Re: Yeah, so, I am watching this..,
In addition to The Killing, Sweet Smell of Success and The Night of the Hunter are right up there for me as far as classic noir films go.
Would love to hear of any other recommendations you or others might have in this space.

And great direction! And Katie Johnson managed to steal the spotlight from some of the finest actors ever!

Re: A Hard Days Night / 2001 A Space Odyssey/ Julius Caesar
I have revised my opinion that the Julius Caesar one sheet is a 1960's re-release poster, and as Darolo said I do agree now that it is an original 1950's poster.darolo said:Julius Caesar looks original to me. It was released again in the 60's with the MGM lion logo common to that period.
My thinking had been based on the following, The word masterpiece printer's credit which isn't normally applied on a first release poster, the absence of a printer's credit which was often the case on a re-release poster, the black and white section, and finally the original Australian daybill's tagline being shown as All Hail.
The reason for my change of thinking is as follows. I have viewed again the copy in question and found that the one sheet has the correct logo application of An MGM Picture printed on it. This style of credit is from that period of time. The absence of a printer's credit was on checking out with my vast MGM one sheet images folder, was found that sometimes often this was the case during the early 1950's. Finally the image of the raised sword from the original artwork ties in.
Along with the original sighted single copy Australian daybill this one sheet is extremely rare.

Re: Rare Australian Posters Of Australian Films
It would be good if the NFSA could put images of their archived posters on their website.
