Popi, the 1969 Arthur Hiller Puerto Rico family comedy ("'Better to drown in the ocean than in the sewer."' "Popi had a dream, and the only way he could make it come true was to put his two boys in a rowboat and set them adrift in the ocean."; "'You want these kids? I give them to you. I sign the papers.'"; "'Good kids. Wonderful boys. I'm not kidding. I give them to you. I mean it. You don't take them, I put them in the rowboat all alone in the ocean.'"; about a poor Puerto Rican single father with two young sons, who devises a wacky scheme to have them pretend to be orphaned Cuban refugees, so they can be adopted by a rich Anglo family!) starring Alan Arkin, Rita Moreno ("as Lupe"), Miguel Alejandro, Reuben Figueroa (billed as "and introducing Miguel Alejandro & Ruben Figueroa"), John Harkins, Arny Freeman, Jean Tompkins, and Anthony Holland

Important Added Info: Note that the poster in this auction is one of several one-sheets we are auctioning in separate auctions that have something unusual about them. It is that all of these one-sheets (which date from 1967 to 1973) were never folded, which is VERY UNUSUAL for pre-1980 posters. They were found together, and you likely could never find another example of these posters that were never folded. We are 100% certain they are authentic one-sheets that were printed between 1967 and 1973!

Note that the poster in this auction is one of 110 one-sheets we are auctioning in separate auctions that have something unusual about them. It is that all of these one-sheets (which date from 1968 to 1973) were never folded, which is VERY UNUSUAL for pre-1980 posters. They were found together, and you likely could never find another example of these posters that were never folded. We are 100% certain they are authentic one-sheets that were printed between 1968 and 1973! Note that this is the final part of this unusual collection. The first part (which contained 81 similar posters from different titles) was auctioned by us on February 13th. After these 110 are auctioned, we will have no more of these posters from this collection!
