Nice to see what I'm assuming to be a US 24 Sheet displayed next to an Australian one? Or possibly just a modified Australian one, seeing how the portraits are of similar quality.

I think the term herald sounds a bit dated and most casual buyers of post 70s titles wouldn't know what that term meant.Star Trek the Motion Picture is another with & without credits daybill.
