    I have never seen this one before and in fact it is the first and only daybill that I recollect ever seeing from the Australian theatrical distributor 14th Mandolin who were very active in the 1970's and 1980's. Pancho have you seen any others? Interestingly the film was passed by the censor in 1977 and was rated with only an M rating and again the 14th Mandolin videotape release was again rated only M in 1984.
  • This one was on my buddy's want list for a very long time. Finally turned up at HA last year and he managed to win the auction. Haven't seen another.


  • Now you have :p

  • Can't you guys just be buddies so it can stay as an only known?

  • Ah that one Matt that survived from the UK in a mailing envelope!! 
  • Yup. Only just with two others.
  • My mate had to pay up big time on HA for his copy. I actually wondered at the time if Matt was the underbidder!
    'Nother one sunk ...
  • Wasn't bidding on that one. Didn't see it come up. How much is big time?
  • VF+ $286US. I thought it would go about $30!
  • Bloody hell. I think paid 30 or 35 for mine. Not the best condition.

    One of the others I brought from the seller is also a contender for an only known.

    Halls of Montezuma daybill.

  • Come to think of it, the third poster is another contender.

    Sea of Lost Ships daybill

    I have had at least two of Sea of Lost Ships but haven't seen Halls of Montezuma.

  • As in the case of Hell And High Water, why are so many surviving copies of rare posters that were printed for New Zealand usage and minus the Australian censorship rating, are the ones that more than often surface?

    Dang, you've shot me twice now. Which is to be expected.

    Just how many bullets are left in your gun?

    Both have ratings triangle.

    I stick by my overall statement but in this case I should have had my glasses on. Thanks for pointing out that the rating was there..
  • Great looking Daybills, Matt! Halls/Montezuma is particularly nice! 
  • Not a film poster as such, but a Quad still..



  • this one is from the 1947 re-release....



  • from the same year...



  • This I'm in two minds about, I saw one years back, but it may have just been this copy...



  • Exceptional Paul!

    I love all the Eros re-release quad posters that I have seen to date, including the above three. The Dead That Walk baffled me for a while till I worked out is was a retitled Zombies Of Mora Tau. Eros was a British film distributor that mainly released low budget second features and it appears a lot of re-releases. A question directed to Paul, the king of quads. I have sighted product that Eros re-released from Universal, Warner Brothers, Paramount and Columbia. My question is did Eros re-release any product originating from any other Hollywood studios ? What about British companies product as well ?
