(Quote) Not of Australian origin, however, I recently returned from the UK where I managed to pick up a full front of house set (8x10).
A brief post. I now have the actual 2"x4" photo in hand, so was able to take a better scan.

406. Albert R.N, with the photograph featuring the studios 'go to' evil German officer, Anton Diffring.
Who also stared in 405. The Colditz Story and a host of other British WW2 films, from Reach for the Sky to Where Eagles Dare.
<…I see a common theme. Those Brits were great at escaping from camps and Castles
(Quote) Another fact recently discovered is that Peter Butterworth, star of many Carry On films, was involved in the real Great Escape and the escape featured in the earlier film, The Wooden Horse.
Funnily enough he auditioned for …Very nice Lawrence, thanks for posting.404. I won't give the title away, however, I've got a feeling that Donald Pleasence is about to have a bad day.The John Mills version was by far the best. For starters it didn't have a Spitfire gliding around the beaches of Dunkirk without fuel shooting down Stukas!From spending the best part of a day going through some of Wynne's Everyone's editions, although small in scale, the trade advertisement detail is still significant and with the volume of poster artwork he'd have to produce in the same week. I still…(Quote) I'm assuming you mean Ealing Lawrence? So possibly Convoy (1940)?
Your photograph, although using a British Vickers machine gun, looks like German sailors engauging a sea launched observation biplane. So worth a shot.(Quote)
Not the best quality, however, this Everyone's shot shows both of the daybill's and a one sheet.

(Quote) I always wondered if he had help/an understudy to put out such volume?
If you go through some editions of Everyone's on Trove, some of them feature his work on 3 or 4 pages, plus some of these illustrations have multiple ti…399 is The Way Ahead. The Scene depicts David Niven pushing an armored vehicle overboard, after his troopship is torpedoed.I'm sure many of us would like to see Lawrence.

Whilst we're on the subject of Wynne W. Davies, you may like these trade ads of his Lawrence, from within a couple Everyone's magazines that I recently added to my collection.
Fighting Love, Rose of the Golden West (1927), The Unholy Gard…(Quote) Another little pick-up last week in Perth was a Lost World newspaper tie-in advertisement from the October 13th, 1925 edition the Sun News-Pictorial.in Hondo's This And That Comment by Wil September 2024
(Quote) Thought I had one somewhere.
(Quote) The seller had a closing down sale during my trip to Perth, so for a couple of hundred I couldn't say no to adding another 'long' to my collection.
It was clearly mounted (actually with double sided tape), however it shoul…I've been flying the last few days and hoped someone else would knock off these two Burma themed films.
395 is Hammers 'Yesterday's Enemy' 1959 with Stanley Baker in the lead and 396 could well be 'Objective Burma' 1945 with Erol Flynn? …I'll keep quiet. Although 393 is so well lit, almost as if by moonlight and the Commandos in 394 look as if they're collecting cockleshells.
I'd say Richard Burton's Raid on Rommel and George Peppard/Rock Hudson's Tobruk.Always though the Italians had the best artwork for this one.
Very nice indeed. Your ESB would certainly gather some attention if auctioned as Bruce has already prompted.
I'm also one of the Admins of the Star Wars poster group that Ves alluded to. Another SW poster reference source is starwarsmovie…I only watched Godzilla minus one at the cinema last month, then saw it again in Japan on a 4D screen. Then yesterday it pops up on Netflix.I was in Japan recently and they're certainly advertising it well.

@HONDO Big Trail & Ramona are wonderful Lawrence and it's nice to add a new artist to my collection.
Thanks Ves. It means more knowing you're not a big Wayne fan
