Since I'm on a Baron Munchausen 'kick', I thought I'd share some scans of my Lobby Cards from the film by Terry Gilliam: The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.
But first, here's the portrait of Baron Munchausen by Gustave Dore' from1862, which was the inspiration for John Neville's wonderful portrayal of the Baron. Like most of Terry Gilliam's films, there was no shortage of drama and it was a miracle it was even completed-let alone, released. So, say what you will about the film, I think it's great. It's absolutely beautiful to look at, and confounding as hell just like the source material, with Gilliam's fingerprints ALL over it...I loved it.
Anyway, here are some crappy scans of the Lobby Cards that I have collected from the film. Enjoy.
The overall quality of the cards are substandard and nothing like the Lobby Cards from theGolden Age of 1930's-1950's, but they're better than nothing I suppose.
Some posters from the film as well, and that concludes my Baron Munchausen post(s).
Now go watch the film, I think it's on Netflix or some other streaming service. You won't be disappointed.
