I'm high-powered director Robert Altman, and I'm here on location filming my latest high-powered movie, 'The Long Goodbye!'"; "The film is full of fun-murder, maiming, drunkenness, infidelity, topless yoga freaks, four-letter words- EVERYTHING!

One is a cat. The other is a murderer.' -Elliott Gould as Philip Marlowe"; "'Nothing says goodbye like a bullet...'- Philip Marlowe"; "*Philip Marlowe - The greatest of all 'private eye' characters - created by Raymond Chandler"; "Based on the novel by Raymond Chandler"; with music by John Williams) starring Elliott Gould, Nina Van Pallandt, Sterling Hayden, Mark Rydell, Henry Gibson, David Arkin, Jim Bouton, and Arnold Schwarzenegger (uncredited in his second movie role as a hood!). Note that this film was first released in early 1973 but withdrawn shortly after so that the marketing could be revised and new posters created for a late 1973 release.

Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It was likely compressed at top while rolled at one time, leaving some partial vertical creases that are approximately 5-6" in length (see our image). There is a dot stain under the tagline at upper center and there are a few small creases and scuffs scattered in various areas. Learn More about condition grades
