Love the Maltese Falcon one - it didn't quite achieve the same acclaim as Bogey's version, though. 
I love Marilyn Monroe and Don Murray in "Bus Stop" and watch it every chance I get when it's playing on TCM...

I used to love seeing stills from the movie (on display) while you were waiting in line outside the theater.
In 1977, my friend and I went to see Annie Hall. While we were in the lobby, on the wall, were stills from a movie I knew nothing about, called Star Wars. I thought it looked really interesting so the next night we went back to see it.
After seeing Annie Hall, I said that should win Best Picture...and it did. Then, after seeing Star Wars, I said that it should win Best Picture. Okay, so I was fickle back then.

"A clip from the beginning of the original film version of The Maltese Falcon. This film is a little different from the version with Bogey."Love the Maltese Falcon one - it didn't quite achieve the same acclaim as Bogey's version, though.

I missed this thread entirely. It's fun for me to see poster art, some of it is awful, but I enjoy most of it.

Most movie posters are awful. I wonder what the intention was in making them. But nostalgia goes a long way in forgiving some mediocre stuff.
i belong to a FB group named Pre-Code Movie and Actor's Group (1929-1934). I have learned a lot about the era before movie studios agreed to stick to certain moral codes. That's where I first saw the posters that I just posted. I thought someone might have started a post at some point about movie posters

I own the Bogart version but have never seen the earlier one.
What impresses me about the Bogart one is the amount of dialog. It feels like you've finished reading a novel by the end of the movie. All that dialog yet never boring. Provides a mentally stimulating experience. An amazing accomplishment for a movie.

Humphrey Bogart's Height, Style and Family - The Modest Man
"If you’re committing to a look as classic as Bogart’s, you’ll need dedication. He was never photographed looking sloppy."
"He even rode a bike in a suit. While you don’t have to go that far, we would suggest skipping distressed denim, joggers, sneakers or anything else that reads too casual.
Instead of “Casual,” Think “Simple”

I love the pre-codes, one of my favorites is "Baby Face."
Watching Barbara Stanwyck sleep her way to the top of a big business, one floor manager at a time, is fascinating.

If you're a Bogie fan you've probably seen my favorite film of his, "Key Largo." The atmosphere, the acting and the writing all come together with a great moral lesson about true courage.
That looks like an interesting site
