Many others have tried to shut him down over the years.
When complaints are filed, he returns the money and has the negative review erased. I predict he will shortly be back totally unscathed.

There was a LOT of discussion on this on the allposterforum.com. Bruce also has detailed pages on emovieposter.com

No clue needed for C33, I recognise those Goons. It's Down Among The Z men (1952)

Yes it is indeed Down Among The Z Men. The image included Harry Secombe, Michael Bentine and Spike Milligan. This film was the only film to feature all four members of the Goons as a team. Also included in the image below is the fourth Goon member Peter Sellers, along with cast member Carole Carr. The film was a quickly shot low budget production,

Patience John. A question for you though is have you ever seen any American made films appearing on Australian posters where the U.S. spelling of the film's title have been changred to our English way of spelling the word?

Here's one example.

The printer may not have had access to artwork or ad blocks but they surely could access a dictionary - color has a u added to it in our world.

I'll leave it to someone else to comment on the above statement.

These spelling anomalies were very common. They used the American version of English many times with movies that were produced in the US and shown in Australia. It really is beyond me why it was felt that the English language needed to be changed with so many words but it is what it is.

There are literally hundreds of words that have been changed. Colour - Color, Favourite - Favorite, Apologise - Apologize, etc etc. I think it's pretty bizarre that you have to choose whether you want to use Traditional English or American English on computers these days and even more annoying when spellcheck tries to tell me that the English version is not correct.
