Immediate Disaster was originally released in the U.K. in 1954 as Stranger From Venus. I located this rare U.K. poster.

I wonder whether the film "Immediate Disaster" lived up to its name? 🤔

It might have been a "Rich and Rich Production, but rich didn't extend to the printing of the daybills!

Do you think The Wife of Monte Cristo daybill is a first printing? Or a re-issue?

Thanks for your question Peter.

It is definitely first release. The film is listed in The Film Weekly Motion Picture Directory 1956-1957 yearbook as being first released in Sydney on October14, 1955.

Don't let the duotone format throw you as Paramount produced many duotone daybills and one sheets for some B grade films that they released in the 1950s. Examples can be located in the Forum's 1950's First Release Australian Daybills Not Designed By Richardson Studio For Paramount Pictures September 2018 thread. Three of the titles listed in that thread appear below, but there are other daybill examples you can checkout by visiting the earlier thread.
