i had this exchange on ebay with someone who really seems a bit of a
posterexpert regarding a pantom of the paradise 1sheet i have up :
Hi - this is not a US 1-sheet. This one was for the Canadian market. The US
1-sheet would have the PG ("Parental Guidance") logo.

I promise you, it is the Canadian version. National Screen Service distributed
the posters to both the USA and Canada. The USA version has the PG logo in the
lower left corner, like this one:

Canadian version does not.

hi, the poster was made in the usa therefor is a US poster , before the 70s a
lot of US 1 sheets were made for south america with the text in spanish , that
doesn't make the posters colombian or venezuelan , they were american 1 sheets
for the south american movie theaters so the phantom of the paradise is an
american poster for the canadian theaters , the poster was not made in canada
thanks, filip

No, that's just nonsense. Movie posters are always referred to by the geography
where they are intended to be used, not where they were manufactured. This is
because, in most cases, it is impossible to determine where a poster was
manufactured. If the US studios started having some posters made in China for
use in the USA, nobody would call these "Chinese movie posters." A poster with
Danish language intended for use in Denmark would be called a "Danish movie
poster," regardless where it was printed. Good luck with your auction, though.
