A 1962 Re-Release Theatrical LAMINATED Australian Daybill Movie Poster (db; measures 13 1/4" x 30" [34 x 76 cm]) (Learn More)

Dad and Dave Come to Town (released in the U.S. in 1943 as "Farmer Goes to Town"), the 1938 Ken G. Hall Australian Bush-farmers-come-to-the-big-city family relationship slapstick comedy sequel ("Cripes! What this country needs is a darn good laugh!") starring Bert Bailey (in the title role as Dad Rudd), Fred MacDonald (in the title role as Dave Rudd), Shirley Ann Richards, Billy Rayes, and Peter Finch (in his first movie role!). Note that this is the third in a series of broad slapstick comedies made in the 1930s by the same team, and starring the same actors in the lead roles. It was not released until 1943 in the U.S. by Astor Pictures, and it was re-edited before release (likely because the Australian accents and the Australian humor did not translate as well to U.S. audiences).

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare "country of origin" poster for this Australian movie! We have only auctioned one in all our years of auctioning and that was in 2005! Note also that this daybill has been LAMINATED! It is quite likely that there is no way to reverse this process. However, I have seen many posters that have been laminated for over 20 years, and the lamination does not hurt the poster in any way, plus it seems to completely protect it, while allowing it to be easily displayed with no fear of damage. HOWEVER, PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THIS DAYBILL UNLESS YOU WANT TO PURCHASE A LAMINATED POSTER!

Condition: good. The daybill was laminated. It has tiny bits of p along portions of the foldlines and edges and some edge wear. PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THIS DAYBILL UNLESS YOU WANT TO PURCHASE A LAMINATED POSTER!
