Country Town (1971). Two slightly different printed versions of the same design.
The film was originally shot on 16mm, but later upgraded to 35mm. Country Town was originally first released by the producers themselves in Australia during the middle of 1971 in country areas.
The above daybill on the left hand side is without any distributor or printer credits, and has a blank area included on the bottom space for the screening venue /date to be included there. These inclusions, along with the pre November 1971 censorship wording of General Exhibition would surely then date this poster as being the original printed daybill that was produced for the 1971 release.
Probably due to the film proving to be popular at the box office the film was later picked up for commercial screenings by BEF. who then had the film classified G on 35mm on 1 October 1972.
The other above daybill on the above right hand side would have to be a second version printed for BEF, and includes the post November 1971 G raring in diamond film classification rating presentation.
Adam's Woman (1970) was an Australian U.S.A. co-production. Rare Australian posters follow below featuring images of a daybill, one sheet and lastly what should be a three sheet. The film was released in Australia in 1970.
I have always thought that Adam's Woman had never received a commercial U.S.A. cinema release, which I considered odd seeing it's multi-million dollar budget. My thinking was based on every U.S. printed poster I have ever sighted has the word international printed on them. Bruce has 12 posters of the film listed as being sold in the past with all bring International credited.
Recently I contacted Matt at Emovieposters.com to see if he could assist. He then sent me the following reply.
''I found a1971 newspaper article promoting Pan-Ams in-flight movies which included Adam's Woman I also found an article for a single military-base theatre in New Hampshire that was showing it in 1971. It started to be shown on television in 1972. I am guessing that it never had a national release in the U.S.''
I am very thankful for Matt assisting me and backing up my thinking that Adam's Woman never did receive a national American theatrical release there.
Interestingly IMDB list it as having a U.S. release in June 1972. This being the year it started playing on television there.
A rare Australian daybill poster image of Barney (1976). This being the only Australian poster size that I have located. Included above is also an Australian newspaper advertisement that was used during the original release.
