Road To Zanzibar was originally released in the U.S.A. and also Australia in 1941. This is the first time that I have ever sighted an Australian daybill poster that was printed for this title.
This duotone poster version I am positive was designed for a second printing that was organised later on sometime during the film's first release. As the poster's printer Hollander & Govett ceased printing Paramount film posters in 1945 this would date the poster as being produced sometime between 1942 and 1945 when they were active in printing daybills.
One other point to mention regarding this Road To Zanzibar Richardson Studio daybill is the incorrect order in which the star's names are printed.
For all of the ''The Road'' films made Bing Crosby always received top billing over Bob Hope. The only official exception to the star's billing sequence was in the first film Road To Singapore in 1940 when Dorothy Lamour was billed second before Bob Hope.
I am still searching for images of the three missing Marilyn Monroe Australian daybills Ladies Of The Chorus, Love Nest and Be your Age ( original U.S.A. title Monkey Business).
Thinking about missing daybills I was wondering which titles our members here would like most of all to find to add to their collections, or maybe just to sight.
Love to hear from anyone who would like to comment.

And it doesn't have to be Australian daybills. Desired posters from anywhere in the world would also be great to hear about.

A Dawn Patrol daybill would be mine, either the 1930 or 38 outing, Although Flynn, Niven and Rathbone would be my preference. A Wings one would also be nice

What the 1930 daybill version of The Dawn Patrol looks like.
on my earlier started project that I had included here within this thread in April 2023 when listing missing 1950's musical film genre Australian daybill titles.
From the missing listed titles only one has been located since then. A Ten Thousand Bedrooms (1957) daybill image follows.
( John ) I will continue in keeping an eye out for other missing 1950's musical daybill titles
A rare image of a Guilty? ( 1956 ) Australian daybill poster just located.. Previously mentioned on the Hondo's This And That Thread as not being sighted.
( X Marks The Shop ) The above Australian daybill of Richard ( 1972 ) is the only example of this poster that I have ever sighted. The film was a satire on American president Richard Nixon which was released before the Watergate scandal. Tagline on the poster has ''Satire on tricky dicky'' appearing on it.
The daybill would appear to be have been printed for Roadshow Distributors.
I had never heard about the film previously, and any posters from around the world appear to be in very small numbers. The film itself from some reports has it as seemingly vanished altogether.It sounds like something I would be keen on viewing.
Thank you Dave for sharing the Australian daybill image of the 1938 version of The Dawn Patrol. A very nice poster indeed. Would appear trimmed at the top of the poster having removed the blank white section.

Is this just me in thinking that this image of Dorothy Lamour from The Road To Zanzibat daybill looks a little out of whack?
An original USA Road To Zanzibar insert poster image of Dorothy Lamour containing a similar image copied to the Austrealian daybi
