Face To Face Oddity.

HONDO

What was unusual about the Australian release of this film? Does anyone know?

I don't... Google may...

Are you implying that they were basically two different short films?

HONDO

A full length feature comprising of two separate stories. An unusual thing happened with it's release in Australia.

RKO apparently decided to release the film not only as a full length feature in the U.S. but also as two separate  45 minute films as well. If you have a look under Face To Face on Bruce's site you will find paper on Face To Face as well as The Secret Sharer and The Bride Comes To Yellow Sky.

In Australia The Secret Sharer & The Bride Comes To Yellow Sky were released as two supports to Androcles And The Lion & Blackbeard The Pirate in Sydney. In Brisbane suburbs the full length Face To Face was released. It seems that it depended on where you lived in Australia to which versions were screened.
