An Original 1978 (from the first release of this movie in Japan) Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Advance Japanese "B2" Movie Poster (measures 20 1/4" x 28 5/8" [51 x 73 cm]) (Learn More) The Harder They Come, the classic 1973 Perry Henzell Jamaican reggae music action crime thriller ("With a piece in his hand He takes on the man!"; "He makes woman and the charts and is on top with both."; "Rebel WITH a cause!!"; "Be warned: This is more than a film made for lovers of reggae, much more.") starring Jimmy Cliff (the famous reggae music singer), Janet Barkley, Carl Bradshaw, Ras Daniel Hartman, Basil Keane, and The Maytals. Note that this low budget movie was given a U.S. release in 1973 with two very strange one-sheets: one advertised it as a "blaxploitation movie" (very deceptively) with art by John Solie, and the other was a bland "reviews" one-sheet with very little image. But then the movie proved to be a cult hit, and the following year it was given an arthouse release by Reel Theatre, along with a one-sheet with a striking image of Jimmy Cliff singing into a microphone. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an advance Japanese B2 poster (note the "4 3" at the bottom of the poster). It has been overprinted in the bottom section for a showing at the Parco Theater chain in 1978 (we have never auctioned this particular poster before!). Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has creases scattered in various areas (especially in the lower half) and there are a few edge defects. It is otherwise in pretty nice condition.
