Missing Australian daybill posters of the 1950s.
There is a huge amount of Australian daybill film poster images currently unavailable to be seen by the general public. I do intend to attempt to list as many missing titles as possible from the 1950's decade that I am aware of, over a period of time, This project is to inform members of some hopefully interesting information, along with the hope that this may assist in bringing forth a few images of posters that are perhaps sitting deep in some member's collections, so fingers crossed. I do intend to commence working on part one of this project shortly. 1

Following below are the two missing Marilyn titles, with these being Be Your Age (original USA title Monkey Business), and Love Nest from 1951).
A U.S.A. original insert poster of Monkey Business (1952), and an Australian press sheet page printed for Be Your Age, the Australian title.
Love Nest (1951) original USA insert poster.
An Australian newspaper advertisement of The Glenrowan Affair 1951 world premiere season in Sydney NSW, It is then followed by another newspaper advertisement placed during the film's run.
As this Bitter Springs daybill poster is usually advertised as being a 1950 printed poster I am wondering if anyone agree with this?
The above version isn't a full colour W.E. Smith printed design by the confirmed poster artist Aub Mosely. Next it doesn't have the Released in Australia by Eagle Lion. Distributed by B.E.F. credit that was in place on some product at that time. Examples of this appearing on Bitter Springs advertising follow below.
Some other examples of the Eagle Lion/BEF Australian distribution details in place around that period of time follow with details appearing on Golden Salamander and Morning Departure daybills.
To sum up the below poster version in question printed by F. Cunninghame is a later 1950's printed second printing.
