Best Of

i appreciate the comments received from Bruce, Mark and Dave regarding '' warehouse finds'', .and I will respond shortly with some more thoughts on this subject. 

The large number of The Freedom Riders daybill I do find interesting and I will express my opinion  regarding ,this poster as it is certainly a bit of a mystery.

These "warehouse finds" are sometimes of very old posters as well  - There's a glut of copies of 1930's 1 sheets for the serials King of the Wild and Phantom of the West out there, in top condition too. These are U.S. 1 sheets. In daybills there was a job lot (dozens) of the Australian film Clara Gibbings that sold at auction a couple of years ago.

Where did these all come from?

 A "warehouse find". If the price keeps dipping, we will discontinue it as an individual item. But as long as the girl keeps skinny dipping, the price may not keep dipping!

Where did these all come from?

First horizontal Aussie one sheet I can recall seeing (29 x 40). Once cut, perhaps they become new horizontal daybills???

On this current topic how about the following.

 

Creature From The Black Lagoon ( 1954 ). Revenge Of The Creature ( 1954) and The Creature Walks Among Us ( 1956) Australian  daybills.

On Bruce's website there are 3 images of Creature From The Black Lagoon,  4 of Revenge Of The Creature, and 28  of The Creature Walks Among Us. The first two titles have always been in short supply. Apart from Bruce;s 28 the final version turns up for sale on Google from time to time. In the 1990's at the Sydney's Leichhard weekend fairs, seller Col Porter had a considerable supply of this poster. I believe he had worked for Universal, thus explaining his access to this poster. Why not then the other two as well?

It certainly would be interesting to know why so many The Creature Walks Among Us daybills exist today.

 

An Australian cinema's newspaper advertisement that cleverly ads the original Monkey Business title.

Thanks for sharing. It certainly makes one wonder how many mainly unseen to the general public daybills are residing with private collectors, and will remain not normally shared on the internet.?.

I think the only Martin and Lewis I haven't seen is My Friend Irma...what's the other one?

Money From Home ( 1954 ). I have searched high and low, including your website's Jerry Lewis collection, but for no results.

If you happen to have a Money From Home daybiill that isn't on your website yet I would love to see it.

I dont have it, but a collector shared an image with me a while back...let me dig it out

For those interested the three missing 1950's Marilyn Monroe titles are Love Nest, We're Not Married and Monkey Business ( released in Australia as Be Your Age ).

The Fireball ( 1950 ) is a rare daybill that had MM appearing in a small role in the film.

I thought I would include it here for anyone that may be unaware of this fact and would like to see the daybill
