Re: Questions for Bruce-EMP

"Might be a bug in the latest software update."

Yes. The update is on AuctionAnything, the company that hosts the auctions.

But eMoviePoster.com has to synch a lot of stuff to their data, and they messed a lot of that up with their update.

We are rushing to get it all fixed, but its complicated!

More on this tomorrow.

Thanks for understanding. The silver lining is that the first auctions don't close for 9 days.

how do you find these rarities?

By having extensively searched over many many year, mainly on Google and Trove, Daybill images I have on file are numerous.

I think in all probability they just didn't think of adding a blank space!

Wheels Across A Wilderness (1966) early 16mm commercial released film daybill and one sheet film posters.

Two things to highlight here are firstly a one sheet produced for a commercial 16mm Australian release is indeed rare. The only one that I am aware of. Secondly no blank section appearing on the bottom of the daybill, and also the one sheet. It would certainly appear that this practice of having a blank space added was only introduced at a later period of time, most likely very early 1970s with the surfing film boom.

I'd say that the 35mm prints would have been blow ups from 16mm, common practice in those days.

On checking I found that Escape World Safari! 111 was originally shot on Arrifex 16SR2 cameras (16mm). Then as you mentioned it would have been blown up to 35mm, with this being the print submitted to the Australian film censor.
