Still one of my Top 5 Wayne Films. Top 3 actually
RIO BRAVO being another one you can guess that I'm very much into
Howard Hawks. I love Africa, so there came the right film. In the 50s/60s wild game
was always treated as 'extras' in the ss-called 'Safari - films', but in HATARI! animals as well as the landscape is a real part of the story and the emotions the film manages to bring across. I guess Jim McBride once pointed out during a Hawks interview how much he liked the relationships and the bounding between the characters and Hawks replied: ''I like to be around them too.'' That's how I feel :). And that's one of the reasons why us HATARI! fans watch this very long and rather plotless film over and over again - we like to be around them too...

I don't rember whether I posted all my HATARI! stuff in the forum, well here it is anyway. Posters and lobby cards from 18 countries:

hihi

Alright, MORE lobby cards...
I won't comment them from now on - I ran out of time
The 'usual': German sets, US lc's, UK FOF-sets, French, Spanish,
Italian & Mexican items...
Questions are always welcome of course.

I'll start with the war films:

Now JOHN FORD. 30's & 40's stuff was always too expensive for me, even 20 or 30 years ago. But some items are included anyway:

STAGECOACH: German jumbo cards (1961) // 5 french RR 1950's // spanish set (1979) // some US b/w stills. I will post just a few b/w stills here (too many here), just of those titles I don't have much material in the archive:

HATARI! complete German set of 40 + selfmade Wayne portrait LC. A few words regarding German sets from the 50's & 60's: collecting those is a whole different ballgame than collecting US or UK sets. Those sets 'of 8' are available until now, but those huge German sets were split up the minute they reached the theaters back then. Only single cards show up, sometimes lots, but almost NEVER complete sets. Portrait LC's are scarce and some (like ISLAND IN THE SKY) seem the be destroyed decades ago altogether. So it takes you forever over here to get your set together (IF..). Took me 25 years to find all 40 cards for HATARI!... // US LC-set 1962 // US LC-set 1967 // US color stills (12) // UK set of 8 :

EL DORADO: complete German set of 40 LC's // German RR-set of 12 (1971) // US LC-set // US + UK + CSSR 8x10 LC's // French set (2 missing) // Spanish (1 missing) // 5 Italian photobustas:

RIO BRAVO: 1 french Jumbo LC & 6 French RR-LC's (1970) // Mexico (4 LC's) / 2 Yugoslavia + 4 CSSR // Italian photobustas (4 first release; 3 re-release 1970's):

Okay, you asked for it

I'll start with my favorite, Mr.Howard Hawks:

RED RIVER: complete German set (1963) of 25 cards. The portrait LC is impossible to find,
$300-$400 at least.. // 2 Italian photobusta (RR) // US Title LC (1953)








RIO BRAVOOOO: Complete German LC -set of 25 cards (+ 'selfmade portrait cards of Wayne with rifle, Stumpy & Colorado.
So I guess they exist only 1x) // US LC's (1 missing) // rare UK set of 8 :
