I recently came across MUBI’s Movie Poster of the Day Tumblr blog –– and was delighted to discover Milton (“I ❤ NY”) Glaser‘s Polish style-inspired version of Zabriskie Point (top), accompanied of course by the more familiar USA versions below.

Zabriskie Point by Glaser?
March 1, 2012Grinsson Meets Gilda
February 29, 2012As Julia Roberts’ movie star character once quoted Rita Hayworth in Notting Hill, “They go to bed with Gilda, but they wake up with me…”
Well, vintage movie poster fans should all be so lucky as Adrian Curry of MUBI recently posted a glamorous layout of Rita Hayworth posters done by Italian artist, Anselmo Ballester.
In response to Curry’s Rita rundown, I thought I’d share a few fabulous French versions of the actress beauty by Boris Grinsson –– courtesy of the wonderful poster blog, Art by Grinsson.
Sophia Bardot!
February 22, 2012Vanity Fair has taken time out from covering the Oscar flavors of the month in their Hollywood Issue to profile the 77-year-old bombshells, Brigitte Bardot and Sophia Loren –– two strong-willed women who went onto live productive lives far from the bright lights of Hollywood.
If you want to check out the rest of these legendary ladies’ beautiful one-sheets, be sure to check out Eatbrie’s impressive collection (scroll down the left side). (EMoviePoster)
The Artist or The Sexist?
February 6, 2012Prior to collecting his Oscars at this year’s Academy Awards, it appears that Jean Dujardin of The Artist has gotten himself into a movie poster brouhaha for his upcoming French flick, Les Infideles.
But are the French just getting prudish? These new one-sheets don’t seem to be showing any more leg than these fairly common one-sheet designs from the last ten years…Maybe it all depends on your point-of-view!
Meansheets Poster Sale!
February 3, 2012It’s that time of year again — the Meansheets Poster Shop is now open for business on Etsy!
Real Scary Women Wear Black!
February 2, 2012They say real men wear black, but I beg to differ as Harry Potter Daniel Radcliffe gets a little dark in this weekend’s Woman In Black…
Stuck In A Rutters
January 31, 2012Klaus Rütters, one of the more under-sung German poster artists of his time, completed quite a few Hollywood classics on his palette, featuring some of the era’s biggest stars…(EMoviePoster)
Tutti Frutti Cerutti
January 24, 2012The 1930s and 1940s French posters of Henri Cerutti go down smooth as a sweet, fruity glacé. Hailing from the golden age of the gargantuous 4-panel poster (240×160 cm, or 94x 63 inches for you Americanos), Cerutti’s mural-sized designs were not only big, but beautifully elegant as well.

A Dash-ell of Hammett, please?
January 18, 2012Look out, film fanatics, because Noir City’s annual San Francisco Film Noir Festival begins this weekend and runs through January 29, capping off with a Dashell Hammett marathon, including screenings of the 1931 and 1941 versions of The Maltese Falcon…
And don’t miss out on these French poster beauties (drawn by Roger Soubie) of that other Hammett classic, The Glass Key.
Danish Wenzel
January 10, 2012I know, it sounds like a food — but Karl Wenzel was actually a rather famous designer of Danish movie posters back in the day. Just take a taste of his delicious eye candy for yourself! (EMoviePoster)
