An Original 1973 (from the first release of this movie in Australia) Vintage Theatrical Folded Australian One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 39 3/4" [69 x 101 cm]) (Learn More) the theatrical release of Duel, the 1971 Steven Spielberg made-for-TV trucker crime action thriller ("The most bizarre murder weapon ever used!"; "The killer's weapon a 40 ton truck! The victim's only defense a startling trap!") starring Dennis Weaver, Jacqueline Scott, Eddie Firestone, Lou Frizzell, Gene Dynarski, and Lucille Benson. Note that this film was released theatrically (and with a longer running time) outside of the U.S. 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 Australian one-sheet, which measures 27" x 39 3/4" [69 x 101 cm], has a pink top tagline area and border. It was printed by M.A.P.S. There is another style that looks the same but has a blue top tagline area and border, and that one was printed by Robert Burton. The leading expert on daybills from this period believes that they were both printed for the first release, so we identify them as "pink style" and "blue style". This auction is for the "pink" style. 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 "Steven Spielberg". Condition: very good. There are some faint stains in the right of the bottom border that extend into the end of the word "Technicolor". There are pinholes around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
