Are any Mutiny of the Bounty posters in any collectors' collections you know of?

Not that I am aware of. These two posters seem to exist soley at the NFSA.

NSFA did a series of commercial prints for a handful of these rare posters.  They are tiny....I have one for this version of The Bounty and one for The Kid Stakes.

Apparently this occurred many years ago, along with some other titles as well.

 ( Everyones May 26, 1937 edition  / Trove )

Tall Timbers ( 1937) original Australian daybill and 24 sheet reproduction poster. 


 

Tall Timbers 1953 Australian re-release daybill and one sheet posters. A more superior artwork presentation was applied to the one sheet by the printer  F. Cunninghame. than they did with the daybill.

It appears that the re-release one sheet was adapted from the original 1937 one sheet artwork. The re-release daybill though is interesting in that the actors original credits are completely switched around in their order of presentation 

 (Everyones /Trove) 

Titled Big Timber in a  pre-release 1935 advertisement.

 (NFSA)

A hand drawn daybill image of Tall Timbers with hand written words on the poster artist of ''Frank Tyker'' and ''Rough for daybill'' appearing on the bottom of the image.

I wonder if this design was scrapped all together, or if a second daybill was produced with this design, or possibility a variation of it also printed as an alternative design. My thinking behind this is because BEF over many decades did produce two different versions of some of their films, including Eureka Stockade and The Overlanders,

Great looking posters. Thanks for sharing.

The original Tall Timbers certainly beats the re-issue.

The hand drawn version certainly appears to complement the title of the film better as it surely makes the film more interesting

The Silence Of Dean Mailland 1934 sound film version has been covered here in the past by me in January 2024.

Prior to this version being released there was an earlier silent film version of The Silence Of Dean Maitland released in 1914. Unlike the later released 1934 film version where images showing what numerous film poster sizes look like are available to view, this is not the case with the 1914 release.  

The following daybill poster image is extremely rare and the only located poster image known to me to exist for this film's release. The film itself  isn't known to exist today.

thanks for another rarity.

 another film rarity this time from 1923 with a number of poster images including a colour Australian one sheet.

The Dinkum Bloke (1923). For a 102 year old film it's surprising that so much advertising still exists today, particularly a rare Australian one sheet. Top marks indeed must go to the NFSA for having the images of the posters made available to be viewed on their website..

Great stuff!

Walk Into Paradise (1956) rare posters follow below, displaying an Australian daybill, one sheet and four lobby cards 


 (John)  (NSFA)

   (NFSA)

This film was released in the U.S.A. as being Walk Into Hell. Posters for this title are very plentiful in the marketplace as seen on Bruce's website.

 A typical American title change and an exploitive poster presentation that was often the case when overseas films were released in the U.S.A.  From Paradise to Hell a big call.

Big title change indeed!

Two very rare Australian lobby cards. appear above.


The above very rare  poster image is sourced from the NFSA website where it is interestingly credited as being a mock up daybill poster.

Thanks for showing the posters. Love the day bills!! There is a poster flyer version on eBay...

The Wikipedia page for this film is hilarious. Check it out.

Australian cricketer Don Bradman appears as himself in a cameo during the film.It has been described as a "fiasco"

Here is the Herald ...

"The Flying Doctor" supported by "She Had To Eat". Perhaps he was treating eating disorders?

 The image of Charles Farrell that was used on the the mock up daybill? poster, and the very similar image that ended up on the Australian flyer.

Bruce

So many images I have never seen before! Thanks much

A rare Australian  daybill and press sheet for a little known Australian film titled  Minnamurra from 1989.

The film is set in the Australian outback at the turn of the 20th century. IMDb said ''the plot appears to have been inspired by The Squatter's Daughter (1933). David Stratton called it almost The Man From Snowy Rive III in terms of plot and character.''

 
The film was also released outside of Australia promoting the film as being a western with the alternative titles being Wrangler and also Outback.

I vaguely remember the title of that film.

Rick

i have no memory of Wrangler/Outback.

Coming soon some rare advertising material for two connected films. One from 1912 and the other from 1930.

Can't wait!
