A classic “we have a great idea for the first half of a story” movie. No bad performances (and some really good ones), but they can’t charm the movie into having an ending that both makes sense and sticks to the tone of the first two thirds of the film.
Not my best fake poster. The only people who will know what movie is referenced are true film freaks.
Here’s another batch of posters from my treasure hunt. There are more I didn’t photograph yet.
The Phantom Tollbooth (1970). A lot of the kid posters are labeled “MGM Children’s Matinees,” which were films re-released between 1970 and 1972 to be played as matinees before current films.
Dr. Crippen (1963)
Get Carter (1971)
Village of the Damned (1960) & Children of the Damned (1964)
World In My Pocket (1961) & Looking For Love (1964)
I couldn’t find any usable video from World In My Pocket (though there’s a dubbed version on a sketchy Russian movie site). All I have is the Wikipedia article. So I’ll compensate with two clips about Looking For Love.
The Barretts of Wimpole Street (1957) and Rhino!
