Long Live The Weatherking!
Anybody who’s ever tried to buy an original vintage movie poster on eBay can tell you it’s like finding a needle in a haystack because they’re either insanely overpriced or impossible to find unless you’re searching for a specific title, not to mention risky because of a variety of factors — inaccurate descriptions, condition, fakes, reproductions, etc.
But I’ve found an excellent reputable dealer of French movie posters who calls himself Weatherking and I’ll probably regret broadcasting this because that means his affordable prices will most certainly go up — but the WK’s having another one of his monthly eBay auctions from June 15 to June 22, so don’t miss out!
More Faulkners!
Another based on a Faulkner bomb — but at least this one starred Steve Mcqueen!
Remade In Heaven
Here Comes Mr. Jordan meets Heaven Can Wait before they went back Down To Earth.
Tug O’ Warriors!
Super Salk!
Although not as well-known or, quite frankly, important as Jonas Salk, his polio-fighting namesake, Larry Salk (1936-2004) (no relation) made his own profound impact on the world of key art. He got his start in fashion illustration and then quickly evolved into the world of movie poster work, where he designed over 165 one sheets for various film studios and distributors.
But, ironically, what Salk is probably going to be most remembered for is his infamous oil portrait of Kramer from an episode of the 90’s hit TV show, Seinfeld.

Win One For The Gips-ter!
It has been brought to my attention that Philip Gips designed the posters that I had previously credited solely to Steve Frankfurt. The pair worked closely together on a number of their projects in which Frankfurt was the lead art director, including Rosemary’s Baby and All That Jazz — and even formed their own New York ad agency, Frankfurt Gips Balkind.
Anyway, let’s give it up for co-creator Mr. Gips and some of his best work…
Fredo Docu
If you’ve got HBO, make sure to set your TV/Tivo tonight to I Knew It Was You, a short documentary about the life of 1970’s character actor, John Cazale. Although his brief career was cut short by cancer, his résumé is a time capsule of film classics. Not to mention, he was engaged to Meryl Streep before his untimely death.
