The Lost Weekend
Style A. Note the censorship rating overprint happened at the time of printing and not later on.
The Australian pressbook shows two styles in A and B. Style A is rare and an image and the only one I have sighted but where is style B which apparently to my knowledge has never had an image displayed on the internet or been advertised for sale or auction. Has anyone ever sighted style B ?

A fuller censorship rating classification on the poster here than was displayed on the previosly seen image above that was sold by Bruce.
The ''Suitable Only For Adults'' censorship rating on Bruce's copy appears not to be a last minute alteration on having the rating being changed. If one one looks closely at the style 'A' daybill image on the above Austtralian pressbook the image of the daybill has a large amount of writing on the book that was altered on the daybill to show the film's title and a few other credits. There also appears under the book image on the bottom section of the poster an unknown hightlighted section. When the Richardson daybill was finalised this apparently unwanted section was covered over with the censorship rating, although not entirely successfully though.
As the Heritage poster wasn't restored it is interesting to compare the two censorship ratings. As these two rare daybill images are the only ones that I can seem to locate, it would be interesting to see another copy to compare.
