BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! The Deadly Bees 1966 Original Australian Daybill Movie Poster
This is an original Australian daybill movie poster for the 1966 horror film The Deadly Bees. Produced by Amicus Productions and released by Paramount Pictures, the film was directed by Freddie Francis with a screenplay by Robert Bloch and Anthony Marriott. The poster features prominent billing for stars Suzanna Leigh, Frank Finlay, and Guy Doleman. The graphic design consists of a vibrant yellow field with stylized artwork depicting a woman in distress under attack by bees, a secondary illustration of a man, and the film title in a bold red bubble font. The bottom credit block includes the Paramount Pictures logo and specifies the Technicolor process. A faint red printer’s credit at the lower margin identifies the poster as printed by Robert Burton Pty. Ltd., Sydney.
Dimensions: approximately 13 x 30 inches.
Condition report:
The poster is in good to very good vintage condition. It is folded as issued with three distinct horizontal fold lines. Visible wear includes light handling creases, minor softening of the edges, and small nicks typical for its age. Small pinholes are present in the upper corners from original theater display. The reverse side shows areas of light foxing and localized staining, primarily near the center fold, which does not significantly affect the front graphics.
