Re: Hondo's This And That
Thanks for your comments Bruce. I will re-introduce next an earlier thread from July 2018 titled Rare Horizontal Style Daybills that talks about the horizonal daybill subject as well that you may find to be of interest.Bruce said:I don't know of any other posters that measured 15x40, so yes, that does seem to make it much more likely.
But why so incredibly few horizontal ones, and from very different times?
In the U.S. experiments like changing size usually occurred over a short time, and then were abandoned.

Re: Rare Horizontal Style Daybills
To hopefully help assist and add some more information to the discussion currently taking place on the Hondo's This And That Thread that covers Australian horizontal daybills, this thread may also prove to be of some interest.

The following example of a Regent (RFD) 1960's released Battle Of Blood Island produced daybill certainly appears to have been printed by a professional printer.

Re: Hondo's This And That
Could it be because most display cases outside cinemas were designed for vertical posters and the occasional horizontal poster would have to be displayed in a special way? I imagine the horizontal posters would have been less popular for that reason alone.Bruce said:I don't know of any other posters that measured 15x40, so yes, that does seem to make it much more likely.

Re: A Do You Know Your Classic Movies Quiz.
Correct and well figured out. Gun Crazy from 1950.jayn_j said:656 is Gun Crazy. I thought Bonnie and Clyde first, because the actress looks a lot like Faye Dunaway. Second look says the car is from the late 40s, not 30s.

Re: Rare Australian Posters Of Australian Films
Great pics, I have a director friend who held the rights to remake this for many years but nothing ever came of it.
Re: Rare Australian Posters Of Australian Films
Two silent versions of The Mystery Of A Hansom Cab were filmed and released in Australia in 1911 and 1925.
The 1911 version. Some unique form of poster advertising follows that well may be the only record available of any film poster advertising for this film version.

The 1925 version. Two newspaper advertisements and a rare Australian lobby card
