Polish Film Poster of the Week

This Week: The Great Gatsby (197?); artist: Jerzy Flisak

Ed Says: The Polish film poster of the week will now be published on Wednesdays or Thursdays. I could go into the logic of why this is actually the beginning of my week but, really, who cares? I present this image in honor Valentine's Day.

Bonus: Another simple, strong and absurd image from the same artist.

This week: El Dorado (1973); artist: Jerzy Flisak

Ed Says: What's better, let's have a vote: a hat made of a "whisky" bottle or the crutch-as-shotgun pose?

This week: Young Frankenstein (1978); artist: Jerzy Flisak.

Ed's Thoughts: There are no words that can describe my affection for this insane piece of poster art. I love the way the one 'human' eye betrays the true emotion behind the forced smile. I want to get a tattoo of this one!

(P.S.: To all the trainspotters out there, the year listed for the Polish Poster of the Week is always the year the poster was designed, not the year of the film's original theatrical release, as is standard elsewhere on Shoot the Projectionist. As always, I salute your attention to detail.)
