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… -

The daybill I have is 13" x 30" and it has been used with pinholes, etc. The censor stamp is interesting. It seems to be a little smudged around the circle but its hard to tell whether it might have been added later and it seems to in the exact same…

(Quote) The daybill surely must be 1970s. The M rating is a mystery.

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…

The Lion logo appears to have been used right up to the early 80s. This one from 1982 ....

(Quote) Over the years, I have spoken to various people who have worked for Burton, Smith and other printers. There were general guidelines for the artists to follow but it was not rigidly adhered to. You only have to look at the many errors …

Just noticed a big error in this daybill...

That one came up at a Leonard Joel auction some years ago. Quite a lot of damage and would cost a heck of a lot to linen back.

(Quote) I agree with Vesna 100%.
I have been offered framed posters many times over the years and always ask to see the poster out of the frame before considering the purchase. The owners of the posters are nearly always shocked a… -
Fantastic posters!

(Quote) I dont know how much it sold for but there was quite a large selection of original posters in that auction.

(Quote) The poster was sold in the Pickles Auction Sept 1983 as part of the Michael Pate collection.

That daybill came from the Pickles auction that Lawrence has often referred to.
