Example from "Overland Telegraph(1951)" - photo 9

Don't know who submitted this lobby card (showing Tim Holt and his horse) but it has a banner at the bottom reading:Alamy stock photo....website,and, then, has their trademark or watermark plastered all over the lobby card.

In essence, this card has been altered..neither RKO nor any of its exchanges or National Screen Service ever sent it to the theatrical exhibitors with "alamy" pastered all over it.

I have the full set of eight 11x14 lobby cards from this film...and nary a one has "Alamy' trashing up the card.

Photo 10,the one-sheet poster....http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2647656448/tt0043891?ref_=ttmd_md_nxt..."found at CineMaterial.com.

When the site stared allowing contributor-photos,did it intend and/or encourage contributors to go on a search of the internet to find-and-submit photos back to the site in order to build up the IMDb "photo" inventory?

Thanks Les, no these images should be removed. I've done so on the above example.

Regards,
Will
