Image # 25. Name the film title. For a change a non Australian poster image. The poster where this image was taken off is from a European country. I wouldn't have guessed this one myself so good luck.
Great movie & nice image! But the confusing part is if one isn't completely familiar with the Daybill portion-that would be myself-my brain looks at those airplanes & thinks jets, and post-world war 2, Korean War...
I thought the type of airplanes appearing in image 24 would have helped identify the period of the Korean War and the above U.S. insert is similar in design so I thought eventually someone would correctly answer the question and thankfully it happened. Thanks for your interest Mark and of course for Ves for working out the answer.
Image # 25 is correct Mark. The Colditz Story Belgian poster is indeed a great one. I enjoy thinking up clues that immediately don't present the answer. By the way for a split second when I first spotted the poster The Great Escape sprang to mind.

Yes, the U.S. insert is very close to the Daybill, but as I was perusing the different images on EMP, I noticed it seemed like many of the images, even on non-US/Aussie posters, the planes did not have any props, and Flying Leathernecks is set during WWII... So much of the paper on the movie it seems shows a "jet-like" airplane.
I was probably thinking of One Minute To Zero another RKO film released in 1952 when I mentioned the Korean War. I probably picked up on the Korean War when you mentioned it earlier and I was thinking Korean War as it was happening around that time. Just as well I hadn't given it as a clue earlier but hopefully I wouldn't have as I usually check facts before I comment.
Good one Mark. It is indeed Operation Amsterdam ( 1959 ). Not one of the better daybill designs from Robert Burton. The image picture image reminds me of Paul Newman and I have seen better Eva Bartok.

Image # 28. The Malta Story from 1954 is the answer. Image taken off a Danish poster. It should not have been hard to work out if anyone had been interested as the clues were there.

A forum member has this daybill.
# 24 is from an RKO Radio film.
# 25 is from a British film.
I have been mentioned elsewhere.
Yes it is Flying Leathernecks from 1951.

Correct.
Image # 26. Diamonds is the clue.
Yep, I definitely see Newman in that likeness
Final clue is that the name of the country is included in the film's title.
