Date Sold 12/23/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 8 Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Italian Photobusta Movie Posters (pbustas; measure 18 1/4" x 26 1/4" [46 x 67 cm]) (Learn More) Mart Crowley's Boys in the Band, the classic 1970 William Friedkin New York City homosexual gay romantic relationship melodrama ("Today is Harold's birthday. This is his present."; "'The Boys in the Band' ...is not a musical."; written and produced by Mart Crowley from his own play, with all the actors from the stage reprising their roles for the screen!) starring Kenneth Nelson (as Michael), Peter White (as Alan), Leonard Frey (as Harold), Cliff Gorman (as Emory), Frederick Combs (as Donald), Laurence Luckinbill (as Hank), Keith Prentice (as Larry), Robert La Tourneaux (as Cowboy), Reuben Greene (as Bernard), and Maud Adams (uncredited in her first movie role as a model!). Note that this was a groundbreaking movie. After the great success of the play version of this, Hollywood decided it was time to make an "honest" movie depicting homosexuality as it really was, and they hired the stage actors to play the same parts in the film, and the script was pretty much the same. They very fortunately hired young director William Friedkin for this movie, and his next movie was The French Connection, followed by The Exorcist, two of the greatest hits of the 1970s! Also note that five of the actors in this film (Nelson, Frey, Prentice, Combs, and Tourneaux) all sadly passed away in the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s and 1990s.

Important Added Info: Note that these posters were folded at one time but have been laying flat for a long time and they will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good. The photobustas were once lightly folded across or down the middle, but they only have a "wave" in that area and not a crease. They have varying amounts of minor border wear and each has a small tear at lower right (see our image). There is some wear along portions of the center vertical wave, but the few defects are not very noticeable or distracting, and they are otherwise generally in pretty nice condition!
