Meant to say this earlier today: I appreciated hearing how BK had been put off by the poster art (and subject matter) for HARD TIMES all these years. I don't really recall being aware of the film back in the day, but I was definitely affected that way when the Twilight Time announcements came down the pike. I had to keep going back to it to decide if it was something I'd definitely be interested in. When the disc got here, I spot checked it (like I always do, even if I'm not intending to watch something right away) -- and right off the bat I knew I had a winner.
So what is it about that style of poster art? It's a '70s thing, I think, that I can't quite define. It reminds me of THE STING poster. And this is often received as blasphemy so apologies in advance, but I never fully warmed up to that movie.
Anyhoo, just two cents. Will watch HARD TIMES this week. Probably Monday, as I usually only want to watch things seriously in the evening, it's too late now to start one, and I have another show tomorrow night (because of the outdoor venue, they don't do matinees).
