Spent my free time today beginning the uploading of some of the Nakamura Eigeki posters to the Pink Film Archives. I've got about 60 posters to new films sorted and identified, an equal number of re-release posters to existing films, and a few better images than are presently posted, which will replace the old ones. I'll upload them and clean out the backlog, then get back to the project Nakamura Poster project. It's going require going through about 2,000 poster images-- most of them duplicates, of course, but I'm finding a surprising amount of new material also.


The evening's viewing pleasure featured Dick Tracy Meets Gruesome (1947), an entertaining little comic-book noir featuring Boris Karloff as... guess who... The actor who plays Dick Tracy (Ralph Byrd) doesn't have much presence, and Karloff, of course, has presence and then some. Gruesome Meets Dick Tracy might be a more accurate title, as reflected in the order of the cast billing shown in the poster to the left.
