Hi Paul
In answer to your question, the Richardson Studio only produced daybills from
the 20s through to the late 50s.
You can see many of them in my exhibition .....

Certainly is a beautiful daybill. Has that feeling of old Hollywood which is
an important element of course. Noticed by contrast the Aussie one sheet
follows the US design, which brings a question to mind. Did the Richardson
Studios only produce daybills, or did they venture into other formats?
I’m also fond of the Gorgon-like Polish Sunset Boulevard, though it’s less of
the noir and more of the mad-as-a-box-of-frogs drama queen. As for Double
Indemnity, I think the Spanish one sheet sort of works with its bizarre surreal
images.
Several of my faves have already been said by other MOPOers, but I think the
Thieves’ Highway one sheet echoes the noir look, and the They Live By Night one
sheet has always appealed with its tagline and flame-engulfed car.

The Australian daybill for SUNSET BOULEVARD is rather nice.
