Re: Rare Australian Posters Of Australian Films
HONDO said:A question Peter is when you worked on the 1986 made for television film Army Wives did you perchance get to meet any of the actors that appeared in the film? I am thinking not as you work would seem to have been post shooting, but one can only ask.
Two of my good friends John and Mary Spicer, who were husband and wife in real life appeared in the film where they also played husband and wife. They were friends with the film's director Denny Lawrence who they worked with on sone other of his film and television directed films.dedeposter said:Phillip Quast is the only one I remember interacting with.

Re: Rare Australian Posters Of Australian Films
So sad. Hopefully his work can live on through his posters, and you may be as kind in include some of the images here,
The one sheets that I have images of are for Man Of Flowes, My First Wife, Lonely Hearts and Cactus. There is one other unconfirmed title waiting to be confirmed as being an original one sheet,

Re: Hondo's Daybill and One Sheet Q&A [Re-Titled]
Both the above posters were printed for the U.S.A., with the American distributor New Line Cinema credited on both posters. I believe that the above first featured black background image is only advance pre release artwork printed before the second above official release titled changed one sheet was produced. I will hold back on revealing some other information to support this, hoping firstly that I hear from anyone agreeing or disagreeing with this thinking.

Re: John’s Nail Biting Announcement…
Isn't this just another example of what already know? Aussie posters are nuts:

Re: John’s Nail Biting Announcement…
Its not overprinted. If you compare the cloud at the top left on both posters, you can see where that is slightly cropped on the shorter version. So, about one inch has been cropped leaving the "...Remember he's on your side" text closer to the top heading text. They are two different printings.dedeposter said:Is the text of "...Remember he's on your side" (and don't get me started on the punctuation of that line!), Is it overprinted with white ink, or is it the absence of blue ink that creates the text? If it's white ink then it may have been added in a separate pass and been slightly misaligned during a second pass through the printer (but still doesn't answer other differences).

Re: Hondo's Daybill and One Sheet Q&A [Re-Titled]
I had mentioned that it was an advertising block. The interesting thing is the positioning of the car on the add block that makes the artwork much more effective than that was used on the daybill. The top section of the daybill to my thinking is only ordinary at best.dedeposter said:Looks like those images on the Press Sheet are "ADVERTISING BLOCKS AS ILLUSTRATED" as mentioned in the accessories section. My thought on not having a one sheet is that this is a limited release (as mentioned it only screened in one Melbourne cinema), I assume Sydney would be the same, so the cost of doing multiple formats wouldn't be justified.
.
The BEF released version was screened in Canberra ACT on 7 May 1975 and again on 4 December 1975.,
Being a major distributor in Australia one would think a one sheet would have been printed.
Is as they say the film didn't fare well at the box office why then did GUO (formally BEF) then produce lobby cards two years later in 1976, one has to wonder.
