Below these images are additional sections labeled "INFORMATION," which lists available advertising accessories like posters (with an American size option), trailers, still photographs, synopsis and campaign books; followed by details about J. ARTHUR RANK OVERSEAS FILM DISTRIBUTORS LTD., including their address at 21 Shaftesbury Avenue, London. On the bottom right corner is another section titled "THE STORY IN TEN PICTURES," suggesting that a visual storytelling approach through ten key frames or stills from the film was also part of this promotional package.
