That poster makes me think it’s a sequel to Night of the Lepus.
And I’d totally watch it.

It’s not, but you should anyway because it’s very good. Not as good as the book, but very good.

…you couldn’t be more wrong? It’s one of those titles that gets trotted around when people need “surprisingly depressing” media.

Raffles across the years (missing the 1917 Barrymore film, as I could not find any painted or drawn posters for that one)
1925
1930 (and my favorite for the art)
1939

I don’t know what Raffles is actually about, but I’m just imagining these as overly dramatic lottery posters.

It seemed to have an aroma of pulp, and googling “pulp raffles” was dead on target: Lord Lister, aka Raffles, master thief; origin Germany, 1908.
… Added it to a pulp reading list I’m slowly making my way through.

The UK poster for Teenagers from Outer Space. No, I don’t remember the skeleton fighting the gargon either. Or the gargon being that small. But I love the poster.

I do wonder about the person who thought that was a good thing to put on a movie poster.

Someone was watching To Be or Not to Be in the ‘what are you watching’ thread and I looked up the poster and saw this one:
It must have been a post-war release, right? Because the movie came out in 1942 and there’s no way they would have shown that in Nazi Germany. Or had that poster.

“SEE: Flesh Blasted Off Beautiful Girls In Less Than A Second!!”
That could be the tag line for just about any show on Bravo now.
They used to show operas and symphonies and modern dance. Sigh.
