Mainly remembered for his comedy roles rather than the above rare early dramatic film role..I am really surprised that the actor hasn't been recognised.

Some extensive searching has had me only locate one another example. The film is the 1956 U.S.A. film The Man In The Gray Flannel Suit with a word altered from the American spelling of gray to our English spelling of grey.Certainly a rare example of spelling altered for this 1983 film Uncommon Valor / Uncommon Valour,, and the only one that I am so far aware of. Keen to see if any other examples surface.Can you identify who the above featured actor is
(Quote) Patience John. A question for you though is have you ever seen any American made films appearing on Australian posters where the U.S. spelling of the film's title have been changred to our English way of spelling the word?Thank you John for your thoughts. Before I respond, and make any further comments I would really like to hear from any others regarding this topic

Any thoughts about this image? An unexpected role for this actor.As no one has so far commented I will now mention that Audie Murphy only used one pistol in this film, which was his normal practice to do in his western films.in Hondo's Daybill and One Sheet Q&A [Re-Titled] Comment by HONDO September 29

Ray Films during their brief run during the 1950's produced duotone daybill film posters for second printings, re-release and some first release films.
A clue for C688 is sad beginning.A clue for 271 is a long way.(Quote) It certainly is Ride The High Country (aka Guns In The Afternoon), the classic Sam Peckinpah directed western from 1962.
The following features an original Australiab daybill of Drums Across The River (1954),, a U.S.A. original release one sheet, and a
later printed duotone. Australian daybill. Any thoughts regarding the duotone poster?Very interesting, and it would be great to understand the company's logic in the allocating of print run numbers.
I am thinking that with the 1,000 plus poster allocations determined for each of the three films in question, and …(Quote) Correct. Destination Moon being a 1950 released film.

Regarding The Glass Key and Pattern For Murder dayblls, along with the Roses Are Red one sheet. if per chanch any of these three posters has the printed number of printed posters written on the back of the posters it would be great to know this info…It is now time to reveal that the answer for 444 is Tower Of Evil (1972) (aka Horror On Snape Island).
