DOG DAY AFTERNOON / U.S. Half-Sheet Poster NSS# 75/189 -~ WARNER BROS. PICTURES ~ 1976
This great poster . from the cult-classic 70's comedy/drama, is in excellent condition. There is minor corner, edge and surface wear. It has always been ROLLED - never folded.
This stylized poster, created by popular Hollywood Movie Poster graphics artist BILL GOLD, uses a bright orange background to combine two images: an artist's drawing of the "circus sideshow" at the crowded bank with a helicopter flying overhead and a great posed photo of the film's star AL PACINO, leaning on a long gift box that's tied with a bow.
The poster prominently features stylized text which explains the film's premise:
"The robbery should have taken 10 Minutes. 4 hours later, the bank was like a circus sideshow. 8 hours later, it was the hottest thing on Live TV... 12 hours later, it was history.
And It's All True."
This hugely-popular film about a clumsy bank robber who needs money to pay for his boyfriend's sex-change operation, also stars JOHN CAZALE , JAMES BRODERICK and CHARLES DURNING. Directed by SIDNEY LUMET

The accompanying photos show this actual item. Sometimes internet images tend to blur oranges and reds so this poster may appear a bit blurry here but the actual poster is sharp, bright and clear. Additional and / or clearer photos will be sent, if available, by email request within 24 hours.. There's some uneven shadowing on the accompanying photo which isn't on the actual item which is consistantly bright and clear. The words "Percepto Sample Image" which may appear on some photos does not appear on the actual item. There may be clips visible in the photos, variously at the four corners and the top and/or bottom center edges. These are not a flaw in or a part of this item.
