To Sir With Love

HONDO

Recently noticed there are two versions of the To Sir With Love ( 1967 ) daybill.The film was released in Australia in early 1968. Curious as to your thoughts on why and which one came first?

There are two versions of one sheet as well, completely different though.

Only difference I can see in the daybills is the quality of the artwork seems better on the first one, so am guessing that came first.

One of the girls is in blue on the second one and the Columbia logo is also bigger.

I have seen only one Australian one sheet from the original release so would you mind posting images of the two one sheets please?

This is not mine and I have no idea about printer information or better pics, but just saw it once and grabbed a copy of it. 

Maybe the blue is a RR?

Maybe it is then maybe it is not. Love to hear what any others think. Thanks for posting the two images Ves.

Different variation of the same poster

HONDO

Sorry David but what is the different variation between your posted image and the one Ves posted? I'm not seeing it so please let me know what I am looking for?

1. Censor (style)
2. Printer's details seem to be totaly missing on the EMP one

Hey lawrence,  the ratings snipe right of "Poitier"

I wish to ensure everyone my eyesight is O.K. I ended up comparing David's image to one of Bruce's I had and not Ves's thinking they were the same which they weren't of course. Thanks David and Sven for getting me back on the right track. I will enter my findings shortly.

My findings are that the blue Royelltone Prints Pty Ltd one sheet is from the original late 1960s first Australian release. Royelletone only printed daybill and one sheets mainly for 20th Century Fox starting in the  mid 1960s to 1969. The second blue one sheet would be a second printing by an unknown printer using the original design but changing the new Not Suitable For Children style used in the late 1960s on the poster. The original To Sir With Love Robert Burton daybill is the first daybill above which has better artwork. Now this leaves the second Robert Burton daybill and the unknown and most likely Robert Burton printed one sheet also. My feeling is as there was a re-release of a Sidney Poitier double of To Sir, With Love and Guess Who's Coming To Dinner? in 1972 the daybill and one sheet were printed for this re-release. As Royelltone had ceased printing film posters a few years before Robert Burton who had by this time had a great hand in the printing film posters along with M.A.P.S.
