I think they probably just didn't care much in those days. The director was mentioned on top of the poster "A MARTIN RITT PRODUCTION", they probably thought that was enough.
A U.S. insert poster and an Australian daybill poster of Moon Pilot.
Moon Pilot ( 1962 ) is another MGM Australian daybill example of an Australian censorship rating credit taking up the original behind the scenes credits space.
The Lawless ( 1950 ) U.S.A. insert poster, and a rare Australian daybill poster re-titled here as being The Dividing Line. Surprisingly seeing that the film is credited as being film noir, that when released in Australia it was only awarded a For General Exhibition censorship certificate,The film deals with racial discrimination and mob rule in the south of the U.S. The mistreating of the captive that appears on the U.S. poster is missing from the Australian poster, and the huge rampaging vigilantes mob reduced drastically in size as well to a mini mob.
Wasn't sure where to post this, but probably fits here. Someone got creative and created this on the back of two 1960s one sheets stuck together. I love it!

Toys In The Attic ( 1963 ) original U.S.A insert poster, and an Australian daybill poster with different artwork..
The violent slapping scene that appears above on the insert poster also appears on all the other larger American film posters that were printed. This scene when submitted to the Australian censors it would seem failed the strict Australian film advertising guidelines.
This U.S.A. 6 sheet also had a pre slapping scene on it. This is the artwork scene that United Artists decided to use here on our posters.
Agent For H.A.RM. (1966) Australian daybill, and a New Zealand Censored version of the same daybill design that was distributed there.
The New Zealand film censor during this period of time was very against violence against women, Many other examples of this can be located on this thread.
The Man Who Turned To Stone (1957) original U.S.A. insert poster, and a toned down original Australian daybill produced here when eventually released after being originally being banned here in the 1950s.
Dr. No (1962) Australian one sheet poster printed later in the 1960's.
Two of the same poster designs that were censorship altered when used in New Zealand'
I wish to highlight the inconsistency of censorship alterations that were to be made in N.Z. over the years. I have noticed that not all of the to be applied censorship instructed removals weren't always executed, and one example appears below.
