Re: Rare Australian Posters Of Australian Films
I had the blue background Come Up Smiling daybill many moons ago, it was poorer than the above image, with the blank top roughly torn off.

Re: Hondo's This And That
Hopefully there may be some more long stashed hordes of posters unearthed.
Re: War Movies Quiz
I do intend to rest this quiz and replace it with a new quiz shortly.
The new quiz will be titled The Comedy Quiz.

Two different design Come Up Smiling ( 1939 ) original release Australian daybills. Apart from these daybills no other poster sizes were able to be located.
The film premiered at the Strand Theatre, Hobart 3rd November 1939.After disappointing results, Ken Hall retitled the movie Ants In His Pants, and added a comic song to explain the new title. This version was launched at the Capitol Theatre in Sydney immediately after Christmas. ( Ozmovies )
The following two items printed with the new changed title are the only posters that l I have been able to locate.

The Australian distribution of the originally titled film Come Up Smiling is certainly of great interest.
This film was originally released on the 3rd of November 1939 as Come Up Smiling. but later on in eight weeks time the then slightly altered film was released on 29 December 1939, and advertised as being the Australian premiere. The very interesting thing here was that the film was screened at different venues around Australia at times on the same day with the two different advertised titles Come Up Smiling was screened between November 1939 and at least with only very limited screenings in.1942. Under the title Ants In His Pants though less screenings appeared to have taken place though between December 1939 and at least November 1940
.
In response ro the question that Ves queried, no daybills or any other large poster material has been located for Ants In His Pants. Apart from the two daybills included above no other Come Up Smiling poster material has been located by me after extensive searching. Surprisingly though nine lobby cards were found for Ants in His Pants (8 in colour and 1 black and white version). I would love to know what other film poster material would have been printed for the two versions of the film. To be able to sight a press sheet/s would be great.
Some additional Ants in His Pants lobby cards follow below. The lobby cards would appear to have been printed at three different times due to the placement of the credits on the colour scene cards, and also one being exhibited in black and white.
The above seven colour lobby cards, and the earlier posted colour lobby card are courtesy of the NFSA.

Re: Television Episodes Shown Theatrically In Australia Posters
HONDO said:I recently discovered the following extremely rare two different style Australian daybill image that were printed for Mission Of Danger. Interestingly there are thee copies existing for the first white background title, and one only for the black baclground version. Previously I have never sighted any daybil limages of either version of this film.HONDO said:
A rare Australian one sheet of Frontier Rangers and a duotone daybill of Fury River.
There was a U.S.A. television series titled Northwest Passage. This series consisted of 26 episodes with under 30 minute running times that were screened in the U.S.A. in 1958-1959. This was an early example of a series to be filmed in colour.
Three feature films were edited together from the series.
Frontier Rangers was edited from the first three episodes of the series and released outside of America as a feature film. Released in Australia in 1959.
Mission Of Danger was edited from three more episodes and released outside of America as a feature film. Released in Australia in 1960.
Fury River was edited from three episodes and also released outside of America as a feature film. Released in Australia in 1961,
Both images are from Trove and the posters originated from a Tasmanian theatre from the time when the film was screened there.
The remaining third daybill image.
