HONDO — Fri, 17 Jul 2015 11:10:00 +0000

I am in the process of listing all the films that were released in Australia by Eric Dare / Dare Films / House Of Dare.

The following titles from the 1970s are the ones I am aware of.

BETTY BLOKK BUSTER FOLLIES

CITIZEN KANE ( re-release )

GULLIVER'S TRAVELS ( re-release )

HOPPITY GOES TO TOWN ( re-release )

KING KONG ( re-release )

Does anyone have any daybills or any other form of Australian posters with any mention of Eric Dare, Dare Films or House Of Dare printed on them?

Have daybill images of four of the five above listed films but would love to see a daybill for the Citizen Kane RR.

American International Pictures ( AIP ) Slow Start In Australia.

HONDO — Sun, 16 Aug 2015 06:08:00 +0000

American International Pictures was formed in the U.S.A. in April, 1954 as American Releasing Corporation but within a short amount of time had a name change to American International Pictures. A surprising amount of the films released under the two names from 1954 to 1969 were not released in Australia, Some were banned from exhibition here but a lot appears were not picked up for distribution in Australia from a variety of distributors.. Film distributors that handled the 1950s & 1960s output in Australia included Ray Films, IFD, MGM, Columbia, Blake, Paramount & Roadshow. Some of the 1960s titles that were banned were finally released in the late 1960s with the majority in the early 1970s.

M-G-M Logos Used On Australian Daybills In The 1960s.

HONDO — Wed, 19 Aug 2015 02:38:00 +0000

The following is information on logos used on Australian daybills printed on the M-G-M posters between 1960 and 1969.

The years below are for the years films were released in the U.S. and the daybills I have sighted the logos on may have had a slightly different release date in Australia.

1960 to 1966 and in some cases later in the decade --- No logo used.

1962 --- M-G-M wording encased in blocks. Two versions of this style ( down & across with the lettering versions ) used in very limited titles.

1965 to 1967 --- Leo the lion in circle with extensions attached on either side of the circle.

1967 to 1969 --- Different style drawing of Leo the lion in circle only.

Republic Pictures Logo Help

The stars aligned and I walked into the right antique booth yesterday. Found this original art board with the Republic Pictures Corporation Logo... Any help on dating it would be great!

Blake, Regent and N.S (Nathan Scheinwald) Productions

Hi fellow collectors!

Not sure if this would be better in the 'dating the daybill' section but I'm looking for any help people might be able to give. As I like to collect horror and exploitation titles, I find that many of the posters have either Regent, Blake of N.S Productions as their distributor. I've learned a little about Nathan Scheinwald but was wondering if anyone had knowledge about the other two distributors?

Thanks!

Not Suitable For Children...

I've picked up some pretty off beat daybills recently for some more adult type fare and was wondering if anyone knew anything about the following companies:

* Greg Lynch Film Distributors.
* Mutual Film Distributors.
* Briad Film Productions.
* Lyra Films.

MGM Logos on US Posters...

Charlie — Thu, 20 Aug 2015 23:14:00 +0000

I wanted to show this to the forum. This is a screen capture of the members only section of LAMP showing just the MGM logos for US posters. Since I am an honest guy, I just can't go replicating it all here without doing my own work. They have these logos for all the studios. I am planning on doing a bunch of US posters here in a day or two and maybe I'll grab logos as I go.

Columbia Pictures Logos Used On Australian Daybills In The 1960s.

HONDO — Wed, 19 Aug 2015 14:09:00 +0000

Between 1960 & 1969 ---

The lady with a torch logo was used on Australian daybills 1960 to 1966 ( possible there could have been a few early 1967 also.

The large C with a torch used 1967 to 1969.

There were daybills without either logo that were logo free found in the late 1960s also- e.g. Luv,Easy Rider, Land Raiders & Happy Birthday, Wanda June.

I have always believed this daybill with the lady with a torch logo was printed for the first Australian release in 1962. I know the majority of others that have commented on which of many The Guns Of Navarone daybills came first disagree. The other daybills that are logo free in my opinion only would be from a late 1960s re-release. I am aware of the censorship classification argument but I think the logo wins out over the rating classification.
