Nice Ves! that seller is coming up with some rare and interesting one sheets. Great for the hobby and builds hope that we will eventually tick off all those posters on the wanted list !
The above Australian one sheet poster has the billing of the stars incorrect for the release of this film in Australia in 1942. The original correct billing order is as it appears on the above U.S.A. glass slide. and all other film posters of that time, including the following Australian daybill from 1942. Of interest also is that John Carradine receives billing on the one sheet, but not a mention of him appears on the Australian daybill.
A 1947 Australian newspaper advertisement where Rita Hayworth's name has been elevated, and with no mention now of Linda Darnell. By 1947 Rita Hayworth was as a much bigger star at the box office. The majority of the 1947 ads that I sighted still have Linda Darnell's name appearing as second billing, but there are also some other examples of the elevation of Rita's name found.
My thoughts are that when the film was re-released in Australia in 1947, the original 1942 one sheet artwork was played with, then used in an altered form.
Man... Mondo drops are not as competitive as they use to be... An artist I have been following (he does really cool art deco type stuff) for a couple of years, Timothy Pittides, got his big break on Mondo today. I hit F5 real close to the drop and was able to get his variant and then I went back for the Struzan and got that too. I kept checking and the variant didn't sell out for about 30 minutes. The Struzan is gone now but the regular Lagoon is still available. Not like the old days where you had about 5 minutes...

To be honest I had no idea what it was. The blank at the bottom completely threw me!
