Re: War Movies Quiz
Well rested now this thread that is the all time third most viewed quiz here on the forum will resurface in the future. War film fans should be pleased.
It will rotate with the other three current quizzes but with only two quizzes being active at the same time.

Re: Monster A GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show
Yes indeed The Fiend of Dope Island is to me the standout poster image in your latest batch.
Interestingly the actress Tania Velia is billed on the poster as ''and introducing the Yugoslavian bombshell Tania Velia'', She was actually born in Croatia and had previously appeared in two 1958 feature films Mission ToThe Moon and Queen Of Outer Space.
I had viewed Field Of Dope Island many decades ago and from memory I didn't find much merit in the film.

Unless another example is found, it's as close as it can be.
Re: Hondo's Daybill and One Sheet Q&A [Re-Titled]
O.k. my thoughts follow below on the Sherlock Holme daybills printer's missing credits.
Sherlock Holmes was released in Australia in very early 1933. In the early and mid 1930's Fox poster daybills were designed by the Montgomery Campbell Studio and lithographed by W.E.Smith Ltd. Sydney. Montgomery Campbell appears to have produced the Everyones Fox advertisements as well during this period of time.
.
(1933) Released in Australia in November 1933.
(1932) Released in Australia in October 1932.
You will notice that appearing on this particular daybill the Montgomery Campell and the W.E.Smith credits positioning have been reversed on the poster.
(1935) Released in Australia in 1935.
I also have other examples of Fox daybills from the early and Mid 1930's including The Big Trail (1930) which was released in Australia in 1931.
The remaining daybill images I have from 1931 have the following credits presentation on them.
To sum things up the Sherlock Holmes printer's credit that was applied to the daybill is incorrect.
I have presented three versions above of Montgomery Campbell / W.E.Smith daybill credit applications used from 1931 to 1935.
The following version is the most commonly used application so most likely was the version originally printed on the Sherlock Holmes daybill. On saying that no 100% proof of this being the case but I strongly believe it to be the correct.

Re: A Do You Know Your Classic Movies Quiz.
Correct answer and well done,dedeposter said:C631 - Footlight Parade (1933)
My earlier clue of BB was referring to Busby Berkeley who staged and choreographed the musical numbers that appear in the film.

Re: Where Are These Daybills?
Yes the vast majority of PRC films screened in Australia were programmed at the bottom half of a double bill. There were a few exceptions though where some titles were programmed of the top of a double bill. Examples of Bluebeard (Sydney) and The Black Raven (Hobart) appear below.dedeposter said:I assume they would have been double features? The 'very' bottom of the bill?
