Hutton U.S./Yugoslavian World War II (WWII) military crime action comedy ("In 70mm And Full Stereophonic Sound"; "They set out to rob a bank... and damn near won a war instead!"; "They had a message for the Army: 'Up the brass!'"; "Never have so few taken so many for so much."; "Written by Troy Kennedy Martin.") starring Clint Eastwood (in the title role as Private Kelly), Telly Savalas, Don Rickles, Carroll O'Connor, and Donald Sutherland NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Jack Davis Important Added Info: Note that this poster features great artwork by Jack Davis (famous E.C. Comics, Mad Magazine, and TV Guide illustrator). This style of poster is far more rare than the several other styles of poster that were created for this Clint Eastwood war movie. We have only seen a few of these posters in the past 20 years, and each time they sold for multiple hundreds of dollars! 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 to very good. There are some pinholes around the edges. It is otherwise in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
