An original Australian daybill of Tarzan's Three Challenges (1963), and the same style daybill with an altered film title for an earlier released Tarzan film Tarzan's Magic Fountain from 1949. Any thoughts regarding this?
As no other comments, apart from Peters have been received I will now reveal my thoughts on this subject.
You will notice the film's title alteration artwork has been done professionally, so surely eliminating any theatre owners involvement.
My thinking is that MGM made the alteration. The original Tarzan's Magic Fountain film was released in Australian by RKO Radio Pictures. When RKO ceased operations In Australia in the very late 1950.s any unreleased product and the back catalogue of films were taken over for Australian release by MGM. MGM would appear to have released RKO films from the late 1950's and continuing into the 1960's Following below are two MGM produced posters for the original RKO film Tarzan And The Leopard Woman from the 1940's that was re-released in Australia by MGM.
Where there any other RKO 1940's and 1950's Tarzan films re-released by MGM in Australia, and if so also had duotone posters printed for them?
My thinking was there any duotone posters originally printed for the MGM 1960's re-release of Tarzan's Magic Fountain? If this was the case did they run out of them and MGM then promptly altered the Tarzan's Three Challenges daybill to fill the void left?. My other thinking is that was the Tarzan's Three Challenges altered poster the sole produced poster? If this was the case it would have been a very unprofessional decision to do this.
Yes, and I almost made a comment about this myself. A dictionary meaning is '' A person who is confirmed to an institution such as a prison or hospital''.In this period of time we surely think only of the word referring to those in prison.

The above deal I do find amusing. Fast tracking to the American release of Mad Max (1979) in 1980. an alternative dubbed version was screened there.
If they had thought that the American audiences would have struggled with the Australian dialogue and slang in Mas Max, boy how then would American audiences have coped with the 1930's and 1940's film's Australian dialogue and slang, particularly with the Dad And Dave titles?
I have just noticed on Google that an advertised U.S. one sheet is listed as having the shipping to Australia by Fed Ex International economy to be that of.U.S, #131.75 / Aus. $201.58. All I can say is WOW!

West Theatre Adelaide.
Children from the Somerton Crippled Childrens home on a Pioneer Tour coach that was conveying them to the premiere screening.
