I hadn't seen that DN poster before, so thanks! "El Dorado" has always been a favourite; sometimes I think I like it better than "Rio Bravo" then I re-watch the latter ....
the one with Luciana Paluzzi would be the first UNCLE film, and Ilya's barely in that one for more than two lines of dialog, not surprised to see him get less than second billing in that one. Also, no Leo G Caroll in the credits, because Will Kuluva was the original Mr Waverley
@caractacus potts wanted more Harryhausen…never say never do I not respond to requests…
More mummies…
Earthquake was a 1974 disaster movie - more entertaining was Ava Gardner playing Lorne Greene’s daughter - a whole 7 years younger than he was in real life…
And a USA subway poster…
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

I’ve watched Jason and the Argonauts countless times, love it 👏🏻
For once, I've seen all of these! Smashing posters, they looked compelling outside a cinema.
Useless information department: the filming of Blood From The Mummy's Tomb was not straightforward, starting and ending with deaths. When shooting started, Peter Cushing's wife took ill and soon died. He was replaced at a moment's notice with Andrew Keir. At the end, the director Seth Holt died, still a young man. Hammer's Michael Carreras stepped in but the finished film shows some signs of raggedness.
Our own Valerie Leon does well, though hampered by being dubbed, and of course looks spectacular.
she doesnt seem to be named in the poster, but Honour Blackman plays a greek goddess in Jason
when I was a wee lad, there was a kid friendly restaurant in Toronto (the Spaghetti Factory to be exact) that had bunch of lobby cards and posters for various Harryhausen films on the walls, mysterious fantastic exotic images from films I'd never heard of that really fired my childish imagination
The "House" was the one that caught my eye - I bet Robert Bloch was annoyed at their misspelling his name - and that + "Butch" are the only two above I remember seeing in the cinema.
I've never heard of Saigon, didnt realise Ladd 'n' Lake did a fourth film together
William Bendix steals every scene he's in in the Blue Dahlia, he's the best thing about it, too bad they were forced to change the ending. I dont think gets so many scenes in the Glass Key but he's good in that one too, a character actor blowing away the topbilled stars
As a young kid in the 60’s William Bendix was the first actor to resonate with me as being something special, I remember seeing lots of his movies on television on Sunday afternoons, special memories 🙂

Prime Cut - brilliant movie although I think the poster does it a disservice
Tarzan's Greatest Adventure is one of, if not the best of the Tarzan movies
Agree, that Prime Cut poster isn’t all that. European posters are either stunningly good or a bit meh, aren’t they?
Yep, Tarzan’s Greatest Adventure is my favourite one of the franchise.

Oh no no no no @Barbel please keep watching Rio Bravo although El Dorado is a lot of fun. Do not venture into Rio Lobo territory.
3 x Horror…
2 x Noir…
3 x Action…
One of these days I have to catch up on the Poe/Price/Corman movies. Some big films there and a few not so much,but with great posters.
More foreign posters today. Westerns and UNCLE.
Nice to see the foreign versions, thanks CHB.
Really good…but I’m surprised David McCallum is so low in the billing 👀

Continuing the foreign posters theme…
I’ve always loved the Japanese Bond posters 😁
Yes, me too. Loved the others as well.
got anymore Ray Harryhausen posters?

Not so magnificent 7’s…
2 x pretty good horrors…
2 x Posters with terrific artwork…

More foreign westerns posters…
A horror and a pre-production Bond…
Some beautiful posters there.
Those are ‘proper posters’ 😁

Some smashers there. I watched the Newman one only a couple of weeks ago.
The great Alan Ladd…
Sword ‘n’ Sandal…

Ah, the great Gordon Scott...
Great posters. They don't make 'em like that any more.
