The Good, The Bad, and The Clint.
We don’t like to get too political here on Meansheets, but did anybody catch Clint Eastwood’s speech at the GOP Convention last night? Whoa, I know this blog is a celebration of nostalgia — but I just want to erase last night and remember Clint the way Bill Gold did.

Clint’s Gold

Firefox or Foxfire? It’s time for another Movie Poster Smackdown! Of course, my favorite French poster of the 1955 Jane Russell-Jeff Chandler film easily blows away the USA one-sheets with Angelina Jolie and Jessica Tandy and is by none other than (yawn) Boris Grinsson.
Solid Gold!
Bill Gold Advertising is undoubtedly one of the most successful poster design companies in the history of the movie business. This New Yorker was chiefly known for his productive relationships with Bob Peak and Clint Eastwood, with whom he worked with for over 30 years of his movies.
Speaking of Clint, there’s an excellent book out now called Clint Eastwood Icon: The Essential Film Art Collection…
