Movie Synopsis
Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) is one of the most beloved British romantic comedy films ever produced, combining witty humour, heartfelt emotion and memorable performances into a timeless cinematic classic. Directed by Mike Newell and written by Richard Curtis, the film became a worldwide phenomenon upon its release, earning critical acclaim, multiple Academy Award nominations and launching Hugh Grant to international stardom.
The story follows the charming but commitment-shy Charles (Hugh Grant), whose life seems to revolve around attending the weddings of his friends. At the first wedding he meets the captivating American Carrie (Andie MacDowell), and the pair instantly develop a connection. Their paths continue to cross at a series of social gatherings, each encounter bringing them closer together while circumstances, timing and personal choices continually keep them apart.
As Charles navigates four weddings and one unexpected funeral, he is surrounded by an unforgettable ensemble of friends, each bringing warmth, humour and emotional depth to the story. The outstanding supporting cast includes Kristin Scott Thomas, Simon Callow, John Hannah, Charlotte Coleman, James Fleet, David Bower and Rowan Atkinson, whose memorable performance as an inexperienced priest provides one of the film's funniest scenes.
Although the film is celebrated for its romantic storyline and sharp dialogue, it also explores themes of friendship, love, grief, commitment and the unpredictable nature of relationships. Richard Curtis's screenplay expertly balances comedy with genuine emotion, allowing audiences to laugh one moment and reflect the next. The moving funeral sequence, featuring W. H. Auden's poem "Funeral Blues", remains one of the most memorable and emotionally powerful moments in modern British cinema.
Produced on a relatively modest budget, Four Weddings and a Funeral became one of the biggest independent film success stories of its era. It grossed well over US$240 million worldwide, making it one of the highest-grossing British films of the 1990s. Its enormous commercial success paved the way for many subsequent British romantic comedies and cemented Richard Curtis's reputation as one of the genre's most influential writers.
The film received four Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay, while Hugh Grant won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. Its enduring popularity continues decades after its original release thanks to its clever script, relatable characters and timeless exploration of romance and friendship.
This original Australian One Sheet movie poster captures the charm and elegance that made the film such a worldwide favourite. Authentic posters from the original theatrical release are highly sought after by collectors of romantic comedy movie posters, fans of Hugh Grant, Richard Curtis and British cinema, as well as collectors seeking genuine 1990s original movie posters. Whether displayed in a home theatre, office or private collection, this authentic cinema poster is a wonderful piece of film history celebrating one of the greatest romantic comedies ever made.

While the industry does have a few condition rating standards, there is no movie poster condition rating system that has become the accepted standard world wide. This unfortunately makes condition terms vary from movie poster dealer to movie poster dealer. Terms like Mint, Near Mint, Very Fine, Fine, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor, seem to be universal to most condition rating standards, but most standards still lack definition about what and how many flaws/defects/damage defines a specific condition level. For more information on how Movie Posters Australia grades the condition of its movie posters, daybills, lobby cards and other ephemera please see out Movie Poster Condition and Grading page.
In the early days of cinema, posters were primarily hand-drawn and printed in various sizes, often tailored to fit the available space in theaters or promotional areas. In the United States, the "One Sheet" size (some times called '1 Sheet' or '1SH' approximately 27" x 41", became the standard during the 1930s. This size was manageable for theater display and suited the needs of a growing film industry.
Different countries developed their own poster sizes and styles, which also changed sometimes over the decades, and were influenced by local preferences and practical considerations, like available paper sheet sizes and how many posters could be printed on one sheet.
In Australia, the most popular size, the Daybill, has evolved over the decades. Australian Daybills sizes in chronological order are:
- Long Daybills (15" x 40"), from 1920's to pre-WW2 or pre-1941, were printed two to a sheet, longer than current Daybill versions. There were size variances in width from 14.5" to 15" and in height from 39.5" to 40".
- War Time Daybill (10" x 30"), during WW2, for a short time to conserve paper during a war time shortage, four Daybills were printed on one sheet. Information from Press Sheets also referred to these War-Time sizes as "New Size Daybills".
- Post-War Daybill (13" x 30"), this 13" x 30" Post-War size carried through until the 1980's, but also varied in size from 13"-14" x 29.75"-30.25".
- Post-80's Daybill (33cm x 66cm, or 13" x 26"), over a few years in the late 80's, the size changed again to a metric 33cm x 66cm, although these have also varied from 32-33cm x 64.5-66cm. New sizes from the late 80's were created, sometimes called a Mini Daybill or Mini Poster, in 9" x 12", 11" x 17" and 13" x 20".
In the UK, the somewhat unique 'Quad' poster, measuring 30" x 40", became popular, offering a larger landscape format that allowed for more elaborate designs.
In Japan, movie poster sizes were smaller, such as the "B2" (20" x 28"), which suited the more compact living environment of larger cities, smaller advertising spaces, and unique aesthetic sensibilities.
The 1970s and 1980s, witnessed the rise of the "six-sheet" (81" x 81") format, reflecting a trend towards larger and more visually impactful advertising.
Overall, the variation in movie poster sizes across different countries and decades highlights the interplay between technological printing advancements, paper resource availability, paper sheet size changes, cultural preferences, and the evolving nature of movie marketing.
At Movie Posters Australia we tag each poster we sell with a 'size' and 'condition' description at the very top of the page for our customers to easily see. There may however be some slight variations to sizes by up one inch due to variations in production and guillotine methods by printers over the decades.
