Re: Hondo's Daybill and One Sheet Q&A [Re-Titled]
I think there's so much inconsistency with Australian film distribution that nothing surprises me. Everyone did things their own way and it wouldn't surprise me if different people within the same organisation put their own stamp on the types of posters and materials printed.
NSS in the US at least had (more) consistent sizes of posters.

Re: A Do You Know Your Classic Movies Quiz.
Correct so well done, I thought the Bogart clue would hopefully assist, which it did.dedeposter said:667 - The Enforcer (1951)
Bob Steele seen on the right hand side of the above image.
Following is the another film where Bob Steele appeared in a Bogart film The Big Sleep in 1946,
Bob Steele as seen below played Trooper Duffy in the television series F Troop in 63 episodes between 1965 and 1967. He also was a prolific B movie cowboy actor in the 1920s through to the 1940s, and acted in 198 films from 1920 to 1974 in starring roles down to uncredited bit parts in the later part of his career.

K, here is the original artwork for the one sheet...artist Ian McCausland. This is not what the final looked like, but that art is on it.
I do know what the final one sheet looked like, but I am not allowed to share it...sorry.
Some similar artwork appearing on a New Zealand image of unknown origin. Note the Paris (Australia) wording included in the top tagline.

Re: Hondo's This And That
Australia and the world including the U.S.A. took a long period of time in installing sound equipment in cinemas after sound was first introduced to cinemas ib the U.S.A. in the late 1920's. Some information on this transition in Australia follows below.

Re: Rare Australian Posters Of Australian Films
Lonely Hearts was my first film as an assistant editor. Hoyts distributed it so it's possible that between them and Adams/Packer (who were also producers of it), they might not have agreed to let Paul have that "A FILM BY PAUL COX" credit. Of course, it may have just been an oversight. I think John B. Murray and Paul would have had a hand in designing the poster. Alex Stitt did the artwork for it.
Re: Poster Linen Backing Overkill
Many of my customers like the backing to clean up and remove fold lines for framing the poster. My tag line of the highest quality at the best price gets them to back a poster by us, then they become a steady customer. I got tired of PosterFx ruining posters and many of his customers found us, and our prices are much lower.
Here are a couple of examples.

Re: Australian Daybills comprehensive Video on YouTube
I also agree with John that it was overall an interesting and praiseworthy look into the history of posters, particularly Australian daybills. The whole project from start to finish would certainly have taken a very long period of time to complete it. I do appreciate from the video now being able to see a number of rare daybill posters that I had never previously sighted. As John had mentioned a lot of time and effort went into compiling the video, so top marks from me for that.
John mentions that there are some fairly minor errors in the video. The reason that I mentioned mistakes that do appear in the video is because I am a stickler for authenticity in anything related to film posters,
