Classic Movie Posters
A deck of 55 cards presenting vintage classic movies and their stars.

Lights, Cameras, Action!” A fabulous collection of 54 full colour film posters, covering Hollywood’s golden era from the twenties to the fifties.
Covering B-Movies to blockbusters, each card captures and focuses on the amazing art that used to entice to see the movie, no matter how bad it was! In the deck you will find movies such as Rebel Without A Cause, M, The Seven Year Itch, Forbidden Planet, Top Hat, Moulin Rouge, Beau Geste, Casablanca and many others.
A double-sided info card provides a concise yet enjoyable read about the subject matter, beautifully written by Nicholas Bird.

I've played card games from the age of three, collecting all things "cards" from 16 and finally started to specialise at 58! Thanks to these wonderful pages and a certain Mr Lodge, my main interest is in British decks, with examples of the English standard pattern in other countries. I am beginning to develop a liking for Belgium and German cards, too. It's nice to be able to spend time writing profiles for WOPC, on more modern yet beautiful decks. Looking forward to retiring in April, when I can spend more time on this wonderful interest.
