Lonely Hearts was my first film as an assistant editor. Hoyts distributed it so it's possible that between them and Adams/Packer (who were also producers of it), they might not have agreed to let Paul have that "A FILM BY PAUL COX" credit. Of course, it may have just been an oversight. I think John B. Murray and Paul would have had a hand in designing the poster. Alex Stitt did the artwork for it.
Paul had all the one sheets stored in his office in Albert Park for all his films. My First Wife, Man of Flowers, Vincent, etc. I'm pretty sure they would have been the last stash of posters that existed, his films had limited distribution so I think he looked after a lot of that. I visited him quite a while after I'd finished working with him and grabbed a bunch of posters of each film. He wouldn't sign them though! The building where he worked has recently been demolished, so I don't know what happened to the rest of the posters, probably thrown out after his death unfortunately. He was a lovely man.
Do you perchance have posters then from the bunch that you obtained from Paul for any of the nine films of his that haven't had one sheet images included here. The missing one sheets titles are as follows.
IlluminatIons Inside Looking Out (Have special poster only) Kostas (Have special poster only) The Nun And The Bandit Exile Lust And Revenge Molokai The Story Of Father Damien Innocence The Diaries Of Veslav Nijinsky
There were also numerous short films that he had made that may not have had posters produced for them, along with a number of feature length documentary films that possibly may have had posters printed for them.
