Aussie horizontals

Mark

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

Good topic, Mark! Is it limited to Aussie 1 sheets, as the Dementia 13 daybill immediately springs to mind.

Any type of horizontal, I reckon. I think there was a similar thread a long time ago, but I couldn't find it anymore.

It's included in Hondo's This And That thread.

i am curious about the country of origin of the above 1980 Herbie Goes Bananas poster. Is it identified as being Australian due to the cited 29 x 40 size only? Is this size been confirmed? 

What concerns me is that both the regular distributed Australian one sheet and the daybill versions have an Australian GU ( Greater Union ) distributor credit and the Australian G  censorship rating printed on them.

I find it interesting that a 1980 printed poster hasn't appeared in a one sheet or horizontal daybill until now. Was this poster, if it was printed in Australian, only printed in limited numbers to be used for a specific promotional purpose only?

Has G in triangle printed on (look left of VW about 6 inches). GU circular logo is in fold at left just above "Starring". I thought the G might be stamped, so I measured the distance to border on both sides. It's definitely printed and an Aussie poster. Checked the press sheet and no mention of banana-fy promotion. Never seen another Aussie poster like this, which is why I posted!
Bruce will love below - a folded, horizontal US daybill displayed in an Aussie cinema. 14 x 29 inches.

On the Herbie Goes Bananas poster it is near impossible to see the G rating on enlarging the image, but I can just recognize what would be the GU logo. Thanks for confirming that the poster is of Australian origin. It is a real pity not knowing more about the poster itself.

With the Flashdance poster I am curious Mark as to why you are calling the poster a US daybill. Is it just because of the size of the poster? 

Mark

Both of those posters came from a small cinema in country Victoria. I have 2 x Flashdance, each with signs of being displayed. No sign Herbie Bananas was displayed. There are Herbie Bananas daybills with pinholes etc, so the regular posters were up. Probably remain a mystery on Banana-fy ...
