Ad for Doctor X with Fay Wray. No Aussie paper sighted that I know of.
I think there is also a smaller version of that poster. All are hard to find.
Immunised is correct for Brit / Aust spelling. We rarely use Z.What a daybill may look like >>
I once saw a study for a 1950s daybill done in about quarter size. Makes me think they simply traced the images from press books and then used an enlarging tool to scale them up once the design was approved. Along the way the accuracy got lost.These I remember roughly due to short printing time:
A&C (1959 - 1962) Warner Bros
Royaltone (1967 - 1968) 20th Century Fox
I think it can be achieved reasonably quickly if everyone helps with the research. First you would have to generate a list of Australian printers e.g.
W.E. Smith
Hackett Offset
Marchant
Simmons Ltd
W.F. Schey
Adv…I must have seen Malcolm on JR's site. Otherwise I would have emailed you, Ves. Only one I've seen in that style.
Think I saw that Malcolm on ebay a while ago, if that's where you bought it.
Spellbound sticks in my memory as a large ratings one sheet. Rear Window is pretty big too.I could be imagining it, but the ratings advice always appears overly large on Hitchcock one sheets.
Great OKC to own and very unique, Ves!Try making a complaint to ebay. There is no facility and you will be re-routed back to the website at every turn.
Come to think of it, I feel a bit re-routed after dealing with them!(Quote) These must be some of the earliest I've seen by W.E. Smith. Nice with John Richardson signatures.(Quote) And little or no action, which shows you the attitude that has crept in over time. Big organisation - bad culture.Notice the title now influenced by Star Wars space crawl style logo.My combined Int'l shipping was fixed about a year ago.
Taking 10% of postage means everyone loses on shipping.R is printed. I didn't realise there were two versions until recently. I actually sold the other as orig release in the past.I had the same with China shipping.
Previously I lost the zoom feature on photos and that took 6 months to fix.
Combined shipping for international was disabled for ages and there was a lot of BS from ebay about that.
I couldn't get…If you look closely there is an X just next to R rating. Doesn't appear on the re-release daybill though.

Appears to have two ratings>>
Got in half hour after email arrived Friday.Great collection!They'll try and fob you off with any old story. What happens is you go in a queue to have your problem fixed. I've had to wait up to six months in the past.
Other large companies are always sending out customer feedback surveys. Not ebay - the…They changed the postage service on about 200 of my listings. Two months later, still nothing done about it. The estimated arrival dates were wrong on many of the items I sold and that can lead to INR claims with no recourse against the automated sy…Don't get me started on ebay. Their customer service and technical help couldn't get any worse. Lies and deception are their stock in trade.

Monolith Monsters is another…Both RKO. You can see them on EMP results.Hell of a nice poster to see in person. Not mine though.
There are two styles of daybill with similar art. I think they are both orig release.
The poster I saw isn't mine (hopefully will be in near future), so I don't have an image to upload atm.
I don't think Burton is right for 1956 Paramount. Should be W.E.Her majesty, queen of movie posters ...Another Columbia serial from the day.
