Due to the huge popularity of Sidney Poiter in the late 1960's the film was re-released in Australia, commencing in Sydney at the Liberty Theatre in 1968 as a Sidney Poitier double of Edge Of The City and Blackboard Jungle.
Following the Sydney release it had limited screenings over the next few years in Australia booked as a supporting film.

I have never sighted an Australian one sheet of A Man Is Ten Feet Tall, and currently I cannot locate one.
A busy last couple of months with a trip to Lake Como and just prepping for Tokyo. However, I did find time to add another 30 or so to my permanent pre-war collection.
US One Sheet pairs for the 1927 Monty Banks production 'Play Safe' and 1928 'Companionate Marriage'.
