Re: Hondo's Daybill and One Sheet Q&A [Re-Titled]
The above RKO Radio Pictures Australian daybill and one sheet of 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea (1954) is one of the earliest examples of a CinemaScope credit appearing on an Australian poster. The film was released in Sydney Australia on December 15, 1955.

Re: Hondo's This And That
They're great poster images, but had absolutely no idea where the original images came from.

Of the so far included list of forty missing film titles, six daybill images have now surfaced, As well Sven kindly sent us another missing daybill image of a title that I had not yet listed here. I do intend continuing with this project in the hope that some more daybill images will surface

Re: Missing Australian daybill posters of the 1950s.
(Movie Posters Australia)Just located this daybill image of Riot In Juvenile Prison that I had previously listed on Augus 20 as being unsighted. Interestingly considering the content of the film it is surprising to me that it only received a classification of for general exhibition.

Re: Hondo's Daybill and One Sheet Q&A [Re-Titled]
Thanks Peter for your thoughts. I don't know the answer, but my thinking is that the heads to be at M-G-M Australian knew that many Australian cinemas hadn't yet converted to Cinemascope projection, so to distribute their posters to non cinemascope equipted theatres the word cinemascope was left off the posters. In the early days of widescreen adaption during the 1950's Cinemascope films were also released in alternative anamorphic standard 4.3 shot academy format versions to accommodate the theatres that had not yet upgraded their equipment to be able to screen cinemascope films.'dedeposter said:Perhaps the Cinemascope credit was meant to be contractual and the local artists weren't aware of it? Hence the snipes.
