Country Town (1971). Two slightly different printed versions of the same design.

The film was originally shot on 16mm, but later upgraded to 35mm. Country Town was originally first released by the producers themselves in Australia during the middle of 1971 in country areas.

The above daybill on the left hand side is without any distributor or printer credits, and has a blank area included on the bottom space for the screening venue /date to be included there. These inclusions, along with the pre November 1971 censorship wording of General Exhibition would surely then date this poster as being the original printed daybill that was produced for the 1971 release. 

Probably due to the film proving to be popular at the box office the film was later picked up for commercial screenings by BEF. who then had the film classified G on 35mm on 1 October 1972.

The other above daybill on the above right hand side would have to be a second version printed for BEF, and includes the post November 1971 G raring in diamond film classification rating presentation. 

Thanks for sharing. Amazing you found it.
