    Description

    Background:
    Paramount Pictures was looking for a way to draw attention to their standees back in 1984-1985. Instead of shipping a new standee each time, they'd just ship a new plastic poster like this one that showcased three movies. These would be placed on two rolls and set to a timer so that the roll would rotate in front of the light to show one movie, stop, and then rotate to show the next. (This listing does not come with any of that hardware.)
    The full strip:
    Each poster was glued together back in 1984-85 to create one huge 117" long by 50" wide strip (approximate measures). This one contains
    Pretty in Pink
    (Molly Ringwald, John Hughes),
    Blue City
    (Judd Nelson), and
    Gung Ho
    (Michael Keaton)
    What are they made of?:
    Good question. I almost want to call them "film" that's just what it reminds me of. They might be something like vinyl. Some sort of plastic, anyway.
    They're meant to have a light behind them, so they're semi-transparent. All of the black kind of glows as well. Some parts are completely transparent. (See the Consumer Reports magazine I've put behind Michael Keatons's head.)
    Each poster:
    If you choose to separate these strips, each poster will be about approximately 40" tall by 50" wide.
    Condition:
    Since these are so unique, it's difficult to describe. Plus the glare (and size) makes it difficult to take pictures of. Pictures represent the final say on condition, and I can take more if you'd like.
    There are a few creases here and there, but overall I'm surprised at how well these survived.
