Re: Hondo's Daybill and One Sheet Q&A [Re-Titled]
My thoughts on the Australian daybill film poster allocation of blank space for screening details information.
Originally introduced on the top of Australian long daybills sized 15'' x 40'' in the early nineteenth century until 1941, when this size was replaced with a smaller 13'' x 30'' size that was now printed without a blank area included.
In the 1970s and 1980s on 16mm commercially released films only a blank space for screening details. was now included on the bottom of the posters.
More to follow shortly.

Watched EPiC - Elvis Presley in Concert. If you thought Austin Butler made a good Elvis, make sure you see how good the real thing really is. It's typically flash and frantic in Baz style.

Re: Yeah, so, I am watching this..,
Top marks indeed Ves for being able to view these early films of Alfred Hitchcock.
I asked the following question on Google of ''Did Alfred Hitchcock have a fascination with model trains?''. Some relevant information published in reply from them follows.
Alfred Hitchcock did indeed have a profound, life-long fascination with trains, which he frequently incorporated into his filmmaking as crucial plot device ,setting of suspense . and, at times in the form of models.
Childhood interest; Hitchcock's fascination began in his youth, where he reportedly spent time studying time-tables, maps, and London train routes.
Use of Models/Miniatures; In the early talkie Number Seventeen (1932) Hitchcock famously used miniature model trains to create an ''ode to mechanical speed''.

Re: Questions for Bruce-EMP
There was a major disconnect between our site and the Auction site on the Watch List. We think all the Watch List issues are now resolved.
Wherever on our site you click "Watch" or on a "Watch List" link it should show your Watch List accurately.
There also was an issue with a small number of users logging on, and getting an error message. In those cases the error message was the mistake, and all those people had to do is refresh the page and they are logged in.
If ANY of you find ANY problem of any kind (but especially logging in), please send an email to matt@emovieposte.com and describe the problem in words and inlclude a screen shot if possible, and be sure to say what browser it was on, and what device (phone, laptop, or desktop).
Of course we most want to resolve EVERY problem anyone has prior to the Tuesday auctions closing in 2 1/2 days.
Thanks very much and we apologize for all inconvenience.

Re: Rare Australian Posters Of Australian Films
The following are an Australian daybill, one sheet and seven lobby cards printed for the film OZ from 1976.
( Facebook) 
Is Printed on all lobby cards.
The original Australian film release was by British Empire Films (BEF). At an unknown later period of time it would appear that the Australian distribution rights were then acquired by Regent Films. The following Australian daybill poster credited with Regent, and for some reason or another had the original design printed in black and white, and also they had left off the three images that were included in the original artwork.

Artist was Peter Ledger who produced the art on a few other Australian posters. He passed away about 30 years ago.
