An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Paper Banner (measures 24" x 59 1/2" [61 x 151 cm]) (Learn More) Point Blank, the classic 1967 John Boorman crime film noir ("That 'Dirty Dozen' man is back!"; "There are two kinds of people in his up-tight world: his victims and his women. And sometimes you can't tell them apart."; "Based on the Novel 'The Hunter' by Richard Stark") starring Lee Marvin, Angie Dickinson, Keenan Wynn, Carroll O'Connor, Lloyd Bochner, Michael Strong, John Vernon, Sharon Acker, and John McMurtry 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 this poster has been heavily trimmed (see below) and it now measures 24" x 59 1/2" [61 x 151 cm]. Also note that in the 1910s through 1930s, studios would make large cloth banners that movie theaters could hang up above their lobbies (or above their entrances). In the early 1940s, they changed to making paper banners (perhaps there was a cloth shortage during World War II). At first, they were made of one-sheet-like paper, and they didn't survive very well, and they apparently were not very popular, because very few survive. At some point around 1946, they changed to making them out of a heavy paper stock, similar to that used for 40x60s, but measuring 24" x 80". Many people think these became very popular at drive-in theaters, which were then expanding at a major pace throughout the country. The paper banners were very popular until the late 1960s, and then far fewer were made (perhaps corresponding to the decline in popularity of drive-in theaters). We have been consigned a wonderful collection of 133 of these paper banners, and we are auctioning them all, in 133 separate auctions. This is a great opportunity to acquire one or many of these rare posters! Condition: poor. Someone trimmed off the left 20" of the poster, because they solely wanted the rest of it to display. It DOES display pretty well in that sense, but please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept that the left 20 1/2" are missing. Learn More about condition grades
