POSTER DESIGN FEATURES: Original Australian daybill featuring a bright beach photograph of the four female leads in colourful 1980s swimwear carrying a male beachgoer. The yellow script title and ’84 pennant sit prominently above the cast, with the beach and ocean backdrop reinforcing the film’s Fort Lauderdale holiday setting. The photographic design and pastel colouring give the poster a distinctly 1980s summer-comedy aesthetic.

COLLECTOR'S NOTE: Original Australian daybill for the 1984 remake of Where the Boys Are, produced by Allan Carr and notable as the first film released by the newly formed Tri-Star Pictures. The Australian daybill is a less commonly encountered format than the one sheet, with this example retaining its original cinema-issued folds and Robert Burton printer identification.
