Some more obscure film titles for films released in Australia in the 1950's by Paramount Pictures Australia, that possibly may not have had any full colour daybills designed by the Richardson Studios for, with only cheaply produced duotone versions designed instead.

The titles are -

Every Day's A Holiday ( L'oro Di Naples original Italian title ) ( 1954 ). Paramount Films Of Italy. Released in Australia in an edited version.

Three Crooked Men ( 1959 ). Danziger Productions, Paramount British Pictures. There is a possibility that this title may have been designed by Richardson Studio. I base this on the fact that another Danziger Productions / Paramount British Pictures film titled Links Of Justice from 1958 had a Richardson Studio / W.E. Smith colour daybill design produced for its Australian release.

Triple Blackmail ( 1955 ). A compilation film of 3 episodes of the U.K. television series The Vise. Danziger Productions. Paramount British Pictures.

Three Cornered Fate ( 1955 ). A compilation film of 3 television episodes of the U.K. television series The Vise. Danziger Productions. Paramount British Pictures.

Lady In The Fog ( 1952 ). Hammer Film Productions, Exclusive Films. Released in the U.S.A. under the title Scotland Yard Inspector by Lippert Pictures.

Additional backup with the Godzilla one sheet now surfacing, and thus adding to my belief, that Paramount Pictures as previously mentioned didn't produce any Richardson Studio designed full colour daybill versions for a number of films in the 1950's, and in the case of the one sheets a decent full colour version.

Stumbled across this Australian newspaper advertisement placed for a one night only screening in Queanbetan N.S.W. in 1963. The artwork is certainly more impressive than that was produced for the Paramount daybill and the one sheet appearing above.

Some information on this cute Australian duotone daybill. It would certainly appear that Paramount Pictures Australia only had a short term release agreement in Australia, with this being from 1957 to circa 1964. By 1965 and through to at least 1969 Godzilla King Of The Monsters was screened in Australia on double bills with other Regent Films ( RFD ) releases. This would certainly seem to me that the above daybill would have been produced for a circa 1965 Regent Films re-release.

I'm sure I smile everytime I look at this image.

Re: Rockabilly's poster collection

Thanks as always, MAGG-a-blood spattered tiki god! (filmed, of course in thrilling stereoscopic shriek-o-vision)

Yeah, no shame here. I know there's a significant chunk of our population who are deeply closeted appreciators of automotive culture relics of days past. I'm just here to help out and feed their need. Lurk if they must, but I'm happy to provide the service.

I have waaaaaaaay too many posters of all kinds already, but until I can shake the disease (as our pals in Depeche Mode would say), I suppose I'll keep filling the many voids in life with purchases of posters and other associated trinketry.
