Before we move on from the subject of the B poster, there's a rather unique version in the NoDS Pressbook that I never saw used in any newspaper. But then the type of ad that it is would most likely only have been published in something like the New York Times or the Los Angeles Times. And I'm sharing it running down the left side of this post.
I've already posted copies of the A and B 1 Sheets. A copy of the Insert Card will be forthcoming (though not my version just yet). And here's a copy of the 28 X 22 Lobby Card:
(Click here for a 1897X1486 version)
That 71/285 code appears on most of my NoDS theater memorabilia. I've always presumed it's the internal MGM code for the film. Though one thing that's interesting about my copies is that most are missing the GP rating...
As for the main purpose of this post, it's to give a sort of tutorial about the sizes of the various NoDS posters for those who may not be familiar with the terms for them. (Click here for a 940X1490 version)
As you may have noticed, only the 3 Sheet and Insert Card versions of the NoDS A poster feature the full artwork. Back in the day copies of the 3 Sheet poster were available to fans for purchase through companies like Cinema Attic (where I bought most of my hoDS/NoDS promotional materials) but I've never seen a copy available online for purchase. (Though, of course, that's not to say it never has been available.) On the other hand, I've seen multiple copies of the Insert Card available online for purchase. I own a copy (a rather special copy as far as I'm concerned - but more on that down the line). I also own a copy of both the A and B 1 Sheets, and the 28 X 22 Lobby Card. |
