Look For the Silver Linings…
If you need a visual to differentiate today’s movie posters with one-sheets from the 1940s, then look no further than last year’s Oscar darling, Silver Linings Playbook, compared with the Boris Grinsson-designed French poster for Look For the Silver Lining (1949)…

Fiscal Clift?
Who would’ve thunk that all these expensive Montgomery Clift posters were causing the world’s debt crisis?

Grinsson Meets Gilda
As 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.
El Hombre?
I never need an excuse to boast the poster work of Boris Grinsson (seen below on bottom right), but ESPN’s story about slugger, Albert Pujols, recent signing with the Los Angeles Angeles gave me a perfect one…
