Boy are early Australian press sheets from especially the 1930s and the 1940s hard to come by.

It didn't play in Melbourne, Sydney audiences failed to show up so it closed early before touring, which is a shame because it's a lot of fun. It would have done better if it had opened in Melbourne first.
This subject is interesting because of the crossovers with comedy and other genres like sci fi or horror or westerns. I'll need to pay more attention and think outside the box.

Re: We want it scary...but not TOO scary!
Australian film advertising guidelines from the censorship department were inconsistent when one looks back on posters printed up to the 1970's. Firearms of all shapes and sizes were never a problem in having them being depicted, on film posters. Axes and hooks were also allowed as seen following with the Killer's Kiss and My Gun Is Quick 1950's daybill examples.
The biggest problem with censorship was the depiction of threatening knives which had originally appeared on U.S.A. artwork, but then were on the Australian posters altered to just showing clenched fists. The odd examples managed to be drawn and ended up in the market place though.
