  • River Beat isn't too bad.

  • It's a thread of monotones and duotone posters, beauty is is the eye of the beholder.

                    If one daybill of this design wasn't enough there is a second version of this design with a rearrangement of where the red and black colours were used on the posters.

    The same artist that did some Elvis one sheets in this style of poster I believe. What happpened to the ''Not'' in the original ''Not Suitable For Children'' censorship rating ?

  • Gunfighters of Abilene 1959

    I'm assuming a 60's re-release? Or could this be another example of a first release duotone? 

  • I recently wrote some information regarding United Artists duotone printed Australian daybill posters from the late 1950's and  into the mid 1960's. If anyone hasn't read this thread titled '' Missing 1950's and 1960's Horror and Sc-fi daybill images'', I recommend that they take a look at it. The above Gunfighters of Abilene falls into this category that I talked about. This film was a 'B' grade film running a brief 66 minutes only, and it wasn't re-released in Australia, leaving this poster without any printer's credits appearing on it, printed sometime during it's release in Australia circa 1960. It was either a second printing or a duotone printed first release poster.  My thinking is that there was possibly another daybill version printed before this one, in some form of colour with a more detailed design and a printer's credit appearing on the poster.

    You gotta stop hoarding posters old man. lol.
  • Thanks Lawrence, yes I had read your earlier information, hence why I thought this could be another example of a duotone first release, along with being unable to find any other Aussie paper for this title.

    Also the US OS weren't that great, so hope that if another daybill exists it would have more appealing artwork.
