Lots of films, especially something like IFM, didn't always get official/dated re-releases. They just kept playing on and off for a long time, getting bookings from suburban and rurals, small circuits and independents. I can only imagine that IFM also did solid kids matinees for a very long time. I

my two cents... The most plausible theory in my opinion is that it was possibly still playing in some theaters in late 1954 or early 1955 and they needed more posters so they printed more and some print shop employee decided to update the date to 1955. Can you imagine some print shop employee her

As I said Bruce, there is no evidence of the film being reissued. If there is an item in our archive, that misstates it, so be it. I do disagree that it is a reissue poster or there was a reissue of the film two years after its release. Happy to hear from anyone that has a single other format post

So what is your theory about WHY anyone changed the date? It didn't change itself. And why the color change? Why couldn't the answer simply be that in 1955 they ran out of originals and printed new posters, even if there wasn't any official re-release (maybe it was playing in second run theaters an

You are likely correct, Kirby. I know that the non-movie poster poster hobby had posters in the tens of thousands back in the days when movie posters did not, but over the years I got the sense that the two have become quite similar in price structure, but I could be way off. On Sat, Oct 12, 2013
