About the Item

A stunning stone lithography Australian daybill poster for Alfred Hitchcock's psychological masterpiece 'The Birds,' starring Tippi Hendren in her debut role. Based on Daphne du Maurier's 1952 short story of the same name, the suspense-filled thriller set in an eerie Northern California coastal town besieged by a series of unexplained violent bird attacks remains one of the most terrifying films ever made. In 2021, the film was ranked at No. 29 by Time Out on their list of "The 100 best horror movies", and has been named the seventh greatest thriller in American cinema by the American Film Institute. Although a similar format to US 'insert' movie posters, Australian 'daybill' posters are significantly rarer. CONDITION Archivally backed on linen. Backing has smoothed two horizontal machine folds so that they are now virtually invisible. Image and colours excellent. Printed by Robert Burton Pty. Ltd., Sydney.

'Thunderbirds Are Go' Original Vintage Australian Daybill Movie Poster, 1966
Located in Devon, GB
Printed in stunning stone lithography, this explosive Australian Daybill poster advertised the first full length feature film based on the British sci-fi Supermarionation television series 'Thunderbirds.' Created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, 'Thunderbirds' combined a form of electronic marionette puppetry, which they named "Supermarionation," with scale model special effects sequences. Set in the 2060s, 'Thunderbirds' followed on from the Anderson's earlier Supermarionation productions including 'Fireball XL5' and 'Stingray.' The series followed the exploits of International Rescue, a life-saving organisation equipped with technologically-advanced land, sea, air and space rescue craft headed by a fleet of five vehicles named the Thunderbirds and launched from the organisation's secret base of operations in the Pacific Ocean.
