COLLECTOR’S NOTE: An original Australian daybill for It’s My Turn (1980), starring Jill Clayburgh, Michael Douglas and Charles Grodin. Directed by Claudia Weill and written by Eleanor Bergstein, the film explores career, independence and relationships through a successful mathematics professor whose carefully ordered life takes an unexpected romantic turn. The Australian daybill’s strong photographic presentation of Clayburgh and Douglas gives it additional appeal for collectors of either star and early Michael Douglas cinema material.
