Everybody."; "Based on the novel by Ken Kesey"; winner of the Best Picture Academy Award; about a man in a mental institution and one of the only cases where a great novel was made into an equally great movie, and they changed it around, to boot!) starring Jack Nicholson (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; as Randall P. McMurphy), Louise Fletcher (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; as Nurse Ratched), William Redfield (as Mr. Harding), Danny De Vito (as Martini; in his fifth movie role!), Christopher Lloyd (as Taber; in his very first movie role!), Scatman Crothers (as Turkle), Will Sampson (as Chief Bromden), Brad Dourif (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; as Billy Bibbit), Sydney Lassick (as Charley Cheswick), Vincent Schiavelli (as Fredrickson), William Duell (as Sefelt), Josip Elic (as Bancini), Mews Small (billed as "Marya Small"; as Candy), Michael Berryman (as Ellis), Delos V. Smith Jr. (as Scanlon), and Dr. Dean R. Brooks (as Dr. John Spivey). Note that this was the first time in 42 years that one movie won the four top Academy Awards!

NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some very minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). Note that we gave this condition grade to a very few posters that were in pretty good condition prior to linenbacking, but which were not all that well linenbacked, and which could be fairly easily re-backed with only minor additional restoration. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and creases and fine surface paper loss across many foldlines (typical of high-gloss posters of this period). There were creases and some tears around the edges of the poster and some faint scuffs in the image. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed. You can see some signs of the restoration from close up, but from any distance away, it is not distracting. Learn More about condition grades
