  • Speaking of Greg, I haven't been down there for ages. Has he got any new gear Matt?
    Not much, To Catch a Thief daybill, which I'm pretty sure you have. Lots of old DVD's, statues of Alien and Stars Wars gear. Just gear for the punters out there, Back to the Future posters....and so on.

    How much is he asking for the To Catch a Thief daybill?
  • 1200 or 1400, can't quite remember.
  • Love this Australian one sheet of Shakedown ( 1936 )

  • Lovely poster
  • All pretty cool.
  • I just registered that The Broken Melody is an aussie film...should have come to the House of Babic for a brief stay before going to NFSA.  Gorgeous.
  • For some reason I like this film noir poster.

  •  A couple I like for the exotic look.



  • OH OH..Now you've gone and done it!  Strange World!  Matias will be out of the woodwork now!
  • That Big Combo should have been mine except for my French nemesis!
  • OH OH..Now you've gone and done it!  Strange World!  Matias will be out of the woodwork now!
    Got it already. Actually 2 of them. Gave one to a good friend.
    Now Ves, beloved australian poster goddess... can you get me an aussie one sheet, please? ;)
  • The White Orchid was re-released under the title of Creatures Of The Jungle in 1957 by Mutual Productions along with a re-issue of Port Sinister re-released as Beast Of Paradise Isle. Thought it would be interesting for members to see the U.S. re-release poster for the double bill.


  • 3 more for the pot! 

  • Afraid... Yet Thrilled? Afraid of the 20th Century Fox deletion, yet thrilled to find this in a stack of 80's bills. 
  • While we are at it...






  • Scarlet Street's looking great framed! What's hiding to the left and right of it may I ask? =)

     There are a few other examples of the crossing out of the 20th Century Fox name on Republic Pictures 20th Century Fox Australian daybills. Duel At Apache Wells is an example that springs to mind. I have seen images of this daybill, with and without the 20th Century Fox name crossed out. I suggest that the crossed out versions were intended for use in New Zealand where the Republic Pictures product was released through Republic Pictures ( N.Z.  ) Ltd and not 20th Century Fox. There are examples such as Sands Of Iwo Jima where the posters were printed in New Zealand, including lobby cards. Possibly they used Australian daybill posters in New Zealand when they ran short of their own posters.

    That makes perfect sense, to be honest the vast majority of my Daybills are local 'finds' here in NZ and 9/10 usually have a deletion, stamp or sticker of some kind placed in a not so subtle spot.

    Thanks! Duryea and co. are resting currently so completely different ones are up right now :)
