Some more interesting and funny foreign titles for posters and magazine covers. ( assuming Google Translate is accurate).
THE CROOKED WAY……….FACING DEATH.
John Payne looking like Bob Mitchum.
ALL ABOUT EVE……….EVA AGAINST EVA.
(Can’t explain this one.)
WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS…….WHEN THE ROAD ENDS.
( ‘sidewalk’ being an American expression, so probably needed to be changed.)
BACK STREET…………LOVE STORY.
I guess Love Story sounded more attractive than ‘Back Street.)
MIDNIGHT LACE……….MIDNIGHT TRAP
TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT……….TO HAVE AND NOT HAVE.
That’s Bogie, but more work needed on Bacall.
LITTLE WOMEN.
Elizabeth Taylor gets star billing.
TWELVE ANGRY MEN……….THE TWELVE SWORN.
Maybe just not possible sometimes to have exact translation.
THE SISTERS………..PROM NIGHTS.
?? Can’t explain this one.
ADAMS’S RIB………..MADAME IS WEARING THE PANTIES.
Literal translation !
PAT AND MIKE……….MADEMOISELLE WINS IT ALL.
Reference Pat being an all round athlete.
Vienna's Classic Hollywood
Such a fun post. The title changes are hilarious.
Cheers!
It’s fun finding them.
Very nice. I tend to use a lot of foreign posters as illustrations. I enjoy the variety and sometimes the different aspects or moods that are picked up on in different territories.
Some are good, some not so good when it comes to portraying the star. But the title changes can be fun, puzzling and interesting.
