Dawn of the Dead Theatrical Release Clippings from Switzerland

"Zombi: Le crépuscule des morts vivants" newspaper clippings for the screenings and theatrical release of Dawn of the Dead in Switzerland.

After having consulted many ads in many Swiss newspapers covering many cities, 17 to be precise, I couldn't help but notice that two different prints actually circulated in Switzerland. The first one was released on November 30th 1978 and had English Language with German and French Subtitles (E/d/f). The second one appears to have surfaced on November 27th 1980 and had French Language. The "E/d/f" print would be screened in German speaking cantons of Switzerland while the French language one in French speaking cantons.
