Re: Spot The Poster Errors
Spot on Bruce. He was incorrectly credited as being Roger Strauss on the French poster.Bruce said:Robert Strauss
Most likely he will be remembered mainly for playiing Sgt. Stanisiaus ''Animal'' Kuzawa in Stalag 17 in 1953.
As he appeared in Attack! and Stalag17.

Re: Jedda
Some interesting facts about the film Jedda's running time.
The original Australian cinema release had a confirmed running time of 101 minutes.
Interestingly the Australian released DVD running time is listed as being only 91 minutes,
A most disturbing running time though is that of the originally released U.K. version with the title change to Jedda The Uncivilised, Wikipedia lists the film's running time in the U.K. to be that of only 61 minutes. This equates to this version losing 40% of the original film's running time. Those patrons that had originally viewed the film in the U.K. surely must have noticed problems with the film's continuity

Re: Gone With The Wind very first release Australian posters
Based on all you very helpful people contributed, I am now going to simply list it as a "three-sheet". I will say that it does not match the image of any known U.S. or Australian three-sheet, and I can see a possibility it is an English "six-sheet", but I can't locate an image of that.
I am sure it is an incomplete first release poster, and I will hope someone comes forward with more information!
Thanks so much.

Re: The Horror Quiz
Sorry but not House Of Dracula. Certainly on the right path though.jayn_j said:The hints point toward the House of Horrors/Frankenstein/Dracula series, but I can't find that device in any image. House of Dracula comes closest.
As the answer for 323 appears will not be forthcoming I will now reveal the film to be The Ghost Of Frankenstein from 1942.

There is a reference to the daybill but no image is shownHONDO said:
A question to John. Is there an image, or even just a mention of the existence of an Australia daybill appearing on the press sheet?

Re: The Horror Quiz
I thought that I would explain my previous 324 clue of Singing Cowboy that you may have wondered about at the time.
In the 1930's Dick Foran was known as the the singing cowboy when he appeared in numerous western films such as Song Of The Saddle in 1936.

Re: The Horror Quiz
Is 324 "Horror Island" 1941? Took a bit of sleuthing but I think I got there. 323 looks awfully familiar too.
