Re: Hondo's This And That
Dutch cinemas also used British and American posters, so obviously a variety from English speaking countries.

Re: Hondo's Daybill and One Sheet Q&A [Re-Titled]
I have images of around 4,700 Australian daybill posters. The majority of the images are from films released by the following major Australian film distributors,
BEF
Columbia
MGM
Paramount
RKO Radio
20th Century Fox
United Artists
Universal
Warner Brothers
Anyone care to guess which distributor has by far the more missing unsighted daybill images?

Re: The Science Fiction Quiz
Never heard of it either, but sounds interesting, the sort of stuff I could easily watch.

Re: The Science Fiction Quiz
You are correct. Yes it is indeed interesting to view these vintage films today and to see how they guessed what the future world would look like.dedeposter said:Is 252 Things To Come (1936)? It's quaint seeing how the future was imagined in these old films.

Some added information is that Australian film posters are known to have also been sent to two countries in Asia, one country in Africa, and some other countries in the Oceania region, apart from to New Zealand.HONDO said:Any thoughts on where, apart from Australia and New Zealand that Australian film posters were used in film advertising in other foreign countries?

Boy are early Australian press sheets from especially the 1930s and the 1940s hard to come by.
