An Original Vintage Theatrical Tri-Folded English Thirty-Sheet Movie Poster (30sh; measures approximately 118" x 256" [300 x 650 cm]) (Learn More) The Deer Hunter, the classic 1978 Michael Cimino (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) English/U.S. Vietnam War military thriller ("One of the most stunning and powerful films of all time."; "One of the most important and powerful films of all time!"; "Story by Michael Cimino & Deric Washburn and Louis Garfinkle & Quinn K. Redeker"; winner of the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Robert De Niro (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), John Cazale (in his final movie role), John Savage, Meryl Streep (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Christopher Walken (winner of the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), and Chuck Aspegren NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Fred Atkins Important Added Info: Note that this 24-sheet is one of a remarkable group of six 24-sheets (and one English 30-sheet) that we are offering in seven separate auctions. These posters (often referred to as "billboard posters") were always pasted to walls or billboards when they were used, so the only ones that survive are the few that didn't get used at the time. But VERY, VERY few 24-sheets survive from any movie from before 1990, because no one thought to save them, and the unused ones were almost always trashed. To give you a sense of how very rare they are, we have held over 1.2 million auctions, and of those, around 75 of them were for 24-sheets, and only a dozen of them were from before 1960! So not only are the seven billboard movie posters offered here extremely rare (and some may be the only remaining example in existence), but they are also some of the very small number of billboard movie posters still in existence period! Note that this thirty-sheet was printed in 12 sections designed to overlap. Also note This thirty-sheet poster was tri-folded only (which means there is one less vertical machine fold than usual). This means the poster has a significantly lesser number of folds than with thirty-sheets folded in the "regular" way, which is nice! Tri-folded thirty-sheets need to be sent in an oversized flat package, which measures roughly 16" x 34", so they cost more to send than regularly folded thirty-sheets, especially if they are sent to non-U.S. addresses. Finally, note that this poster was tri-folded only (which means there is no vertical machine fold) but because it would be more expensive to send flat, it will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good to fine. The poster has pretty minor fold and border wear and has overall likely survived in about as nice condition as one could hope, especially considering the poster's very large size!
