International movie posters are important not only as a way of connecting the film with audiences during a cinema release, but in giving insights into how an Australian film was marketed overseas. This is seen in the Czech poster for Bush Christmas, which features a tiny cherub nestled among the titles – one of several quirky details that add a spirited, festive touch to the poster. Also interesting is that this poster was printed in 1970, meaning the cinema release for the film in the Czech Republic was several decades after the 1947 Australian-British comedy starring Chips Rafferty was actually made. Fun fact: there was a remake of Bush Christmas in 1983, which was notable for being Nicole Kidman's first feature film role.
