An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Australian Daybill Movie Poster (db; measures 13" x 29" [33 x 74 cm]) (Learn More) Torpedo Boat, the 1942 John Rawlins World War II (WWII) Navy Naval military romantic thriller starring Richard Arlen, Jean Parker, Mary Carlisle, Phillip Terry, and Dick Purcell NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Richardson Studio Important Added Info: Note that this is a really odd daybill! It has no borders, like some untrimmed RKO daybills of this time, but we know that this one is trimmed, because it is from the Richardson Studio, and it does not have their credit at the bottom, so that must have been trimmed off, along with the blank borders. We have also seen a one-color 10" x 30" version of another daybill from this same era (Night Plane From Chungking), and that one-color version does have Richardson Studio info at the bottom. We asked Australian poster expert Phil Edwards to explain this to us, and he told us that he believes that this full-color poster (and the Night Plane From Chungking, which we are offering in a separate auction) ARE both the first release posters (because he said not all posters from during the war were 10" x 30"), and that the one-color 10" x 30" version of Night Plane From Chungking was likely printed when they ran out of color ones, and needed some quick replacements! That sounds good to us, so please know that this is the first release Australian daybill from 1942 (or soon after), but that it has had all of its blank borders trimmed, including the Richardson Studio credit at bottom. Condition: good. The poster had all of its blank borders trimmed off, including the Richardson Studio credit written below the bottom left of the art . It has several extra horizontal folds.
