An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded International Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More)

Raiders of the Lost Ark, the classic 1981 Steven Spielberg (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) World War II (WWII) Nazi treasure hunting romantic action adventure fantasy thriller ("Indiana Jones - the new hero from the creators of Jaws and Star Wars."; "Story by George Lucas and Philip Kaufman"; "Screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Harrison Ford (as Indiana Jones), Karen Allen, Paul Freeman, Ronald Lacey, John Rhys-Davies, Denholm Elliott, Alfred Molina, and Tutte Lemkow
NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
Artist: Richard Amsel
Important Added Info: Note that this is an "international" style half-sheet (meaning it was printed in the U.S. for use in non-U.S. countries). Note the lack of a printed ratings box. It does have a sniped rating (see below) which means that it was likely used in the U.S., but the poster was originally intended for use elsewhere. Also note that this poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets).

Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. There are creases and some scuffs in the art of Ford's face at right and in some portions of the art in that area (see our image). There are fine creases scattered in some other areas and the back of the right half has slightly darkened. There is a ratings snipe at lower-left which has partially detached from the poster.
