Design & Features: Dynamic illustrated montage in vivid orange and red hues featuring Lee Van Cleef surrounded by multiple revolvers and action poses. Strong typographic composition with bold magenta title lettering. Includes the “M” classification and United Artists logo at base. This Australian version follows the European artwork style but is more minimal, typical of 1970s daybills.

Collectors’ Note: Return of Sabata is the final film in the “Sabata Trilogy,” following Sabata (1969) and Adiós, Sabata (1970), and remains a favourite among Spaghetti Western enthusiasts. The Australian daybill is highly collectable due to its striking design and Lee Van Cleef’s enduring cult status. Increasingly rare to find in clean, unrestored condition. Values continue to rise alongside renewed global interest in Euro-Westerns and 1970s action cinema memorabilia.
