POSTER DESIGN FEATURES: Original Australian daybill featuring a predominantly deep-blue celestial design, with E.T. and Elliott's fingertips represented as constellations reaching towards a brilliant central star above the curved Earth.

COLLECTOR'S NOTE: An original Australian theatrical daybill for Steven Spielberg's landmark 1982 film E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. Importantly, the photographed BB17-004 is the 1982 first-release Australian daybill, rather than the later 1985 Australian re-release daybill currently seen in the collector market. Heritage also documents the 1982 Australian daybill and attributes the artwork to celebrated movie-poster artist John Alvin.
