An Original Vintage Theatrical Tri-Folded International Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81") (Learn More)

The Day of the Locust, the 1975 John Schlesinger Los Angeles Hollywood California film-making corruption melodrama ("By Train, By Car, By Bus They Came to Hollywood... In Search of a Dream."; "The day of the locust is coming!"; "Based on the novel by Nathanael West") starring Donald Sutherland, Karen Black, William Atherton, Burgess Meredith (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), Richard Dysart, John Hillerman, and Geraldine Page ("as Big Sister")

Artist: Byrd
Important Added Info: Note that this poster was stamped "FOREIGN" which means it was printed for use outside the United States (there would also have been posters stamped "DOMESTIC" for use within the United States). Often, the "FOREIGN" posters would have a different (sometimes racier) image than that for the one used in the United States. Also note that this three-sheet was printed in 1 section. Finally, note this three-sheet poster was tri-folded only (which means there is one less vertical machine fold than usual). This means the poster has a significantly lesser number of folds than with three-sheets folded in the "regular" way, which is nice! Tri-folded three-sheets need to be sent in an oversized flat package, which measures roughly 13" x 30", so they cost more to send than regularly folded three-sheets, especially if they are sent to non-U.S. addresses.

Condition: very good. There is a circular stain in the top left corner (partially in the image and partially in the blank border), and a smaller stain to the right of that. There are some creases, smudges, and faint stains on the back of the part of the poster that was on the outside when it was fully folded.
