It is as simple as shown below with an original Australian 1963 first release Australian one sheet. There was never a full stop after the word No in the title of the film. I am unable to locate this additionally placed full stop on any other Dr.No film posters from around the world that I have seen anywhere else, so just an error in the designing and printing process of the one sheet happened here.
The Valley Of Ngumba ( aka Allein im Unwald ) ( Germany 1922 ) no-frills Australian daybill poster. The Nora Swinbourne should have been Nora Swinburne.
You must be referring to the David Gulpilil poster credit. For whatever reason he was billed as David Gumpilil in his first screen appearance. It took me a while looking at the poster for it to dawn on me that the surname spelling was different.

Yes! I couldn't believe that I had never noticed before Travesty!
Yes the correct spelling is Laraine Day. Well done Ves, but wait there is yet more to be revealed regarding Laraine Day's name being a problem in spelling it correctly in Australia.
Getting it wrong once is bad enough but it happening again a second time a couple of years later with the same mistake made with Mary Names The Day ( aka Dr. Kildare's Wedding Day ) ( 1941) long daybill is unusual to say the least.
The Australian glass slide pictured below though did get the spelling correct.
Would you then believe though that nineteen years later the same mistake happened once more with The Third Voice ( 1960 ) daybill and also the one sheet. What would the odds have been for this happening a third time one has to ponder?

Is it possible there could be other examples of Australian posters with this name spelling error also in existance?
One last comment is that the three posters were produced by three different printers, with these being Hackett, Marchant and Robert Burton.
A Message To Garcia ( 1936 ) second printing of an Australian daybill and the U.S.A. original insert poster.
What I cosider the problem here is that Barbara Stanwyck was a huge star in the 1930s when this film was released. Her billing on the daybill is separated from that of Wallace Beery and her billing,along with John Boles name, is slightly smaller in letter size. On all of the original U.S.A. posters artwork, including the insert appeariing above, the three stars are tightly grouped together and their names all appear in exactly the same size lettering.
Freckles ( 1960 ) Australian daybill. One of many Australian film posters where the printer incorrectly left off the name of the distributor. In this case the distributor being 20th Century Fox.
The poster appears to have been printed for New Zealand distribution. 20th Century Fox was also the distributor over there, so the absence of a distriburor's name wasn't due to their being a different distributor in New Zealand than Australia. It just appears to be a simple case of laziness from the poster artist at Robert Burton.
Just a mention in case you are wondering about the image of the running man looking a little odd. This is only because he is played as one-handed in the film.
Hitler's Madman ( 1943 ) daybill is yet another poster where the printer left off the Australian distributor's name. In this case an MGM credit is missing.
The Hitler's Madman Australian one sheet where the MGM credit does appear on the poster. A different printer from the daybill version was responsible here.
Three For The Show ( 1955 ) Australian daybill missing a Columbia Pictures credit, and the original similar designed U.S.A, insert with the Columbia Pictures credit printed on it. Here is just another example of numerous errors made at the hands of the Australian printers.
Flame In The Streets ( 1961 ) Australian daybill. A question for this poster is that there is an error printed on it which may prove difficult to identlfy. Any idea as to what it may be?
The "Three For The Show" daybill does have a Columbia Picture credit on it though, or am I missing something?
This entry had been sitting in my draughts folder for some cosiderable time. The only thing that I can think of now is that I was intending to mention that the Columbia Picrures logo, commonly used in Australia during the 1950s, was missing from the poster. Instead I just mentioned that a Columbia Pictures credit was missing, when there was actually A Columbia Pictues line credit. Thanks Dede for pointing this out to me,

The error that occured here is that the film was made and released by the British Rank Organasition and correctly credited as such on the top section of the poster.
The major mistake that took place on the poster was that a British Lion / Lion International logo appears alongside the Australian distributor BEF'S logo, instead of the Rank / BEF combination of logos.
The Rank Organisation credit, the incorrect Lion International BEF combination logo credit along with a clearer image, and the correct logos credit combination that should have been applied on the poster.
First time here for the image. I have seen the daybill image previously and didn't pick up on the incorrect spelling of release blunder, Thanks for posting.
There is an interesting error on this US printed International lobby card and it seems to be just confined to this set of cards. Another set of un numbered cards was also printed with the correct spelling but no "Litho in USA" at the bottom. I'm sure everyone will be able to spot the glaring error.
Country Music On Broadway ( 1964 ) Australian daybill, with the obvious misspelling of direct printed on the poster.
The interesting thing about this one is that someone must have picked up the error before the printing process and they made a crude attempt to fix it. The same correction appears on all of the daybills I have seen and it has not been done with pen or paint.

It had to be pointed out to me. I don't know how many times I have looked at this poster and it never registered!

Calling Dr. Kildare ( 1939 ) Australian long daybill. Can you spot the error here?

This is true, but not what i am seeking the answer for.

Not sure if we've had this before (I can't find it). Took me a while to see it
