Re: Hondo's Daybill and One Sheet Q&A [Re-Titled]
This was always true of U.S. pressbooks. Some people act like "if it is not in the pressbook, it is not first release" but there is no reason to think that.HONDO said:I cannot overall speak on why there were poster accessories missing from being listed from Australian press sheets, but I can at least explain what happened with 1940's Paramount Pictures press sheets. If would appear that from the following example, along with others, that press sheets were printed well in advance of the film's release, and often certain sizes were not at the time of printing available to be included. Two other examples of this occurring are with For Whom The Bell Tolls and The Hour Before The Dawn press sheets information that were recently included here on this thread.

Re: Rare Australian Posters Of Australian Films
If you do manage Andrew to locate the photo album in the future and there are a number of photos you think would be well placed here, it would be great to see them.

Re: Rare Australian Posters Of Australian Films
Nice find! Thanks for sharing. On the Eureka Stockade (1949), I bought many years ago a photo album which was taken by one film staff of photos behind the scene. I have it search for the album - somewhere in my storage.

Re: Happy 2026! (Jan-Feb-March-April)
I have a soft spot for those poorly drawn australian posters. 
This time the artist DID nail it with the likeness of the actor.
Screamtime if fun. Poor lass had all five spooks AT THE SAME TIME!

Re: Happy 2026! (Jan-Feb-March-April)
In my introduction to the group, I mentioned a large purchase of folded one-sheets from a collector here in the Seattle area. Here's a few of the hundreds just to give an overview of the sort of stuff I was able to score. Sorry for the sloppy photos, but the actual "ready for sale" photos are one of the projects on the list for 2026/7, so I can begin putting them into my eBay store....
One quick question: I have (2) of the Jaws poster, both in similar condition. Should I look into restoration & backing if I want to get the most return? Or is that something that wouldn't bring enough of a return to justify the expenditure?
Mikel
ing them on my eBay store at some point in the near future.
Anything of particular interest?

An original rare Australian long daybill from 1927.
( Everyones/Trove)
The above cinema display image shows some extra size poster Australian artwork that was produced for The Kid Stakes. It is a pity though that the image isn't much clearer to see.

Re: Rare Australian Posters Of Australian Films
(acmi)An extremely rare Australian daybill film poster image of Steel Saga from 1960. The film was a documentary short film running 29:30 minutes. This film covered the steel production history at Port Kembla N.S.W. up to the time when the film was made. A note that this image had been ptrvious here on another forum thread in April 2019, but also needs to be included here as well.
