    Very interesting post there Alamo! I don't know much about posters and such except what I have seen scanned here. But LOTS of the guys collect them, and they will be interested on your comments.
    I loved Island in the Sky also. First movie that I was TOTALLY and Completely convinced that Duke could really act. When those planes kept going and he realized they hadn't seen them and would probably cross that section off their search........WOW....never had and never have seen that look on his face again!

    Thankya Kindly Keith! I probably had most all his posters at one time or another. I DO like a lot of the posters when they are looked at by themselves, but when a number of the 50s-70s posters are displayed side-by-side, they tend to blend together due to the abundence of white
    space on them-just my humble opinion.

    I love the film-saw it on the original release as a kid. I have to say I hate the poster tho. Overall, I prefer movie posters with a lot of artwork and vibrant colors. The one for this film, as well as MANY other JW films of the 50s-70s are mainly a white backround with Duke in the center with some action. One's I do like tho, from this period are: The Searchers, The Quiet Man, The Alamo, Big Jake, Sons of Katie Elder, El Dorado, The Green Berets, maybe Hellfighters, and The Shootist. Reynold Brown did the artwork for The Alamo, and I wish he had done more of Duke's film posters.
