An Original 1972 (from the first release of this movie in the U.K.) Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked English One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 40" [69 x 102 cm]) (Learn More)

Harold and Maude, the classic 1971 Hal Ashby romantic May-December black comedy (about a depressed, death-obsessed 20-year-old man-child who spends his free time attending funerals and staging fake suicides in front of his mother, and meets a joyous 79 year old woman who helps him learn to enjoy life) starring Ruth Gordon (in the title role as Maude), Bud Cort (in the title role as Harold), Vivian Pickles, Cyril Cusack, Charles Tyner, Ellen Geer, and Eric Christmas. Note that this film features a memorable soundtrack by Cat Stevens!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that just about every collector agrees that this poster has the best poster design for this classic black comedy. The same art was used on the British quad, but for that poster it was black and white. It was also used for some non-U.S. countries in black and white or color, but this is the only poster that has the color art and all English text on it, making it extremely desirable for collectors (and it is very rare, and the only time we ever previously auctioned it in all our years of auctioning was also a linenbacked example, and that one sold for $535!).

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had minor wear on the folds. It had some creases in the top right white background area. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
