I will forever contend that Roman Holiday is a vastly superior showcase of Hepburn's talent. Gimme a Roman Holiday poster plz thx.

Casablanca. Bergman first refers to Sam ...uh...racist-ly.

for such an exciting movie (it's one of my all time favs, not just my fav Hitchcock) it's a pretty boring poster. It's not "bad" by any means, just not dynamic in anyway.

I think the Florey commissioned ones are so much better (ISO by the way)

The train in that NXNW poster looks super flat. That poster - both the design and the terrible print job - leave much to be desired in a NXNW poster. #MailedItIn #AmateurPrinter

Never saw the print job, but I thought it captured...something.

Every year he is going to have a 25% off Sale and keep dropping it, because that fudge isnt going anywhere. After 3 or 4 years it might work.

The Brothers Durieux were pissed the morning they sold that print. Lots of the prints had white clumps on them. Little pieces of gunk (ink or something) that got caught in the screen and ended up on the prints. The drama was going on when I went to the booth. I didn't realize how bad the print job was until that night, I just knew that they were both furious. There was some kind of drama with them refusing to pay or something too. But... they still sold the product (that was below their standards) to us lowly plebes at MC.

Luckily Froi was able swap mine out.

It also seems way more prone to scratching than other LD Hitchcock prints.

So not worth a thousand euro for a set?

Do I buy the NXNW set or the BaT? Decisions decisions

Depends on you feeling charitable or not?

Now I'm curious how much he actually sells on that site. The prices are insane.
