heroes - The Score, the action, top cast and Clint, still cool as ice

3.  Play Misty For Me - Nicely shot and Clint

I have always liked Jack Cassidy as Miles Mellough in "The Eiger Sanction"

General Discussion / The Gauntlet - Locke or Streisand?

« on: March 28, 2014, 04:38:40 AM »

I have always loved "The Gauntlet" and not ashamed to admit it either.  I have never been a member of the Sondra Locke fan club and I have always felt that Barbera Streisand would have been a far better choice.  I know she was in the running for the part but lost out to Locke.

Who would you choose?

I came across this interesting Italian 4 foglio.

Considering Eastwood's massive popularity at the time, I wonder why they chose to exclude his image completely from this poster.

I like it though.

Thanks Mike, I knew you could help 

Love your statement -

In the US studios often treated the promo material like chewing gum paper and couldn't care less

Could not agree more Mike

Question for Mike ------



Do you know the reason for the mirror image on these French cards?

Sorry for poor image quality, I took the image on my camera phone up in my loft

It is a TERRIBLE film. Unfortunately. They look fantastic in their costumes - and that's about it.

Heading off topic here Mike, and I trust your judgement 100%, but I feel compelled to have a look at this film

I was going to bid on those KELLY LC's. Until I saw the condition

Agreed Mike, not the best condition, but at the price, I just had to 

Somehow I was sure you'd have them already

Yep, I do........no harm in having another set though

Good call Mike.

I dont think I have seen that film, looks really good 

Can you share an image from the film that was used for the poster artwork?

And please don't tell me that hussy on the right is supposed to be Jean Seberg!   

Looks more like Claudia Cardinale from "Once Upon A Time In The West" to me 

Like Homer in the "All Singing, All Dancing" episode of The Simpsons ...

Still, no denying that it is a lovely poster

Great deal from emovieposter -

$13 




And this lovely Italian 2 Foglio mid 70s re-issue.  Note the artwork for Clints head has been taken from a publicity still from High Plains Drifter and Lee Marvins head taken from a still from Monte Walsh.

Still, great artwork.  Seeing this outside the cinema would make most people go and watch it...............only to be disappointed!!!

Well that one is hard to come by. It sells for $300-$600 here and there, 700 pounds is a high price. A gallery price that certain customers pay, who do want it right away and don't want to search for months...

I agree with Mike here.  £899 is a gallery price.  I would expect to pay no more than £350-£400 for that title.  If you are not in a hurry to buy, then I would suggest that you keep checking good old eBay and other movie poster auction sites.

I will keep a look out for one and post here if I come across one.

Good luck
