    Final clues for the six unsolved images.

    # 67. A semi-autobiographical project by the director of this film.

    # 69. An Australian actor appears in the film as well as starring in the Australian film depicted in image # 73.

    # 70. The British War Department were to supply the production with tanks but was axed because of the Suez affair. 

    # 72. Rommel. Based on a true story.

    # 73. An Australian actor's first starring role.

    # 75. Australian actor at the beginning of his prolific American acting period. 

  • Ves is correct with the # 74 answer. The Lighthorsemen from 1987 it is.
  • Busy today but will do some digging tomorrow for the outstanding ones.
  •  Image # 76. Name the film title. An Australian film with the image taken off an Australian daybill.
  • edited April 2016

    Top image # 77. An Australian film with image from a U.S. poster.

    Image just above # 78. An American film featuring Australians at war. From an Australian daybill almost the same as the U. S. 3 sheet poster but minus a few planes, building. tank,etc on the right hand side. 

    Name the film titles.

  • 77 - The Rats of Tobruk 1944

    78 - Desert Rats 1953

  •                                        Image # 79.  The last of seven images featuring Australians at war presented on this thread. From a Czech film poster produced for a famous Australian film. Name the film title. It would be great if the six remaining unidentified images can be answered by ANZAC Day being held on the 25th of this month.

    Foxhole in Cairo
  • edited April 2016

     The wording on this Australian daybill doesn't seem to appear on the U.K. and U.S. posters.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    # 69 is The Secret Of Blood Island ( 1964 )     

                                                                                                                                                                                                  #                                 # 70 is Steel Bayonet ( 1957 )

    # 72 is Foxhole In Cairo ( 1960 )

    and all again answered correctly by Ves.

    Only found an image today of the rare Australian daybill of Steel Bayonet.


  • Leaving only # 73 and # 75 to receive answers for. Two famous Australian actors. one who worked in the U.K and the other in the U.S.A, appear in each of the two films in question.
  • HONDO said:
     Image # 75. Name the film title. An American made World War 11 film with a connection to Australia. Image taken off a U.S. insert which is similar to the Australian daybill.


    El Alamein...found it last night but for some reason thought it had been answered.

    73 is proving difficult...another clue?

  • 73 is proving difficult...another clue?

    Clues are proving difficult . The images from a British quad from the first release in the U.K. is the only thing I could come up with. The film isn't British though. The British quota reference would be because the film originated from a member of the British Commonwealth with this being Australia.
  • # 75 answered correctly by Ves is indeed El Alamein from 1953.
