“The curious title refers to the last time the district of Civetta won the Palio in 1979. Il Palio is distinctive because the jockeys do not represent the 17 districts of the Siennese region – the horses do. This film trains its eye on the Civetta community, desperate for a win in the race after a drought of over 20 years”
John Appel’s excellent and entertaining docu-drama based upon the annual horserace called the ‘Palio’ held in the city’s center piazza (Piazza del Campo) in Siena, Italy. A very limited cinema release in ‘art-house’ & ‘independent’ theatres meant the posters for this enjoyable film are in extremely short supply, which is a shame as the design and production quality is of a very high standard. The imagery (and it’s not often I speak positively about a single image photographic film poster) is excellent, very colourful with genuine warmth and passion; the spirit of the ‘palio’ is truly embodied in it. The original UK quad film poster offered here is from first year of release 2004 and as it was originally rolled (as issued) it looks and presents to very good effect…A very rare find, this scarce, exceptional looking piece represents very collectable & desirable movie memorabilia.

A critical and commercial success and perhaps the best British movie (gangster or otherwise) ever made…John MacKenzie’s “The Long Good Friday”. Receiving a very limited release in UK cinemas (it was nearly never released due to financial problems & only saved as a cinematic production by George Harrison, with his Handmade Films stepping in at the 11th hour) meant that any paper is scarce, making this original 1980 UK quad film poster a rare find especially in such high grade condition. Featuring stark black & white country unique design & artwork, this excellent unrestored example presents near perfectly. Rolled (as issued) it represents an exceptional piece of collectable original film memorabilia from a true British gangster classic…“The Mafia? I’ve shit ’em”

Trivia: Steve McQueen desperately wanted to act in this film but couldn’t at first because the schedule of his TV series, Wanted: Dead or Alive (1958), wouldn’t allow it. He crashed a car and while he was “out sick”, recovering from the accident he shot this film.

“It’s coming for YOU from Space to wipe all living things from the face of the Earth! CAN IT BE STOPPED?”
Blending horror and science fiction in the way that only Hammer can, “The Quatermass Xperiment” delivers a haunting vision of the terrifying consequences of unchecked exploration. In this tense, suspenseful tale of scientific ambition gone awry, a space expedition takes a nightmarish turn when an astronaut crash-lands on Earth—only to begin mutating into something horrifyingly inhuman. As his transformation accelerates, his struggle to contain violent urges proves increasingly futile. Scientists and authorities race to understand the catastrophe unfolding before them, in a desperate attempt to prevent a monstrous disaster. Created by the legendary Nigel Kneale and directed by the great Val Guest, “The Quatermass Xperiment” is available for the first time ever in 4K UHD and the poster offered here is from the 4K release in 2024. Released by Hammer for a very limited cinematic run that coincided with the newly remastered Blu Ray, this extremely rare UK quad is from the cinema release and not one of the 10 offered as an incentive on Hammer’s website. It really is an incredible poster with some outstanding horror artwork by Graham Humphreys. It presents to excellent effect and is a must have Hammer Horror collectable.
Trivia: The decision to drop the “e” from the title The Quatermass Xperiment was a deliberate and strategic choice by Hammer Films. When the film was released in 1955, the British Board of Film Censors had recently introduced the ‘X’ certificate, restricting admission to those aged 16 and over. Hammer sought to highlight the film’s mature themes and unsettling content by integrating the letter ‘X’ directly into the title. This subtle yet effective alteration served not only as a marketing tool but also as a signal to audiences that this was a bold and provocative work—one that pushed the boundaries of what was typically shown in British science fiction cinema at the time.

“Johnny’s a Dull Boy” – An early example of alternative movie poster (AMP) design and a perfect example of why this area has grown so quickly in the collectables market – it’s a an incredible image, which reminds me very much of the surrealistic poster designs that originated in Eastern Europe. David O’Daniel’s interpretation for “The Shining” art print is hand-signed and numbered #74/100 and comes from 2010 where it was used to advertise a limited screening of “The Shining” at the Castro Theatre, San Francisco. The Castro was one of the earliest exponents for showcasing AMPs, commissioning a number of ‘new’ artists to promote their upcoming screenings. Presented in rolled, unfolded (as issued) condition this stunning example displays and presents to excellent effect.

A perfect example of Ise Ananphada’s distinctive style and also why I love the whole alternative movie poster movement. Each artist brings something different to a title and that is why so many titles have such an incredible inventory of beautifully designed posters. Referring to Ananphada’s own website is probably the best way to explain her style –
She is very well for the maximal illustration style, which features delicate details and expansive colour palettes. Ise’s work is well-known for her delicate illustration and a variety of forms, all of which are presented in the fullest elegance. While her aerial rendering technique and use of vibrant colours seem to showcase just the artist’s personality, if you look closely at the complex elements of her work, you’ll discover layers of symbolism that she had referred to as “visions, illusions, madness, artistry, and poetry”
Her print for Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining” is the perfect example of these sentiments and is one of the most detailed and complex prints she has produced. Every iconic moment (and some not so iconic) from the movie are included. I particularly like the concept as the Overlook Hotel acts as the header (this starts the movie) and the snowbound maze (finishes the movie) is the footer. The scenes in between create the journey through the whole film. This really is a clever print that reveals new elements with each new viewing. Presented in rolled, unfolded (as issued) condition this stunning example is hand-numbered from an edition of 150 and presents to excellent effect.
