Poster of the Week

Let me preface this week's Poster of the Week with a disclaimer. I'm a proud Polish-American and love my cultural heritage. That being said, I have to be honest and admit that this week's poster from my Motherland (date unknown) is perhaps one of the oddest Gone with the Wind posters I have ever seen.  I'm not sure what to make of it.

Of course, I must defend Poland's GWTW honor and present you with a nicer image to end our post. This lovely picture of Rhett and Scarlett graces Polish copies of the 70th anniversary edition of the movie. Well done, Polska! And regardless of whatever GWTW images you produce, I love you still.

  2. I'm not sure what to make of the first poster either, but I adore seeing Scarlett's party dress done in black! It's incredibly striking.

  3. @Shaninalux- Oh me too re: Scarlett's dress in black! I really love it, much more so than the original red one (GWTW sacrilege, I know- but the black version is just so stunning).

  4. Uh, the first one looks like a fan. The fan produces wind...let me see now...OH--I get it. Fan=wind. Unplugged fan=no wind. Gone with the Wind. A-ha.

    It is absolute sacrilege to mess with the red dress. BAD.

  5. actually I thin the poster screams USSR - no frill no nononsense... No need to really do any advertisment.

    It would be interesting to know the date of the poster.

    Also this poster adds a whole new dimension to the term "FanFiction" - sorry know that was a lame joke... *LOL*
