I shall see what other releases I can dig out.
-
These are for period June 30 46 to July 1 47. -
My limited information on PRC is PRC - Hoyts is listed as a releasing company in the Film Weekly annuals from the time. These annuals also list the titles released for the year, as they do for all the other releasing companies. The PRC films relea…

Bluebeard and Fog Island - two borderline horror films were released here by PRC - Hoyts but it seems none of the others were.
-
Here's a Gunns slide box, the art a bit obscured by the added postage labels.
-
Great 1 sheet, although the images of Hitler on both posters aren't completely on the mark.
-
The posters- I wish. I don't have any PRC ones and have not spied any in 36 years of activity. I do have the list of releases from the late 40s. I don't have the Australian releases from before 46, because I don't have the Film Weekly directory's fr…

Yes. I have the PRC releases from the late 40s, and the ones after, well, I'm less interested in.
-
Hondo - I'm interested in the titles from before 1946 released in Australia.
-
I am sorry to hear that.

This pic might interest a certain member

Fog Island, another P.R.C. horror film was released here in September 1946.

Every thing Trump touches dies (a popular saying). This decay even extends to the movie poster hobby on the other side of the world!
-
The British quad is really superb, which is actually the country of origin poster.
-
The Mystery of Edwin Drood Insert card, a possible indication of what a daybill might look like. -
Julius Caesar looks original to me. It was released again in the 60's with the MGM lion logo common to that period.
-
Most of the 1 sheets at that Pickles Auction were U.S. printed rather than Australian. A heap of them were resold linen backed in London in the late 90's.
-
There were other Greater Movie Seasons daybills from the 20s. I have seen one with the Paramount logo as the main graphic on a blue background and the coffee table book Reel Art has a black and white photo showing various foreign Paramount posters a…

Looks like an Italian poster circa 1950s 0r 60s, the actor - dunno.
-
I had a glass slide that also had 20thFox on it, but it was 20thFox world leadership production - circa 1946/47.
-
Wynne davies art from a Columbia Pictures ad from 1932. -
In the U.S. Davies worked on campaigns such as Forbidden Trail, This Sporting Age and Below the Sea for Columbia.

I'd love to see a book focusing on the vintage poster artists, but too little seems to be known on most of them and barely any posters are signed to make proper attribution.
-
Russ Cochran had some great vintage Tarzan posters. He also had framed an original King Kong 1 sheet
-
I doubt I will waste my money watching the new Mad Max. I watched (with regret) Fury Road - messy, chaotic and unmemorable action scenes with ugly characters with boring dialogue that I couldn't care less what happened to. But that's typical of many…

Here is a photo of a photocopy of the Dawn Patrol daybill. Almost an exact replica of the Insert Card.

A Dawn Patrol daybill does exist and it's the same art and colours as the insert.
-
The artist who did the 30's Warner Brothers posters that Bruce is referring to may well have been Tony Gablik, who did a lot of stylized art with art deco elements. My favourite U.S artists would be Fred Kulz (Universal and Republic) and Glenn Crava…

Bruce - I've bought some things, mainly from you, so you've seen those - ha ha. Most of my purchases of the last few years are lobby cards and probably of much less interest to collectors here.
-
Great discoveryI Walked daybill moves into number one position from this series IMO.
