The guests all meet at Hill House, where you learn that Professor Plum (Christopher Lloyd) works in Washington, D.C., where everyone else lives. Colonel Mustard (Martin Mull) is a client of Miss Scarlet (Lesley Anne Warren), who is the ex-employer of Yvette (Colleen Camp), the maid, who had an affair with the husband of Mrs. White (Madeline Khan), et cetera. Blackmailer Mr. Boddy (Lee Ving) gives each guest a weapon and tells him or her to kill butler Wadsworth (Tim Curry) to avoid being exposed. Add in Mrs. Peacock's (Eileen Brennan's) craziness and Mr. Green's (Michael McKean's) clumsiness, and meet a whole group tangled in a web of murder, lies, and hilarity... How Our Posters Are Graded: All images of the posters are of the actual poster for sale so what you see is what you get, we do not use stock photos. Very Fine: Almost Mint: Unused with no flaws. Fine: Generally unused with the original folds and possible signs of minor ageing but no significant flaws. Very Good: These have the usual folds, possibly some pinholes, possible very light blue tack stain spots, minor edge or fold wear and/or splits or tears, and unobtrusive stains but no paper loss. Good: Has possible staining, pinholes, minor paper lifts in corners, small tears (possibly taped on reverse) slight fold separations, minor paper loss, and possible blue tack stain spots, and edge wear but still good enough to frame. Fair: These posters will need some restoration and are usually only sold on this site if they are rare and hard to find. There will be a combination of tears, paper loss, staining, pinholes and blue tack stains but because of the rarity of the poster, worth linen backing. Combined Postage Information: We will combine any auction or fixed price posters to save you on postage. If you are buying multiple posters please let us know and then wait until we adjust the invoice before making payment. About Australian Daybill Movie Posters: The Australian daybill movie poster is the Australian equivalent to the American insert. The sizes vary, depending on the era, from 13" x 30" from the 40s to the mid-60s to 13" x 26" 13” x 27”, 13” x 28”and even 11” x 27” from the 80s. Some of the more modern daybill, particularly after 2000 are produced in various sizes. The usual process for producing Australian daybill posters was the hand litho process, which produced posters with a rich texture and subtle toning. The artists would generally use US poster art or press book images for their inspiration and they would either trace or use their own imagination or a combination of both to come up with a design for the poster. This artistic licence led to some beautiful posters unique to Australia, which often featured superior artwork with rich deep colour. Virtually all vintage daybills are now hard to obtain and as such, are becoming increasingly popular due to their convenient size and that a very low number of each produced. They are a very good investment in entertainment history. It is important to note that daybills for the original release of a film often included a two-colour (duotone) or black and white version. In many cases these are mistakenly referred to as copies or later reissues but they were generally released at the same time as the full colour versions were issued and as such, are also originals. Some posters like those produced by RKO Pictures and Brown Prior Anderson Pty. Ltd., Victoria bleed the printing process right to the edge of posters so there was no white border. Many of these posters appear to have been trimmed but are not. Certain printing firms seem to predominate during certain periods, such as W.E. Smith and Robert Burton of Sydney during the 1940s and 1950s. Several other printers like RKO Pictures, F. Cunninghame & Co. Pty. Ltd. (litho) Sydney, Royelltone Prints Pty. Ltd., Victory Publications Pty. Ltd., Melbourne, W & B Litho, Sydney and Simmons Ltd. printed older posters but W.E. Smith and Robert Burton produced most. During the 70s M.A.P.S started producing movie posters and there is an overlap where both Robert Burton and M.A.P.S printed some of the same original posters and both are originals. Other printers like Brown Prior Anderson in Burwood, Victoria, Australia, also printed some of the B grade and R rated Australian posters, and some of the film distributors like Roadshow Australia produced and distributed their own posters.
