(Quote) A reversal though, if only minor, with the just auctioned Captain Clegg daybill sold by Bruce for $76, with this being the highest price (non linen backed) for a while. One has to wonder if Bruce has any more copies still waiting to b…

No correct answer received for either 351 or 352 is certainly disappointing.
The 351 answer then is Legend Of The Werewolf from 1975. I did like my just hanging around clue though.
And for 352 it is Madhouse from 1974. Adrienne… -
A clue for C667 is F Troop.

On all the official distributors known printed Paul Cox film one sheets and daybills, plus the special Inside Looking Out poster the wording of A FILM BY PAUL COX was prominently printed on the vast majority of them. One exception though is that the…

(Quote) Thanks for the guess, but it isn't Vampire Circus, The correct actress though.

I also agree with John that it was overall an interesting and praiseworthy look into the history of posters, particularly Australian daybills. The whole project from start to finish would certainly have taken a very long period of time to complete i…

(Quote) Correct answer and well done, Anne Jeffreys appears below in the scene with Lawrence Tierney who played the title roll of John Dillinger in the film. Dillinger was a 1945 release.

A final clue for 351 is just hanging around,
A final clue for 352 is A Clockwork Orange. -
After revisiting the you tube video a few times I continue to notice inaccurate information given regarding the poster images displayed there. There are many examples of this taking place, and I will now highlight one of the major errors involved. I…

From Original American artwork a section of wording has been replaced with new material. When and for what purpose, and in what country did this take place is the question that I would like to know the answer for, Most likely though we will be unabl…

(Quote) Possibly, but if this was the case why not still include on the press sheet that a one sheet was available?

Thanks for the images Ves,They were very much appreciated. The Force of Destiny one sheet was the unconfirmed title that I had mentioned earlier. How rare are these posters? I put the posters rarity down to all five being from very minor independent…

I have just come across a list of the top 50 Australian films of all time that was published in The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age Australian newspapers on April 29, 2026, being only three days ago. The list was selected by 24 experts, including …

I do understand you being unable to reveal the finished Australian one sheet image artwork, as it does appear you have been instructed by the owner not to do so. Why then though would the owner of the poster not want to share it with the general pub…

What links the above two posters together is that the lead actor John Meillon has his name credited incorrectly on both posters as being that of John Meillen instead. -
Seeing that it would appear that the images have stumped everyone, some clues are then required,
Both films are from the 1970s that feature some very well known horror actors, -

(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.
