Re: Where Are These Daybills?
I am hoping that the original Australian daybill would have resembled either the below U.S.A. insert or 3 sheet.collectahollic said:Indeed Lawrence. I'm hoping that with Errol Flynn being a local talent, more effort would have been put into his daybill design

With the interest shown here on the forum alone. a nice little bidding war would certainly take place if Bruce was to ever auction one.

Re: M-G-M Logos Used On Australian Daybills In The 1960s.
Very truededeposter said:I don't think there was a lot of quality control for Australian posters in those years. Many of them had shoddy artwork so I think logo placement and usage was probably the last thing they were worried about. It's. shame when you compare them with earlier posters from the 30s and 40s which generally are pretty amazing.

Re: M-G-M Logos Used On Australian Daybills In The 1960s.
100% agree with you. I would also include as well as 1930's and 1940's posters some early 1950's posters.dedeposter said:I don't think there was a lot of quality control for Australian posters in those years.

The quality really went on a downhill spiral in the 1950's with the imput of the F. Cunninghame and Robert Burton printers leading the way,

Re: A Do You Know Your Classic Movies Quiz.
Haha! Some places haven't changed, I've never been able to spot Graham Kennedy as an extra in the film though. Apparently he's in a scene in Flinders Street outside the old Classic Restaurant. I once worked with a guy who had the director's chair of Fred Astaire. I'd love to know what happened to it.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Peter. The director's chair would be cool.

Re: Should I linen back an old poster?
If it doesn't need any restoration, I wouldn't get it backed. My two cents
