BEDKNOBS AND BROOMSTICKS Original Daybill Movie poster Original or Reissue

BEDKNOBS AND BROOMSTICKS Australian movie posters have been difficult to date for some sellers and collectors. The film was released in 1971 and the "G" censor detail on both daybills is correct for the era. The daybill picutred on the left is a reissue for the 1979 release of the movie and the clue to dating the poster is in the distibutors details.

 

The original release daybill on the right carries the BEF distribution logo whilst the daybill on the left has the Great Union details. BEF Film Distributors was renamed Greater Union Organisation Film Distributors in 1976 so this indicates that the daybill on the left was most likely printed for the 1979 release.
