Re: Yeah, so, I am watching this..,
May I suggest a local one?theartofmovieposters said:In addition to The Killing, Sweet Smell of Success and The Night of the Hunter are right up there for me as far as classic noir films go.
Would love to hear of any other recommendations you or others might have in this space.
"Originally intended as the third film in a trilogy of Cornell Woolrich adaptations (the first two of which comprise director Carlos Hugo Christensen’s NEVER OPEN THAT DOOR) only to be expanded into its own feature film, this haunting child’s-eye noir takes the form of a dark, dreamlike fairy tale (in many ways anticipating THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER) as it follows Lucio (Néstor Zavarce), the young son of a police inspector investigating the serial killings of local children. When one of Lucio’s classmates winds up murdered, the boy sets out on his own to catch a killer."
This was on the Criterion Channel and was released in bluray, so it wouldn't be hard to find to see online somewhere

Re: Hondo's This And That
They are great posters!Wil said:At $20 each they were a bargain. They definitely appear on ebay now and then. There's one dealer who must have bought a job lot of TTCSM ones as he keeps adding more.Rick said:I'd seen the TTCSM mock daybill but not Day of the Dead or Hellraiser. They're great.

Re: Where Are These Daybills?
Even a like would be appreciated. The amount of time and effort that I put inro researching and then presenting this information here was extensive. It is very disappointing after all this work, that apart from Peter's responses nothing at all.HONDO said:Any feedback/comments regarding my Hoyts parts 1 and 2 posted information welcomed.
It may be just a case of not having anything to contribute, which is fine, but at least a click on the like button would certainly indicate to me an interest and encourage me to continue posting more non quiz entries containing information of mostly little known poster and film related information. Only a second or two it does take to press the like or agree button, and even better it is for me to receive some feedback.
A thank you though to Peter for his like for part one and to Bruce for his like for part two. Much appreciated.

Re: Where Are These Daybills?
As previously mentioned here there were 35 known P.R.C. films credited as being released here in Australia by Hoyts between 1945 and 1947. Not a single daybill or any other size posters have been located for any of these films.. With the newspaper advertising that I have managed to locate previously for some of the 35 titles that feature P,R.C crediting there is no Australian distributor mentioned.
This has now changed as I have recently located an undated image of an Australian newspaper advertisement for the P.R.C. Film The Man Who Walked Alone, which is one of the above mentioned 35 films. The film is advertised as being released by National Films Of N.S,W, How this distributor's information then fits into the puzzle is unknown.
I will continue to search for more images and information regarding this subject.
Some information regarding early Hoyts film releasing will be revealed here in the future.
