Re: Hondo's Daybill and One Sheet Q&A [Re-Titled]
These spelling anomalies were very common. They used the American version of English many times with movies that were produced in the US and shown in Australia. It really is beyond me why it was felt that the English language needed to be changed with so many words but it is what it is.HONDO said:I'll leave it to someone else to comment on the above statement.darolo said:The printer may not have had access to artwork or ad blocks but they surely could access a dictionary - color has a u added to it in our world.
There are literally hundreds of words that have been changed. Colour - Color, Favourite - Favorite, Apologise - Apologize, etc etc. I think it's pretty bizarre that you have to choose whether you want to use Traditional English or American English on computers these days and even more annoying when spellcheck tries to tell me that the English version is not correct.

Re: Missing Australian daybill posters of the 1950s.
All good ones to view, especially Black Tuesday, one of the best crime films of the 50s.

This is trimmed but still a nice poster, sticking close to the US original.

Re: Hondo's This And That
I'd be surprised if there aren't a bunch of daybills from the 80s and 90s of Australian films with product placement. Especially some Tony Ginnane or John Lamond features.
