Dating the Thousands Cheer Australian One sheet

Hi all, hope someone can shed some light here...Attached is a re-issue 'stock' poster for the MGM 1943 musical Thousands Cheer. I cannot find it on the usual Auction sites so the question I have is, what year or ira is this from? I see no printers name so it was probably licensed out to someone else by the printer who had the rights. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Without a printer's name, or any other details that may have assisted it is impossible to date the exact time when this poster was printed.

The best one could come up with is that there was a national re-release in Australia in 1950, so it most likely could have been printed for this release.

Some other possibilities for the poster though are a nationa[ re-release of the film as part of an MGM film festival in 1954. There is always a possibility though that the poster was a late 1940's second printing.

I would say crediting this poster as a 1950's re-releases is the way to go.

Thanks Hondo and John for commenting, I agree with your advice.
