    Very nice collection. However, the Children of Paradise poster (Number 4, designed by Jacques Fourastie) is not a one sheet as it measures 160x240 cm (62.9 x 94.4 inches). The poster for Le Corbeau (Number 5, designed by Jacques Bonneaud) is a french one panel, although it measures 120x160 cm (47x63 inches) and is therefore much larger than the US ones.

    Sam Cohn hated Emeric Pressburger so much that he removed his name from all "The Invaders" advertising. Actually, "The 49th Parallel" was too confusing for him, and wanted a title that "would grab the rubes". Mickey Powell didn't like his time at Columbia during the 40s and fought with Cohn in a more passive-aggressive way, by slowing down the filming and running over budget. P & P left Hollywood soon after ...

    I think you mean Harry Cohn. These posters are wonderful. I love the one sheet for Le Corbeau.

    Criterion could you release the original art and size for The Life And Death Colonel Blimp and Les Enfants Paradise(Children of Paradise) posters on your website please. Also re-release Le Corbeau on DVD and Blu-ray in wide screen format and plenty of extra features. Thanks for listening and what I had to say bye.
