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.

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.

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.

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.
