Occasionally I’d like to share pieces of artwork I really like.
Here’s one, I find, one of the best paintings of likenesses in a movie poster, I’ve seen.

I don’t know who did the painting. A scribbled signature can be seen appearing to be ‘E. Hantrell’, but I can’t find who that is or was.
Please let me know if you know who the painter was.

The poster art for ‘Carry on, Cowboy’ is stupendous.
The likenesses are excellent. Simple painting method with startling results. It’s not just the likeness of Sidney James, in the middle. It’s also the angle portrayed. Excellent work!

The Kenneth Williams, with arrow in backside, part seems to be the law of ‘Carry On’ posters, as each has his iconic shocked looked.
Charles Hawtry is also perfect, getting Hawtry’s image and him in action as hilarious indian chief.

The ladies are really the best of the lot. Joan Sims, farthest right, appears to be in the background. Taking another view of the poster and she stands out due to the painting techniques.

That leaves Angela Douglas, the only one still with us today. Seems clear to me her head was redone and attached later. Note her neck area, angle of head and light blue splashed around, what might otherwise be, cut lines. Wonder if that was Douglas or someone else?

Still an excellent painting. Too bad the poster is messy otherwise.
