O.k. my next comment isn't regarding a daybill or an Australian one sheet, but an important missing Australian three sheet.
Original U.S.A.1956 Jailhouse Rock three sheet.
Bruce sold an Australian three sheet of Jailhouse Rock in 2000 for $520, so we know that at least one copy exists. No image is available but we surely can rule out that it was in duotone, similar to the duotone daybill that is in the marketplace, but an original full colour poster. Will we ever see an image of an original full colour Australian three sheet in our lifetime I wonder? Perhaps the one that Bruce sold is the only one that survived.
Amended June 8 posting of what I had originally intended to say. Must have had a bad day,
The previously seen The Siege Of Pinchgut ( 1959 ) daybill and now the Australian one sheet had surfaced. A lot of previously unsighted posters are turning up in New Zealand these days.
Lawrence Of Arabia ( 1962 ).The film was released in Australia in late 1963, after the Academy Awards were announced.
I may be wrong, but is this Australian one sheet that was printed for the 1963 Australian first release the first time this poster image has publically appeared? Even if it has appeared in the past though, the poster is still incredibly rare.
There should be one from Roadshow I would think. The film was a 1963 U.S. release and most likely banned originally in Australia. It did I have just discovered have a screening in Canberra, A.C.T. on 22nd of December, 1972 with the title of Man With The X-Ray Eyes.
Blake Films actually acquired this film originally for Australian distribution, pre Roadshow, thus making it earlier than the late 1960s.
The Canberra, A.C.T. screening previously mentioned as taken place on the 22nd of
December 1972 was most likely distributed by Roadshow, who by then had acquired A.I.P. product current, ongoing and back catalogue. They then released some product previously distributed by other
companies.
I thought that I would include this rare Australian three sheet image of Mannequin from 1937 here within this tread.
What I find interesting is that the Australian poster artist swapped an eye catching Joan Crawford image that appears on the above U.S. three sheet and opted for the completely different ellegent night attire dress, similar to what appeared on one of the U.S. one sheet poster styles.
Charlie Chan In Shanghai ( 1935 ), This daybill image that was listed as missing here in August 2015 has finally surfaced. Coming up for auction on HA this month is this super rare poster.
I had previously mentioned in August 2015 that there were sighted Australian 3 sheets for the above three titles , but no images were available at that time to see.
An image for one of those three earlier mentioned 3 sheet titles is The Lusty Men ( 1952 ). It is now available, so I have included an image of if below.
The commonly available Australian daybill of The Lusty Men appears below as well to show the comparisons in designs for the two posters. Red vs yellow posters on display.
