Moviola were based in Melbourne with a shop in Little Collins St and Stars Rock and Movie Posters had 4 retail outlets at one stage in Sydney.

(Quote) Yes, there are many reasons why people purchase movie posters.

I believe that the faux painting of Laura was used in two more films - On the Riviera with Danny Kaye where it was shown in colour and Woman's World with Lauren Bacall.
Interestingly, it is not actually a painting but a photo that had oi…LauraThe daybill I have is 13" x 30" and it has been used with pinholes, etc. The censor stamp is interesting.

The M rating is a mystery.(Quote) Here is my copy ....
Well summed up Lawrence and I agree with you. The only thing I am curious about is that the Robert Burton logo at the bottom of one of the daybills is in red while the other two are in blue. Have you done any research into whether there was a colour…(Quote) Very true
