I picked up a collection of posters that originated from the private collection of the owner of F. Cunninghame printers. They printed many posters for Universal, Ray Films and Blake Films in the 50s including this one. Interestingly, he often noted actual the number of daybills and one sheets that were printed on the back of the poster.
Pattern for Murder daybill - another rare Ray Films poster from the F. Cunninghame collection. There are many others in these 50s one colour styles from MGM, Universal, IFD, London Films and more. Pattern for Murder and The Brass Key were 1955 British second-feature films constructed by editing together episodes of the television series The Cases of Eddie Drake
The original Australian printed one sheet and daybill of the 1947 20th Century Fox released film Roses Are Red. Interestingly the Australian Ray Films one sheet copied the artwork used on the original dayill and not as seen on the one sheet.
Regarding The Glass Key and Pattern For Murder dayblls, along with the Roses Are Red one sheet. if per chanch any of these three posters has the printed number of printed posters written on the back of the posters it would be great to know this information.
