MGM Pictures STOCK Blank Daybill Movie poster 1960s

 

Original 1960s Australian daybill 13" x 30" folded as issued, fine – very fine condition (see enlarged photo for condition).
 
Stock Australian daybills were printed with generic artwork and images with a blank space so that film and screening details could be added by the Cinema or distibutor. They were usually used when stock of original posters had run out or when films had been reissued with limited screenings. Blank stock daybills are quite scarce.

 

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. (abbreviated as MGM or M-G-M, also known as Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer or Metro, and for a former interval known as Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer/United Artists., or MGM/UA) is an American media company, involved primarily in the production and distribution of feature films and television programs.


Once the largest, most glamorous, and most revered film studio, MGM was founded in 1924 when the entertainment entrepreneur Marcus Loew gained control of Metro Pictures, Goldwyn Pictures and Louis B. Mayer Pictures. Its headquarters are in Beverly Hills, California. It is one of the world's oldest film studios.
In 1971, it was announced that MGM would merge with 20th Century Fox, a plan which never came into fruition.

 

Over the next thirty-nine years, the studio was bought and sold at various points in its history until, on November 3, 2010, MGM filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. MGM emerged from bankruptcy on December 20, 2010, at which time the executives of Spyglass Entertainment, Gary Barber and Roger Birnbaum, became co-Chairmen and co-CEOs of the holding company of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
