Waterloo Bridge Australian Poster Release Dates.
Original 1940 daybill
1944 RR
1948 RR
1954 RR
1962 RR at multiple venues.
1970's RR
Unknown poster date. What is unusual about this poster is that it has a Suitable Only For Adults censorship rating printed on it. The rating should have been either Not Suitable For General Exhibition, Not Suitable For Children or NRC. Also Robert Taylor is billed over Vivien Leigh and no mention is made of the distributor MGM, so very odd.

Two rare images of an Australian Waterloo Bridge Australian one sheet design, and the only examples of this title that I can recollect ever seeing. The first image has to have been printed for the original Australian release.Thanks to Ves for allerting me to the other limited colour poster. What is most interesting about this poster is that due to the Australian censorship rating the poster has to be pre 1949, but when?
The tagline HER ------- PICTURE SINCE GONE WITH THE WIND is intriguing. I cannot make out the printer's credit that may oy may not have assisted in helping to identify the date of when this poster may have been printed.
There are three options to consider here. A 1940 early second printing follow up poster, a 1944 second release version, or perhaps it was printed for the 1948 third release? Due to the removal of the word first I believe we can rule out a 1940 early follow up printing and leave the date to be either 1944 of 1948. Any thoughts?
