Women's Prison (1955)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women's_Prison_(1955_film)

This looks like a soft-porn exploitation flick from the 70s, and that's even before you get to the unforgettable phrase “real raw truth about man-smuggling”.

What on earth is going on with our friend on the right? She's dressed in a … sheet? Towel? And she's got some kind of … object in her left hand poking out from below it?

Gilda (1946)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilda
poster language: Czech
I'll never get over how the Czech just reformat our names to fit their ideas of what a name should be Rita Hayworthová! We should all start doing that. Jackie Chan becomes Jackie Channington-Smythe when his movies are released in England, why not?

This is pretty dull and all moiréd out, but it's a great poster. Less is more.

I hate to do this but I'm struggling financially still. If you like any of the things I do on Mastodon, could you throw me a few dollars?

I've got casual work only, payments are due, and a few extra bucks would help keep my family's 25-year-old car on the road for one more year.

The Asphalt Jungle (1950)

poster language: German
I think you could all this Expressionist, maybe? All very strong and dramatic, and then, what the hell, is that a cartoon cat in sunglasses coming out of a garbage can?

I Died a Thousand Times (1955)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Died_a_Thousand_Times
poster language: Italian
The colours here are wild and the main figure is really intriguing. At first glance he looks like a singer passionately performing.

The Italian title means “It all finishes at six”, which is rather dull.

Apparently this movie is a scene-for-scene remake of “High Sierra”?

The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946) ...

The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Postman_Always_Rings_Twice_(1946_film)
poster language: French
Not to body-shame exactly but she seems rather slim for a femme fatale of this era. Maybe that's how the French artist wanted her to look?

Another in a long LONG line of poses where the man is looking intensely at the woman and the woman is not looking at the man.

The simplicity of this makes it great.

The Beat Generation (1959)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beat_Generation_(film)

Film Noir Poster Bot favourite Mamie Van Doren again. Has she been thrown down onto that bed by turtleneck guy? There's so often a hint of sexual violence with these things. The slapdash colourisation makes it hard to make out what's even going on with her, her elbow is sticking up behind her shoulder?

Hi! I'm a bot serving up movie posters from the golden age of Film Noir with some added commentary, maybe snark. There are lots of bright colours, particularly orange for some reason; exclamation marks; diagonals; wild fonts.

Cat People (1942)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_People_(1942_film)

So the woman is the cat? Cheers now we don't need to see the movie. I'm not obsessive about spoilers but WTF.

I thought of this movie just the other day as a Transport For NSW 490 Bus sneaked up behind me and unexpectedly shot a blast of air from its pneumatics system. If you know, you know.

The very oldest ones don't have the commentary by the way, so if I go "boost them" then for a while you'll just get the bare facts, not my attempts at wit/snark/erudition. If I go with "repost them" I can tweak those boring ones.

After more than 2 years, this account is about to run out of posters, so I'm going to put it into repeat mode, one poster a day from the archives, oldest first. Unfollow if that sounds boring!

I like how it's just ambiguous whether she clonked him on the head with that shiny statue or just found him like that.

The Lost Weekend (1945)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lost_Weekend_(film)

This is very interesting, it's not a poster but a press release or rather a cinema-owner release, to convince (independent) cinemas to show the film?

Glad to know it's not a "preachment", because, is that even a word?

Two Men in Manhattan (1959)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Men_in_Manhattan
poster language: French
Weirdly childlike for a crime/noir story. I like how the buildings are different sizes.

I would have guessed the French would be "Deux hommes à Manhattan" not "dans", French speakers weigh in please?

PRODUCTION NOTE:

• I'm down to the last couple of hundred of these.

• When I run out, I'm going to put it into repeat mode, so it just reposts the same content over again; there are thousands so you shouldn't get bored.

• Don't forget our sister account https://zirk.us/@SFFMagazineCovers

• I'm going to start a similar account which posts Marvel comics covers, I'll let you know about that when the time comes.

Thanks for following these crazy projects of mine!

Some nerd can please check all the timezones shown here and tell us if it's historically accurate, the way NDT did for JC and the stars for 14 April 1912.
