An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More)

Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song, the 1971 Melvin Van Peebles black African American blaxploitation crime thriller ("You Bled My Momma - You Bled My Poppa - But You Wont Bleed Me"; "Rated X by an all-white jury"; considered to be the first 'blaxploitation' movie as it preceded 'Shaft' by a few months!) starring Melvin Van Peebles (in the title role as Sweetback), Simon Chuckster, Hubert Scales, John Dullaghan, and West Gale. Note that most reference sites refer to this movie's title as being "Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song", but the first release U.S. posters we have seen all refer to it simply as "Sweet Sweetback". It WAS released in some non-U.S. countries under the longer title. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.
If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info:

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had fine surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines (typical of high-gloss posters of this period) and a few tiny tears in the top quarter of the vertical foldline. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Note that the restorer left a tiny bit of excess linen around all four sides of the poster (they left a small border in order to protect the poster from handling damage, but they did not leave a larger border, to allow it to more easily fit in a frame). Note that when the poster was framed, it received some stains in the excess right linen, but they are in the excess and not in the poster itself (and of course, they will not show when the poster is framed again).
