From The Guardian:
"A new record for the price of film memorabilia is expected to be set with the sale of a rare Metropolis movie poster – yours for $850,000."
That's £542,507 in proper money!
More record-breaking movie posters
The poster for Fritz Lang's Metropolis is indeed an object of great beauty. Here at Dolores Delargo Towers, it would look fab in the West Wing.
However, could we ever imagine having that kind of money to spend - on a poster?
These are the things that dreams are made of...
Absolutely stunning! I have always wanted a Metropolis poster, but I have a feeking I will never get this one...
ReplyDeleteI guess none of us will... Jx
DeletePerhaps if we pool our resources we could share it.
DeleteOh who am I kidding?
It's fabulous stuff xxx
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite Art Deco images ever. Jx
DeleteSo much of Metropolis is all about how it looks. It certainly isn't the acting.
ReplyDeleteI agree - it is a visual artwork rather than an excellent film... Jx
DeleteWell, it is an excellent poster. Money is excellent, too!
ReplyDeleteI think it is the case that if I had the money to buy a poster for £500k, I'd more likely spend the £500k elsewhere... Jx
