I would have thought earlier from the abbreviated text, but perhaps they weren't consistent. What is your source?
Apparently Associated British Pathe liked chickens so much they used one for their logo!
A lot brighter poster than the US paper.
My source is from the annual film industry publication ''The Film Weekly Motion Picture Yearbook 1962-63''. The film title appears under the section titled '' One year's releases'' for the financial year 1961-1962, which lists all feature length features released in Sydney during this period of time. Around this time Warner Bros. were releasing the Associated British Pathe product in Australia and there was a backlog of product awaiting release dates here. My thoughts are that the ABP films in most cases weren't potential box office prospects and the content was mainly old fashioned so suitable cinemas to screen them at were few and they were placed in a queue to await release. A good deal of the pending ABP releases took a year to be released and there were a number along with School For Scoundrels that were around the two year mark. Another example of a delayed ABP release here was the Jane Mansfield film Too Hot To Handle from 1960 which had to wait until 1962 to be released. The School For Scoundrels daybill was most likely printed well before the delayed Australian release and this would tie in with why you to think an earlier release.
And in the spirit of Halloween, I snagged this 1983 22x34 from Bruce (EMP). I know its not a movie poster, but what the 'hey' -- I figure someone here will appreciate it.
Pretty excited about this pick-up, this (exact same) poster sold in July for almost twice what I just won it for, so that's bonus #1...
Bonus #2 is that it closes the loop for the first three in the series (starring George Sanders as Gay 'The Falcon' Lawrence). Of course all posters in this series are hard to come by (hell all posters you want are hard to come by) but the first three are like the proverbial...

Do you mean the very same poster? Or the same title and size?

Based on the image it is the actual (same) poster. Once can only assume either the buyer simply reconsigned it, the buyer never paid for it so it was re-auctioned the latter I am sure a not so an uncommon experience for auctioneers.
