(Quote) Correct for 247. Good research then to find the answer. This film was released by the poverty row distributor Astor Pictures Corporation. I am sure the poster artwork would have be much better than the film itself.(Quote) Thanks for trying to assist.(Quote) I believe that the actual city in the U.S.A. called Paris that is located in Texas also had something to do with the title change.
(Quote) Two of my good friends John and Mary Spicer, who were husband and wife in real life appeared in the film where they also played husband and wife. They were friends with the film's director Denny Lawrence who they worked with on sone o…So sad.

Some comment on this poster version to follow soon.Some comments and questions to ask.
As the film was originally submitted to the Australian film censor by Warner Brothers Australia, where then do they fit into the puzzle?
I am thinking possibly the original release pre BEF di…(Quote) Apparently not, which is a shame.(Quote) Apart from a small number of only five one sheets known by me to exit, the vast majority of the large number of one sheet posters from his total output cannot be located. At least three daybills were printed for his Roadshow releases…As Rick previously stated, fascinating.
One other thing that I noticed is that the blue colour gap section between the top tip of the R inclosed triangle and the black section above is ever so slightly different in size on each of the posters.No one sheet availability listed on the Australian press sheet. Was this an error though in not including it on the press sheet? The reason for saying this is because I have a large number of one sheet images from Filmways (1971 to 1986) then later …(Quote) I had mentioned that it was an advertising block.
