Dating Gone With The Wind One Sheet

David

Any ideas?

Printed by ?

Looks like an early 40s Re-issue. Just a guess though.. Although the blank area at the top would suggest a pre 1940 poster

Printed by Hacket

Rick

Great poster, is it yours?

Hackett printed the original daybill so my guess would be original release 1940.

John

One of the original US title lobby cards has similar writing - no artwork at all. Hondo might have more information about Hackett printers.

Hackett Offset Printing Co. appeared to have ceased printing film posters around 1941.

Yes I have seen that one too John (the Jumbo card and also the Window Card?), there were some Teaser type posters out at the time and the re-release posters used the 'everybody wants to see' bi-line.

I thought the fact it didn't say re-release but that's clutching at straws as we know that wasn't always the case.

I have no idea. 

I was going to throw it in the bin...

John

Just send it up to me. I'll look after it!

David

Meh, it's rubbish, not worth the cost of postage John.

The blank section was printed on the top of long daybills but this is the first time as far as I remember having seen a blank section on top of an Australian one sheet.

Good chance it might be, David. The blank area at top would suggest first release.
