A comment about the Genevieve daybill just sold. It is a re-release poster where Kenneth More has been promoted from 4th billing to top billing. Poor image likenesses of John Gregson and Dinah Sheridan. Compare the same image on the original W.E.Smith. It had to be the vintage car that was the attraction. Really unbelievable price for this reissue.

Dag nab it...another one I need to keep looking for now!
With the auction just completed it appears there was a two person bidding war happening to be able to get their hands on Genevieve at all cost and it did cost.

I've got what I believe to be the same original release specimen, however mine doesn't have the 'for general admission' red triangle lower left.
For sure. I am also wondering if a wrong censorship rating had been printed on the poster, then was poorly covered up and some of the original light green background also covered with the oddly shaped light yellow section. The section doesn't look too bad with the Australian For General Exhibition rating covering some of it but not so good on the New Zealand version. What do others think ?

I'm currently having the foxing removed followed by linen backing. As for the yellow 'patch', yes rather unsightly, a pitty whoever carried out the cover up didn't take greater effort to match the green.
Then again it appears as if it always had a yellow base then the green wash was loosely applied round the area to be left for the ratings decal (the red would have always looked far more effective on yellow than green).
Good call on the re-release Lawrence - I had no idea there were two
There are actually four.
Will post the other two images when I am able to as maintenance is happening at present on my image hosting website so I am unable to do so.
Actually five! EMP has an example of each on their history page. The one not shown on this thread is actually a hybrid of the original (colour scheme and credit order) and re-release (artwork/portraits lower right). Very puzzling as it was sold as and original release? When it must be later. I can see how some people would think that and not notice the lesser quality portraits.
Was going to post an image but not sure of protocol regarding using someone else's images/property.
I must be seeing things as there are only four versions, not five ( or six as we don't count versions without ratings appearing ). The above version you are referring to is the same as the one I posted previously on the last page. What do others think?

Yeah, I couldn't believe the price on Impossible years...the hunt continues!

Nah, I think the original is nicer...at least that will be two less people bidding against me!
Feast your eyes on these.

Love the movie, adore the poster!
Agree with David...
Whilst we're bringing attention to W.E.Smith's superior work, I just dug out these two.

May be a Bruce ask to pop it on. It sold on:
