An Original Vintage Theatrical Tri-Folded Domestic Twenty-Four-Sheet Movie Poster (24sh; measures approximately 9' x 20') (Learn More)

The Boston Strangler, the 1968 Richard Fleischer Massachusetts serial killer murder mystery crime thriller ("Why did 13 women willingly open their doors to the Boston Strangler? This is a true and remarkable motion picture."; "'Come in.' He did. Thirteen times."; "The people and events depicted are based on fact!"; "Don't expect what you expected! This is not the story of just one man or just one city - but of everyone, everywhere. It is not so much concerned with the violent death of eleven women - as with the violence that threatens the lives of all of us. It is not a slick story where the good guys hunt and trap the bad guy. Because here, as in life, no one is completely bad - or completely good. It is not a tale where justice triumphs in the end. Because for Albert de Salvo, the self-confessed Boston Strangler, there can be no such thing as justice. It is not fiction. The people and events are all based on fact. It is not just a movie. It is a landmark in motion picture history. And, above all, it is not what you expect."; based on the real life rapist-killer, Albert DeSalvo, who terrorized Boston in the 1960s, "Based on the book by Gerold Frank") starring Tony Curtis (in the title role as the Boston Strangler, Albert DeSalvo), Henry Fonda, George Kennedy, Mike Kellin, Murray Hamilton, and Sally Kellerman

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this poster was stamped "DOM" which means it was printed for use within the United States (there would also have been posters stamped "FOR" for use outside the United States). Also note that this twenty-four sheet was printed in 12 sections designed to overlap. Finally, note this 24-sheet poster was folded in a way that makes it resemble a tri-folded six-sheet (only much larger, of course, as there are more sections). But the length and width of the folded 24-sheet is just about the same as that of a folded six-sheet or three-sheet. This means that this 24-sheet needs to be sent in an oversized flat package, which will measure roughly 16" x 38", and approximately 2" high, and it will cost more to send than a regular sized package.

Condition: very good to fine. There is some darkening on the back of the very small part of the poster that was on the outside when it was fully folded, but it has little effect on the front, and otherwise, the poster is in pretty nice condition, with minor fold and border wear. Please look at our super-sized image to get a sense of the exact condition of this poster.
