O.k. as no one has been able to answer my original question of ''what is different and out of place with the artwork?'', I will express my thoughts.The United Artists logo appearing on the press sheet would have been the one used on the original 1964 release Australian press sheet. The above press sheet was circulated for the post 1971 re-release of ''From Russia With Love'' and the original ''not suitable for children'' censorship rating was changed to ''NRC'', but the original United Artists logo wasn't replaced by this logo format, that was normally applied to Australian press sheets in the 1970's. This logo presentation was different from Australian daybills, one sheets and 3 sheet posters, that would have had in the 1970's either or appearing on them instead.Both styles were used in the 1970's on film posters.
Hey all, this is quite an old thread now, but I have just had the opportunity to read it and may have something to add, or at least pose as another question?
It looks like NZ at least received US 1 Sheets, Style B's, for their original release (example below with NZ rating sticker):
John and I have had a discussion about how many movies may have had US 1Sh's shipped to Australia for their initial release, as some have been seen over time, and what the criteria may have been for studios/distributors to make a decision like that? But that question aside for a minute...
It makes me wonder, is it possible that Australia also used the US 1 Sheet Style B's for advance and initial release? The US Style B's didn't have a ratings stamp either.
So, I pose the question to any long-time dealers (John?), and anyone that may have purchased collections from a cinema/owner, how many US 1 Sheet Style B's may have been seen in Australian collections over time?
Is it possible, or even probable, that US 1 Sheets Style B's were distributed and used here, maybe without a rating stamp, for the initial release?

Big difference in the quality of the artwork.
