Two original Can-Can ( 1960 ) Australian daybill posters. I recently spotted another daybill poster version printed in the style of the Frank Sinatra version. This time it featured Juliet Prowse. I didn't keep an image at the time, and now cannot locate it on Google. I am wondering if anyone has the Juliet Prowse daybill image that they would like to share here?

 Were there perhaps some other versions produced as well, particularly one featuring Shirley MacLaine?

  

Here are Shirley Maclaine And Maurice Chevalier featured versions.Is there perhaps also a Louis Jourdan version as well?

Had a quick look on IMDB for this distributor, some interesting titles for sure!

Oh Sally's Shoulders...wonder why they deserved their own movie!

1929 was a big year for RKO releasing FBO silent films in Australia, Three examples of this product follows below. Likelihood of any Australian daybills surfacing  surely would be almost zero, one would have to believe..

Silent films were still being screened in remote area of Australia to small audiences in 1932. Two FBO / RKO TITLES Laddie and Singapore Mutiny, as shown below, advertised to be screened in three remote small town venues in Western Australia in 1932.

Regarding The Jazz Singer. Firstly thanks Peter for the two printer's credit images.



It certainly appears then that the above The Jazz Singer ( 1927 ) image was printed full bleed for the Australian release that commenced in very late 1928.

This daybill must then qualify for the earliest full bleed poster identified at the present time. A big thank you to Ves for bringing it to our attention.

Never too much trouble for you .

The rest of the release details are further along the poster...weird gap in the middle, which I am assuming was a printer error...Laddie has it all together.

Any chance you can check the printer's credit on the Her Father Said No! daybill of me please Vex.

Sorry I didn't get to it last night.  Here you go...its out now so if you need anything else, just let me know.

Thanks for the image and hopefully it wasn't too much of a hassle to get to it. Interesting the ''Released By RKO Pictur'' credit.

Full bleed Jazz Singer from HA

It would appear not to be a true full bleed. Heritage mention this poster was restored on linen and trimmed to the border.

I went back to the HA listing, it says "The linen has been trimmed to the border."  So the linen was trimmed, not the poster....at least that is how I read it

I didn't see it that way, but you may be correct.

Hmm, that's weird because the printer detail is in the artwork area

It is too dark for me to make out. Do you know who the printer is ?
