I cannot access the images. There was only one original release daybill in Australia to the best of my knowledge. Two other versions were re-releases/follow up printings. There was also a latter double title daybill as well of Forty Thousand Horsemen & Hit The Ice. All there posters were produced for the one distributor Universal then later Universal-Internation.
thanks Bruce. Its likely there were 2 distributors for the film in the US at the same time..
Thanks also Bruce. I don't believe Universal released the film at all in the U.S.A, as there isn't any proof this happened. The sepia lobby card marked country of origin U.S.A. may have been, as well as the locally produced ones, used here in Australia as well. I will detail some more information soon regarding the U.S. release by S.S. Krellberg / Goodwill and another distributor previously not mentioned on the forum.
It was mentioned previously Forty Thousand Horsemen was released in New York in September 1941. My research has come up with the film had its first release in New York City, New York on the 14th of August 1941, according to Ozmovies, Wikipedia, World Heritage Encyclopedia and IMDB among others. Some reviews for the film tie in around this time. The New York Times review on the 15th of August and the U.S.A. trade publication The Film Daily review appeared on the 13th of August. The review date for Forty Thousand Horsemen that appeared in The Film Daily Yearbook Of Motion Pictures 1960 USA yearbook listed in the section titled Features Released Since 1915 In The USA credits the film's distributor as being Goodwill. As I cannot locate any information on Goodwill being a film distributor anywhere I am wondering - 1) Did Goodwill distribute the film themselves? Or 2) Did Goodwill originally distribute the film themselves, then turn over the distribution to the Povery Row distributor Monogram Pictures? Or 3) Was the film, although not credited on any poster material, actually released physically by Monogram Pictures from the very beginning? I found the Monogram credit in an article published on Forty Thousand Horsemen originally published by World Heritage Enyclopedia. One mention only regarding Monogram being the U.S. distributor, to me doesn't make it necessarily true. The book Monogram Checklist doesn't list it at all.
Australian film book by Andrew Pike and Ross Cooper says " The cost of the filming was personally met by Herc Mcintyre, managing director of Universal and a personal friend and support of Chauvel's work. McIntyre contributed a total of 5000 pounds towards the entire film, and undertook too distribute it free of distribution charges up to the recovery of production and print costs".
