LAST WEEK'S TUESDAY TOUGHIE ANSWER
IS BELOW!
THE ANSWER WE WERE LOOKING FOR, WAS THE NAME REGINALD BECK! If that surname looks familiar to you, here is why! Reginald (Reggie) Beck was a British film editor with forty-nine
credits from 1932 to 1985. He is noted primarily for films he made with
Laurence Olivier in the 1940s and with Joseph Losey in the 1960s and
1970s. He was the brother of Violet Helen Beck Cushing, wife of . . . Peter Cushing. Beck worked closely with Olivier on HAMLET in which Peter played OSRIC. It was Cushing's first major screen role in 1948.
#TOOCOOLTUESDAY! CUSHING'S TARKIN and DARTH VADER, Coca Cola Posters! In 1977, George Lucas recognized the
value of merchandising his new movie, and he approached many companies
about doing special advertising tie-in posters. He made four deals for
the exact same posters with Coca-Cola! There was a set of 4 posters and
one of the four deals was distributed through Burger Kings, and at the
bottom of each, it said "A poster series from The Coca-Cola Company and
Burger King", and each had "Number One of Four", etc. The second deal
was through another burger chain, now defunct, Burger Chef, and at the
bottom of each, it said "A poster series from The Coca-Cola Company and
Burger Chef Systems Inc." The third set was distributed in Japan only,
and at the bottom of each of those, it said "A poster series from The
Coca-Cola Company (Japan)". The fourth set was distributed in the U.S.
by Coca-Cola, it said "An original poster series from The Coca-Cola
Company".
