Design & Features: A bold two-tone sepia-orange composition featuring John Wayne, Ann-Margret, and Rod Taylor against a Western backdrop. The central image showcases a posse of riders silhouetted in desert dust, capturing the film’s themes of greed, loyalty, and redemption. The typography and framing are classic 1970s Australian minimalist style, with the “For General Exhibition” rating symbol in black.

Collectors’ Note: The Train Robbers marks one of John Wayne’s later Westerns and features Australian actor Rod Taylor in a key supporting role — a connection that enhances the collectibility of Australian-release daybills. This poster’s warm duotone palette and strong illustrative elements make it highly desirable among collectors of both John Wayne memorabilia and 1970s cinema art.
