Auction History Result 5b315 FEARLESS FRANK/MADIGAN'S MILLIONS 1sh '70 wacky comedy double-bill! Date Sold 8/10/2010 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) From the 1970 double-bill release of Fearless Frank (also released as "Frank's Greatest Adventure"), the 1967 Philip Kaufman super hero fantasy comedy starring Jon Voight (in the title role as "Fearless Frank"), Monique van Vooren, Severn Darden, Joan Darling, and Lou Gilbert. Note that this was one of two movies Jon Voight appeared in prior to "Midnight Cowboy". One was "Hour of the Gun", where he had a minor role, and the other was this movie, where he was the star. In between those two movies, he had appeared in a bunch of TV episodes. Once "Midnight Cowboy" became a huge success in 1969, the distributors of this forgotten movie re-released it to theaters in 1970, billing Voight as "that star of 'Midnight Cowboy' rides again...", with a giant image of Voight in a super hero costume. Finally, note that while this movie is completely forgotten, both Jon Voight and director Philip Kaufman went on to long distinguished careers! AND El Millon de Madigan (released in the U.S. in 1970, after Hoffman's great success in "The Graduate", as "Madigan's Millions"), the 1968 Stanley Prager/Giorgio Gentili Spanish/Italian/U.S. detective crime comedy ("The most incredible new comedy ever laughed at!"; "'Super Sleuth'") starring Dustin Hoffman ("in a Hilarious Post-'Graduate' role..."), Elsa Martinelli, Cesar Romero ("as Madigan"), Gustavo Rojo, and Fernando Hilbeck. Note that a knowledgeable collector tells us that, while this film was released after "The Graduate", it was actually filmed before that classic movie and this was Hoffman's second role. This low-budget film was quickly picked up by an American distributor to cash in on the newfound fame of Hoffman. Also, Stanley Prager is usually credited as the sole director on U.S. items while Giorgio Gentili (billed as "Dan Ash") is listed as the sole director on Italian items.
