I’ve never been a huge Liza Minnelli fan (except for her awesome appearance in Arthur) — but these Polish and Czech posters of Cabaret do have a certain flair!

Crazy For Swierzy
Waldemar Swierzy, one of the most dynamic Polish movie poster designers of the 20th Century, tackled some of Hollywood’s greatest 70’s and 80’s movies (and American Jazz artists) with his striking, abstract “only in Polish” designs.
Oh yeah, and if you like Swierzy’s brush-tastic take on The Muppets Movie, it’s for sale at Film/Art.
Love These Proper Movie Posters!
Although it’s not Steve McQueen’s finest film, these worldly movie posters for the 1964 romancer, Love With The Proper Stranger, certainly make my heart flutter — especially the Italian foglio by Ercole Brini (bottom left) and the Boris Grinsson Frenchie (bottom right).
The Russians Are Coming!
In the past, I haven’t featured many ANY Russian movie posters on the Meansheets, but here’s a colorful trifecta that seem worthy of mentioning — Solaris, The Professional, and the 80’s Mel Gibson drama, The River.
(*Full Disclosure: the Solaris poster (top left) was featured prominently on the cover of the excellent Art of the Modern Movie Poster book.)
The Gun Show
That lovable peacenik, Al Capone, once said in The Untouchables, “They say you can get further with a kind word and a gun than just a kind word.” Well, you wouldn’t know it by this post, but I’m actually an anti-gun advocate — except, of course, when it comes to the movies! Hypocritical? Definitely. But the (phallic?) symbol of the gun seems to be a universal theme everywhere in the world of movie posters.
So if you like these mean machine sheets, then you might like my other pals, Django, Dillinger, and the Twins.
Angelique Smackdown!
Sweet as angelico, sexy as Angelina Jolie…Here’s an International smackdown of the 1964-65 Angelique / Angelica movies — from the Italians (by artists, Ciriello, top left, and Putzu, top far right), the French, Belgian, and Polish.
Danish vs. Polish Smackdown!
This doesn’t really look like a fair fight: Guns or Moustaches?
Have A Great Weekend!
