An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Forty by Sixty Movie Poster (40x60; measures 40" x 60" [102 x 152 cm]) (Learn More) Dirty Harry, the classic 1971 Don Siegel San Francisco California police detective action crime thriller ("Detective Harry Callahan. He doesn't break murder cases. He smashes them."; "You don't assign him to murder cases. You just turn him loose."; "Dirty Harry and the homicidal maniac. Harry's the one with the badge."; about an unorthodox cop who tracks down a psychotic murderer; based on the real-life Zodiac killer who terrorized San Francisco, California in the 1960s) starring Clint Eastwood (in the title role as Harry Callahan), Harry Guardino, Reni Santoni, Andrew Robinson (in the role of his life as the crazed psycho killer!; billed as "Andy Robinson"), John Larch, John Vernon ("as 'The Mayor'"), Lyn Edington, and Bill Couch 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 Warner Bros. created three different 40x60s for this classic movie! One has the great colorful image of Eastwood with his gun in motion (and the great taglines above it). One of the others was a special "Life Magazine" style (about the story in that magazine about this movie), and the other was a special "Time Magazine" style (which reproduced part of the Time Magazine article about the movie). All three of these posters are extremely rare! We have only auctioned one of each in the past (the "regular" style sold for $3,200, the "Life Magazine" style sold for $2,324, and the "Time Magazine" style sold for $2,287!), and now we have been consigned a second example of the "regular" style! Finally, note that there is a sticker on the back of the bottom of the poster that indicates that it was graded by "MPGrading", and it received a grade of "fine", but of course, their grading scale is not the same as ours (see below). Condition: good. The poster had many creases and small tears scattered down the left and right, and someone put wide clear tape on the back of many of those areas, and at the top of the top of the right blank border, they slightly folded over a small amount of the clear tape to the front. They also put extra clear tape on the back of the corners and on the back of a 2" tear in the center of the top border. The poster has creases and scuffs scattered throughout the image. Over the years, the clear tape has yellowed. In spite of all these defects, the poster could absolutely be displayed and enjoyed as it is, and of course, one could choose to have a restorer remove the tape and back the poster and perform restoration to the creases and scuffs scattered in the image. As noted above, this is an extremely rare poster! The only other example that we have auctioned also had many defects and received the same condition grade. Learn More about condition grades
