An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded South African Movie Poster (measures 26 3/4" x 40" [68 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Per un Pugno di Dollari (released in the U.S. in 1967 as "A Fistful of Dollars"), the classic 1964 Sergio Leone (billed as "Bob Robertson") German/Italian/Spanish spaghetti cowboy western action thriller ("In his own way he is, perhaps, the most dangerous man who ever lived!"; "'A Fistful of Dollars' is the first motion picture of its kind. It won't be the last!"; "He makes no friends - a few enemies - a few dollars - and none of them last!"; "This is the man with no name. Danger fits him like a tight black leather glove!"; "Introducing the man with no name! He's going to trigger a whole new style in adventure. This man with no name is played by Clint Eastwood."; "This short cigar belongs to the man with no name. This long gun belongs to the man with no name. This poncho belongs to the man with no name."; with music by Ennio Morricone; based on the classic Japanese Akira Kurosawa film "Yojimbo") starring Clint Eastwood, Gian Maria Volonte (billed on some items as "Johnny Wels"), Marianne Koch, Wolfgang Lukschy (billed as "W. Lukschy"), Sieghardt Rupp (billed as "S. Rupp"), Joe Edger, Margarita Lozano, and Jose Calvo NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we feel certain that this poster is from the first South African release of this movie, but we can't say for certain when that was. This movie was first released in most countries in either 1966 or 1967, so we imagine it is likely from one of those two years. The poster has a "rating" (which reads "Suggested For Mature Audiences"), and that might have been a U.S. rating, because many South African posters from this time period look like they were created by blowing up U.S. newspaper ads and then adding ratings, which may have been the case with this poster. There is an additional interesting clue to the date of this poster. Written on the back in marker is "SUN: 12 SEPT.". This fell in 1965 and 1971. We don't think it is possible the poster could be from 1965, so the date would indicate it was used in 1971. But of course, this could be a 1967 poster that was reused in 1971, or 1971 could be the first South African release of this movie. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. In any event, we have never auctioned this poster before, and it is surely very rare! Note that all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction were consigned to us by legendary French dealer/collector Dominique Besson. Dominique Besson started collecting movie posters in 1981, and became a dealer in French and European posters in 1994, and has remained as a top dealer ever since! But in addition, 30 years ago, Dominique began collecting U.S. one-sheets, first those with Saul Bass art, and then adding Alfred Hitchcock posters, then Humphrey Bogart, and he finally ended up collecting in an amazing total of 47 different categories, purchasing the posters from all over the world! Now the time has come to sell this wonderful collection, and Dominique has chosen eMoviePoster.com to do so, through our auctions! As noted above, all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I come from this more remarkable collection (the 28 that do not were consigned to us by other collectors, and are clearly marked). This is not all of the Dominique Besson collection we are auctioning. In addition, there are approximately 200 more folded one-sheets that will be in Part IV of this special auction (ones from the 1970s to present), and there are approximately 100 unfolded one-sheets that will be in Part III (including many great ones). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase folded one-sheets (all of which have had no professional restoration) from one of the greatest one-sheet collections assembled! Note that this one-sheet is from the category that Dominique Besson collected on that he labeled "Clint Eastwood". Condition: good. The poster has a date written on the back of the upper right blank border in green marker, and it bled through to the front, and there is also transfer from it in the lower right blank border. The poster was lightly folded in half several extra times and there are many creases and scuffs scattered throughout the poster (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
