I'm one of the lucky ones who appreciates that Australian movie posters are, on the whole, better and more vibrant than their US counterparts.
I'll admit there was a period in the 1970s when the US took over but in the 50s/60s the colours and often the artwork were better in Aussie posters, IMO. While some of the art was terrible, overall I stilol prefer my Aussie stuff.
Of course I might not convince some of the uninitiated but I think this is a good example where the yellow and variety of colours makes the aussie version more appealing.

Cool side-by-side comparison, Rick.
I'd have to agree that the AU DINOSAURUS is much better with the additional color values.
Have any others?

Good man, I can possibly add, but not sure if I will have the US counterpart in person.
-
It's hard to set aside natural allegiance to your home country, but I'd say the Aussie style is an "acquired taste." To me that "softer" style appears somewhat unrefined but others no doubt prefer it. The Venetian Affair is a typical example. The US version has far more detail and is more realistic.
(http://www.posternirvana.com/0DNE/0-APF2/Aussie%20compare.jpeg)
Same situation with Made In Paris. The US art has been redrawn with less detail:

I do conceded there are times the US wins, particularly in the 70s/early 80s when Aussie posters seemed bland and less colourful. Craig's three sheet though is a brilliant example of an Aussie win
-
Pity we didn't print more horiz posters. That's the format I find most attractive.
-
Another typical comparison - IMO US wins, Aussie pretty good but artwork is unrefined and simplistic to my eye (US version sells for 10 times more, which is substantial proof by itself):
(http://www.posternirvana.com/0DNE/0-APF2/Creature-compare.jpg)
Casablanca: Aussie blows away US version for sure:

Star Wars: US/international plainly superior:
(http://www.posternirvana.com/0DNE/0-APF2/SW-compare.jpg)
-
A lot of the Aussie art is crude, which has it's own appeal to some collectors. Rarity comes into it though because there are a lot less around than the U.S. posters.

The Australian Halloween and Godfather i think has kicked some serious butt here, they are in a league of there own :-*

I think Rick was trying to initially compare apples to apples where the posters have the same image (and it probably works best for daybills vs. inserts), not items where one country has totally different artwork than the other.
But the Creature one-sheet Mel posted is a great example of my usual complaint about Australian posters, poor tracing of the US-art with no detail/shading, colored with what looks to be chalk crayons.
Because Them! and Dinosaurus are both tri-color posters, it's definitely easier to make the argument for the Australian ones, but the Star Wars and Venetian Affair show more typical results when making the comparison.
-
I prefer the US Halloween over Aussie myself.

I Really like both the insert and Daybill of The Blue Dahlia, better flip a coin :-\
-
Come on, that Blue Dahlia daybill looks like it was drawn by a 10 year old and the US insert is just a crude photo cutout. A better comparison is the Spanish language three sheet and the US one sheet, which are vastly superior to both:

Mel, that isn't a better comparison as you are still not comparing like artwork to like artwork as was intended.
But I will agree that the Austalian daybill for Dahlia is horrible, Lake is unrecognizable and they make Bendix look like a frightened old woman.
-
Hey, I just joined the International Society to Advance Daybill Acceptance. (http://www.naafaonline.com/dev2/) Discrimating against daybills is just wrong!

I think all of the above points out the futility of trying to figure out who is the best. The closest you'd ever get is on a title by title basis, which, it turns out, is what most of us, the ob/coms anyway, spend our collecting careers trying to do.

-
I think you need to compare shape with shape for a like with like comparison.
Therefore Blue Dahlia vs Insert is fair and the daybill wins hands down (and is pretty nice anyway). Throwing up a 3sheet which has something like 4-5 times the area for the artwork is not like-with-like really, nor is (to a lesser degree) offering up a 1sh which is about 2.5 times the size a daybill (don't check those measurements, I just roughed it!)
Like for like:
Daybill v Insert
AU1SH v US1Sh

That Empire Strikes back is the epitomy of a slam dunk.

The Aust. art for TDTESS, is just a less detailed copy of the US artwork. Several areas, especially, show this, IMO. The large hand surrounding the Earth and the face of the babe in Gort's arms, is especially not 'up to snuff." :'(

I do like the Rodan daybill better than the US insert, but it's totally different artwork, so again not a good comparison.
oh yeah, I'll probably get yelled at by Peter if I forget to mention that we have a bunch of auctions with some cool stuff ending tomorrow (see link below).

Ted to make the official call, but looks like we're done and dusted. Not only has the Aussie paper won out, but the Aussie collectors have shown themselves to be more passionate and dedicated.

Yes, this is proven daily by prices the Aussie paper brings vs. US originals.
Believe me, you will have no competition from me or anyone I know when the next daybill for Creature from the Black Lagoon, House of Frankenstein, and scores of others appear for sale. (http://boards.collectors-society.com/images/graemlins/default/screwy.gif)
And of course if anyone here has an ugly US insert for House of Frankenstein and would like to trade it for one of the beautiful Aussie daybills with it's superior coloring (http://boards.collectors-society.com/images/graemlins/default/sick.gif) I would be happy to track one down for just such an opportunity.
Here's some more Aussie "winners" (the Mole People is especially stunning, they must have spent extra money to hire a 10-yr old to trace & color it instead of the usual 8-yr old) compared to the US losers.
I saw some kids yesterday doing chalk drawings on the sidewalk here, they should probably be hired right-away to color the next round of daybills. :P

Hey mom! Guess what we did in art class today? We traced a US insert poster and then tried coloring in with chalk. A movie studio paid us $5 extra if we finished it before nap time. Then we watched Sesame Street.

Sean is undoubtedly America's movie poster champion, driving back the Aussies with clever combinations.
No bobbing and weaving, just landing haymaker after haymaker.
No surprise that Ves is Australia's strongest advocate. Those one sheet comparisons and the Richardsons are amazing.
Craig's got his argument solidly planted. Many Australian winners there.
Ari? He doesn't know what side of the fence he is playing.
Gotta hand it to him...that PROJECTED MAN daybill has got to be one of the worst movie ads I have ever seen.
Bravo, Ari!

Of that batch I would say AU kicks butt (seriously you could not argue against Aus The Innocents nor Funny Face) except IMO The Birds US version is better, I prefer the 'sharper' imagery of the birds, Tippi looks like she is being loved to death by doves on the Aus.

Innocents is definitely nice. Eastwood no difference, Funny Face one could argue but it's different enough as to not matter.
But surely no one could actually prefer that garish Aussie Phantom over the beautiful original?
Sorry, but bright patches of primary color over stick figures does not make a better poster.

I meant that the art is different enough from the US version that it can't be considered a copy like the other pictured items are.
So you stated that the Aussie versions kick butt in these latest postings, (Innocents and Funny Face), then admit the US Birds is better and that the Aussie Phantom is pretty much horrible, so that ties it 2-2.
Are you saying the Aussie Few Dollars is that much superior to the US to put the group of five in the "kicks butt" territory? Slightly smaller artwork with less detail - hardly seems like a landslide winner

Australia definitely produced some fine daybills, and especially when left to their own devices and not copy the US artwork, many times they are great (like Things to Come, or the great Casablanca Mel put up).
But when they directly copy full color US artwork from the 40s-60s, I find that the comparisons usually fall short like the one aboce.
But that's what makes collecting so great, we can't all collect the same things.

Both are terrible and would be $2 posters if the movie had sucked.

I thought same for same was apples for apples? >>
"I think Rick was trying to initially compare apples to apples where the posters have the same image (and it probably works best for daybills vs. inserts), not items where one country has totally different artwork than the other."
It is about different tastes and loyalties though. So far you're the only one standing up for U.S., which is surprising me! Rich has had a little dig, but I'd have expected much more! Thought you guys were more patriotic?
I think in the period you'te talking about they just copied the U.S. art from whatever was on hand. I doubt they had posters, prob just press sheets in b&w. They had to churn them out quick, and some are definitely shockers!! As we've seen they stole images from anywhere & everywhere.
I'm not an art buff, but went to a Monet exhibition at Sydney art gallery a few years ago. From 1 - 2 metres away the paintings look ridiculous and make no sense. Walk back five metres and everything comes into focus. I don't know how he did it - maybe he used a 5 metre brush!!
When you view those old dbs from a distance - which is how they were looked at mostly - you get a similar effect. I reckon Richardson knew that. Check it out some time.

Exactly - then you posted Wizard of Oz with totally different artwork.
Richardson studio stuff is usually beautiful (and unique). A lot of the Burton stuff and just before he started to me is junk. Doesn't have anything to do with patriotism. It has to do with I like my artwork to resemble artwork. Tracing (poorly) a beautiful Reynold Brown painting and loading it up with bright chalky colors just isn't my thing. No biggie and I don't want to discourage those collectors that do enjoy them. But to me there is no way any collector could like something like the Aussie one-sheet for Creature From the Black Lagoon for a reason other than nostalgia. Same for Mole People and many others.
ps - Step Down to Terror insert has same art as 3-sheet, just couldn't find an image of it to use and it sticks to the theme of like art vs. like art. The Aussie one certainly is more terrifying.

Much better, but still a pale imitation of the US one-sheet.
-
for the most part, the artwork on Australian posters is inferior to it's American counterpart. The patina that mant Americans like about Aussie posters is that the lithography is done well and also on the odd times when the Aussie poster has entirely different art, that is very well done. Beyond that, it's pretty difficult to find an Australian version of US posters that are superior

'fraid so, look it's going to be near impossible for Aussie to win where the rules are examples where the art is copied from another source (perhaps in some cases where photographic art on an insert is replaced by a richardson designed daybill we can win).
But really it should be Best Poster for a title, regardless of whats depicted.

According to the Aussies, no. Australia wins because they got the kids to color it with their bright crayolas (at least that seems to be their argument when compared to US stuff).

I understand the fun of these comparisons but it's really flawed from the outset because Aussie posters are created in a completely different medium vs. US posters.
Also, many daybills take their artwork 'inspiration' from US 3 sheets over inserts. Some...well...it's really VERY puzzling as to what drugs the Aussie artist was on!
-
Generally in my opinion Aussie posters are much richer in terms of colour saturation but there is certainly almost always a trade off in fine detail.
Side-by-side with US counterparts many Aussie posters are far more striking to the naked eye just because the colours really POP!
Here's another Aussie win:

Notice the different rating on the 3sht with horror reference. Don't see many with that one. House of Frankenstein & The Body Snatcher have it. All around 1945ish.

The Aus daybill for HOUSE OF DRACULA was mentioned in the mid auction thread. I just did a little perusing and found the Aus 3 sheet that Bruce auctioned back in Dec of 2004. It went for a "whopping" $380.00! And it was already linen backed!
Nice!! sm1
Wow! Someone picked up a bargain.

I think this is one of the better Australian daybills ....

It appears that the Aus daybill used (and very slightly reworked) the art and layout, directly, from the US insert.

The US poster is obviously a re-issue as the portrait of Judy is taken from "Meet Me in St Louis" - a movie she did five years later. You can see the hairstyle is identical - she also looked a lot more pudgier in the face when she did OZ, so no real comparison.

I''ve only seen him in "Dracula" and then in "The Wolf Man" and "The Body Snatchers" - he didn't age well like some horror icons, unfortunately, and while "Dracula" has that static quality and agonizing pacing, he is still great in it.

Australia definitely produced some fine daybills, and especially when left to their own devices and not copy the US artwork, many times they are great (like Things to Come, or the great Casablanca Mel put up).
But when they directly copy full color US artwork from the 40s-60s, I find that the comparisons usually fall short like the one aboce.
But that's what makes collecting so great, we can't all collect the same things.
Jees, next you'll be saying you prefer soup cans in your cupboard to an Andy Warhol painting :o

What I like best about the above comparison Sean was making is the Aussie reluctance to use the word 'terror.'
I mean the Aussie artwork pales in comparison, but then the title jerk? That's the icing on the cake.

Easily explanable: we don't have "terror" in Australia - we leave that to the Americans. However we do have dangers, especially in our oceans - why don't you go swimming off our shores some time? A creature of your girth would attract any number of dangerous sea life.
BTW, what is a "title jerk"? Is it like what you call beef jerky?

No, Australia's censors have problems with words like 'terror' or images of cleavage, thighs, etc.
We got over that years ago.
I used the word 'jerk' as in 'knee-jerk' reaction to the scary 'terror' word that so easily frightened the aforementioned censors.

For someone who's never been to Australia (nor anywhere much outside your own town) it's amazing how confident you when you spurt forth untruths. However I understand your obsession with "censorship" considering America invented the term and enforced tyrannical control over the US film industry for more than three decades. An actress had to keep one foot on the ground when being politely pecked - how quaint. And your TV shows, lol - fathers and mothers sleeping in separate beds well into the 60's. In Australia, shows of the same period like "No 96" were showing full frontal nude women (and men) in prime time. No separate beds here!
As for cleavage - check out the daybill for "Prince and the Showgirl" - there's a medal hanging off her mammory gland - the artist couldn't have drawn more attention to (t)it if he tried.
Then again,. you should know about tits - as you're a total boob. :D

Oh no CSM, we're going to have our first fight! moron1 While some Aussie posters are censored, you can still find just as many originals that slipped through the "cracks" (no pun intended). Also, I think you're confusing Aussie and New Zealand posters. The Kiwis often took crude black markers to any offending nudity/violence - Australia never.
We never were the provincial, naive community Americans think we were and are.

No confusion...although you are right about NZ posters being even more heavily censored.
It's mainly suggestions of violence or overt sexuality that were omitted in the Aussie artwork vs. US...there is no argument really - there are many examples as I said.
It may be true that you're not a prude but the many of the posters were :P

Nope, many examples I have of violent and overtly sexual Australian daybills from the 40's-60's, so we'll have to agree to disagree.

My god, you're doing a crowzilla! Showing one example does not win an argument - believe me, somewhere in Australia is an original copy of that poster with a hung woman (obviosuly an hermaphrodite). One artist's conception is just that.
I find it laughable that the Yanks think Australia had an aversion to violence and sex when the country was founded by convicts and we have always been known as the horniest people alive.

Yes of course there examples where no censorship was done. I don't think anyone was asserting every and all Aussie posters from that time frame were 'censored'.
It's an indisputable fact that the artwork on some (there are many) Aussie posters was altered vs. the US of the same time period. Don't get why it's such a touchy subject...it's the truth and it makes them artifacts of cultural history...

Who said that doing a comparison won any argument? Not I. It's called a visual example, in case you didn't get it. And how is showing an example "doing a crowzilla?" This simply shows that Aussie posters, like those from other countries, have been censored from time to time.
Who here said that the Aussies had an aversion towards violence and sex? Again, it wasn't said here.
And your "somewhere in Australia is an original copy of that poster" comment doesnt cut it. That, then, could be said of any poster or any THING, for that matter, whether it was true or not. The censored art version was the poster put out in Aus for this film.
But please, show us an uncensored example; dont just ask us to believe it, simply because you said it is so.
Maybe, though, you meant that some "horny convict" painted an uncensored copy on his living room wall. That certainly might have been the case. :P

One should point out that the only hand drawn part of that insert is a couple of line drawings of two cartoon females climbing up a the Eiffel Tower (can you spell phallic?) and a book. Good effort :P

-

I noticed that too, Steve.
The AUS version is just an exact copy of the US artwork. Why was the anchor altered and made to look like that? To make it slightly unique and not appear to be an almost mirror duplicate?
Tho, the treasure chest and gold coins are slightly different in appearance tho, too, at the bottom. ;)

Must have been a Yank who painted it, the British flag is upside down.... eyeroll
-
Paul, flags were flown upside down as a distress signal. Also, it was used (flown upside down) by groups under siege during the Boer War and during campaigns in India in the late 18th century.
Perhaps in this scene in the film, this has happened sometime prior to this particular ship.
And if so, then the "Yank" artist painted it correctly for the insert art. thumbup
-
Jeff - he's yanking your (anchor) chain, the UK flag is the same either way... ;)
As to why the cross piece on the anchor is not drawn, perhaps the Australian censors may have gotten over zealous and removed it so it didn't just do that, look like a cross? The most logical explanation thus far?

Hi David- I dont think Paul was "anchor chain yanking..." (were you Paul?) LOL.
found this on wikipedia: ;)
While the flag appears symmetric, the white lines above and below the diagonal red are different widths. On the side closest to the flagpole (or on the left when depicted on paper), the white lines above the diagonals are wider; on the side furthest from the flagpole (or on the right when depicted on paper), the converse is true. Thus, no change will be apparent when rotating the flag 180 degrees, but if mirrored the flag will be upside-down.

"The most commonly agreed-upon distress signal in Britain’s Royal Navy was to tie an ensign into a “wheft” or a “knot” and fly it from the foretop-gallant masthead."

Yes you lot, the Union flag, or Union Jack if flown at sea, have a certain way up. Also It would never under any circumstance be flown upside down. That's not the British way, and there's a VERY long story why it would never be flown upside down.
Some of this history has been lost in recent generations, as seen by these Olympic games, where the amount of people with the flag upside down was Astounding...

It's ok, a bit, I thought about it.
It was different, maybe a second run, same art, but the blue was dark red, no blue at all. So minus a colour. Pupils were dark red also. So I guess just red and blank ink used.
It looked much darker overall and the eyes really stood out as his hair and the edge of face etc sort of melted not the background. I know who has it, but he can't find it. One day he will find it.
I think it Actually looked better perhaps.

While the daybill is very nice, you're comparing it with a one sheet.
And even though Peters is in B&W on the one sheet, I still prefer it to the daybill.
Why? Because the daybill artist altered Jean Peters' outrageous anatomy, cropped it all to hell and then covered it with type.
(Not to mention all the dead space at the top of the daybill.)
(http://moviemem.com/images/pictures/store/B/BLUEPRINTFORMURDERB.jpg)(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_C6kND_Ezjv4/TSeNMzW4G3I/AAAAAAAAA0A/ZuQcfVVZUn4/s1600/49.-Blueprint-for-Murder.jpg)
If the insert didn't have the cheesy photo at the bottom, it would easily smack down the daybill.
As it is, I think it's a toss-up between the similar formats.

US guys getting desperate now. Comparing RR daybills to 1/2 shts & 1 shts!
-
Aussie: creative, colourful, playful, visually appealing.
(http://i1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh557/ozcinemagic/dixieaus.jpg)
US: photographic, uninspired & generally drab. Same story everywhere!
(http://i1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh557/ozcinemagic/dixieus.jpg)
-
In the above example, the Aus has done nothing original except to (poorly) trace the original photographic elements of the US insert (what did they do to Crosby's face?) No artwork is ever original. And when left to their own devices, they come up with things like the Dunkirk example, (RR or not). :P
As far as comparing daybills to OS art, the Son of Jekyll artistic/photographic elements are identical, so even better. It's one of best ways to compare and show how Aus artists often couldn't even get those right, altering and "child-fying" their copied US counterparts. ;D

Couldn't find a pic of the insert, they must of given up after the one sheet.

So first I get bitched at for using a one sheet as a comparison.. and, mind you, it had THE SAME ART! What makes you think you can do an about face and pull a 180? And with completely different art. Play by the rules. nono
I hardly think the toy plane depicted on the AUS daybill will do much harm. I'm more afraid of the he/she in the corner (or is that Ellie Mae Clampett?) -- in any case, the one with the long butter knife.

Jeff does have a point.

Whinge, whinge, whinge, that's all you do. Play by the rules. It's War. There are no rules. If you can't stand the heat then go back to your sandbox and play with the other little kiddies. Our children are at work designing artwork, so you can't play with them.

Even when they attempt to copy the art, they leave the same hand positions (like to a hold a knife, for example) but with NO KNIFE IN HAND, it looks nonsensical. And what did they do to his hands?? They look arthritic. laugh1
Coloring the face in with lots of ink doesnt cover up the amateur rendering, in the least. And where is the cool tag line on the Aus version? Nothing like "watering down" and censoring a poster.
The three, small lime green panels on the lower section. Looks like the one doing the tracing had a case of the DTs. :-*

Can't see Hammett dumping anything. That would be pocket money to him.
Now we're all waiting to hear your prediction for what the insert will sell for. Let's see how close you get to the actual sale price (inc BP). If you're within 10% I'll even concede that the insert is the superior poster. Won't see that too often!

Me too, and agree with the wow. Pretty damn cool.
The insert looks like old Boris just stuck his head over the top of a fireworks display... that just went off. :P

I like the insert better.
Why?
The white logo surrounded by pale blue (and 'sparks' above and below) seems to represent electricity, a strong theme in the story.
The daybill artists chose to remove the upper 'sparks,' effectively ruining the continuity.
Then they went and colored in the beautiful white logo. Ugh.
But, I do like the greenish hues on Franky's face and the sepia tone finishing on Mae Clarke for the daybill.
If I had my druthers, I'd swap my daybill for the insert.

Apologies.
I had a fire (literally) to take care of.
I never stated that the poster was sold by Hammett, though as we've seen through Heritage he has been known to sell material both big (Metropolis insert) and small (tons of lobby cards).
Out of respect for the seller though, I will decline to publicly comment on what I think the value might be, except to state that even with the borders trimmed and replaced I think it will sell for more than the daybill.
But at the end of the day since I am not bidding on the piece it really doesn't matter what I think it should sell for. The determination of it's value will be made by actual bidders, not cheerleaders.

So sorry this happen. Sometimes when I leave the house in the morning, I have bad thoughts and then go back in and check the oven and stove and what ever else I had on... My dad had the same OCD complex when I was growing up - his dad's house burnt to the ground, so he was always warped somewhat...

Yeahr, the Oz mole people is hands down the best. Clearly the womens boobs are so much better, much more attention/detail thumbup and after all, thats important. Also they didn't go down the path of unnecessary clutter by cleverly drawing fewer people (or maybe they were busy with the boobs and out of time?) in the insert image. Plus brown eggs for eyes... CLASSIC!!!... this must be some bizarre monster... what a great poster!

One day Saint Peter was waiting by the Pearly Gates for new arrivals, his first arrival was Michaelangelo.
Michaelangelo: "Saint Peter, before I enter the gates of Heaven, I must know - was I the most artistic person that ever lived?"
Saint Peter reached into his back pocket for his reference book and replied "Yes Mickey.. You are the most artistic person that ever lived, you may enter the gates of Heaven"
next, the Pope arrived and he asked "Saint Peter, before I enter the gates of Heaven, I must know - was I the most religious person that ever lived?"
Saint Peter reached into his back pocket for his reference book and replied "Yes Popey.. You are the most religious person that ever lived, you may enter the gates of Heaven"
then Leonardo Da Vinci arrived and he asked "Saint Peter, before I enter the gates of Heaven, I must know - was I the most intelligent person that ever lived?"
Saint Peter reached into his back pocket for his reference book and replied "Yes Leo.. You are the most intelligent person that ever lived, you may enter the gates of Heaven"
Finally, Quasimodo arrived and he asked "Saint Peter, before I enter the gates of Heaven, I must know - was I the ugliest person that ever lived?"
Saint Peter reached into his back pocket for his reference book, slipped to the proper chapter and page and was getting ready to answer when he stopped, screwed up his eyes and asked Quasimodo "Who the Hell is Linda Tripp.......?"

Hey man didn't there used to be some Australians hanging around this board?
I guess I'll have to pinch-hit for them.
I kinda like this Australian one sheet for The French Line (1954):

Is that supposed to be Jane Russell? ;D
Cue Rick or Matt... ;)

There are few on here where I think the Ausies win but not that many. IN the case of this one, more modern than most, I think the US wins again.

Identical artwork - the AU OS has used as well as the type font -- (and aside from the purple/lavender background). Why do you think the Jaws US OS wins out, rather than this being more a tie? (Granted, the AU version is not original, so that may be the deciding factor?)

Water is blue, not lavender ;)

Blue is better than purple?
I am always entertained here.

Indeed. And it is blue both... (but I havent been for an eye check lately, tho, so what am I seeing?)

For me it is more a matter of the shades on the US 1s work better. The darker BG black or blue depending on the print and the red in the Jaws. The Purple does not look as ice to me and the red in the title also just does not work for me. It is though like the other posters in this thread an each to their own. For me the choice though is clear just like the Them 2sh in the beginning the Australian is the winner hands down.
-
The actual retail answer is that both are poorly designed. I sold my original release in favor of the 1979 re-release long ago:

True enough mike.. all about "the eye of the beholder"and what appeals, on all levels. I'm assuming the AU version / choice to use the lavender background was to just make it more unique, compared to the US OS style.
Both work, mightily, on conveying the ultimate theme of the film, imo, so it all about what draws one, aesthetically, at the end of the day. :)

I'd have to concede US Jaws with the blue background is better. I think that poster in the photo is the original Aussie Jaws.
-
He was referring to the poster not being the original as in it is copied from the US to make the Aussie version and the US is the original. I had to ask him to. I was wondering is there a bootleg on this one I don;t know about.

Original, as in the originally created artwork for the US OS that was also then used on the AU OS. Not meaning bootleg, a later copy, etc. Sorry for any possible confusion.
Not me intention. ;)

Good for you that you are showing appropriate respect and deference to the Poster Messiah....

Italians changed the color too. In this case, I kinda like the light blue.

Was wondering the same thing.
They did make blue daybills but a different shade. This shade of blue is the same that was used for Jaws 2 making me wonder as well if there was an Australian RR using this. The red in the title looks to be the same as Jaws 2, the purple ones are a different red.

Got this email from an Australian collector about the blue Australian one sheet. This collector consigned the upcoming Jaws six sheet at EMP:

Locally, M.A.P.S did the majority of local authorised printing in the 70s. However, I have one sheets and daybills of Jaws from Australia and they were printed in the USA. In my opinion, this is either a very clever fake (using the M.A.P.S logo and Australian “M” rating) but more than likely original. The blue was probably an artistic choice, given the studios didn’t really care if the original artwork was tweaked by the local distributor in that era.

Poor Teresa Wright on that daybill... the film title, in this case, seems appropriate. ;)
And Ray Milland was also aged about 10 years, too. Doh.gif
;D

its a shame, as the colours and shading of these would have made them nice if the artist could have made the faces better.
Ahh well.

Why not fair? It's an AU daybill from 1979 -- so it's not a later RR item.
The one I posted was unique artwork created specifically in AU for the movie... and not just "borrowing" the US art to make the version u posted. ;D

Hey Marc,
As a fellow Gene Tierney fan, what's your take or view on this comparison? Spying.gif
-
Not quite sure which is the "winner" here...
(http://www.theartofmovieposters.com/pages/gallery/PRICE/1946_SHOCK.JPG)(http://www.theartofmovieposters.com/pages/gallery/PRICE/1946_SHOCK_A.jpg)
Not sure?
I'm hoping and praying that the girl portrayed on the left side poster, with the overly wide set eyes (she almost looks to be a character straight out of Deliverance) isn't supposed to be the same, pretty Lynn Bari that is shown on the US OS, on the right? prayer.gif
If it is, then the "winner" (even though this thread was not meant to be a contest) is pretty much a no brainer -- the lovely image of Ms Bari (and overall) on the right. Even with only a half, facial image of her on the US insert, I'd rather look at that imagery.
There was certainly no reason for the AU artist to hit her with the ugly stick on the AU poster.
Many AU daybills are beautiful, just not a close call here, imho.

The font for the word Shock looks better on the oz poster. The US one daoesnt have the feel of shock it is more closer to lipstick!

Now that you mention it, Steve...that font is a bit better... and the title is certainly appropriate, all things considered. ;D

MUCH prefer the Aussie for the tagline at the top alone!

At least the same image of Nicholson was used & wasn't toyed with, so that we still can all still recognize him without going hmmm.gif

That made me chuckle Jeff, thanks. Not only has she turned into a angry woman, but she has had a breast reduction and lost at least one arm.

If one squints real hard, the copied pose and stance of the figure on the AU poster tells one that's supposed to be James Dean. If the artist was going to mess him up so badly, he/she should have just used the US OS artwork-photo.
Also, I'm not sure why he was given what looks like white fur trim above his boots (the contrast of the inside/outside color of the blue denim is way too strong -- unless his jeans had a white liner in the Aussie release version of the movie). ;D
All that being said, the US OS is a bit blah, but I still think it takes the trophy in this case. If James Dean is going to be hit with the "ugly, art stick," then the AU example is the winner.

Are Tony Curtis and Jack Lemon holding up Quasimodo's sister on the AU version? ;D Why so disfigure MM's face? I dont get it. Poor Marilyn. And the boys actually look more attractive than she does.

One of the greatest films ever made (imho), and poor Clark Gable is almost made to look like a hunchback, with an interesting right arm that seems to go in 2 directions, on the AU version. hmmm.gif

Suddenly Last Summer (1960)
If not for the names, I dont think I'd know who the 3 people were at the top of the daybill. Monty Clift was given a nose to rival Basil Rathbone's. And the image of what is supposed to be Ms Hepburn is actually more attractive than that of the one thought to be Ms Taylor. ;D dontknow.gif GoOn.gif

Wow. Interesting to see these side-by-side Autralian vs. American designs. Well done, Jefe. I wonder why the Aussies didn't just use the same images as the Americans.
-
I agree, too, Brandon. Especially when the daybill renditions look so poor. Is it done on purpose? Or is this the best that can be done? Dunno.
-
I would love to know more about the company and artist(s) who did those shitty/wonderful daybills. I've said it before but if I was starting collecting again I think it'd be those monstrosities.
