Auction History Result 7g342 HARDER THEY COME 1sh '73 Jimmy Cliff, reggae music, rare John Solie art! Date Sold 1/3/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1973 Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Harder They Come, the classic 1973 Perry Henzell Jamaican reggae music action crime thriller ("With a piece in his hand He takes on the man!"; "He makes woman and the charts and is on top with both."; "Rebel WITH a cause!!"; "Be warned: This is more than a film made for lovers of reggae, much more.") starring Jimmy Cliff (the famous reggae music singer), Janet Barkley, Carl Bradshaw, Ras Daniel Hartman, Basil Keane, and The Maytals. Note that this low budget movie was given a U.S. release in 1973 with two very strange one-sheets: one advertised it as a "blaxploitation movie" (very deceptively) with art by John Solie, and the other was a bland "reviews" one-sheet with very little image. But then the movie proved to be a cult hit, and the following year it was given an arthouse release by Reel Theatre, along with a one-sheet with a striking image of Jimmy Cliff singing into a microphone. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: John Solie Important Added Info: Note that we rarely ever see this poster! We had believed that the only poster for the first release of this film was the rather boring review style poster until we saw this one! This poster features John Solie art that makes the movie seem more like an action blaxploitation film than a reggae music film! Condition: good. There is marker writing on the back of the poster that bleeds through to the front at lower right. There are creases and smudges throughout the poster from it being roughly handled at one time and there are a few 2" and smaller tears around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
