An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Style B One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, the 1974 Michael Cimino bank robbery action crime thriller ("He Has Exactly Seven Minutes to Get Rich Quick!"; "Meet Thunderbolt and Lightfoot... they have exactly seven minutes to get rich quick!"; "Thunderbolt... The man with the reputation. Lightfoot... The kid who's about to make one!") starring Clint Eastwood (in the title role "as Thunderbolt"), Jeff Bridges (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; in the title role "as Lightfoot"), George Kennedy ("as Leary"), Gary Busey (in an early role), and Jack Dodson. Note that Michael Cimino was an unknown who Clint Eastwood hired to co-write the screenplay for "Magnum Force" (with John Milius), and Eastwood was so impressed by Cimino that he then hired him to direct and write the screenplay for this, his next movie, which proved very successful at the box office, and led to Cimino being hired to direct "The Deer Hunter"!

Artist: Birney Lettick Important Added Info: 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 is fine surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines (typical of high-gloss posters of this period) and a few light creases scattered in various areas. There is minor separation in the upper crossfold. Learn More about condition grades
