Re: All Things Film Censorship Related in Australia
Both the Australian daybill and the one sheet are impressive, as is the U.K.quad image that I posted earleir.

Re: All Things Film Censorship Related in Australia
One of the highlights of my collection is the daybill, it’s very striking. Must get it up on a wall.

Thank you so much Hondo for checking out the video. The second edition should be up hopefully this weekend. I hope you like it as well. It’s very kind of you to leave me a note. Cheers!

Re: Missing Australian daybill posters of the 1950s.
Proof that the following Bitter Springs (1950) Australian daybill wasn't, as often claimed to be, printed for the original 1950 Australian release follows below.
The above version isn't a full colour W.E. Smith printed design by the confirmed poster artist Aub Mosely. Next it doesn't have the Released in Australia by Eagle Lion. Distributed by B.E.F. credit that was in place on some product at that time. Examples of this appearing on Bitter Springs advertising follow below.
(Trove/ NLA)
Some other examples of the Eagle Lion/BEF Australian distribution details in place around that period of time follow with details appearing on Golden Salamander and Morning Departure daybills.
To sum up the below poster version in question printed by F. Cunninghame is a later 1950's printed second printing.

Re: Rare Australian Posters Of Australian Films
The next film to include here is Journey Among Women from 1977.
Australian daybill and one sheet.
Seven Australian lobby card images appear above,. For the record there is one other sighted card that I am unable to include the image of here. This card has the same image that appears on the Australian daybill and the one sheet as it appears above.

Re: The Science Fiction Quiz
You certainly know your vehicles. Yes 256 is indeed the 1956 version of 1984, and well done.jayn_j said:I found it interesting is that the helicopter is a Bell 47 with a modified bubble for the film. Same helicopter used in M*A*S*H (and Korean war)
And the other one is from the 1956 version of 1984. The motorcycles are Vincent Black Shadows.
This version had two completely different endings when originally screened in the UK and the USA. I have seen both versions, with one sticking to the original George Orwell book, with the other version completely changed.
