A Group Of 2 Original 1972 Vintage Unfolded Half Subway Movie Poster (measures 29 1/2" x 45" [75 x 114 cm]) (Learn More) Giu la Testa (released in the U.S. in 1972 as "A Fistful of Dynamite" and "Duck, You Sucker"), the 1971 Sergio Leone Italian cowboy spaghetti western Mexican Revolution adventure thriller ("Rod Steiger and James Coburn will blow you apart in 'A Fistful of Dynamite' by the master of adventure Sergio Leone") starring Rod Steiger, James Coburn (as an Irish IRA explosives expert), Romolo Valli, Maria Monti, Rik Battagila, and Franco Graziosi. Note that this movie was initially released in the U.S. under the enigmatic title of "Duck, You Sucker"! I have been told that the title came about because director Sergio Leone titled it so, and no one had the nerve to question WHY he did so, and only after it was first released was it learned that he was under the misunderstanding that "Duck, You Sucker" was a common American idiom! After this, the movie was quickly re-titled "A Fistful of Dynamite". A collector tells us that this story is confirmed on the Sergio Leone Anthology DVD set in a featurette by film historian Christopher Frayling who states that Leone thought 'Duck, You Sucker' was a common American phrase!

Important Added Info: Note that around this time, studios were creating "subway posters" for many releases, which were 45" x 60" horizontally-shaped posters that were glued up on walls all over New York City (hence the name "subway poster"). They also made these smaller "subway" posters which measure approximately half the size of a regular "subway" poster (usually around 29" x 45"), and look like a one-sheet, only bigger, but they have information about one or more specific New York theaters then-currently showing that movie.
