Description

A Fistful of Dollars (United Artists, 1967). One Sheet (27" X 41"). A remake of famed Japanese director Akira Kurosawa's samurai classic, Yojimbo (1961), this, the first of the "Spaghetti Westerns" to receive widespread international release, was also the first in Sergio Leone's "Man with No Name" trilogy. Clint Eastwood stars in one of his most iconic, and most memorable roles, as a cynical gunman who outwits two rival gangs in a small border town. Although legal disputes delayed the film's U.S. release for several years (Kurosawa sued over breach of copyright), it eventually made a superstar out of Eastwood and made the "spaghetti Western" a popular genre. This highly desirable one sheet had pinholes in the corners and fold wear, but these slight defects have been rendered virtually invisible by expertly-applied professional restoration, resulting in a poster that is extremely attractive and displayable. Don't let this one get past you! Very Fine on Linen.
