POSTER DESIGN FEATURES: A colourful Australian Daybill dominated by a bright yellow background and illustrated adventure montage. Large portraits of Lee Marvin and Roger Moore sit over British and American flags, surrounded by an elephant, riflemen, boats, explosions, a biplane and action imagery. The red Gothic-style title block creates a strong contrast against the yellow field, giving the poster a classic 1970s adventure-film appearance. The poster artwork is credited to R. Kinyon.
COLLECTOR'S NOTE: Shout at the Devil has excellent crossover appeal through its two leads. Roger Moore was already James Bond when the film was released, appearing between The Man with the Golden Gun and The Spy Who Loved Me, while Lee Marvin was firmly established as a major action star. It was directed by Peter R. Hunt, who had previously directed Moore's Bond predecessor George Lazenby in On Her Majesty's Secret Service. The combination of Moore, Marvin, Wilbur Smith source material and colourful adventure artwork makes this an appealing Australian Daybill even though the film itself sits outside the highest-value collector titles.
