Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Movie Synopsis: The protege of a famous cat burglar reluctantly agrees to join forces with a lesser criminal in the daring heist of several famous jewels from a seemingly impenetrable vault. Image Information: A picture speaks a thousand words and form an important part of the item description so please take the time to look at all the images carefully. All images of the actual item for sale and are photographed under natural lighting (where possible) and have not been digitally doctored. We do not use stock photos so what you see is what you get. American Half Sheet or Display: (22" X 28") Printed on card stock paper, the studios often printed two styles of this size. One style would be identical to the Title Lobby Card. They were pictured in the press books and called “Displays,” whereas the collectors have taken to calling them Half Sheets, as they are half the size of a One Sheet. These posters were often a photographic and artwork combination and were displayed in the lobby of the theatre. Newer ones were issued rolled, older ones were issued rolled and folded (folded twice and not considered a defect). Usually VERY RARE compared to a one-sheet or insert as studios stopped issuing these in the early 1980's. Combined Postage Information: We will combine any auction or fixed price posters to save you on postage. If you are buying multiple posters please let us know and then wait until we adjust the invoice before making payment. All posters are either rolled and shipped in a cylinder or folded into their original folds and carefully flat packed into a protective sleeve and large stiff mailing folder ($2.49 each) with backing board for extra protection during transit. For those concerned about shipping cost please note: The shipping pricing is out of my hands and Australia Post has recently increased their prices. We only charge $2 extra and that is because we pack the posters into a plastic sleeve and then into a stiff envelope ($2.49 each from Officeworks) with backing card (not between a couple of pieces of crappy cardboard or rolling folded posters (it affects the folds) so we are actually losing on postage. How Our Posters Are Graded All images of the posters are of the actual poster for sale so what you see is what you get, we do not use stock photos. Very Fine – Almost Mint: Unused with no flaws. Fine: Generally unused with the original folds and possible signs of minor ageing but no significant flaws. Very Good: These have the usual folds, possibly some pinholes, possible very light blue tack stain spots, minor edge or fold wear, slips or tears, and unobtrusive stains but no paper loss. Good: Has possible staining, pinholes, minor paper lifts in corners, small tears (possibly taped on reverse) slight fold separations, minor paper loss, and possible blue tack stain spots, and edge wear but still good enough to frame. Fair: These posters will need some restoration and are usually only sold on this site if they are rare and hard to find. There will be a combination of tears, paper loss, staining, pinholes and blue tack stains but because of the rarity of the poster, worth linen backing. About Australian Movie Posters: The usual process for producing Australian daybill posters was the hand litho process, which produced posters with a rich texture and subtle toning. The artists would generally use US poster art or press book images for their inspiration and they would either trace or use their own imagination or a combination of both to come up with a design for the poster. This artistic licence led to some beautiful posters which were often unique to Australia. The daybill sizes varied considerably from 13" x 30" from the 40s to the mid 60s to 13" x 26" in the 80s. The one sheet posters were normally 27” x 40”. It is important to note that daybills for the original release of a film often included a two-colour (duotone) or black and white version. In many cases these are mistakenly referred to as copies or later reissues but they were generally released at the same time as the full colour versions were issued and as such, are also originals. Some posters like those produced by RKO Pictures and Brown Prior Anderson Pty. Ltd., Victoria bleed the printing process right to the edge of posters so there was no white border. Many of these posters appear to have been trimmed but are not. Certain printing firms seem to predominate during certain periods, such as W.E. Smith and Robert Burton of Sydney during the 1940s and 1950s. Several other printers like RKO Pictures, F. Cunninghame & Co. Pty. Ltd. (litho) Sydney, Royelltone Prints Pty. Ltd., Victory Publications Pty. Ltd., Melbourne, W & B Litho, Sydney and Simmons Ltd. printed older posters but W.E. Smith and Robert Burton produced most. During the 70s M.A.P.S started producing movie posters and there is an overlap where both Robert Burton and M.A.P.S printed some of the same original posters and both are originals. Other printers like Brown Prior Anderson in Burwood, Victoria, Australia, also printed some of the B grade and R rated Australian posters, and some of the film distributors like Roadshow Australia produced and distributed their own posters.
