The poster is for a film called *The Mango Tree*, and its subject heading points to Australian performers, so the cast is the most notable feature here. The record gives a 1977 date and a color poster, but it does not name the actors, director, or studio. That date falls within the period of renewed Australian feature filmmaking that began in the early 1970s, when government support helped bring local stories and performers to cinema screens. Posters from that era often leaned on a single striking image, such as a tree or landscape, to suggest a film's mood, and this one invites viewers to read the title itself as its central motif.
