Re: The Horror Quiz
Correct and well done. 2012 was actually the release date of the film.dedeposter said:Ah! Finally got 348 - in my mind I was thinking The Woman In White...but that got me nowhere with searches, so then found The Woman In Black (2013). All the clues were there!
I saw an excellent stage play version in Sydney in 1991 which starred famed British film actor Richard Todd. The Woman in Black is the second longest running non-musical play in West End London history, after The Mousetrap, playing between 1989 and the 4th of March 2023 with 13,232 performances given.

Re: All Things Film Censorship Related in Australia
I'd say it was so they had a wider audience to view the film in it's initial release, same reason why there was a PG rated version of Saturday Night Fever released after the first release to get a younger audience, who wanted to see it, but couldn't when it was rated R, although that was done after the first release (but still to get more bums on seats).
Re: The Science Fiction Quiz
I think you're right, it has that MGM look about it. I was thinking The Time Machine but knew that wasn't correct.
Re: Hondo's This And That
Thanks for the info Lawrence.HONDO said:O.k. let us commence by stating that this original 1954 U.S.A. released film was first screened in Australia circa 1960 by an unknown Australian film distributor. It was shown at least in a Newcastle N.S.W. newsreel theatrette. In 1963 the film was picked up for distribution and re-released more commercially by Regent Films. Regent didn't exist in 1960 when the film was first released. I can understand why you had thought that this poster was rare but I have posted below an image from my files of eight other images of this poster, originating from a 2013 Theadore Bruce Sydney auction,, along with a single poster also auctioned by Theodore Bruce the year before in 2012.John said:Well, they are obviously rare and you did ask for daybills that have not been sighted before to be added here. The question is why would there be two different daybills for such a very obscure film - even if one came before the other.
The following Regent (RFD) 1963 re-release daybill poster has ''An Encore Presentation By Regent film Distributors'' printed on the bottom of the poster. The image of this daybill is rare and I have only seen one other image from CineMaterial that I am unable to download.

Re: Rare Australian Posters Of Australian Films
When I first came across the B&W cards I thought they were just limited photograph versions that someone had done, it wasn't until much later I found out they were actual Australian 'lobby cards'. Nothing like the quality of the US versions.

A Wynne Davies long daybill. An early Loretta Young movie, and pictured (sort of) on the poster.
