Same film, different format - The Australian Daybill versus the One Sheet


If you have spent some time on the site, my love of Australian paper is no secret.

I have enjoyed pulling together a collection which showcases the various styles for advertising a film in Australia.

And I am not the only one.

With the help of some fellow collectors and countless years perusing the internet, I bring you the daybill versus the one sheet.
